Sports Betting and Money Management

Money man­age­ment is the most impor­tant con­sid­er­a­tion for any sports bet­tor. To be a suc­cess­ful sports bet­tor you need to know how to bet respon­si­bly ensur­ing that you do not bet more than you can afford to lose. One way to achieve this is to set aside an amount of money that becomes your bankroll for bet­ting, then stick to that amount win or lose. Many sports bet­tors will take their bankroll and then estab­lish ‘units’ which is the amount they will typ­i­cally bet on any given game. A bet­tor with a $1000 bankroll may have 20 units of $50. He will then bet... 

Interactive Sports Gambling into the 21st Century

The Inter­net has fash­ioned an entirely new method of con­duct­ing busi­ness on the part of the gam­bling indus­try.Inter­ac­tive sport gam­bling has ush­ered in a new and improved era of sports wager­ing. As Inter­net ser­vices become even more exact, we can antic­i­pate greater ser­vice from inter­ac­tive sports gam­bling venues on the Inter­net in the near future. I remem­ber each sum­mer after­noon back in the days when my base­ball heroes were Duke Snider, Rocky Colav­ito, Tommy Davis and Frank Robin­son, my friends and I would be play­ing stoop ball off my front... 

Gators Snap Up Victory Against Seminoles

In an emo­tional final home game, Tim Tebow ran for two scores and led top ranked Florida to vic­tory over rival Florida State 37–10. The out­come was no sur­prise and the Gators stay unbeaten going for­ward into next week’s SEC show­down against No. 2 Alabama. Florida has now extended their record for the nation’s longest win­ning streak to 22 games. This was the sec­ond loss in six games for the Semi­noles (6–6) and this may be a cur­tain call for long­time coach Bobby Bow­den and per­haps proof that the FSU faith­ful should con­tinue to urge him to retire. Tebow com­pleted... 

Iverson May Return to 76ers

You can’t keep a good man down. He retired from the Mem­phis Griz­zlies last week, but Allen Iver­son now hav­ing talks with his for­mer team, the Philadel­phia 76ers, about a pos­si­ble return. The 76ers are look­ing at Iver­son and other free-agent can­di­dates to replace injured point guard Lou Williams, pre­dicted to be out of action for eight weeks. Iver­son is def­i­nitely a crowd puller and the 76ers could find the answer to los­ing games and fill­ing seats by bring­ing back the10-time All-Star. Iver­son is def­i­nitely one of the best guards of his time who once... 

Tiger Is Not Out of the Woods

The world’s Press is hav­ing a field day as they spec­u­late over the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the car crash at the home of 33 year-old, pro-golfer, Tiger Woods. The only safe bet­ting is that the inci­dent is Tiger’s worst drive ever. What appeared to be a sim­ple car acci­dent is now becom­ing a media cir­cus as spec­u­la­tion mounts as to whether Woods’ was injured in the acci­dent or in a domes­tic dispute. Rumor has it that Woods’ alleged affair with 34-year-old event plan­ner Rachel Uchi­tel, caused him to back into a neigh­bors tree and a fire hydrant whilst...
