Unlike newspapers and a lot of websites on the web www.nbl.com tell the facts of things that have not been made up by somebody to fill a blank space in there paper or to put on their website these stories are coming straight from the horse’s mouth so you can 100% know you are reading the truth.
As I am new to the site myself I have already made it one of my favourites and look forward to checking on a daily basis.

This weekend was goals galore for the top teams in the Premiership with all the big 4 winning their games but Chelsea and Manchester United really hit top form to send out a message to all their rivals that they mean business.

Chelsea were without a few big players but you would never have guessed in their away game at Middlesbrough, leading 1-0 at half time thanks to a first half goal Kalou strike they came out in the 2nd half and completely blew their opponents away with 4 more unanswered goals to leave the Riverside stadium 5-0 victors and leave the home supporters wishing they had stayed at home.

Manchester United were also in the mood for goals in their home game with West Brom, after a goalless 1st half they too came out and scored Four 2nd half goals with Rooney once again chief tormentor scoring once and grabbing an assist in Man-Utd’s easy 4-0 romp.

Liverpool and Arsenal both had to do it the hard way coming back from being behind to both Wigan and Everton respectively, Liverpool had Kuyt to thank with his double giving them a 3-2 home win and Arsenal left it late before seeing off Everton 3-1 at home.

All the games involving Aston Villa v Portsmouth, Bolton v Blackburn and Fulham’s home game with Sunderland all ended in boring 0-0 draws but after all the other goals elsewhere it sorted of evened itself out.

The game at Villa was marred by controversy though when the assistant referee was hit on the head by a object thrown from the crowd and will be fully investigated by the FA so expect a big fine winging it’s way to Villa park in the not too distant future.

Sports book.com are not like the big boys in the betting market in that they only offer bets on mainly just the US sports including US horse racing.

One good thing for punters of US racing though is there weekly race calendar which gives you a lot of help especially when you think about the amount of races they have over in the US on a daily basis.
As well as this they offer in depth betting on American Football (NFL) and all the College games that are coming up over the next week or so with many options available for each fixture, Sports book.com also have a bet in play function on all the upcoming games.

One thing I could not understand though when looking at the American Football coverage was the Live Odds section, which unless you are a regular at betting on the sport would find hard to follow just like I did but you can chose different sports to look at if your head cannot get round it.

Sports book.com also have Casino/Poker rooms that have some great bonuses and promotions on a regular basis and after taking a look I might throw a few quid at it myself as Poker is something I do understand unlike the American Football!

The big boxing fights are also covered as many of them are staged in the USA, with prices available on all the upcoming World Championship bouts throughout all the different weight categories, but apart from that like I have already said this site is very limited to just US sports so unless you’re a fan I would stay clear unless you like Poker.

As you could have imagined BetUs.com covers all the major sports across the Atlantic Ocean in the USA. This is the only website throughout the whole web that I have found that offers bets on all the main US sports such as Baseball, Basketball and American Football with many options available and they also have some great Promotions on all the forms of gambling on the site.

On their Sports book there is over 60% of bonuses to be gained depending on what you first deposit with when opening your BetUS.com account. If Casino/Poker is your thing then for bonuses and Free Roll games you should look no further than BetUS.com because their Poker bonuses I think are the very best currently on the internet with many different Promotions including their own Wacky Wednesdays and Fridays with the chance to win a cool free $50 on many free games during the two days. Also they currently are holding daily $50 free rolls starting at 9pm EST but it is for a limited time so hurry if you want to take advantage of these great free games.

All the money if you were to win any of these free games will be added to your actual players balance in your account but Player’s are asked to earn a minimum of 300 FPP (Frequent Player’s Points) from real money Poker ring games or Poker tournament’s before a cash payout can be made on the money gained from the free games but don’t worry 300 FPP points are very easily obtained.

The best thing about bet us.com is the fact you can get your very own Personal Account manager who will make sure you get all the bonuses you are entitled to through the site just by ringing a free phone number and giving you piece of mind.

The wonderful game of Basketball was invented all the way back in 1891 by a Canadian bloke called Dr James Naysmith who designed a game in order to keep his students occupied and fine tuned during the long cold winter months and to this day although a few things are a little different the game is still exactly the same as it was then except for a few thousand fans now screaming from the sidelines.

Although Basketball is on the up in and around Europe and the Southern hemisphere it has always been one of the biggest sports in the USA along with Baseball and American Football, Today many websites have caught on to the many different bets that can be offered on the Sport including winning point margins, number of points scored by individual players and teams and the general who will the game overall.

Michael Jordan was probably the pioneer that put the game of Basketball on the world map if truth be told (much like David Beckham is doing with Football in the US), during the nineties I remember Sports shops stocking all kinds of Chicago Bulls articles along with other big Basketball clubs from the US.

The game itself is played by five active players on each team trying to score points against one another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet (3 m) high hoop with different scoring zones offering Two and Three point scoring opportunities unless you have been fouled then you get chances to score from the edge of the arc with One point awarded for every basket scored.

www.bet.com - With the Internationals all finished for a while it is time for the premiership to once again take over the TV sets this weekend with some very good looking bets indeed.

Joint leaders of the league Chelsea are the early kick off of the day (12:45pm GMT) as they travel to the north to face Middlesbrough and too be honest should win by a couple of goals in front of the Sky TV cameras.
The other joint leaders in the Premiership are Liverpool and they also play a side in which they should easily take three points from in Wigan, the game at Anfield should be relatively straight forward for the home side and I will pop for a 2 maybe 3-0 win.

Manchester United seem to have overcome their early season problems and now are playing well again and should easily take three points off West Brom in the live late kick off, Arsenal hope to get back to winning ways after a couple of indifferent performances when they entertain off form Everton at the emirates and I expect a one sided match with Arsenal dominant from start to finish.

The early season surprise package Hull City entertain West Ham on Sunday in a game that I think for the first time this season will be favourites in and I can see them carrying on their remarkable form by winning by the odd goal which in turn will add to the woes at West Ham.
My Tips

Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea in a four timer

You can say what you want about the American’s (and most people do) but one thing they do really well is producing top-notch websites for their national sports.

One of the best examples is NBA.com the official website for the National Basketball association.

The site covers everything in the sport from the NBA championship, the minor leagues, the Women’s league to global news.

The first impression when you log on is one of a lot of content meets a professional lay-out. Despite the shear amount of information available at the click of a mouse the landing page somehow manages to organise it in a way which doesn’t seem daunting or messy to the user.

There is also a great use of images central on the page, which rotates through the latest news drawing the eye to what’s going on in the various leagues. All the images are interesting to look at and well used.

Once you explore further you find the multimedia options. Here are a great variety of features on video including game previews and reports plus profiles of players. In addition NBA TV shows a range of live NBA and WNBA fixtures during the season for fans to get really close to the action.

s usual with these sports sites they never miss a trick to sell you something and there is a very visible link taking you to an on-line store with all the official merchandise for your favourite team.

With the new NBA season fast approaching the Boston Celtics and LA Lakers are co-favourites to lift the famous trophy this term.

The two best teams in the last campaign are both 7/2 to go all the way after the Celtics came out on top last season winning the best of seven final four games to two.

New England’s finest have added free agent Darius Miles to their roster for the coming season in order to help their title defence. The forward was originally drafted with the third overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers and was recently with for the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2005-06 season when he averaged a career high 14.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in 40 games. Miles missed all of the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons due to injury but Boston are confident he is fully recovered.

The LA Lakers, despite all their high profiles stars, were disappointing in that final series and the Californians will be hoping to go one better this season. To do this they’ve added both CJ Giles who was unattached and Chinese international Sun Yue, who signs a multi-year contract to their roster.

The latter joined the Lakers as a second round draft pick in 2007 after posting impressive stats in the ABA. He spent last season in Singapore but has returned to bolster the LA roster.

Sergio Garcia can be backed at as little as 5/4 to gain another victory in the final four golf tournaments of the season despite continuing his run of near misses in the tour championship.

The Spaniard lost a play-off to Colombia’s Camilo Villegas and has now finished second in three of the last five individual events he has contested. That of course included the Spaniard just missing out on his maiden Major victory in the USPGA championship.

Garcia has revealed his he will return home before the end of 2008 to take part in both the Castello and Volvo Masters. He’ll then make the long trip to China to contest the HSBC Championship and then he’ll jet into South Africa for the Nedbank Challenge.

‘El Nino’ is 5/1 to win a Major in 2009 while Villegas, whose Tour Championship triumph gave him two victories in as many outings, is 12/1 to win one of the four Grand Slam events next year. The impressive Ryder Cup debutante Anthony Kim is 9/1 to quickly fulfil his potential and take one of the big ones in the new year.

Garcia, Kim and Villegas are now ranked No 5, 6 and 7 in the world rankings respectively and are the top three players on the list not to have won a Major. The Spaniard is 10/11 to break his duck before his two rivals, with Kim at 2/1 and Villegas 14/5.

It seems the odds makers are convinced that either Chelsea, United, Liverpool or Arsenal will win the Carling Cup this season after a price of just 1/5 emerged for that eventuality after the draw for the next round.

In fact the bookmakers are so sure that the successful club will come from that illustrious quartet that you can only get 10/11 that two of them contest the final at Wembley in March

If the trophy doesn’t find it’s way into the cabinet of one of those teams the bookies are also short on the chances of any other top flight club winning the league cup. It’s 10/3 for any other premiership side to win it while it’s 20/1 that one of the eight remaining Football League clubs surprise us all - which will be reduced to seven after Brighton and Derby play their third-round tie.

Chelsea, meantime, have been trimmed to 5/2 favourites to lift the cup after they were given a tie at home to Burnley in the next round and manager Luiz Felipe Scolari showed his intentions with the strength of his team against Portsmouth in the last round.

Manchester United are available at fours but any bet on them comes with the warning they don’t always take this competition seriously and often field an under strength side against ‘lesser’ opposition.

Arsenal are in the market at around 9/2 after their super kids thrashed Sheffield United while holders Spurs are out at 8/1 after being drawn against Liverpool.
