Below is the hours of research I have dedicated to helping to clean up the directory I apologize in advance if some of the sites brought up are not 100% objectionable for deletion but I just wanted to be on the safe side to ensure only high quality sites that are updated are included in the directory:

http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Resources/Statistics/
http://btnsports.com/ - Site no longer updated

http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Sports/Tipping_and_Handicapping/Basketball/

http://www.collegebasketballpicks.com - Improper coding look at bottom overlap and not updated since 2007
http://www.razbet.com/ - Last updated in 2006

http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Sports/Tipping_and_Handicapping

http://www.bigtexsports.com/bigtexsports/stats.htm - Not 100% about this one but it was last updated in 2001 homepage last touched in 2003, something just seems fishy about this entry and it has sponsored spam links and asks the visitors to click on links to support them.
http://www.expertbettingadvice.co.uk/ - Should be in thoroughbred horse racing
http://www.gjupdate.com/ - Not one of the top bar links is working
http://www.kelsosturgeon.com/ - Is a redirect
http://lasvegasoddsandscores.com/ - links to dead links errors on pages and not updated in a long time at least december of 2006 = http://web.archive.org/web/20061220100547/http://www.lasvegasoddsandscores.com/
http://www.proinfosports.com/ - web 1.0 low quality site with their phone number listed on the site being incorrect (don't know if this is insignificant)
http://www.southgambler.com/ - No longer active site has been updated since at least February of 2001
http://www.sportslynx.com/ - not really active and moderated (look at spam forum posts)
http://www.tipshop.com/ - Undergoing maintenance (keep an eye on)


http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Sports/
Phoenix sports listed here and in tipping category (duplicate listing)

(didnt finish this category yet but would be glad to if asked to do so)

Also I would love to have been an editor and hopefully have shown my dedication to cleaning up this category by all the work shown below but have been denied editor status is this perhaps because I help run a sports site: <url removed>? Also I know that the site has been applied for admission is there anything quality or content that it is lacking to make it into the directory?

Macau...

I see a few issues that may need to be addressed.

1. In http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Macao/News_and_Media/ - Macau Blog and Business News redirects to http://a2zmacau.com/

2. http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Macao/Arts_and_Entertainment/Photography/ - Ken Tam Photography - e STUDIO , this seems to be based in HK, wouldn;t it be better there? Plus all the CAPS.

3. http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Macao/Business_and_Economy/ - Namkwong Group seems to have no English, I mean shoudnt' it be there?

4. http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Macao/Business_and_Economy/ - World Bank Country Data: Macau - Goes to a general site.

There are undoubtedly others.
