Euro 2016 Qualifiers And More Top Tips For UK Punters And Bettors

Once again, it’s a big weekend for punters and bettors across the UK with a whole host of promotions, casino games, new poker software and some fantastic sporting events to bet on. Let’s take a look at this weekend’s highlights in a bit more detail.

Casino offers – ladies and men are both in luck

If you are looking for a promotion with a difference then why not check out our fantastic LadyLuck Casino Gibraltar Blackjack Tournament promotion, which is running throughout the month of October at the casino.

As you can probably guess by the name of the tournament, this is a blackjack-based promotion and the prize is the chance to earn a seat at the fantastic and lucrative Gibraltar Blackjack Tournament, which will take place on the 14^th November 2015.

The final takes place aboard the superb Sunborn Yacht Hotel and visitors will not just be wined and dined as part of the experience, but also given a special tour of Gibraltar from the boat.

For four weeks in October (starting on the 2^nd) players in LadyLucks will compete by playing Blackjack during the week. At the end of each week, the player that has amassed the most net cash during the week will earn a seat in the Grand Final.

There are four qualifying weeks (starting on the 2^nd, 9^th, 16^th and 23^rd of October respectively).

Good news for players who may have a bit of spare cash to play with is that if you are not one of the four lucky weekly winners to earn yourself a paid seat in the tournament, then you can buy the full package for the tournament for a total price of £1250. Alternatively, you can buy into the tournament and sort out your own accommodation and transport for as little as £250.

There is a top prize of £5,000 for the winner of the tournament, with a second prize of £2,500 and prizes also of £1,500 and £1,000 for the third and fourth placed finalists.

So why not see if you can be a blackjack master and earn yourself a spot at one of the best Blackjack tournaments in Europe this November courtesy of LadyLucks Casino.

Poker promotions – plus a brand new Bet365 client

It’s not so much a poker promotion this week that we are bringing you news of, but rather a poker revolution! Or perhaps that should be evolution as Bet365 already had a very solid poker client software in operation already, but as of now, customers can enjoy the brand new Bet365 Poker Client and what an improvement it is over the original.

The new download is available direct from the Bet365 website and it installs over your existing Bet365 Poker client software and you access it in exactly the same way as you did previously.

Like the old client, the new software also allows you access to the full range of Bet365 Poker games, such as Twister Poker, Speed Poker, Sit and Go’s, Cash Table Games and Multi Table Tournaments, however that is where the similarities between the two different clients ends.

Once loaded up, you will notice that everything on the new client software is much sharper. The colours are better defined and the graphics are of a much higher quality than on the older client. Animations are sharper and the whole thing looks and feels much more polished.

The biggest difference between the two clients is in how the data is presented. This time, the games are located beyond tabs at the top of the page and it is simply a case of clicking on the relevant tab for the section you want in order to select which type of game you play.

For example, clicking on the Twister Poker action brings up all the different Twister Poker games available, you can select which game you want to play and then how many of that game you want to play in your session.

The actual play at the tables has also been upgraded. The table is now a darker shade of green which is easier on the eye and the speed of the gameplay has also been improved. The graphics are also much sharper and give the game a more professional feel.

If you have not already tried out the new Bet365 Poker client then you should definitely give the new software a try this week and explore the myriad of different forms of poker you can play from it with Bet365.

Sports betting specials worth a look-see

As always, it’s going to be a bumper sporting weekend and week ahead and you can enjoy the best of it with SkyBet and Bet365 Sport, sister sites of our popular Sky Poker and Bet365 Poker sites.

Starting today (Thursday) is six days of Euro 2016 qualification action which will bring the curtain down on qualifying for next summer’s finals in France. Five teams have already confirmed their place at the finals next summer, hosts France plus England, Austria, Iceland and the Czech Republic.

Over the next six days 15 more teams will confirm their places directly in the finals, the top two teams in each group plus the best third place position team qualify automatically, while the eight other teams from the groups that finish in third place will face off in one two-legged playoff for one of the remaining four places available.

There’s some huge teams fighting for their lives including Croatia, Norway, Bulgaria, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Turkey, Ukraine, Slovakia, Slovenia and perhaps most surprisingly of all, the Netherlands. The two games most of these teams face in the next few days will determine whether they qualify outright, earn a playoff spot or miss out altogether.

There’s plenty of great betting across all these games, both ante post and In Play to enjoy on both the sites but that is not all that will dominate the betting markets this weekend.

Dont’ forget too that Dublin is the scene for the PDC World Grand Prix darts championship and already it has proven to be a tournament packed with shocks.

Only Michael van Gerwen out of the world’s top seven has made it through to the last eight, with Ian White (seeded 8^th) the next highest player through to the quarter finals. Will the Dutchman win it as the bookies expect, or will a real outsider land the title?

With betting available on tonight’s quarter finals, Friday’s semi’s and the final on Saturday, there’s plenty of top quality darts action to enjoy over the next few days too.
