How to Bet podcast Super Bowl LVI extravaganza

HowToBet.com

What a year it has been in the National Football League, and for the How to Bet podcast. But neither are done for the season just yet: if you have not heard, there is still one game left in the 2021 NFL season. Super Bowl LVI will pit the Los Angeles Rams, playing at home in their brand new state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium, against the upstart Cincinnati Bengals and their ice cold quarterback Joe Burrow. While Sean “The Genius” Miller was on the Rams at the very start of the 2021 campaign (you can go back and look in the How to Bet archives here ), neither he, nor How to Bet co-host Daryl Fein, thought the 125-1 Bengals were going to do anything this season until very late. But that is what dreams are made of, right? The bettors that backed the Bengals to win the AFC are now richer, and if they took Cincinnati to win the Super Bowl, they could be in for a huge windfall. Miller has multiple stories posted this week in the lead up to the game Sunday, including the best way to bet prop bets, the game picks, and a story about where bettors can find the best Super Bowl LVI offers from sportsbooks through How to Bet. With so much information out there for this contest, it is more important than ever to make sure you are getting the best advice. “We went over the Caesars Sportsbook prop bet sheet before our final NFL shows of the season–which you can see Wednesday, by the way–and tried to pick out the best ones for bettors,” Miller said. “Of course, I always take tails on the coin toss before the game to try to get up a few bucks early. But obviously, you cannot bet 30-40 prop bets on this contest: you will end up losing money. “Much like the regular season, you have to target a few that you think are going to come in, and take them. I like a few of them tied to Rams’ WR Cooper Kupp: I just think he is unstoppable. As for the game, you are going to have to tune in to How to Bet to see which way I go in this intriguing contest.” With so many new states legalizing online sports betting over the last year, sportsbooks are expected to see over $8 billion wagered on the Super Bowl: a staggering number that bodes well for upcoming events like March Madness and the World Cup. That means you are going to be able to get bonuses galore, which is always good for bettors. As always, the How to Bet website has you covered, with a whole page filled with great promotions from various sportsbooks. “This is the time for new bettors, and ones looking for a new sportsbook, to clean up with the promotions and free offers,” Miller said. “Books always do this around big events: you will see it next month when March Madness tips off, and once again for the 2022 World Cup in November, among others. “Just look at some of the great value plays you get. Caesars has a 100 percent deposit match and a $1,500 risk-free first bet. FanDuel and DraftKings have similar offers: bet $5 on the Super Bowl and get up to $280 in free bets. PointsBet is giving bettors up to $2,000 in risk-free wagers. This is the time to get in on the bonuses, for doing something that you would be doing anyway: betting on games.” So while there is the return of the USFL to look forward to as a football fan very soon (April 16!), this will be the final NFL game until September 8. Will it be the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the Thursday Night Football opener and raising the championship banner, or will it be the Los Angeles Rams? Tune in to the How to Bet podcast to see who Fein and Miller pick as the Super Bowl LVI winner, then watch the big game on Sunday. And stay tuned to How to Bet, because there will be some exciting announcements in the very near future (hint: are you ready for some football, as in UEFA Champions League, and make sure you have your dancing shoes on for March!) About HowToBet.com HowToBet.com offers one of the world’s most comprehensive betting guides that can be accessed via a user-friendly web app. Its mission is to help make online betting safe, fun and as easy as performing a search on the web. There are already more than 400+ how-to guides freely available, all written by seasoned betting professionals.

Party Casino Reveals the Most Fascinating Abandoned Gaming Halls

Party Casino

Temporarily abandoned Fontainebleau casino in Las Vegas set to finally open in 2023 Vacant since 2009, the building echoes urban adventurer fascination in abandoned spaces Four still-standing but abandoned casinos profiled by online gaming site, Party Casino The tallest building in Nevada – the 76-storey Fontainebleau casino in Las Vegas – is set to finally open by the end of 2023, having sat vacant since its construction was halted in 2009. After the recession put a stop to construction of the $2.9 billion structure, it changed hands several times before being reacquired by Fontainebleau in February this year. While the enormous structure has hardly been abandoned since 2009 – interim owners pumped tens of millions into keeping the infrastructure in mint condition – the story of the Fontainebleau casino highlights the changing fortunes of the gambling industry and shows that, just sometimes, the house doesn’t win. Online Gaming company, Party Casino, has researched the most fascinating abandoned casinos from around the world for, while the Fontainebleau casino is now set to open after all, other establishments have not been so lucky in the hands they have been dealt. Casino di Consonno, Italy In the 1960s, the eccentric entrepreneur Count Mario Bagno bought the entire town of Consonno for 22.5 million lire (around £10,000) and razed it to the ground in order to build his brainchild, Citta dei Balocchi – the City of Toys. Designed to be a playground for the wealthy of nearby Milan, the City of Toys was supposed to include everything from a car racing circuit to football fields, a zoo and even a fake castle. The Casino di Consonno was one of the few elements that actually got built and enjoyed a short period of success until the mid-1970s. But the Count’s constantly changing plans meant the ‘city’ was never finished and he abandoned it in 1985. After his death in 1995, his estate shut the whole town and it has been slowly decaying ever since, with the casino the spooky centrepiece of an urban explorer’s dream site. Penthouse Adriatic Club Casino, Croatia Opened in 1972 at the Haludova Hotel, the brainchild of Penthouse founder Bob Guccioni who spent $45 million on the complex, the casino went bankrupt the following year and closed. The hotel fared little better, going through several ownerships; during the Yugoslav civil war, it was used to house refugees before being privatised in 1995 and hosting its final guests in 2001. Since then, it has lain dormant and decaying. Casino Constanta, Romania Casino Constanta, Romania – Built in 1910 on Romania’s Black Sea coast, this art nouveau palace featured two games rooms, reading rooms, a dance hall, theatre, restaurant and terrace with a sea view. During the First World War, it was used as a Red Cross hospital and during WWII, German troops were stationed there. It was renovated twice but ultimately closed in 1990 because of high operating costs. Since 2014, the building has been slowly crumbling, leaving it a dilapidated shell of its former self. Rhyolite Ghost Casino, USA Rhyolite Ghost Casino, USA – The Nevada town of Rhyolite was founded in 1905 and rose to prominence swiftly as a ‘gold rush’ mining town. However, its fortunes did not last long – the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and financial crash of 1907 quickly put paid to the settlement’s fortunes. By 1910, the mind was operating at a loss and, by 1920, population had dwindled to a handful. Since then, the town has been a tourist attraction and movie set. Now one of the most photographed ‘Wild West’ ghost towns, Rhyolite’s buildings are largely in ruins but the old train depot, now privately owned, was briefly converted into a casino and bar, as well as a small museum, but even that has lain derelict and broken down since the 1970s. Although the four highlighted sites still stand, albeit derelict, there have been many more casinos across the globe that were also abandoned and spent many years empty and decaying. Among the best-known of these were the fabulously ornate Bokor Palace casino in Cambodia – once the haunt of the French colonial elite; Asbury Park Casino on the Jersey shore in the USA which succumbed to eroding shorelines and urban development before being demolished. There have even been a couple of floating casinos that lay abandoned for years, including the New Orleans-themed Big Easy Casino Boat, which spent most of its short life unoccupied, being moved between various Florida ports. Meanwhile, the Jubilation Casino boat in Mississippi opened in 1995 and lasted just seven months before closing, before spending years being trashed and forgotten, ending its days listing sadly in the water. David Winter, marketing manager of Party Casino, said: “Abandoned buildings are often eerie, slightly foreboding, spaces but casinos hold a special fascination. That’s because these buildings were once filled with glamour, luxury, laughter and the thrill of the games. “The juxtaposition of what they once were compared with the dark, decaying, silent places they are now is such a stark one that it’s hard not to hear the echoes of the past when you see pictures of the ruined buildings.” Download images here Contact Details Intelligiants Ltd J Cain media@intelligiants.com

‘Finding Sandler’ To Premiere At Garden State Film Festival

Legitimate Rascal Films

Almost twenty-five years after a missed opportunity to hang out with his hero Adam Sandler, David Seth Cohen’s independent documentary ‘ Finding Sandler ’ has been selected to premiere at the 20th annual Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ on March 26, 2022 at the iconic venue Asbury Lanes. ‘Finding Sandler’ is Cohen’s quest to recapture what could have been. In 1998, while working on the smash hit "Big Daddy," Cohen passed up the chance to have a drink with Sandler, and after a vivid dream in 2006, decided to do something about it. Since then, Cohen has spent more than fifteen years trying to rewrite that moment with the comedic legend. Will the Sandman finally have that drink and give Cohen the closure he has been looking for? You'll have to see the film to find out. “It’s an honor to premiere ‘Finding Sandler’ at the Garden State Film Festival,” says Cohen. "Since I was a kid, I always wanted to make a movie, and this missed opportunity with Adam Sandler inspired me to do it. ‘Finding Sandler’ is a tribute to him and anyone following their dreams.” Inspired by Cohen’s mission, NYC rockers SKYFACTOR, whose music has been featured on MTV, NBC’s The Voice, and The Eric Andre Show, wrote and performed “ Hey Adam ”, the movie’s theme song which urges the A-lister to give Cohen a second chance. "We’re super excited to collaborate with David,” says SKYFACTOR lead vocalist Bob Ziegler. "His message of pursuing your dreams at any cost really resonated with us." To promote the film’s debut, the official trailer and music video for “Hey Adam,” also directed by Cohen - which includes additional clips from the movie - have just been released. The single is now available on all major streaming services including Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. “I am humbled that the largest film festival in New Jersey and one of the most highly regarded in the United States selected our film to be part of their festival,” adds Cohen.
