The weekend of 2nd and 3rd June 2012 is the tenth anniversary of Bet2Go. The completion of ten years since its launch is an occasion to be remembered not only by Bet2Go but also the rest of the mobile sports betting industry. As one of the first mobile betting companies, Bet2Go is viewed as a pioneer in mobile sports betting.

CEO thrilled with Bet2Go’s progress

CEO of Collectivity Limited, operator of Bet2Go, Marcel Pyuk said that it was very exciting to be associated with mobile betting. He said that although it seems like a long time since they started, mobile betting has only been increasing as a market with exceptional progress. The users of Bet2Go are needy for better services, resulting in initiating, improving and developing new ways to reach them. He said that reminiscing about initial days during a celebratory moment like this was inevitable, but the mobile betting world is a fast moving one.

He also said that he was thrilled with the smart phone app work which is being developed. It is going to prove to be a forward change in the company’s service, he said. He also mentioned that the Euro 2012 Championship is shaping up to be a new milestone for the mobile betting industry and Bet2Go intends to be an integral part of it.

Tracing Bet2Go’s progress

Initially when Bet2Go was launched there were no mobile phone apps available. Players could place their bets through their mobile devices using the WAP service, which is still functional today. Most of the site users who first signed up with Bet2Go remain its loyal customers to this day. The present app that is utilized by Bet2Go to collect bets has come a long way. In 2005, the J2ME downloadable version became available for the very first time as the one and only app that could be downloaded, complete with images and colors.

Bet2Go was initially promoted by mobile operators through their portals. Users of Bet2Go could make comparisons and place bets across a wide variety of bookmakers including William Hill, BoyleSports, Paddy Power, Blue Square and Ladbrokes. Bet2Go also allows players to compare bets that are accumulated so they can know what the final value will be, depending on the kind of bet.

Phenomenal Increase of 33% in Online Revenue

The statement disclosed ... more]]> Online bookmaker giant William Hill has reported an online profit of almost 20% in the year’s first quarter. According to the company’s Interim Management Statement, a new mobile sports betting app for Apple devices introduced by the site has attracted new customers.

Phenomenal Increase of 33% in Online Revenue

The statement disclosed the performance of the online gambling company and financial figures. An increase of 12% was reported in the William Hill Group’s net revenue and almost 20% as operating profit. Exceptional performance in the sector of online gambling was proved with an increase of net revenue by 33%. William Hill reported an increase of 5% in its retail net revenue.

For the first time, William Hill recorded £50 million sportsbook wagers placed on the site within a week. With the convenience of betting apps, more customers are using mobiles to place wagers on sporting events.

In February, this was not the situation. The adverse weather that month led to a decrease of more than 6% in horse racing wagers. The low number of fixtures in horse racing also did not help the situation.

William Hill CEO Thrilled with Q1 Results

Ralph Topping, CEO of William Hill, stated that he was extremely pleased with the results of the first quarter. Topping added that online growth of 31% in sports betting was a result of smart investments in gambling innovations and marketing. The Sportsbook app, which is available in Apple’s App Store, has boosted mobile betting performance.

The app was launched in February and was downloaded by almost 200,000 users. New players using the app at William Hill were more than 25%. The app was ranked among the top five sports betting apps. Within a week of the app’s launch, turnover in mobile revenue reached more than £10 million.

Topping revealed that the new channels for online wagering play an important role in innovating gambling. They have great potential to do the same. The gambling giant is valued at almost £2 billion after shares closed at almost 270 pence last week. Topping also clarified the status of the company’s Nevada licensing application and mentioned that the process was going smoothly and well within the time schedule.

I’m not sure I’d go that far if I’m honest, considering Barcalona are still unquestionably the best football team in the world, with a solid home record in Europe.

I’m not sure I’d go that far if I’m honest, considering Barcalona are still unquestionably the best football team in the world, with a solid home record in Europe.

Chelsea are currently on odds of 7-1 to win the Champions League this season.  A a lot of credit has to go to the current care-taker manager and former West Brom coach, Roberto di Matteo, who brought them from the brink of exit from the Champions League after their 3-1 away loss at Napoli under Andres Villas-Boas.

I still don’t think Chelsea are favorites to go through to the final however, and even if they do, I wouldn’t fancy them against Bayern Munich on their home soil or even reunited with Mourinho at Real Madrid.

The difference between a 1-0 and 2-0 clean sheet victory at Stamford Bridge would have been huge.  At 2-0, Chelsea would have been huge favorites to go through and bring revenge on their controversial 2009 Champions League Semi-Final opponents.

A 2-0 aggregate score-line means just a single goal at the Nou camp would require Barca to score 4 (based on away goals rule).  However, a 1-0 scoreline still keeps the game level, especially given the much bigger size of the Nou Camp’s pitch and their best home performances their in La Liga.  Never underestimate the advantage of playing at home for the 2^nd League of a tie.

The fact is, Chelsea got lucky at Stamford Bridge last night.  As we all expected, Barcalona were by far the better team.  They commanded 70% of the possession, completed more then three times as many passes as the Chelsea team, and they decimated Chelsea in terms of chances.  Barcelona had 25 shots (15 on target) compared to Chelsea’s paucity of two shots on goal.

Overall, Barcelona should have won by 2 or more goals last night (hitting the goal post twice), so we need to keep that in mind when looking for a return leg at the Nou Camp.  No disrespect to Chelsea – they were excellent and compact last night, but they definitely rode they luck and they still have a long way to go.  Barca are still favorites to lift the trophy at 6/5 odds (ladbrokes).

Latest Premier League Title Race News

In a bizarre twist of events, Man Utd managed to drop all 3 points away to Wigan 2 weeks ago, narrowing their lead from 8 to 5 points above their neighbors Manchester City.

With just 4 matches remaining, I’m not really interested in predicting how the title race will go.  Man Utd have a huge 5 point advantage above their rivals (who they have yet to play at the Etihad Stadium), however no Premier League game is easy.  I could easily see Man Utd slipping up against Everton this weekend, or at the Etihad Stadium, or at home to Swansea, or even away to Sunderland on the last day of the season.

In contrast, Roberto Mancini already declared Manchester City’s season was over, and they have narrowed the gap from 8 points to 5 points with just 4 games to go.  In other words, they are under no pressure at all and have the added benefit of Carlos Tevez back in their first team, off the end of a sublime hat-trick against West Brom last week.

Manchester City’s 1-0 loss to Swansea at the Liberty Stadium was a huge turning point in the title race.  However, the loss of 2 points here, combined with another 2 points ... more]]> The last 2 weeks have signaled a big, big change in momentum for the 2011/12 Barclays Premier League Title race.

Manchester City’s 1-0 loss to Swansea at the Liberty Stadium was a huge turning point in the title race.  However, the loss of 2 points here, combined with another 2 points dropped at the Britannia Stadium against Stoke in their 1-1 draw last weekend, has put Man Utd in the driving seat.

Although City are level with Man Utd on 70 points, Utd have a game in hand tonight against Fulham, which they should comfortably win at home.  Rooney, Hernandez and Wellbeck are all in goal scoring form, while Utd’s defensive partnership of Evans and Ferdinand at the back seems to be getting better and better.

While the title race is by no means over (it is still in City’s hands if they win their remaining 8 games), the momentum is definitely with the red side of the city, who have a much easier final run-in of games as you can see below.

Title Run-in: Manchester City vs. Manchester Utd

With an average of 2.3 points per game for both clubs this season, it’s pretty obvious that neither team can afford to drop more then 5 points out of the last 8 remaining games of the season.

However, while Utd have a fairly easy run-in of games, which includes Blackburn, QPR and Wigan in the next 2 weeks, City have yet to play against two top 6 teams including at Arsenal away and Newcastle away.

Of course, the biggest game comes down to the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium on April 30^th, which could or could not decide the title.  Judging by the remaining run-in, Utd should be on top and be happy with a draw by the time that game is played.

Let’s just say for argument’s sake that Manchester Utd beat Fulham at home tonight (placing them 3 points above City) and that City fail to beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.  That would give Man Utd a 5 point lead (assuming their don’t also drop points against inferior opponents) and mean the title race would still be in Utd’s favor with a 2 point lead even if they lose to City.

In other words, City simply cannot afford to drop points in the run up to this game – especially against 3^rd place Arsenal at the Emirates.  The same goes for Utd of course, however a drop of points against any of those 6 games in the run up to the City match (including Fulham tonight, Blackburn, QPR, Wigan, Aston Villa and Everton) would be considered poor anyway.

The thing I find most amazing about this season’s title race is that City have spent almost half a billion pounds on their first team signing prodigious talents such as Balotelli, Nasri, Yaya Toure, Dzeko, Silva and Agueor.  And yet Man Utd might still edge them to the title, with a new fangled back four, which includes David de Gea, Phil Jones and Jonny Evans replacing the injured Vidic.

Even with Utd’s back four plagued by injury this season (including long term absences from Evra and Ferdinand) – leading to the same defensive frailties that caused early exits from the Champions League Group Stage, Utd are still in control for the Premier League crown.

Mobile Trading on the ... more]]> The latest iPhone app from City Index allows customers of the site to trade from any part of the world at their convenience. Both CFD trading and spread betting customers who have accounts with City Index can access the mobile app on iPhone, Blackberry and Android devices.

Mobile Trading on the Rise  

According to reports released in 2011 February, about 15% of trades placed by City Index customers are through mobile phones. City Index’s main market strategist, Joshua Raymond stated that trading via mobiles will very soon be spread betting’s future. The same view is shared by the company’s clients who have become increasingly inclined to trading through mobile phones in the past few months.

Main Features of the Mobile App

One of the best features offered by the iPhone trading app is the option to check the recent market fluctuations and updated prices. Bettors can trade from any place across the world at any time and can also access the charting package. A big advantage of using the iPhone trading app is that it gives bettors access to the latest investment news in the world, based on which they can trade.

Through the app, City Index customers can also monitor the markets in which they are interested and access all varieties of order types. A special trading package has been created for betting via City Trading. Customers using the app will have the opportunity to customize the tabs on their home computers to suit trading requirements. Bettors can also see their account overview which includes the cash balance and current P&L.

Those placing bets through mobiles at City Index will have access to a large number of spread betting markets, which is one of the key reasons the company has a big customer base.

Although the iPhone trading app offers a wide range of benefits, it comes with a few risks, one if which is impulsive trading. With customers being constantly exposed to movements in price, they may place a trade without analyzing the market. Ideally, bets should be placed after good market research.
