The Bundesliga suspended the season in mid-March because of coronavirus concerns but they already have plans in place to return.

The German Football League (DFL) made plans for the Bundesliga to resume this month. The games would have to take place behind closed doors and there would be regular testing of players and strict hygiene measures.

Can anyone challenge Bayern Munich? I like Borussia Dortmund's chances. This team won back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012 but since then, they have finished second four times, all behind seven-straight champions Bayern Munich.

Details: Created: Sunday, 03 May 2020 07:14

State regulators posted Michigan sports betting draft rules regarding the use of official league data. The proposed regulations gave sportsbooks a way to challenge the official league data requirement.

According to the state sports betting law, in-play bets require the use of official league data. However, the draft rules offer a way for operators who are unsatisfied with the mandate. By default, sports betting companies can only use approved information source for Tier 2 sports wagers.

A sports governing body based in the US can notify state regulators of the use of their official league data. Also, providers of league data need to apply for a supplier license from the state. Sportsbook operators have 60 days to swift towards the official league data after the request notification.

The NBA Could Return By May

NBA Could return soon The NBA was the first professional sports league in the US to suspend its games and, subsequently, its season. Rudy Gobert, center for Utah Jazz, was confirmed to have the Coronavirus, with other players following suit. This prompted officials to suspend the league until the situation is better- and safer. But according to NBA insiders, the NBA could return by May, but the experience will be different from what we are used to.

A lot of people have been successful in their efforts to open a pay per head casino to compensate for the loss of income due to the lack of sports games. After all, basketball is not the only sport that is on pause- the NHL is suspended as well, and the MLB is delaying its opening.

But as much as safety is the prime consideration in suspending leagues across the world, another concern is the danger this poses to the economy, as well as the employment and well-being of those who work in the sports and sports betting industry. Now, a careful balance between the two will have to be considered.

It was third and ten from Eastern Michigan’s 40-yard line. Pittsburgh’s defense pressured Glass to throw the ball carelessly as he ducked from a hit. However, he snapped when he rose and punched Pittsburgh’s Cam Bright.

A couple of seconds later, Paris Ford confronted Glass to defend his teammate. As a result, Glass threw another punch that grazed the face of one of the referees. The ref went down, but it seemed like he was okay after, according to sportsbook pay per head reviews and news reports.
