With the English Premier (EPL) League about to start on Saturday, VC Bet (Victor Chandler) has started betting on which one of the Big Four teams will have the worst disciplinary record. VC Bet’s spokesperson Neal Wilkins said, “For the last three seasons the disciplinary record of Chelsea has been by far the worst. In fact in the last EPL Campaign they were the worst offenders with six red cards.”

He added, “The Chelsea team record may improve this year with a new manager and a new set of rules. We suspect that the race for the worst record will be much closer this season.”

Arsenal ended their last campaign with 3 players being sent off and 54 yellow cards with Manchester United close behind with 2 players being sent off the pitch and 51 yellow cards. The fourth team, Liverpool, has maintained a good record in the last two seasons with just one player being sent off.

VC Bet spokesperson went on to say, “The question now to be asked is whether Chelsea can keep their record sheets better and keep out of trouble. The team has started to get a bad reputation.”

Manchester United is priced at 5:2 but they have to overcome a tricky fortnight in the middle of September when they have to travel to both Anfield and Stamford Bridge. Liverpool is priced at 13:2 and traditionally finds it difficult to avoid defeat at the start of the season

A 27-year-old Spaniard, Jose Miguel Espinar, has won the PokerStars.net Latin America Poker Tour (LAPT). Espinar defeated 350 other players to take home the title including Costa Rican poker star Alex Brenes heads-up to take. Espinar took home the $241,735 top prize while Brenes walked away with $126,625.

Espinar, a former central heating salesman, has had a brilliant start to his poker career after he won $24,000 at the PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure only one month after he began playing. He reached the final table on Sunday after he beat Team PokerStars.net professional player Vanessa Rousso who finished in tenth place. Espinar said, “I was lucky at the beginning but the five hours’ heads-up match against Alex was tough.”

The critical time in the match for the winner came when he went all-in with ace-ten but Brenes called with ace-nine and a nine on the flop looked good enough to oust the Spaniard. However, a ten on the turn put Espinar ahead and Brenes was left with only 40,000 before going out at the next hand.

The sponsors of the tournament revealed that nearly a third of the players at the tournament were from Brazil with more than 60 from the Unites States, largely represented by online qualifiers. Twenty-seven players from Uruguay also took part in the $2,500 buy-in No Limit Texas hold ‘em tournament, which was held at the Manta Resort Hotel in La Barra just outside the centre of Punta Del Este.
