    • ]]>     eGaming Review reports claim that one of most trusted online bookmakers Stan James has recovered from a long four month decline and has become the third most popular bookie on odds comparison site Oddschecker during September.

    Rivals, William Hill and Paddy Power, were removed from their previous third and fourth positions in the rankings.

    Oddschecker’s commercial manager mentioned: “The big mover this month was Stan James, which jumped up to third place from fifth last month. A particularly strong performance on Ayr Gold Cup day plus their traditional strength on golf throughout the month was enough to edge them ahead in the race for third.”

    Nevertheless, Betfair and Bet365 continue to hold top two spots in the rating. Top 5 most visited online bookmakers according to Oddschecker site are shown below.

    1. Betfair
    2. Bet365
    3. Stan James
    4. William Hill
    5. Paddy Power

    • ]]>     Betfair, the world’s biggest online betting community, signed a two-year sponsorship agreement with 2009 Champions League winners FC Barcelona.

    It makes the UK-based betting exchange, where football fans bet against each other, the official betting partner of the Catalan giants.

    • ]]>     English Manchester United has partnered with Betfair in a deal that will greatly benefit both parties.

    As a result, the relationship between one of top Premier League teams and Betfred has been severed and Betfair moves in as the club’s next official sponsor.

    As dictated in the terms of the deal, Betfair will make the Manchester United logo part of their marketing efforts, along with perimeter board signage.

    The partnership has also resulted in the formation of betfairfootball.com, a website that will feature content from club players.

    The two parties will also work together on the ‘Betfair Goal Challenge’, which will introduce United members Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov to a goal competition for this season.

    The betting group is currently associated with the England & Wales Cricket Board and previously acted as Fulham’s 2003 shirt sponsor.

    • ]]>     Some of top online bookmakers suspended betting on a tennis match involving Spain’s Oscar Hernandez and Austria’s Daniel Köllerer on Monday.

    Both players were priced as 5-6 joint-favourites, but bookmakers saw a surge of money just before the start for Hernandez that pushed his price in to 1-5 favourite. Hernandez won 6-3, 6-2.

    William Hill and Ladbrokes stopped trading this match after they noticed “unusual” money. Unibet and Expekt mentioned they stopped taking bets before or early in the match. Betfair noticed the same trend, but did not stop trading.

    The tennis authorities have already launched an investigation into this match.
