Sports / The Potential Advancement In The Sports Betting Industry by Ashleyokeneye(f): 1:28pm On Apr 11, 2023
The sports betting industry is one of the world's oldest and most popular forms of gambling. It has been around for centuries and is expected to continue to grow and evolve with the changing times. The sports betting industry has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, particularly in the United States, where the sector has experienced rapid growth following the legalization of sports betting in many states.

The sports betting industry has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, and it’s no surprise that tech companies are beginning to notice. With the advent of new technologies, the sports betting industry has the potential to be completely transformed. One of the most significant drivers of change in the sports betting industry has been the global expansion of legalized sports gambling. Countries such as Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, australia, and Ireland have all seen changes in their regulatory landscape, with more markets opening up to licensed operators. This expansion has led to increased competition among operators, driving innovation and growth in the industry.
The potential advancements in the sports betting industry are exciting, and it’s clear that technology could revolutionize the industry. With the help of AI, blockchain technology, and augmented and virtual reality, the sports betting industry could become much more efficient, secure, and accurate. It will be interesting to see how the industry develops in the coming years.

As sports betting becomes more widespread, concerns about problem gambling and the need for responsible gambling measures have also grown. This has led to the development of innovative solutions that use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to identify and mitigate the risks associated with problem gambling.

By embracing technological advancements, promoting education and awareness, and implementing robust regulatory measures, the sports betting industry can continue to flourish while minimizing the potential negative impacts on society. The road ahead may be uncertain, but with the right approach, the sports betting industry’s future promises to be a thrilling and rewarding journey for all involved.

The Super Falcons will seek victory over World Cup co-hosts New Zealand in Turkey on Tuesday to prove that their recent wins over Costa Rica and Haiti were no flukes, according to team captain Onome Ebi.

This came after the 1-0 defeat of Costa Rica at the Revelation Cup Tournament in Mexico, the goal also coming off the boot of Esther Okoronkwo.

“We have to maintain the form that we have attained over the past two matches,” Ebi said moments after the team’s last training session at the Emir Sports Complex on Sunday. “It is important for us to keep up the momentum, to keep winning and know that we can always overwhelm our opponents. The spirit is back and we are determined to sustain it.”

Tuesday’s clash against New Zealand will take place at the Mardan Sports Complex in Antalya, as from 4pm Turkish time (2pm Nigeria time).

Ebi, who has played in five FIFA World Cup finals (USA 2003, China 2007, Germany 2011, Canada 2015 and France 2019) will be making her sixth appearance at football’s top table for women when the Falcons take on co-hosts australia, Canada and Republic of Ireland in Melbourne and Brisbane this summer.visit naijabet for bosted match odds and more updates

Sports / How Much Women Umpires Earn In Cricket by MeerHadi(m): 11:10pm On Mar 27, 2023
The earnings of women cricket umpires can vary depending on a range of factors such as experience, level of certification, location, and the specific league or tournament they are officiating. However, in general, the pay for women cricket umpires is not as high as that for male umpires, and this is due to several reasons.

Firstly, women's cricket is not as popular or as widely watched as men's cricket, and as such, it does not generate as much revenue. This means that the budgets for women's cricket are generally smaller, which in turn affects the pay for women umpires. Secondly, there are fewer women umpires than men, which means that there is less competition for umpiring positions.

This lack of competition can also affect the pay for women umpires, as there is less pressure on cricket organizations to pay competitive wages. That being said, the pay for women cricket umpires has been increasing over the years, as more women become involved in the sport, and as the demand for qualified female umpires increases.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively promoting women's cricket, and this has led to more opportunities for women umpires at the international level. At the international level, the pay for women cricket umpires can range from $1,000 to $5,000 per match, depending on their level of experience and certification. For example, an umpire with an ICC Elite Panel certification, which is the highest level of certification for umpires, can earn up to $5,000 per match. However, the majority of women umpires at the international level are not at this level, and as such, they earn less. At the domestic level, the pay for women cricket umpires can vary widely depending on the league or tournament they are officiating. In some countries, such as England and australia, where women's cricket is more developed and has a larger fan base, the pay for women umpires is relatively higher than in other countries. Women cricketers earnings In India.

For example, in the Women's Big Bash League in australia, the umpires can earn up to $2,000 per match. In contrast, in countries where women's cricket is not as developed, the pay for women umpires is generally lower. For example, in India, where women's cricket has only recently started to gain popularity, the pay for women umpires can range from INR 1,500 to INR 5,000 per match, which is roughly equivalent to $20 to $70 USD.

It is worth noting that the pay for women cricket umpires is not just determined by the cricket organizations, but also by the governing bodies that oversee cricket in each country. In some cases, the governing bodies may provide financial support to women umpires to help them develop their skills and gain certification. For example, in India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) provides financial assistance to women umpires to attend certification courses. In conclusion, the pay for women cricket umpires can vary widely depending on several factors such as experience, level of certification, location, and the specific league or tournament they are officiating.

While the pay for women umpires is generally lower than that for male umpires, it has been increasing over the years, as more women become involved in the sport, and as the demand for qualified female umpires increases. Additionally, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively promoting women's cricket, which has led to more opportunities.

1. Kerry Packer – $5 Billion: Kerry Packer might have become australia’s richest man through his family’s business empire, but it’s gambling that he will always be remembered for. This is because Packer always played big.

2. Tony Bloom – $1.5 Billion: There is a bit of a mystery surrounding Tony Bloom, like many people who have made their money in the gambling world. The only thing we know about him is that he studied mathematics at The University of Manchester and was an avid poker player when he was young. Over the years this hobby has won him around $2.5 million and has seen him play in some huge tournaments including the World Poker Tour and Poker Million IX where he finished second.

3. Bill Benter – $1 Billion: Another math whizz who has used his intelligence to earn a fortune by gambling is Bill Benter. Like many young gamblers, Benter started his career counting cards in Las Vegas before turning his attention to horse racing in Hong Kong. In partnership with another gambler, Alan Woods, Benter began building an algorithm that could predict a horse’s chance of winning with incredible accuracy.

4. Edward Thorp – $800 Million: Coming in one place behind Bill Benter is the man who inspired him to gamble in the first place, and Edward Thorp, the man who invented card counting. Using his mathematical and technological genius, Thorp created a way of overturning the house advantage when playing blackjack.

5. Alan Woods – $500 Million: Former Bill Benter partner Alan Woods made money in a similar manner. At one point, they both counted cards together and even worked on the same team. As a result of being blacklisted from Las Vegas casinos, they turned their attention to the Hong Kong horse races. As a result of their falling out, Woods came up with a model that was every bit as successful as Benter's.

Sports / Women's Football World Cup Players Ask For Equal Prize Money by Ashleyokeneye(f): 1:45pm On Mar 16, 2023
The global professional soccer players' union sent FIFA a letter signing 150 players from the women's national teams calling for equal World Cup prize money. As confirmed by FIFPro, the letter - which also demanded equal rights for women's teams competing in soccer's most prestigious tournament - was sent to the sport's governing body in October, a month before the men's World Cup began. The Women's World Cup is set for this summer in australia and New Zealand.

"We can confirm a letter signed by 150 players from national teams on every continent was sent to FIFA in October. These players are seeking equitable conditions before the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. FIFPRO is currently negotiating with FIFA on behalf of these players," FIFPro said in a statement. Increasingly, FIFA is being asked to make the prize money for the two tournaments more equitable.
Argentina earned $42m for winning the men's World Cup in Qatar, out of a prize pool of $440m. In contrast, the US women's national team won $4m out of a prize pool of $30m for the 2019 Women's World Cup in France. The prize pool for the women's tournament this summer has not been set.

In accordance with their historic collective bargaining agreements reached last year, the US men's and women's national teams will split the prize money equally after US Soccer deducts its own percentage. In ongoing negotiations with Canada Soccer for a new labor agreement, the Canadian women's national team has called for a similar provision. At present, only US Soccer distributes World Cup prize money equally.

The Women's World Cup, which starts on July 20, has an expanded field of 32 teams, up from 24 in France. The 2019 tournament drew a global broadcast audience of over 1bn viewers.

Sports / FIFA Council Approves International Match Calendars by postbox: 11:59am On Mar 15, 2023
Men’s and Women’s International Match Calendar (IMCs) approved; FIFA World Cup 2026™ (https://www.FIFA.com) to feature competition format of 12 groups of four; FIFA World Cup 2026™ final to take place on Sunday, 19 July 2026; dedicated task force on player welfare established; additional transfer reforms unanimously approved.

The FIFA Council met in advance of the 73rd FIFA Congress in Kigali, Rwanda, and adopted several key decisions, particularly in relation to the future of men’s and women’s competitions, for which the respective international match calendars were unanimously approved following a detailed consultation process.

Men’s International Match Calendar 2025-2030


The Men’s International Match Calendar 2025-2030 will be structured as follows:


March: a nine-day, two-match window
June: a nine-day, two-match window (including friendlies in preparation of final tournaments where appropriate)
Late September/early October: a 16-day, four-match window (to be introduced as of 2026, with two nine-day, two-match windows to be retained in September and October 2025)
November: a nine-day, two-match window
Based on the new calendar, the FIFA World Cup 2026 final will be played on Sunday, 19 July 2026, with the mandatory release period starting on 25 May 2026, following the last official club match on 24 May 2026 (exemptions may apply to the final matches of confederation club competitions until 30 May 2026 subject to FIFA’s approval).

With 56 days, the total combined number of rest, release and tournament days remain identical to the 2010, 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup™ editions. The detailed Men’s International Match Calendar 2025-2030 will be published in the coming days.

Women’s International Match Calendar 2024-2025

As per the current calendar, the Women’s International Match Calendar 2024-2025 will contain six international windows per year. Some of these windows will include a variety of window types to enable the confederations to deliver their specific competition qualification pathways and to enable the member associations to play friendly matches.

The Women’s Olympic Football Tournament dates (25 July-10 August 2024) have been added to the calendar, as well as the Concacaf W Gold Cup that will be played for the first time from 20 February to 10 March 2024.

The FIFA Council also unanimously approved the establishment of a dedicated task force on player welfare to ensure the smooth implementation of player welfare principles such as mandatory rest periods.

“FIFA promoted a truly global approach to the discussions on the International Match Calendar, which considered the perspectives of all key stakeholders,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

“Our fundamental objective is to have clarity on this topic, and to have meaningful football matches while protecting the well-being of the players and recognising that many regions need more competitive football.”

FIFA World Cup 2026 competition format

Based on a thorough review that considered sporting integrity, player welfare, team travel, commercial and sporting attractiveness, as well as team and fan experience, the FIFA Council unanimously approved the proposed amendment to the FIFA World Cup 2026 competition format from 16 groups of three to 12 groups of four with the top two and eight best third-placed teams progressing to a round of 32. The revised format mitigates the risk of collusion and ensures that all the teams play a minimum of three matches, while providing balanced rest time between competing teams.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ – key principles of access list

Following on from the approval of the slot allocation for the 32-team FIFA Club World Cup™ that will be played every four years as of June 2025, the FIFA Council unanimously approved the key principles of access with the aim of ensuring the highest quality possible based on sporting criteria.

With a period of consideration being the four-year period of the seasons ending in 2021 and 2024, the key principles of access are as follows:

For confederations with more than four slots: access for the champions of the previous four editions of the confederation’s premier club competition, and additional teams to be determined by a club ranking based on the same four-year period
For confederations with four slots: access for the champions of the previous four editions of the confederation’s premier club competition
For confederations with one slot: access for the highest ranked club between the champions of the confederation’s premier club competition in the four-year period
For the host country: access for the club occupying this slot will be determined at a later stage

Other criteria also apply:

In the event of a club winning two or more editions of the confederation’s premier club competition during the 2021-2024 period, a club ranking calculated based on sporting criteria will be used to grant access
A cap of two clubs per country will be applied to the access list with an exception in case more than two clubs from the same country win the confederation’s premier club competition over the four-year period
Further consultation will follow with confederations and stakeholders to define the calculation mechanisms of the club ranking, which will be based on sporting criteria
Yearly FIFA club competition

Since the current version of the FIFA Club World Cup™ will be discontinued after the 2023 edition and, given the need expressed by the confederations for the champions of their premier club competitions to play each other annually to stimulate competitiveness, the FIFA Council unanimously approved the strategic concept of a yearly FIFA club competition as of 2024. This competition will feature the champions of the premier club competitions of all confederations and conclude with a final to be played at a neutral venue, between the winner of the UEFA Champions League and the winner of intercontinental play-offs between the other confederations. Details on timing and format will follow in due course.

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027™ Bidding Regulations approved

In line with the decision taken at its meeting on 14 February 2023, the FIFA Council unanimously approved the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027™ Bidding Regulations, which will see the most comprehensive bidding process in the history of the competition before the host(s) are due to be appointed by the FIFA Congress next year.

FIFA Statutes

The FIFA Council also decided to set up a working group across all confederations to conduct a comprehensive review of the FIFA Statutes in order to present proposals to next year’s FIFA Congress. This review shall consider the possibility to extend FIFA’s mandate to include the eFootball category as part of FIFA’s overall objectives.

Transfer reform

The FIFA Council unanimously approved amendments to the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP) related to registration periods and the need to ensure increased protection for unemployed football players, as part of the third package of the transfer reform process. In addition, the FIFA Council also agreed to mandate the FIFA administration to explore possible further regulatory steps to protect the well-being of female players in line with the RSTP, particularly in the following areas: adoption, abortion, menstrual health, multiple births, breastfeeding, and childcare.

Other decisions

The regulations in relation to the operations of the FIFA Talent Development Scheme in which FIFA will invest USD 200 million from 2023 to 2026 were unanimously approved. An update on the FIFA Women’s World Cup australia & New Zealand 2023™ was provided, and the FIFA Council approved the publication of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ debrief report. The FIFA Council confirmed that the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup UAE 2023™ will take place from 16 to 26 November 2023, and the slot allocation for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Seychelles 2025™ was also approved (AFC: 3; CAF: 2; Concacaf: 2; CONMEBOL: 3; OFC: 1; UEFA: 4; host country: 1.
