Another Online Casino Signs With English Premier League
While the NFL whines that legal gambling may cause the public to doubt its product, the most popular sports league in the world, the English Premier League, allowed yet another club to link itself to an online casino. Sportingbet announced this week it will become the online betting partner for Portsmouth.The NFL continues to argue in the most disingenuous spirit that only a fraction of its fans engage in sports betting, and that gambling could irreparably harm its teams. Meanwhile, Portsmouth will permit Sportingbet to post odds and online betting services on the team's website, as well as conduct gambling operations and advertising in the team stadium.
"Sportingbet.com is Europe’s leading online bookmaker and we are delighted to be working with them," stated a Portsmouth spokesman. "Sportingbet.com has a world-class portfolio of online gambling and gaming products and will provide our fans with a fantastic selection of special bets."
Sportingbet officials released information that soccer accounts for 65 percent of its sports betting business, with over 42 million plays on soccer coming from around the world each year.
The NFL may have the arrogant stance that it runs the dominant sports league in the world, but the Premier League crushes the US football association in number of fans and even team values, with Manchester United being the most valuable team in any sport in the world.
