LAS VEGAS, Nev. Zach Collins Red Jersey . - A race for a gold medal could bring lots of green for gamblers in Nevada if state officials approve requests from sports books and a casino owner to allow wagering on Olympic events.The Nevada Gaming Control Board is hosting a workshop Thursday to consider the proposal. A final decision is expected in late February.Along with the Olympics, sports books want a change in the law that could allow bets on nonsporting events such as the Academy Awards, the most valuable player in Major League Baseball, or even American Idol.The state currently bars casinos from accepting wagers on events such as the Oscars in which the outcome is known before it is officially disclosed.Olympic betting has been frowned on because the most prestigious sporting event in the world involved amateur athletes and, in some cases, decisions made by judges. But that thinking is changing as more professional athletes compete.International sports books in Great Britain and Ireland, and offshore Internet sites already allow such bets. Nevada casinos want to do the same.Anytime you can increase the amount of betting options to customers is a good thing, said Jason Simbol, vice-president of risk management for CG Technology, which operates sports books at The Cosmopolitan, Hard Rock Hotel, Tropicana, Venetian and Palms casinos.The changes in Nevada regulations were requested by South Point casino owner Gaughan South LLC and Las Vegas-area sports books.The South Point proposal pointed to the dream team of U.S. professional basketball players in the 1990s as an indication that more pros are competing for Olympic gold.What about Olympic events that require a judges subjective score?South Point officials said such events would be no different than wagering on a boxing match or Ultimate Fighting Championship fight in which winners can sometimes be determined by judges.I think the time was right, A.G. Burnett, chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, said about the proposals to expand betting.Ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the Nevada board announced it had signed an agreement with the International Olympic Committee to share information on Olympic betting allowed elsewhere as a way to protect against illegal wagering activity.Burnett said that has paved the way for Nevada to consider Olympic betting.Regulators have gotten similar requests in the past. One sports book wanted to allow bets on basketball, soccer and tennis during the 2012 Olympics in London but the proposal was denied, said Karl Bennison, chief of the gambling boards enforcement division.Last year, regulators approved wagers for Horse of the Year but requests involving other possible wagers were rejected because there was no way to provide the state with verifiable results.

Gasquet next plays third-seeded Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, who won had 18 aces in a 6-2, 6-4 win against seventh-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France.

"Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case, it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami.The Los Angeles Kings overwhelmed the Anaheim Ducks in Game Seven earning a berth in the Western Conference Final; notes on Justin Williams, Marian Gaborik, John Gibson, Teemu Selanne and more. KINGS TAKE FREEWAY SERIES The Los Angeles Kings stormed the Anaheim Ducks early in Game Seven, building a 3-0 first-period lead on their way to a 6-2 decision, earning the Kings a rematch with the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Final. The Kings were led by a roster of players that have already had playoff, and Game Seven, success. None more than Kings RW Justin Williams, who scored the opening goal on the power play and added an assist; it was Williams sixth goal in six career Game Sevens. Joining Williams with a 6-0 career record in Game Sevens, Kings LW Marian Gaborik, who had a goal and an assist. Gaborik was a dominant performer in the series, scoring six goals and four assists in seven games. Gaborik leads the playoffs with nine goals and, since arriving in a trade from Columbus, hes put up 14 goald and 17 assists in 32 (regular season plus playoff) games. In addition to Williams and Gaborik, the Kings got big performances from Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. Richards, also 6-0 in Game Sevens, had three points in 13 playoff games entering Fridays game and had been demoted to the fourth line, but he had a goal and an assist in the deciding game. Richards old Philadelphia running mate, Jeff Carter, also contributed a goal and an assist, in addition to having the Kings best puck possession stats for the game. A couple more Kings had multi-point games, which can happen in a 6-2 romp: C Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist to run his playoff-leading point total to 19 points in 14 games and LW Kyle Clifford, who had one assist in his first 11 playoff games, chipped in a pair of assists in Game Seven. As the Kings pulled away from the Ducks, they chased Ducks G John&nnbsp;Gibson from the net, scoring four goals on 18 shots in 22:02. Zach Collins Jersey. Gibson had stopped 88 of 93 shots in three games, giving the Ducks a chance to win the series, but the 20-year-old was overwhelmed. It wasnt that he let in terrible goals; the Ducks were getting dominated and Gibson couldnt turn back the Kings attack. The game marked the swan song for Ducks RW Teemu Selanne, the 43-year-old winger who ranked 11th in league history with 684 career goals. Ducks C Ryan Getzlaf had a valiant effort in defeat, with one assist and 13 shot attempts but the Ducks were chasing the game all night. Getzlaf led the Ducks with 15 points in the playoffs, ahead of RW Corey Perry (11) and C Nick Bonino (eight). The Ducks season was marked by a fortunate shooting percentage, leading the league at 9.8% during 5-on-5 play, and thats the kind of thing that doesnt tend to sustain year-over-year, but the Ducks have a roster that is still poised to be competitive going forward. They have a lot of young players on the way up, including goaltenders Gibson and Frederik Andersen and defencemen Cam Fowler, Hampus Lindholm and Sami Vatanen. Many of their forwards, aside from Getzlaf and Perry, are in their early-to-mid-20s, so they may be able to improve enough to at least somewhat offset the likely statistical regression. The Kings meeting the Blackhawks in the Western Conference Final pits the leagues top two puck possession teams against each other and that ought to make for a competitive series; more competitive than last year when the Blackhawks ousted the Kings in five games. The question is, looking ahead, will the team that manages to run the Western Conference gauntlet have anything left for the Stanley Cup Final?
