Eagles vs. Rams: Predictions, betting odds and broadcast info for Week 15
After losing to the Cowboys last week, it seemed like the Eagles' 2018 season had hit its low point. Oh, how wrong we were. See, on Tuesday morning, the Eagles still had a chance at sneaking into the playoffs as a wild card. But by the time Friday morning had arrived, the realization that Carson Wentz's season may be prematurely over once again had begun to sink in. And while the Birds' playoff hopes — at least on paper — remain alive, it's hard to envision Nick Foles leading another improbably postseason run. After all, lightning rarely strikes twice.Still, the Eagles march on to face their next opponent, the mighty Rams, who currently lead the NFC West at 11-2.

By David Downey | [email protected] | The Press-EnterprisePUBLISHED: December 14, 2018 at 2:36 pm | UPDATED: December 14, 2018 at 4:11 pm A long-anticipated off-track horse race venue is expected to open in Norco around New Year’s Day, now that it has a license from the California Horse Racing Board. The Derby Room still needs a liquor license, said Casey Zolnier, one of the owners, but that should come in the next week or two. “We should be open right around the first, but we don’t have a set date yet,” Zolnier said. “New Year’s Day would be a safe bet.” Horse Racing Board spokesman Mike Marten said the board voted 4-0 Thursday, Dec. 13, in Los Alamitos to give Lake Elsinore-based California Horse Racing and Sports, LLC the green light to operate a “mini-satellite wagering facility.” Zolnier and his partners are poised to open The Derby Room quickly because they have completed a $500,000 renovation of … [Read more...] about The Derby Room horse-race betting venue gets license, plans to open January in Norco
Market report: GVC rallies as investors bet on vote to save the company £676m
GVC’s strongest surge in three years pushed it to the top of the FTSE 100 risers’ board as investors put bets on the gambling giant ahead of a vote in Parliament that will save it £676m. While MPs are expected to slash the maximum stake on fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBT) to just £2 early next week, GVC will avoid paying hundreds of millions to Ladbrokes Coral shareholders if the legislation is approved. GVC’s swoop on its rival was finalised before the Government decided to cut the stake on the “crack cocaine” of gambling. Ladbrokes investors were given “contingent value rights”, which would be valued on the final FOBT decision. However, GVC will pay nothing extra to the shareholders if the...

Since then, we’ve seen this number balloon up to 11.5 across the screen and it will likely grow larger. It’s as high as 12.5 in some houses. If you’re looking to bet the Birds, I would wait, because the number could rise even more.
