Bitcoin gambling is on the rise, particularly in South Africa, where there are many benefits of using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to place your online bets rather than South African rands. Bitcoin casinos have been available since 2012, and the first bitcoin live casino, offering live table games to South Africans, has further expanded the market in recent years. The online gaming arena is now populated with a large array of reputable Bitcoin casinos, and this is particularly true in South Africa. All of this leads to the question, why are Bitcoin casinos so popular in South Africa

Bitcoin is Already A Popular Choice

It’s important to note that Bitcoin is already a popular payment choice in South Africa. Using cryptocurrency here is often faster and more convenient than using conventional currency, particularly if you are making overseas transfers or transactions. Businesses are also finding that using cryptocurrency can boost their profits, as they don’t have to transfer their payment funds from Rand to US Dollars in order to pay overseas suppliers. This same rule could well apply to online casinos: If you are interested in gambling in a virtual Las Vegas casino, but find the expense of currency transfers off-putting, you could pay with bitcoin (or another cryptocurrency) instead, enabling you to maximize any potential profits. 

Bitcoin Casinos Are Universally Accessible 

The nature of bitcoin casinos means that they have to accept bets from any player who has enough bitcoin currency available to place a wager. Bets can be placed from anywhere in the world, regardless of what local restrictions on online gambling may be in place in that region. You don’t have to pay charges (or those charges that you do have to pay are minimal), you don’t have to buy dollars, and your transaction processing times will be much more rapid too. What’s more, playing can maintain complete anonymity, which is incredibly appealing to some online casino users: you don’t necessarily have to share your name, location, or banking information with the online bitcoin casino that you are using. Of course, this does raise questions about compliance with the regulatory authorities in various regions, but from a user point of view, the lack of many of these regulations on makes the online casino arena much more accessible. 

Bitcoin Gambling Provides Safety and Security

Along a similar vein, Bitcoin gambling also provides safety and security to users, something that is of particular importance to online casino users in South Africa, where financial fraud is such a rife problem. At the highest level, using Bitcoin rather than local currency keeps you safe from government’s prying eyes and ever-increasing overreach. But there are safety and security benefits on a smaller scale too: by using Bitcoin, you don’t have to share your bank account details with the online casino website that you are using. This minimises the risk that your account details could be cloned or stolen, helping you to keep your bank account safe and your money protected. Bitcoin provides a reassuring cloak of anonymity that so many online casino users find reassuring. 

It’s important to note that if you are using a cryptocurrency exchange like Coinbase, Bitstamp, or Binance then some tax authorities in some regions have already imposed legal requirements on these companies to disclose the details that they have available of their account holders. For this reason, if anonymity is important to you, it makes much more sense to use your own Bitcoin wallet to transfer funds to and from your online casino account, preserving your anonymity and keeping your funds as safe (and secret) as possible. 

The much-awaited Tottenham vs Liverpool clash took place yesterday with the Reds triumphing 3-1 and, thoughts and predictions may have changed as to where the two teams now stand in terms of winning the EPL title. After enduring constant scrutiny and criticism about Liverpool’s performance this season compared to last season, the Kop finally has some much-needed enthusiasm and renewed hopes for the team. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Tottenham and its fans as they faced crucial losses along with losing the match. A few weeks ago, Tottenham was topping the tables with constant wins and memorable performances, but lately, there seem to be worrying fundamental errors on the field.

Other than losing a game that was crucial to Spurs progress and Premier League title chances, star striker Harry Kane has also suffered an injury blow after a tackle by Thiago Alcantara. Although it did result in a free-kick, Kane was caught for the second time in another aerial duel with Joel Matip, landing uncomfortably on his other ankle, sealing the deal for the striker. Harry also appears in Sportingbet’s list of Europe’s deadliest strikers with a total of 119 goals in five years in the major leagues, so naturally, Jose Mourinho was not happy about Kane failing to reappear for the second half of the match. He targeted Thiago specifically, who was booked later on in the match for a foul on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Two ankles, the first was a bad tackle, it was Thiago, the second one I didn’t know well,” said the Portuguese manager.

“But two injuries in both ankles, the second one worst than the first one – a few weeks, I don’t know. There are some players you can’t replace. Two ankles, the first was a bad tackle, it was Thiago, the second one I didn’t know well. But two injuries in both ankles, the second one worst than the first one – a few weeks, I don’t know. There are some players you can’t replace.”

Other than Kane’s unfortunate injury, Spurs players also took part in a heated half-time incident that resulted in Serge Aurier rushing out the stadium at half-time. Players were already frustrated and stirring up angry exchanges amongst themselves, as the Reds’ Roberto Firmino managed to net a goal moments before the break due to a couple of defensive errors. Mourinho then made the decision to substitute Auerier at half-time after which he left the stadium clearly infuriated and refused to watch the second half from the benches.

Mourinho later explained the pressure the players were facing: “it was the mood of the team that was difficult to accept you are losing”. After witnessing Kane limping off the field at half-time and Firmino’s surprise goal, tensions were certainly high.

On the contrary, Klopp was immensely impressed with his squad as they managed to win their first Premier League game in six and are now in the fourth position with 37 points (at the time of writing). This win has definitely boosted their premier league title chances and one that was desperately needed given the sullen moods lately. However, Klopp may have also suffered two major injury blows after incidents including Fabhino and Joel Matip. According to recent speculation, Matip may also have to face another spell on the sidelines with an ankle ligament injury. With one of their fit centre-back’s future uncertain and van Dijk out for the rest of the season, now would be a great time for Liverpool to sign a central defender before Monday’s deadline.

Yesterday’s match also saw Trent-Alexander Arnold’s revival and the 22-year-old was integral to Liverpool’s success. Not only did Alexander Arnold manage to net a goal, but he also had a crucial assist in the game. In the post-match interview, Arnold could hardly contain his joy and appreciation for teammates.

“At the end of the day, we are a team that likes to perform well, but it’s a results business, and we want to be getting wins. We have not been able to get that in the last four or five games, so it was good to put things right and do it in a way like we did,”

“It’s been a poor run of results, which we can not really afford, so it was important for us to come here and get a result. We wanted to come here and take the three points, and we have been able to do that with an unbelievable performance from the lads.”

Ghana is without a doubt, one of the top footballing nations in Africa. Famed for supporting youth soccer structures, the country has produced immense talents over the years. Players have emerged from the West African nation to play in famous leagues around the world. We can name so many top Ghanaian players plying their trade in Europe and other continents, but we look at 2020’s top 5 performers in this article.

#1. Andre ‘Dede’ Ayew

Despite his side dropping down to the Championship in the English second tier, the prolific Dede has continued to shine. He is proving his worth at Swansea with his consistent displays in the white jersey. You can follow and bet on the English Championship from your mobile with the Betway app, the most convenient way to bet on the go.

He was quite influential last term when he secured his side an unlikely playoff place with 23 goals. Unfortunately, the Swans fell to Brentford in the semifinals, meaning they would play in the Championship for another season. He is already on ten goals midway through the season, and there are rumours a host of top clubs in Europe are lining up for his signature.

#2. Tariq Lamptey

2020 was a breakthrough year for the baby-faced Anglo-Ghanaian Tariq Lamptey. His performances for Brighton & Hove Albion have not gone unnoticed, with most pundits questioning Chelsea’s decision to release the wonderkid.

Despite playing for a lowly EPL side, he is arguably one of the league’s best right backs. Spanish giants Atletico Madrid have been monitoring Lamptey, and we’ll see how it goes during the next transfer window.

#3. Jordan Ayew

The younger Ayew has been one of Crystal Palace’s most important player. His goal return of 9 goals for the season was his best despite being used from the bench towards the end of 2020. He also became the highest-scoring Ghanaian player in the English Premier League with his goal against Bournemouth in June, overtaking Tony Yeboah. You can bet on him scoring when Palace take to the field next with Betway.

#4. Mohammed Kudus

The young Kudus endured an injury-plagued end to the year 2020, but his form across the year was a success. His 11 goals for FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark saw him secure a dream move to Dutch Champions Ajax Amsterdam. Expected to fill in the shoes left by Donny Van de Beek, Kudus did so with aplomb. He scored one goal and assisted three times in his first three outings. There is certainly more to come from the Ghanaian prodigy.

#5. Bernard Mensah

Once considered Ghana’s brightest prospect, Bernard Mensah is not where he ought to be. He did not make it at Atletico Madrid, but he found his best form at Kayserispor in the Turkish Super League. His performances in 2020 saw him return to the Black Stars squad. He played a part in 13 goals for the Turkish side last season, and he looks to have picked from where he left, scoring twice and assisting once this season.

Conclusion

All the above are active players whom fans from Ghana and Africa at large will be following keenly throughout the 2020/21 season. Betway offers markets for all football leagues across the globe.

The countdown is on for the 147th Kentucky Derby, the most prestigious thoroughbred horse race in the US racing calendar. The eyes of the racing world will be fixed firmly on Churchill Downs racetrack on May 1, for what American racing fans call “the greatest two minutes in sport”.

With less than 100 days until the next Kentucky Downs, the leading handicappers and tipsters are already looking to pull together the best Kentucky Derby picks, underpinned by detailed analysis from those with decades of experience as bettors and sportswriters.

The latest president of Churchill Downs racetrack has spoken of his excitement about 2021’s Kentucky Derby returning to its rightful place in the calendar as the first weekend in May. In 2020, the issues with the pandemic forced the racetrack to close its doors, with the race eventually staged during the Roses to Labor Day weekend in the fall. Only essential personnel and close family were permitted to enter Churchill Downs last year, but President Mike Anderson is hopeful that a limited number of spectators will be permitted to enter in 2021, which he estimates at 40% of normal capacity.

Anderson said that it’s likely no general admission tickets will be distributed for 2021’s race either, with spectators required to sit in pre-assigned seats at the racetrack. Anderson warned the racetrack is experiencing “similar challenges” to last year, but insisted it was looking to “learn from the knowledge and the experience” of staging 2020’s race.

There’s no doubt that 2021’s Kentucky Derby will be somewhat less acrimonious. Last year, the racetrack fielded significant protestations outside in the week leading up to the event, with demonstrators making their voices heard on the streets. Anderson was quick to gloss over the issues that plagued last year’s event but insisted that Churchill Downs would always “listen to [its] community” and “adjust as necessary” in future years.

Churchill Downs looking to forge ahead with multi-million-dollar redevelopment

Despite the setbacks of the last 12 months at Churchill Downs, the racetrack is working hard to pursue its ambitious redevelopment plans, which are projected to cost a total of $300 million. The capital investment is geared towards creating a world-leading racetrack, centred around new race experiences for its VIP guests, as well as the launch of a new on-site 156-room hotel, additional racetrack seating, a “historical racing machine” facility and an $11m upgrade to Millionaires Row; the latter of which is being overseen by President, Mike Anderson.

The sixth-floor Millionaires Row is to receive a long-awaited upgrade in its facilities, delivering upscale entertainment for guests and delegates, with an unrivalled panoramic view of the finish line for up to 350 people. Millionaires Row will benefit from a redefined culinary experience, with a new and exclusive dining menu, drinks packages and concierge services to create the best possible hospitality experiences.

In addition, the hospitality area of Millionaires Row will also give guests the option of having their very own in-room handicapper, who they can use to discuss and take wagers ahead of the race.

Who are the handicappers likely to plump for in the 2021 Kentucky Derby?

Essential Quality is one horse on the lips of many tipsters and handicappers at present. The horse has won every single race he’s been entered into thus far and looks a fine specimen. He won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile with relative ease, suggesting that he is more than capable of winning regularly in Grade 1 company.

A lot of handicappers are also taking a keen eye on Life is Good, the colt trained by Bob Baffert. Baffert has one of the best recent win records in the biggest events of US horse racing, having overseen Authentic’s victories in the Kentucky Derby as well as the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

It would also be foolhardy to discount the winning potential of Jackie’s Warrior, who is a proven winner at five, six, and seven furlongs, as well as a mile. The only blot on his copybook is a poor showing at the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, which was eventually won by Essential Quality. One thing is for sure, it’s great to see the Kentucky Derby back at the front and center of this year’s global racing calendar.

Livescore is the best site for statistics of sports events, which provides data on soccer and other 8 kinds of sports. The resource has a huge traffic and is popular due to its wide functionality, here you can not only get specific data on a particular tournament soccer result or match, but also follow the events online through the “Text commentary” while chatting with other visitors.

In addition to the fact that the platform provides the results of events in real time, the resource also provides detailed statistics for each participant in the competition. Such soccer results statistics are more accurate than those provided by the bookmaker. Since any bookmaker usually writes in the rules that he is not responsible for the exact statistical information posted on his website.

Livescore’s list of highlighted events can even outshine some bookmakers. On very “hot” days, for example, the number of events in the football section can reach 500 matches, different countries of championships and tournaments. So, it is not difficult to track the desired event.

Betting Tips for Beginners using statistics

Allow yourself sufficient time for analysis. Only meticulous preparation will protect you from failure:

  • Study the line;
  • review statistics;
  • take into account the form and motivation of your team’s opponents; 
  • work through as many factors as possible!

Don’t bet on unfamiliar disciplines. If you are good at football but only baseball games are available on the line, don’t wager. Forget betting on favorites to win with scanty quotes. Losing in such cases is very annoying: even champions often lose or draw. The probable gain is too meager to compensate for such losses. 

As an example of betting strategy, lets take strategy for total in football (over / under 2.5). In football, betting on total is very popular. You need to predict whether there will be 2.5 goals in the match or over 2.5. For this strategy, you need to select certain matches, conducting a preliminary analysis. Using statistics sites, analyze the teams’ previous games, their personal meetings, the current form, the importance of the fight, lineups, tactics, and only then place your bet. It is very important to calculate the percentage of how many times there were over/under in the last games, as well as throughout the season. Theory is extremely important, but practice is even more important. By combining these components, the chances of a profitable game in the bookmaker’s office will increase.

The entertainment industry of Nigeria has grown to become one of the key players in its economy. From sports and media to films and gambling, Nigeria has it all. 

Some of the biggest names in the global entertainment industry are from Nigeria. However, sadly, not many people know and realize the potential of Nigeria. 

With that view in mind, we have curated a few pieces of information about Nigeria’s entertainment industry for more people to know and appreciate the gold mine that the nation is.

The Film Industry of Nigeria:

One of the biggest and an integral part of Nigeria’s entertainment sphere is its film industry. Some very well-known and established names in Hollywood hail from Nigeria. 

Plus, Nigeria’s film industry is also one of the biggest job creators in the country. If sources and surveys are to be believed, this film industry produces about fifty movies every week. 

This is only second to India’s Bollywood. With fifty movies every week, the film industry of Nigeria has emerged to become a hotspot for job opportunities. 

It employs not just the actors and directors, but also technicians, makeup artists and many more such people. Though the revenue garnered by Nigeria’s film industry does not match up to Hollywood or Bollywood, it is still a significant contributor to the nation’s economy. 

It has been noted that Nigeria’s film industry creates about one million jobs and raises about $590 each year. With such figures being churned out every year, it is normal for the industry to be one of the biggest job creators.

The entertainment industry of Nigeria also has a significantly low production cost when compared to the other industries. 

The films are mostly made and produced in a month, and start making money the minute they are released. This has enabled the film industry of Nigeria to lower its production cost but increase their revenue. 

In a nutshell, the Nigerian film industry is nothing less than a gold mine with amazing potential.

The Gaming and Gambling Industry of Nigeria:

Now that we have discussed Nigeria’s film industry, it is time we look at the various aspects of its gaming industry. 

Over the last couple of weeks, the Nigerian gaming industry has flourished and gained a solid footing in the market. 

With enhanced network connection and better accessibility in smartphones, the gaming industry has now been able to raise revenue. 

In fact, Nigeria has emerged to become one of the leading names in the gambling market. iGaming has been on the rise ever since network connections have improved, something that was a challenge in the past. 

People now have accessibility to more smartphones. They can play online on casinos like the Canada online casino using VPNs or in any offshore-owned and operated casino.

That said, it must be noted at this point in time that the laws of gambling in Nigeria were quite stringent. Gambling, as an activity, was a punishable offence, and it still falls under the Criminal Code Act and Gaming Machines Act of 1977. 

This means that Nigerians might still not be allowed to gamble in the locally operated online and offline casinos. However, they can gamble on online casinos and land-based casinos outside the purview of their law. 

This is a significant and refreshing change in the body of law since it reduces fraudulent activities and garners revenue.

Plus, it must also be noted that the online betting industry is quite a big one in Nigeria. It is a significant contributor to the economy of Nigeria. 

The three-most accessed online betting sites in Nigeria are Merrybet, Nairabet and Winners Golden Bet. These sites are accessed by thousands of Nigerians each day and are also sanctioned by the government. 

This is what makes these sites safe to play on. Since betting on sports is legal in Nigeria, the revenue that is received directly contributes to the economy.

Wrapping Up:

As we can see from the discussion, the entertainment industry in Nigeria is a massive pool of talents and technological innovations. 

Though, there has been a period of doldrums in the past where the Nigerians had to face technological challenges of their own, things have changed now. 

The scene in Nigeria’s entertainment industry is quite refreshing and shall continue to be so. As the days bleed into years and months, the innovations shall only enhance, and Nigeria’s entertainment industry shall continue to blossom. 

Nigerians have taken on the world with their talent, and shall continue doing so in the years to follow.

If you’ve invited somebody you like to go on a date and they’ve accepted the offer, you want to make the best first impression ever. Planning a first date can be tricky, especially if it’s with somebody that you’ve only just met. Make the right choice, and you could end up in a successful relationship with them or at the very least an invitation to a second date. But make the wrong choices, and your date might end up being a flop. Thankfully, we’ve got some first date planning tips that you can put to use to make sure that everything goes successfully. 

Safety First:

If you’ve been using a dating site to find women here nearby to where you are, you might be going on a first date with somebody who you have never met in person before. In this case, it’s important to make sure that you stay safe by planning your date to take place in a public place. This is not only important for your own safety but also shows that you care for the safety of your date. This is especially true if you are a guy going on a first date with a woman since women tend to be generally at more risk when dating online. 

Keep it Simple:

First dates can always be a little bit awkward especially if you’ve been using a dating site to chat with Fort Lauderdale girls & single women and have asked somebody you’ve never met in person out on a date. So, don’t do anything too extravagant for the first time that you meet. The first date should be all about getting to know one another and figuring out whether or not you’re going to be a good match. And you want to make a good first impression, so this isn’t the time to try out a new activity for the first time. 

Make Sure You Can Talk:

As already mentioned, your first date should be all about getting to know one another. So while activities like going to see the latest film release at the cinema make great date ideas, they don’t always work well on the first date since you don’t get much time to talk to one another. Choose a venue for your date where you can have a good conversation and get to know each other and what you enjoy. A restaurant is a good venue or this or if you want to do something more adventurous, consider an activity that you can do together while chatting. 

Make an Effort:

Last but not least, it goes without saying that you should always make an effort with yourself. Even the simplest of first dates can be amazing when it’s clear that the person you’re going on a date with has made a huge effort for you. Turn up looking amazing, ask questions, and be a good listener.

Planning a first date can be nerve-wracking but it’s the first step in what could be an amazing relationship.

On the other hand, there’s plenty of other very talented athletes playing at other European clubs, such as Chelsea, or Manchester City, or even smaller ones like Everton and Stade Rennais.
