Kansas City Chiefs 2009 Odds Grim

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Just when a lot of people thought that the Kansas City Chiefs would have an impact in 2009, their newly acquired quarterback, former New England stud Matt Cassel has gone down with an injury. 

Cassel was seen to have limped off the field in Saturday night’s 14-10 loss against Seattle, after he was sacked on the third play.

Cassel is one in a series of Kansas City Chiefs players who have suffered injuries in recent days, thus depleting their odds.

Brandon Flowers and Devard Darling are both out with injuries.  The UNDER 6 ½ regular season games won in 2009 remains the early favorite.

Greek gambling tax hike imminent

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

The Greek daily newspaper Ethnos reports that effective September 21st 2009 the government will be implementing a 10% tax on gambling winnings.

The news report reveals that a decision by the Ministry of Economy and Finances cancels the non-taxable threshold, which has been in force up to now, despite the strong opposition of gambling companies.

A 10% tax is levied on all winnings, upwards from €1, in respect of lottery, gambling games and stakes.

There will also be a 20% tax levied on all winnings larger than €1,000 won by any contest participant.
