A Brazilian second-tier game saw Rivaldo and son, Rivaldinho scoring both. Like fathers, like sons. The World Cup winner contributed to all of Mogi Mirim’s goals. Rivaldo is also club president there. He decided to come out from a short retirement recently to help his team.

Rivaldo set up the assist before his son’s header with a key pass in the third minute. Then he scored from a penalty, before his son registered the third. Many of those who follow sports scores might remember famous father and son moments. There was Briand and Nigel Clough, Cesare and Paolo Maldini, but none of them played together.

The 17-year-old Eidur Gudjohnsen replaced his father, Arnor, 34 then, in an Iceland international game in 1996. They weren’t together on the pitch though like Rivaldo and son. Ian Bowyer and his son, Gary represented Hereford United together in the 1989-1990 season. The same goes for Alec Herd and his son, David, who played together for Stockport County in the 1950s.

The Rivaldo moment that many gambling blog readers recall first, would be his overhead kick for Barcelona. Then maybe his brace against Denmark at the FIFA 1998 World Cup. Only until the Mogi Mirim match, where Rivaldo and son, Rivaldinho scored both in the Brazilian Serie B.

Rivaldo played for Mogi Mirim in the early nineties, before making himself a name in Europe. Now he is trying to help them as club president, and after a short retirement, once again as a player.

Formula One must be really boring now. Not just for spectators, but for drivers as well. Lewis Hamilton is so fed up with things for example, that he started to criticize… the trophies. Not the lack of competition, the artificial overtaking process or the quiet and not very intimidating cars, but he slapped those who provide the actual pieces representing Grand Prix wins on the podium.

He wants quality pieces, preferably made of gold, okay, who doesn’t, but it is somehow ridiculous if you hear a driver complaining about baubles. Especially if that particular driver is a two-time world champion, who won his first British Grand Prix in 2008 in pouring rain…

The Guardian: Lewis Hamilton: British Grand Prix gives me the biggest buzz

Two-time British world champion driver Lewis Hamilton is the number one favourite to win the 2015 British Grand Prix. He won four out of eight races this year and in the build up to this year’s event, he recalled the 2008 Silverstone race, where he was able to pull out a victory in his second season.

“My favourite British Grand Prix is still that win in the rain,” he said. “I qualified fourth but then the heavens opened and I knew that it was my day. I got a great start and I just followed the lines that I took from my experience of Formula Renault days. It was a great race and everybody was standing every single time I went through Abbey, in the pouring rain with umbrellas up. That was a really special time. I won by 68 seconds.”

Seven years passed since Hamilton’s first championship-winning season, Formula One is considered to be in decline, but Mercedes’ British driver is the number one personality in the business, according to British followers of sports scores. Without him, the stands of the former military airport probably wouldn’t be packed this weekend, but he is a guarantee for high spectator numbers.

Lewis Hamilton has won so many trophies in his Formula One career that he became an expert on the quality of the awards. No joke, and it wasn’t posted on a brand new gambling blog started by Hamilton either, this is really about those pieces the drivers get on the podium.
Hamilton prefers gold, though it turned out that he will be racing at Silverstone for another plastic bauble this weekend, after online gambling news revealed the trophy of this year’s British Grand Prix. Hamilton revealed that he was so annoyed by its cheapness that he took the point to Bernie Ecclestone, the owner of the commercial rights of F1.

Hamilton said, “We just need to make better trophies – it’s shocking how bad the trophies are.The trophies are as good as… at go kart level, it was really bad.” He went on to add, “Formula Renault was just little boxes with a car in the middle. Formula Three was good, and at the beginning of my Formula One career the trophies were really good. But now they are just terrible man. They are so bad. I told Bernie and he got the trophy guy in the room and I just said, ‘you know’.”

BBC.com: Nic Hamilton: From computer games with Lewis to racing history

While Lewis Hamilton was on the racing track all the time to pursue his dreams about becoming a Formula One world champion, his younger brother, Nic, who has cerebral palsy, spent virtually three years in his bedroom to do something similar in the virtual world.

Nic Hamilton became so good at computer racing games, that after a while Lewis didn’t have any chance against him, though the latter had the occasion to try a few professional simulators during his career.

Though Nic’s condition makes it difficult to walk and also causes pain for him and tied him to a wheelchair for the majority of his childhood, he was so good at simulators, that he had the opportunity to become a real racing driver.

At 23 he became the first disabled driver in the history of the British Touring Car Championship last weekend, gambling news report. “I became UK online champion in 2009”, he expressed “And it got to a point that when I was playing against Lewis I was always faster than him.”

He added, “Some people might call it sad, but for me it was a form of motorsport and actually the thing that started my whole career. That’s how it became real – basically it was his idea saying: ‘You need to get in a real car.”

Andy Murray is in great form ahead of the 2015 Wimbledon championship, and he is tipped by many to reclaim the title this year after he succeeded two years ago. In 2013 he became the first British player to win the men’s single competition in 77 years, and fellow Briton Tim Henman thinks that 2015 could be the Scot’s year again. Murray, who was seeded third and could meet with top seed Novak Djokovic or second seed Roger Federer in the semifinal, lives in a stable relationship, which, unlike in the previous decades, now is almost a must for tennis players who want to compete for the biggest trophies.

SkySports.com: Andy Murray can win Wimbledon, says Tim Henman

Tim Henman expressed that Andy Murray, who enjoys the form of his life, has a considerable chance to win his second Wimbledon title two years after his first success in London. Henman, who was ranked number four in the ATP list in the past, fancies his fellow Brit to win the tournament after Murray went all the way to the semi-finals of the French Open and won his fourth Queen’s Club title.

Henman said, “This first six months of the year is as good as I’ve ever seen Murray play. He’s in the form of his life and is definitely in the best shape to fight for the Wimbledon title again. He’s won everything before on grass, so he will really fancy his chances.”

Followers of sports scores might remember that in 2013 Murray became the first British man who won in Wimbledon in 77 years. He already enjoyed a great clay season with titles in Munich and Madrid, and according to Henman, he could be able to capitalize on the momentum he gained.

BBC.com: Wimbledon 2015: Andy Murray seeded third; Rafael Nadal 10th

2013 British Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has been seeded third before this year’s tournament, with two-time Spanish Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal dropped back to 10th. The low position of Nadal means that he could play against a top player as early as the round of 16.

The first seed obviously went to world number one Novak Djokovic, who is the defending champion and who also won the Roland Garros last month. Roger Federer, who won seven times in Wimbledon, has been seeded second. According to the draw, either of them could meet Andy Murray in the semifinal, online gambling news report.

Keen followers of live sports results might know that grass court performances had extra weight when the men’s seeding was done. This meant that Milos Raonic, who went all the way to the semifinals last year, was seeded ahead of David Ferrer, otherwise the seeding regarding the top eight reflects the current world ranking.

The Telegraph: Wimbledon 2015: Andy Murray’s domestic bliss provides bedrock for success on court

With the age of tennis playboys has long been passed, a stable relationship is considered as a significant contributor to the achievements of tennis players. Andy Murray is one of them, who acted like a real macho sportsman when he was younger, but became more modest during the years of his relationship with Kim Sears.

He expressed that “Marriage works,” after his title win in Madrid recently and he is expected to carry on playing in Wimbledon with his wedding ring tied to his shoe. On the contrary, as senior gambling blog readers might know, former Romanian Grand Slam winner Ilie Nastase claimed that during the time he ruled the court, he chased women like Casanova.

A 2007 study, that examined players in the top 100 of the ATP ranking between 1995 and 2005, found that married players performed far worse in the first year after their wedding than in the year before. The reason behind this is that the men’s competitiveness weakened as husbands. However, this all changed in the past decade, most notably with Roger Federer, who beat Pete Sampras’ Grand Slam record as a fresh husband.

The laws that cover gambling in India are a bit particular. Most forms of gambling are actually illegal on a federal level. The Public Gambling Act of 1867 clearly states that the running or visiting a public gaming house is punishable by modest fines or prison terms.The states of Goa and Sikkim, however, allow casinos on their territories. However, despite these strict laws, people always find ways to beat the system, as is the case with the illegal gambling rig in upscale Gurgaon that was recently discovered by the police.

He did say however that there was never any loud music or other nuisances, even if there were cars all night and lots of women.

Deepak Saharan of the DCP (East), praised the police force for their efforts in catching the casino in full action. He proclaimed that although other illegal casinos have been raided in the past, it was never in such an upscale neighborhood. By late Sunday, all 43 persons had been released on bail, by the duty magistrate.

An equivalent of $33,000 from the gambling den operation was seized during the raids. The case was registered at the DLF City Phase-2 police station, accusing the 43 detainees as breaching the gambling and excise acts, on Sunday morning.

The policemen carried out a search in the establishment which yielded a live ‘dice joint’ in full swing, on the ground floor. The 5.6 square meter house had its casino designed by a professional, from Nepal.

The house owner was a Mr. Rajender Yadav. Yadav rented it to one Mr. Naresh Malhotra. Malhotra dabbled in shares and stock market. He had been operating the illegal casino, in breach of the very stringent Indian gambling laws for over a month.

The hallways, akin to high stakes casinos of Nepal and Goa, and poker tables, were housed in the basement. Chic high rollers placed bets, using chips of various denominations ranging from 1000 to 25000.

Ramesh Pal of the ACP (DLF) said they were tipped off by a suspicious resident who said he thought there was a possibility that for the past 30 days a casino was being operated out of a neighboring rented house.

Malhotra had two partners and they were using the building as a guest house too for their patrons. They had hired five women from Kathmandu, Nepal, who had five years’ experience each, in working in casinos.

The entry fee was a mere $1.7 5 (1 lakh) and more than 100 patrons walked through those doors every day, police revealed. Pal also said that the businessman placed bets in Indian currency. When the police arrived on the scene, 6 people were placing bets and 2 staff members played the role of token dealers.

The vacant plot next to the building made it possible for cars to park there. The casino was opened between 10 at night and 5 in the morning. An illegal bar was being tended in the basement and the police confiscated 100 bottles of IMFL.

The police impounded tokens worth over $214,431. 10 Nepalese, in all, had been employed at the gambling den. The businessmen provided them with shelter, food and a salary, Pal continued.

One of the neighbors, Vinod Bansal said that as far as he knew, the building was being used as a guest house prior to recent renovations and a notable amount of people, coming and going. He did say however that there was never any loud music or other nuisances, even if there were cars all night and lots of women.

Deepak Saharan of the DCP (East), praised the police force for their efforts in catching the casino in full action. He proclaimed that although other illegal casinos have been raided in the past, it was never in such an upscale neighborhood. By late Sunday, all 43 persons had been released on bail, by the duty magistrate.
