ALANIYA READIES FOR SATURN

Following promotion to the top flight of Russian football, subsequent to the financial fall of, FC Moskva, Alaniya Vladikavkaz has moved quickly to fortify their line-up in preparation to the start of the campaign against Saturn Moskovskaya Oblast on 13 March.


Vladikavkaz manager Vladimir Shevchuk has benefited the Vladikavkaz’s ties with CSKA Sofia with the signing of Bulgarian internationals Ivan Ivanov and Ivan Stoyanov.

Desperately in needing attacking vision to work with Serghei Dadu, Vladikavkaz signed twenty-seven year-old winger Ivan Stoyanov to a three-year contract. Vladimir Shevchuk’s side have additionally added the highly promising Ivan Ivanov. A prized centre-back, who at twenty-two has been capped five times by Bulgaria he committed to a four-year contract and will immediately shore up the backline.

KALACHEV RETURNED TO ROSTOV

Krylya Sovetov Belorus midfielder Timofey Kalachev decided to return to his former club Rostov.


"When I became a free agent, I signed a contract with Rostov immediately", said Kalachev. "I got other offers too, but now there is no sense in discussing them".

"Krylya Sovetov don’t deny their debts to players, but they have no money to pay off their debts".

"Last spring we felt the management’s support and their interest in the team, however their attitude changed at the end of the first half of the season. We began last year with seven victories, and after that something went wrong".

"Change of head coach is painful process, moreover we got used to Leonid Slutsky. However I cannot say that Gazzaev is worse, because I suppose that he has huge desire to work and he can get the team out of crisis".

SLUTSKY: WE WERE CLOSER TO VICTORY

CSKA head coach Leonid Slutsky is optimistic about the overall result of two-round battle against Sevilla.


"Of course we would like to achieve something more than 1:1 draw and we were closer to victory", Slutsky said. "This result is more useful for Sevilla, but we will fight in the return match".

"We have three weeks and we will hold two official games during this time – in the Super Cup and in the championship. Moreover I hope that Alan Dzagoev will be well fit for the match in Spain. I even believe that he will be able to help us against Rubin on March 7".

"The team looked well functionally and there was no replacement for the flank players, who are substituted more than others. And I didn’t see any sense in changing someone from other zones, since there were no problems there".

Pinnacle Sports Review

The lowest margins and the highest limits in the business. This is the undisputed best sportsbook for the professional player. Let’s take a look further with more details…

Country restrictions : U.S. residents not accepted

2. Customer Support

This seems one of their weakest points. Pinnacle Sports don’t offer live chat or phone support to its users, I can only assume that this is a money saving exercise. From my experience their email service support is very efficient and they are always very fast responding to emails.

3. Website design (lay out)

European based players may be find it a little bit strange if they already have experience with other European based sportsbooks, but it is a matter of time to get on it. The browsing is fast, and the betting selections menu is well organised.

4. Betting Information

Pinnacle allows 2 ways to place bets, Online interactive (min. bet $1) or phone betting (min. bet $100). And they currently offer 2 odds formats, Decimal (European style) and American (US style).

Pinnacle Sports currently accepts the following currencies: Austrian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Danish Krone, EURO, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen, Malaysian Ringgit, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Kroner, Pounds Sterling, Singapore Dollar, Swedish Krona, Thailand Baht, Taiwan dollar and US Dollar.

5. Disadvantages

I see 1 major disadvantage; It is mainly about reduced limit of offers in many leagues. They mostly offer Asian handicaps, goal lines, and money line, but very rarely special bets according to card, minute to score, etc … This isn’t a big disadvantage but would be nice if they could offer more specials bets especially in European basketball.

6. Reliability

Pinnacle Sports is based in the Netherlands Antilles in Curacao. Over the years I have not found any bad testimonials regarding their services, this is quite strange because most betting forums are have plenty of bad stories about bookies. Pinnacle is one of the most reliable bookies that you will find on the internet.

7. Odds Quality (Margins,Commissions)

Pinnacle Sports has the lowest margins and commissions in comparison to others online bookmakers. They have the best offers in most important soccer leagues, Premier League, Spanish Primera, Bundesliga and Serie A with just 4% margin. In others leagues and sports their odds are also usually the best on market. If you want to get best odds over the internet, you must have Pinnacle Sports in your bookmaker list.

     Overall Pinnacle Sports Rating : 9/10

6. Advantages-Disadvantages

Although WillHill doesn’t have too many disadvantages, they still could improve their offer on non-english markets. Looks like their attention is fully on UK markets and they certinly could improve when speaking about other european leagues, especially eastern europeans.

Their offer for European Basketball Leagues should also be imporoved, while their tennis offer improved a lot offering large number of special and very interesting bets. However, if your bets are based on UK market this is one of the must have bookies.

7. Reliability

One of the strongest points of William Hill. If we compare them with other bookies they are one of the most reliable on the internet. Founded in 1934 and have been listed on the London Stock Exchange (WMH.L) speaks a lot in their favour. Since 2002 they employ over 15,000 people in the UK, Ireland, Israel and Bulgaria.

Online sportsbook serves customers from over 175 countries, offering six languages and 11 currencies.

8. Odds quality (margins, commissions)

William HIll doesn’t offer the best margins over the net, but their odds are acceptable when speaking about major leagues. With their wide range of interesting special bets in football or tennis they are becoming one of the most have bookies. They do mistakes in rare cases when offering odds, but they dont change their odds frequently so this is one of the better things when speaking about odds quality.

        Overall William Hill Rating : 8/10

Unibet Review

The Largest Swedish owned bookmakers in Europe. Experts at Scandinavian market solid bookie with a respectable name. Let’s take a look further with more details…

1. Bookmaker Details

Company Name : Unibet Ltd

Current License : Malta
Languages : Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
Country restrictions : U.S. residents not accepted

2. Customer Support

Unibet don’t offer live chat option currently. There is only possible to contact them by phone call or sending an email. Speaking about their email service I should say they aren’t as fast as many others bookies. But I also should say than they have some most popular questions and answer than help a lot especially to beginners. You can also send them an email in your own language.

3. Website design (lay out)

Probably one the best layouts in the industry. Great graphics, fast loading, and most important, everything is so easy to find and check. You can make your bets ultra fast, the same applies for your combos/systems etc. Really nice and enjoyable to browse.

4. New Account Bonuses

Unibet currently offer a 100% bonus capped at £20. The bonus and deposit must be rolled over 6x before it can be withdrawn. Their new customer bonuses are little bit different from country to country.

5. Betting Information

Unibet currently only offer to watch decimal odds (European style). You can place the bet online interactive or also by phone.

Unibet accepts the following currencies: US Dollar, EURO, Pound Sterling, Norwegian Kroner, Danish Krone, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and Polish Zloty.

6. Advantages – Disanvantages

Unibet may do not offer the best odds in the market because they have medium-high commission in their markets, but their odds are well accepted in many cases. They don’t offer Asian handicap to a lot of football leagues, just 1×2 and European handicaps. Generally their offers aren’t usually the best comparing with others better European bookmakers.

Their limits are a bit low in lower leagues, when they are sometimes scared because they know than their odd makers aren’t as good to beat punters and they have to only offer very low limits trying to not lose so much in their odd maker’s mistakes. To the big leagues there is no problem with limits. You can bet a good amount of cash. It would be also nice if they can offer more specials in basketball, points players, rebounds, assists, etc … They only offer quite few when there are big competitions running like Final Four in Euroleague.

7. Reliability

Unibet is based in Malta. They are one of the newest companies in the market and they are quite famous mainly in Nordic countries. I should say that they have an excellent reputation from the net and it s hard to find costumers than they had serious problems with them. In my opinion in a bookie that everybody should have in his bookmarker list to always be able to get the best odd as possible, because using only 1 bookmaker it s more difficult to get always the best odd.

8. Odds Quality (margins, commissions)

Unibet has average margins comparing with rest of the European bookies. Talking about football, their odds are quite good, sometimes the best available, especially to the Nordic leagues offers. About other sports, they are famous by their low margins, because sometimes they even offer in basketball games @1,85 @1,85, that gives really few chances to the customer to beat them. But there is special chances when they do mistakes.

         Unibet Rating : 8/10
