The NFL which starts every year on the first Thursday after Labour Day in the states and runs until the late December or Early January consisting of sixteen games in the regular season with the possibility of Play-off games for the teams that perform over the regular season with the chance of the Super Bowl at the end of it.

There are two separate Divisions well conferences to be exact, the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC) which consist of four four-team divisions.

The VIP NFL spectator wise is the biggest watched sport in the World when you look at the average number of people going through the turnstiles, drawing in over 67,000 spectators per game for each of the last two years.
Like Basketball in the States the players that are at the top end of the NFL command millions of dollars each year, dwarfing Soccer star’s wages that everybody seems to think are paid the most in the sporting world but when you compare their salaries to the US vip.com sportsmen there is no comparison really.

The Green Bay Packers are the most www.vip.com successful team in the NFL scooping a massive 12 Super bowls throughout their history with the Chicago bears and New York Giants scooping 9 and 7 respectively.

The Super Bowl to the Americans is just like the FA Cup to the English or the Melbourne Cup for the Australians, as in the whole Country stops and witnesses the great event.

But nowadays with the Super bowl being viewed all over the world thanks to all the Sky networks this is something that I expect to get bigger and bigger with American Football Leagues now popping up all over Europe and online sports book like ladbrokes opening.

The Super Bowl is the biggest though with Millions of people young and old all having an interest in the game because it is as well as Baseball and Basketball a truly American sport that people are brought up with and everybody seems to take interest in whether you are from the Country or the City.

You can place your Superbowl bets at www.ladbrokes.com!

Having watched a bit of the game myself over the years there is one thing I always seem to notice that is not common place with say Football in England, the fact that every Stadium no matter the weather always seems to be packed to the rafters with crowds really getting involved singing and chanting from start to finish.

Another good thing I find when watching on the telly is the amount of hot dog and drink vendors constantly walking around the stands selling their merchandise to the burger loving culture that is America.

In this era of the internet and on-line gambling betting companies such as Bet 365 have to compete fiercely with one another to grab new punters.

In this article we look at bet365.co.uk and their welcome offers for new customers.

The main appeal of signing up with www.bet365.co.uk is the range of sporting events you can bet on. They probably have the biggest selection of any in the UK ranging from the horses and football to volleyball and Futsal.

bet 365.co.uk is pretty easy to use too and places in-running options on the homepage which is an advantage when trying to place a last minute online sports book bet. On the surface they offer what looks like a generous £100 free bet for new members but scratch under that venire and you realise you have to work for your bonus.

As with all betting companies this is by no means free money. In essence they are matching you first bet up to £25. So if you place a £20 bet they will give you another £20 to play with. What makes this bonus most complicated though is that they offer it in £25 instalments.

You get up to that amount matched on your first bet then you earn the next £25 after another five bets the next after your tenth and so on. Obviously this is to keep you coming back for more at www.bet 365.co.uk but really puts you off.

That said they do offer decent bonuses once you’re an existing customer during major events but again they often have to be earned.

With so many Internet betting sites such as vip.com to choose from when you fancy a flutter factors like bonuses, reliability and variety of sports as well as the ease of placing your wager are important in whom to choose.

VIP.com are one of the least known but one of the oldest remote gaming companies. Founded in 1996 they started as a telephone betting company and joined the online sports book bandwagon bringing with them the customer base and best practice they had developed previously.

Over the years they have developed a broad based sportsbook and have introduced VIP horses, which offer betting opportunities on international horse racing and harness racing.

They also have an integrated casino and poker network allowing you to transfer funds between accounts. New customers are welcomed with a 20% bonus on their first bet  at www.vip.com and a loyalty scheme is in place to earn further bonuses. Despite these good points there is one major problem.

Unlike the majority of on-line sports book betting sites you seem unable to view odds and generally check out the site without having to register with them.

Normally I don’t mind doing this but there seems no way to get view the site without depositing and like most punters I prefer to explore a site to see if it’s worth committing to before I put money down.

Once in though VIP.com is easy to navigate and it’s proven track record is comforting.

The US Sports betting markets and at ladbrokes.com can prove profitable to both the casual and more discerning punter.

Betting on US Sports breaks into two categories; the form follower and the casual punter and it is with the former that we start with.

The great thing about all US Sports and US online sports book is the amount and variety of stats each sport has. Utilising these is an easy way to guide you towards winning bets.

If you want to make a bet, visit www.ladbrokes.com and test your luck.

For example in baseball not only will the official statistics tell you which team is going well at the moment but also how well that team performs in each month and goes even further and applies that to players. One of the most important factors in baseball is the opposing pitchers and the stat book will tell you how they perform against the team they are facing.

You can pretty much find anything you like from the numbers and they tend to be accurate. The markets also offer opportunities for using these stats well and go from the simply head to head outright to number of runs in the game which can easily be found through research.

Each sport at ladbrokes has this depth of archive and with a proper study should lead you to success. For the more casual among you a simple look at head to head stats can prove a good move and I suggest having ago on Major League Soccer when a glance at home and away form should see you right.

The first ever Coral Kentucky Derby Race was on the 17th of May in 1875, at Churchill Downs in Louisville.

The Race was started by Meriweather Lewis Clarke Jnr, who wanted a race that would rival England’s Epson Derby. Meriweather came to England and studied the Epsom Derby tracks and its races and then went back to Louisville and established the Kentucky Derby Race that most Race goers know and still love today.

You can now also make bets online at coral.co.uk by going to their online sports book.

The Kentucky Derby was however just another Derby race, until 1902 when Colonel Matt J Winn took over the track and although he knew very little about horses and horse racing, he was a great promoter. After frequent trips to new York and persuading owners to enter their horses into the race, the Kentucky Derby became the best known horse race in North America by 1920.

Leading up to this great race you will find a fantastic week of activities going on around the track and it brings in spectators totaling over 100,000. The Kentucky Derby race has always been one and a quarter miles long except in 1879 and 1895, when it was one and a half miles long.

Only three of the top ten is missing this week (that includes Tiger Woods by the way) and with an increased entry this year we are in for some fantastic golf this vip.com weekend.

The extra entries does make it slightly hard to pick the winner of this years event but for the more discerning punter there is some value to be found.

First of all you can’t really ignore world vip number two Phil Mickelson. The ‘lefty’ is playing his usual consistent excellent golf and is the form player after winning at last weekend. At 7/1 he isn’t great value but probably worth putting a quid or two on him.

The very best value seem to be Rod Pampling at 66/1. The Aussie isn’t the most of prolific golfers but there are a few signposts to say he’s worth playing on each way. For a start he’s playing well as shown by his second place last weekend behind Mickelson. Also he led this tournament last year going into the final round before eventually finishing third. Indifferent he may be but has often posted good scores without taking the top prize. www.vip.com

Finally one player at a massive price that might be worth a look at is Matt Kuchar. Don’t let the 125/1 price put you off he’s been playing some good gold recently and could squeeze into the reckoning.

VIP.com has great odds on memorial golf and lots of other sports!

Coca cola championship
This season has seen some very big surprises in the teams that were pushing to get to the Premiership and the ones going down to League 1, none more than Stoke City who surprised the whole country in finishing behind Champions West Brom and gaining promotion to the Premiership.

Bristol City, Hull City, Watford and Crystal palace make up the teams in the playoffs which are sure to be nail biting for the fans concerned with so much money on offer for the team that get’s up.
Leicester city, Colchester, Scunthorpe United were the unlucky teams that dropped out of the Division but it is Leicester City backed by chairman Milan Mandorich’s millions who are the biggest surprise to go down.
My tip for the Playoff winners: Hull City

League 1
The team to surprise everyone this season was Swansea city who took the League by storm winning the title with a massive 92 points, Nottingham forest were the other team (Incidentally the team who I support) to gain promotion by finishing second winning 6 of their last 7 games. Ladbrokes.com

The teams that got relegated to England’s bottom division are Bournemouth, Gillingham, Port Vale, and Luton town but it is Bournemouth who I feel particularly sorry for because they got deducted 10 points due to going into administration and this is what got them ultimately relegated as they went down in the end by 2 points.
Doncaster Rovers, Carlisle United, Leeds United, and Southend United are the teams that make up the Play offs.

NEW MEMBERS of Ladbrokes.com will get a great new customer bonus and the best odds on all UK free sports bets.
