Four players to watch in Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

Just when the new Premier League season was starting to get exciting, it’s ground to a halt for an international break. That means we have to twiddle our thumbs for a couple of weeks as we wait for the top flight of English football to return, but there is plenty to look forward to when it kicks back off again — particularly Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium on September 24.

Both of the North London sides have started the season well, with identical records of three wins, one draw and no defeats in their first four games. This is the perfect opportunity for either the Gunners or Spurs to make a big statement of intent and Ange Postecoglou’s stock will only rise further if he can guide Tottenham to their first win against their rivals here since 2018.

Mikel Arteta’s side are the big favourites in the Arsenal Spurs betting odds. But this a derby, and anything could happen when tensions reach boiling point on September 24. That said, let’s take a look at four players — two from each side — who could make a difference at the Emirates.

Bukayo Saka

Kicking things off with a member of the home side, Bukayo Saka has carried the fine form from his career-best campaign last year — when he scored 14 goals and assisted 11 in 38 Premier League appearances — into the early stages of this season.

The 22-year-old scored a stunning strike against Nottingham Forest as Arsenal won their opening game 2-1 at the Emirates and he was on the scoresheet again against Fulham, this time converting from the penalty spot. Saka also assisted Declan Rice’s goal six minutes into injury time in the 3-1 win over Manchester United.

Saka has one goal and two assists against Spurs, but has never lost to them at the Emirates and will play a big role in trying to ensure that run continues here.

Son Heung-min

By his usual exceptionally high standards, Son Heung-min fell below the bar of expectation in his performances for Spurs last season. There were concerns going into this season whether or not he could discover his best form, which would be crucial considering Harry Kane departed for Bayern Munich.

Another slow start to the campaign would have had Tottenham fans worried about whether their star winger’s powers are dwindling now he’s 31. However, he scored a fantastic hat-trick against strugglers Burnley before the international break and hopefully he can pick up where he left off when the Premier League resumes.

Son has historically been a tricky player for Arsenal, with five goals and five assists in 18 renewals of the North London Derby.

Declan Rice

A player we touched on earlier when talking about Saka, Rice was Arsenal’s marquee signing this summer as the Gunners splashed an eye-watering club-record fee of £105 million to bring the 24-year-old across London to the Emirates from West Ham United — making him the third most expensive player in Premier League history.

He is justifying the price tag and repaying Arteta’s faith thus far, however, winning 80% of his tackles while making six interceptions, four clearances and 23 recoveries in four appearances — and, of course, scoring that aforementioned goal in the dramatic finish against Manchester United.

Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr have received plaudits for their performances in midfield for Spurs this season, but Rice’s presence could mean Arsenal win this battle.

James Maddison

Despite Leicester City’s struggles last season, as the Foxes suffered relegation from the Premier League, James Maddison still managed to have a decent campaign on an individual level — scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists (the most he has produced thus far in a single season) in 30 top-flight games.

The 26-year-old has hit the ground running since joining Spurs for £40m this summer, assisting twice on his Premier League debut against Brentford before scoring in back-to-back games against Bournemouth and Burnley before the break.

Maddison has two goals and two assists in nine previous outings against Arsenal, and after his fine start to the season, he will be confident he can add to that tally.

How to Choose the Best Casinos in 2023

The iGaming industry is ever-evolving, and it reached unprecedented numbers in 2023. Recent studies show that the global gaming market grew to over $700 billion in 2023, from “a mere” $450 billion in 2022. The annual growth rate of the industry as a whole was 56.4%, which is a staggering number by itself. Experts expect the market to grow up to around $800 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 2.5% – and the most significant number of it falls to online casinos.

There are more than 4,800 registered casinos and gambling platforms as of early 2023, and the number is expected to grow at a rate of about 5% yearly in the following decade. As useful as it is for players to have a choice, the task of choosing an online platform can be a daunting one. Ideally, you’re looking for a site that ensures a safe, enjoyable, and rewarding experience. That’s why you should make an informed decision before registering with a site, and that’s where we come in. We’ll provide you with a guide on how to choose the best casinos on sites such as https://highstakes-casinos.com in 2023 and make sure that you’re getting the most out of your time and money.

Licensing and Reputation

The first determining factor that either makes or breaks a casino site is the license. It’s also the first sign that you should look for. Ideally, the site you’ve chosen should be fully licensed, regulated, audited, and overseen by your domestic governing body. Be it the UK Gambling Commission, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, the Malta Gaming Authority, or any other reputable governing body, the site you’ve chosen must have a valid license issued recently.

Be vary of rogue casinos (sites that don’t have a license) because you and your personal information may be at risk. Always choose sites that have been tested and audited, and you can take it a step further by checking when was the last audit done. Moreover, check out if the games at the site have been tested for fairness and randomness by a reputable third-party testing agency such as eCogra.

And last but not least, you should look for reputable sites that have positive reviews by players and have proven their authenticity.

Game Library

The game portfolio is another crucial factor when choosing a casino to play. You’re probably looking for a site that contains lots of games, powered by leading software providers. If that’s the case, then you should check out the game library and see what’s on offer. Do you see the games that you would like to play? Is it varied enough? Does the site include a sportsbook? Can you play live casino games?

If all of these boxes are checked, then you can proceed with the next step – the banking section.

Payment Methods, Deposits, and Withdrawals

How you transact money to and from the casino is of crucial importance, and it’s the next aspect you should check. Visit the banking section (or the ‘Cashier’), and open the list of available payment methods. Check if the casino accepts popular services such as Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or the one you prefer.

Then, check the minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts, see if the site imposes fees for transactions, and check the transaction time.

If all is well, you can proceed with the next step.

Bonuses & Promotions

The bonus section is probably the most visited page of any casino, and it’s another factor you should consider. Check out the welcome bonus, see what’s on offer, and read the terms and conditions carefully. Make sure that the wagering requirements are reasonable, and that the expiry date is at least a week away.

If everything looks good, you can proceed by registering as a new user and making your first deposit.

Decentralized Sports Betting: Is it Worth It?

With the rise of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, the once-centralized world of betting on sports is witnessing a transformation. Behold is a new technology—decentralized sports betting—which, in many ways, has transformed how people gamble online. But is it worth your time, energy, and investment?

Let’s dive right into the details.

Transparency and Fairness

The best decentralized sports betting sites out there guarantee one thing: transparency, a feature made possible through blockchain technology. What does this signify? Essentially, blockchain is a digital ledger that chronologically records transactions.

This spells great advantages for sports betting as all transactions are visible, trackable, and cannot be altered or tampered with. This level of transparency allows for a fair and open sports betting environment, eliminating the chances of foul play on the part of the betting platforms.

User Anonymity

Another enticing characteristic of decentralized sports betting is the privacy and anonymity it affords users. Unlike traditional sports betting, where personal information is required when placing a bet, decentralized platforms embrace the anonymous capabilities of cryptocurrency transactions.

You can get game odds and place bets without revealing your identity, which essentially upholds your privacy and, ultimately, control over your data.

Global Accessibility

When betting on traditional platforms, geographical restrictions often arise. This is different from decentralized sports betting.

Whether you're in New Zealand, Ghana, or Canada, you can easily place your bets if you have internet access and a viable cryptocurrency wallet. This is a key advantage for gamblers residing in third-world countries or countries with strict data privacy laws like the USA and China.

Lower Costs

The intersection of sports betting and blockchain incurs lower transaction costs. In the centralized platforms, payments are processed through intermediaries or financial institutions, which require transaction fees. However, in the case of decentralized sports betting, the transactions are peer-to-peer, eliminating the necessity for a middleman. This results in lower costs and faster transactions.

Market Innovation

Decentralized sports betting holds the potential for an absolute transformational change in the industry's operations. With smart contracts automation, users can set their betting terms, and the payout will be automatically dispatched when the conditions are met. This eliminates any mistrust between parties, fostering an even more efficient betting process.

Greater Accountability and Regulation

Blockchain's innate features of immutability and transparency allow for easier regulatory oversight and greater accountability. Users, regulators, and operators all share equal visibility of the transactions. This reduces the risk of betting fraud, manipulation, or malpractice.

Regulatory bodies can investigate and regulate betting more efficiently without infringing on participants' privacy. This ensures a safer, more reliable betting environment, benefiting users and regulators.

Time to Try Decentralized Sports Betting

Decentralization presents a new phase in the development of the betting industry that democratizes and disintermediates the process, allowing for a higher level of privacy, security, and fairness. They can also reduce hefty transaction fees and delays in payout associated with traditional sportsbooks. However, these advantages must be balanced with potential risks such as legal ambiguity, technological complexity, and lack of regulations for user protection.

In the end, their seemingly insignificant parlay bet resulted in an astronomical payout, solidifying their status as a modern NHL betting legend.

One of the biggest NHL parlay wins of all time was in 2019 when a bettor placed a $100 parlay bet on 14 NHL games. The bettor was able to correctly predict the outcome of all 14 games, resulting in a massive payout of over $1.2 million. This incredible win undoubtedly showcases the massive potential for life-changing returns on NHL parlay bets, but it is important to remember that such wins are extremely rare and difficult to achieve.

Never forget that even a small difference in odds can significantly impact any potential payout.

The Thrill of Live Betting: Enhancing Your Sports Betting Experience

Live betting injects a surge of excitement into the world of sports wagering. Unlike traditional wagering, live betting unfolds in real-time, allowing punters to place bets as the game progresses. This dynamic form of betting that can be accessed in betway tanzania for Tanzanians adds an extra layer of thrill and offers unique opportunities to leverage your sports knowledge for potential profit.

Real-time action: The heart-pounding appeal of live betting

Live betting, with its real-time action, stands at the forefront of sports wagering for a reason. It transforms the spectator experience into an adrenaline-fueled adventure. Watching a game while simultaneously placing bets as the clock ticks down adds a level of intensity that captivates sports enthusiasts.

Moreover, every play, every turnover and every goal matters in the context of your wagers. It's an interactive journey where your instincts and sports knowledge are pivotal in shaping your strategy. This heart-pounding appeal is what makes live betting a favored choice for those seeking an electrifying sports wagering experience.

Instantaneous decisions: How live betting transforms strategies

Live betting revolutionizes wagering strategies by introducing an element of immediacy. Instead of placing bets before the game starts, you can now make split-second decisions based on the unfolding action. This dynamic approach requires sharp analytical skills and the ability to read the game's momentum.

For instance, if you're betting on a tennis match in a betting app like betway Tanzania, you can assess each serve, volley and rally before deciding where to place your bet. In football, you might observe changes in team dynamics and adjust your wagers accordingly. In-play wagers demand a nimble mind and quick decision-making, offering a thrilling challenge to seasoned bettors.

Interactive engagement: Engrossing aspects of live sports betting

Accordingly, live sports betting transforms the act of watching a game into an interactive engagement. It asks you to engage in the event rather than merely witness it actively. You can change your wagers to reflect the changing field dynamics as the game goes on.

Aside from that, live wager websites like betway Tanzania frequently include a number of services, including live streaming, real-time statistics, and in-game commentary. These tools provide valuable insights and enhance your overall engagement with the game. It's an immersive experience that brings you closer to the action, making live sports betting a fascinating endeavor for sports enthusiasts.

The live betting advantage: Turning sports enthusiasm into profit

Placing wagers via betway tanzania provides a unique advantage for those who are well-versed in the nuances of sports.

For instance, if you notice a team gaining momentum or a star player hitting their stride, you can seize the opportunity to place strategic bets. Additionally, playing in reliable platforms like betway Tanzania allows you to hedge your positions, minimizing potential losses or maximizing your gains as the game progresses. This strategic edge, combined with the thrill of real-time action, positions live betting as a powerful tool for turning sports enthusiasm into tangible profit.

The Most Exciting College Football Players to Watch in 2023

While it may not be as popular as the NFL, college football is still huge and draws in big numbers. In fact, it’s the country’s second favorite sports league, according to the viewing figures. The incredible atmosphere at the stadiums is part of the appeal of college football. However, it’s also great to watch because you could be seeing the next stars of the NFL.

The NCAAF has always been popular, but the last few years have seen a growing number of sports fans tuning in. That’s partly thanks to the excitement factor but also due to the increase in availability of football betting. Still, even without betting, many fans tune in throughout the season to see some of the most exciting athletic talents in the world. Here are a few of the biggest prospects for the 2023 season.

Brock Bowers

The Georgia Bulldogs are one of the biggest favorites of the 2023 season, and Brock Bowers is a big part of the reason why. The tight end already looks ready for the NFL and has helped his side win two consecutive National Championships. While the threepeat may be a big ask, he’ll likely be one of the key players if they achieve it. This season he’ll be working with a new quarterback, so it will be interesting to see how he adapts to this change.

Marvin Harrison Jr

Another player who could easily cut it in the NFL right now based on his skills is Marvin Harrison Jr. The Ohio State receiver was a huge presence in his team’s close loss against Georgia for the Peach Bowl with five catches, 106 yards, and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, his injury in the second half proved to be a deciding factor, but his talents were still clear to see. He’ll be one to watch this season, especially if he can help his team clinch the Championship.

Caleb Williams

Already likely to be the No.1 overall draft pick at the end of the season, Williams is probably one of the biggest prospects in the sport right now. The USC quarterback has just made history by giving Stanford their largest margin of defeat since 2006. He threw 300 yards and three touchdowns in the 56-10 victory, and fans will expect more of the same from last season’s Heisman Trophy winner. While his side lost Jordan Addison to the draft, they picked up three new receivers, including two highly-rated prospects who should help Williams shine.

Jamon Dumas-Johnson

While offensive players usually take all the praise from fans, Championships are won on defense. Jamon Dumas-Johnson is a player who really has an excellent understanding of the game. The Georgia Bulldogs linebacker is a joy to watch, with strong defending against both rushing and passing. He’s an integral part of the Bulldogs’ success, and it’s expected that he’ll shine once again this season as his team makes a deep run for the Championship. However, this is dependent on his return from injury.

Tyler Booker

Alabama Crimson Tide’s offensive lineman is one to watch for the new season, even if he might not be as big of a name as some of the others on this list. He earned the Freshman All-American award last year even while not always starting in his natural position. Many experts believe Tyler Booker to be one of the best offensive linemen in the NCAAF, with a lot of potential to go on to do great things. He’s in the ideal team, too, as the Crimson Tide are one of the favorites for this season.

Bengals vs Ravens Game Breakdown and Expectations

The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals are set to face off in Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season, taking the field in the Queen City on Sunday, September 17. While the playoffs may feel like a long way off before the season even begins, the two teams are expected to finish No. 2 and No. 1 respectively in the AFC North division this season: how this matchup turns out could play a pivotal role in which team stands victorious when the dust settles.
Here’s a look at how the two teams are expected to stack up this season, with storylines to keep an eye on before the game kicks off.

Sizing Up the Opposition: Ravens

After doing what they could to remedy the issues that have plagued them for much of superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson’s tenure, the Ravens could be an excellent dark horse threat to win the AFC North division this year. Now-departed offensive coordinator Greg Roman’s run-heavy scheme got stale in a hurry, and the front office’s failure to surround Jackson with competent receivers meant that the 2019 NFL MVP was forced to do far too much, putting the team on his back—and, all too often, his body on the line—as he tried to drag subpar rosters kicking and screaming to a playoff spot.

Following an offseason circus as the team signed Jackson to a long-term contract, they’ve done what they can to bolster the team around him. First, they brought in offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who helped guide the Georgia Bulldogs to back to back national championships and knows how to get the best out of star athletes with explosive chunk plays.

Next, they improved the weapons Jackson has to throw to, selecting wide receiver Zay Flowers in the first round of the draft and adding veteran standout Odell Beckham Jr. and streaky speedster Nelson Agholor to the mix as well.

On defense, they lost the big play ability of Marcus Peters (but added much needed consistency, as Peters’ penchant for interceptions came with a propensity for getting burned deep) but brought in Jadeveon Clowney on the defensive line. They also brought in consistent corners Rock Ya-Sin and Trayvon Mullen: after seeing their secondary get riddled with injuries for the past few seasons, the Ravens didn’t pull any punches boosting up the back end of their defense.

For the Ravens, what it all comes down to is preparation. There could be some growing pains as Monken gets the team used to his unique brand of offense—although he does what he can to make his scheme user friendly for his players—and if that’s what does end up happening, the Bengals could feast on a team that’s still trying to figure out how to play together.

That goes both ways, though, as Monken could make Cincy look silly if he reaches into his bag of tricks for plays the Bengals aren’t prepared for.

Sizing Up the Home Team: Bengals

Throughout the past month and change, the main storyline surrounding the Bengals dealt with the health of superstar quarterback Joe Burrow. The ice-cold signal caller missed most of training camp and all of the preseason with a calf injury, one that saw him get carted off the field when it occurred, causing a collective heart attack around the greater Cincinnati area.

At first it looked like the injury might cost him regular season games, but the fourth-year man out of LSU is reportedly full go in practice this week ahead of the Bengals’ Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Even so, you never like to hear that a star player is dealing with any type of injury. Burrow is as tough as they come, and one hopes that he’s given himself adequate time to heal. Former LSU teammate and current top target Ja’Marr Chase said that he wouldn’t mind if Burrow sits out the first month of the season, ensuring he’s fully healthy for the stretch run, but it would take an army to keep that quarterback from playing the game he loves.

Just as the Ravens’ Week 1 game against the Houston Texans will give a good preview of how the team fares under their new offensive coordinator, the Bengals’ matchup with the Browns will give us an excellent idea of just how Burrow is feeling, if he’s legitimately fully healthy or continuing to grit it out through the pain.

Who Ya Got?

Right now, the Bengals are listed as a 3.5 point favorite to win their matchup with the Ravens. Given that the home team usually gets a three point handicap by virtue of home field advantage, that shows you just how close of a matchup this is expected to be.

I’m not going to make any friends among the passionate Bengals’ fan base by saying this, but I’m giving the Ravens the advantage in this one. Preparation matters, and the fact of the matter is that the Bengals lost out on valuable practice and live reps with their No. 1 quarterback during all of the time that Burrow missed with injury. Cincinnati faces a much tougher opponent to open the season than Baltimore does, and an already-banged up Joe Burrow could have trouble bouncing back after getting chased around by all-world defensive end Myles Garrett all weekend long: the Ravens, on the other hand, can test out their new scheme and put it in cruise control against a dismal Texans team, keeping themselves high and dry as they prepare for the game against the Bengals.

After seeing Jackson serve as a one man wrecking crew on poorly constructed rosters for much of the past half decade, I’m excited to see what the phenomenal dual threat quarterback can do with a team and offense that compliments his abilities instead of relying on them. The Ravens are always going to be a nightmare to face under head coach John Harbaugh, and I think they’re an excellent chance to win the division this year with a revitalized team around Jackson.

Which NFL Quarterback Will Get Benched First?

One of the hottest topics of the early season is which quarterback will get benched first? In 2023, there are multiple quarterbacks that could get the early hook if they aren’t able to live up to their expectations. A number of the best sportsbooks have already posted odds on who’ll get benched first. Let’s take a look at the options and see which player might earn the dubious distinction.

Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Odds To Be Benched First: +200

It's not entirely fair to Baker Mayfield, but the odds are that he’ll be the first benched quarterback in the NFL this season. Mayfield is a journeyman that many believe doesn’t deserve to be a starter anymore considering his recent play. However, Tampa Bay doesn’t have a better option at the moment, and plan to start him in Week 1. If Tampa Bay isn’t able to start well and Mayfield doesn’t do anything early to make him untouchable, then it’s likely that he could be benched simply as a scapegoat. Regardless, he looks like the easy bet to make in this category.

Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans

Odds To Be Benched First: +600

Unfortunately, Ryan Tannehill is one bad game away from hitting the bench for the Tennessee Titans. Tannehill hasn’t exactly played out of the starting job, but the team is clearly looking to get younger at the position. They drafted Malik Willis last season and then snagged Will Levis in the second round of this year's draft. If the Titans aren’t competitive this season, fans will begin to call for Tannehill to get benched so that they can see what they have in the two younger backups. This wouldn’t be the first time that fans push for the younger quarterback option to hit the field over the veteran.

Jimmy Garoppolo, Las Vegas Raiders

Odds To Be Benched First: +1400

The veteran signal callers always seem to be on the hot seat, and Jimmy Garoppolo is no different. Garoppolo is heading down to play for the Las Vegas Raiders alongside Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs. While he should be able to keep them competitive, there’s no telling what direction this team intends to go. Young quarterback Aidan O’Connell played phenomenally during the preseason, so perhaps he entices the coaching staff to bench Garoppolo after a bad game to change things up. This is the same coaching staff that benched Derek Carr without hesitation last year, so a move like that could be possible.

Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Odds To Be Benched First: +1400

It’s incredibly hard to imagine Jordan Love getting benched this season, which is what makes him a huge longshot to be the first guy benched. However, we can’t deny the fact that he’s an unknown at the quarterback position. We’ve only seen him in limited doses oof NFL action since he’s come into the league, and there’s no telling how effective he’ll be out of the gates. The Green Bay Packers also might not be very patient with him, and multiple poor outings could force them to jump the gun on a change too early. Again, it seems unlikely, though stranger things have happened regarding the benching of young quarterbacks.
