Afternoon all!
The weekend is almost here! I'm here to bring you another roundup of the upcoming sporting and casino action at Cloudbet!
Let's kick things off with some domestic soccer action...
FA Cup FinalThis weekend English giants Manchester City face Watford in the FA Cup final!
Watford have defied critics and performed above expectations this season, finishing mid table in the EPL and reaching the finals of the world's oldest national cup competition - qualification for European football next season is still within the Hornets grasp.
Man City are clear favourites for the win (1.23) but with our new low minimum stakes of just 0.0000001 BTC, a bet on the Watford underdogs at (13.5) could prove profitable given the recent upsets we've seen across Europe recently.
⚽ Total Goals: Over 3 (1.86)
⚽ Watford FC +2.0 (1.76)
⚽ Aguero to score (1.74)
⚽ Both Teams to Score: Yes (2.17)FA Cup TrophyOn Sunday two titans of the National league go head-to-head in the FA Trophy final!
Leyton Orient are looking to cap off a superb season and do 'the double' after winning the National league outright and gaining promotion to League 2.
AFC Fylde narrowly missed out on promotion into League 2 last week, losing to Salford City 3-0 in the playoff finals after finishing 5th in the League.
Orient are currently slight favourites (2.19) but have been known to 'choke' in the past when it comes to big games and cup competitions (full disclosure - I'm a long suffering Orient fan!) so a bet on Fylde could have some value (2.81).
Orient's defence also have a habit of conceding goals on the way to victory, finding themselves having to fight back from 2 goal deficits on numerous occasions in the latter part of the season. Stats point towards a high scoring game, especially given 2/3 of the leagues top scorers will be on the pitch - Rowe scored 27 for Fylde while Bonne netted 23 times for Orient so far this season.
⚽ Leyton Orient -0.5 (2.19)
⚽ Total Goals: Over 2.5 (1.94)NBA PlayoffsAcross the pond action is heating up in the NBA playoffs, with four teams left battling for the two NBA final slots!
In the Eastern conference finals the Milwaukee Bucks lead the Toronto Raptors 1-0 ahead of tonight's game. The Bucks look strong and dominated the Raptors in their first game, so it will be up to Leonard and Lowry to lift the Raptors team and tie the series.
🏀Milwaukee Bucks -8.0 (2.25)
🏀Total points: Under 216 (1.97)
🏀Winning Margin 6-10 pts: Milwaukee Bucks (3.97)Meanwhile in the Western conference the Golden State Warriors have a 2-0 lead over the Portland Trail Blazers in their playoff series. GSW have looked unstoppable this season, but the Blazers have surprised many with their performance this year. The last game came down to a small 3pt margin, so expect another tight game. Look to the player props and point spreads for the most value.
🏀Portland Trail Blazers -2.0 (1.89)
🏀Golden State Warriors +2.0 (2.00)
🏀Winning Margin 1-5 pts: Portland Trail Blazers (5.07) Golden State Warriors (5.43)
🏀Total points: Over 220 (1.85)Over in our bitcoin casino we are celebrating #BeAMillionaire day!

Check out our in-depth look into
Stablecoins, as requested by

What do you think? Are stablecoins going to feature as a large part of crypto's future, or are they just another fad and not a 'true' cryptocurrency?
Stay tuned for more articles requested by our competition winners soon!
That's all from me, so have a great weekend, and enjoy all the sportsbook and casino action!
