Now that the football season is approaching its end, or perhaps it would be better to call it a brief recess for nowadays it hardly ever stops, many football betters will be looking for alternative ways to achieve that very special adrenaline rush that only comes with sports betting.

Probably the most exciting sporting event to bet on this summer is cricket. With the Ashes coming to England this season we should expect some particularly exciting cricket and plenty of betting opportunities. The first match in the series starts on 14th July at the Lords Cricket Ground. Odds on an England win are 5/6, on an Australia win they are 13/5, and on a draw the odds are 5/2. Odds on England retaining the Ashes are 9/20, and on Australia winning then odds are 4/1. This is a back to back Ashes series so when the action draws to a close in the UK, it will soon start again in Australia.

If test match cricket is a little slow for you there is also plenty of twenty20 and one day cricket to bet on, and don’t forget the series against New Zealand; it is by far from a foresaid conclusion that England will win it.

The flat season is just getting going, and there will be some very heavy betting this year on the classics. Picking a Derby or an Oaks winner shouldn’t be too difficult and much more predictable than the Grand National.

If you are finding it difficult to decide on which sport to bet, then you can always log into your favourite online casino such as luckynuggetcasino for some sports orientated casino game action. There is a whole raft of sports orientated casino games; sports themed slots games are always a favourite amongst sports betting fans and there are hours of entertainment to be enjoyed for very little outlay, and there is even a chance of winning some serious lucre. Take for example the popular golf themed slots games of Lucky Shot and Argyle Open, which are targeted at golf fans and playable online at various online casino games providers.
