Online Sports Betting – Money Management The Key To Success

Webmaster — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:43:59 +0000

It is somewhat disturbing the way that nearly every sports betting player I encounter jumps right in to the action immediately and plays the majority of their bets based on knowledge alone without even taking in to consideration what will happen if they lose. It seems as though they feel in the beginning as if because they understand the game they know what is guaranteed to happen in it, but that is the biggest mistake they can possibly make. No matter how much a player knows about a sport or a matchup, there is no guarantee that they will win. That is why money management is the most important part of betting on any sport, as it ensures a profit will be made regardless of whether or not every Betonline wager comes through.

When starting out, if you are serious about making a profit in the long run, then make sure that you keep a record of the wagers you play. This makes sense not only to keep track of where you are at, but also to make sure that you don’t lose more than you win. It is important to establish a bankroll in the beginning and never risk more than you can afford, and once you start to win then you can bring in a positive progression system or another to ensure that you never get below the minimum line that you have established. Losses will happen along the way, but there will always be another good pay head bookie line or bet that you can make in the coming days, so it makes sense to be conservative and pick your spots if you are serious about making a profit.

MLB Betting – Doubleheader Baseball The Perfect Opportunity To Progress

Webmaster — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:53:53 +0000

One of the most disliked aspect of the MLB, according to both players and managers, is the days that they have to play the doubleheaders. It really isn’t that big of a surprise, considering that managers have to do twice the work of what they would do on a regular day while the players are the ones that actually have to go out on the field and execute. Not even the fans like doubleheaders, at least in terms of those willing to go out and watch the games, as attendance on average usually dips for these games. But while the players, managers, and fans can’t seem to stand the doubleheaders, they could quickly become a friend of the sports betting player looking for a big score.

The nature of a doubleheader makes it the perfect chase opportunity, which is when you bet on a team to win in a progressive fashion, increasing the amount you lay down or pulling away depending on the results. For example, if you were to lay down o $25 on the New York Yankees to win a game, and they do, then you have now won $25. However if you lose, then according to the theory of progressive gambling you will then place $50 on the next game the Yankees play with the chance to win that game and make a profit of $35 on top of winning back the money that you initially lost. The pay head bookies won’t have the lines that much different for the two games, and with the statistical history of those games favoring a split, there is a better chance to win with progressive betting on the doubleheader.

College Football Betting – Defense Could Ultimately Make Difference In Fiesta Bowl

Webmaster — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 01:07:49 +0000

While they won’t be fighting for a BCS Championship this season, the No. 3 Oklahoma State Cowboys could at least add some leverage to the sports betting debate that they deserved a shot if they can make a statement against the No. 4 Stanford Cardinal in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The Cowboys dropped a crucial game at Iowa State in double overtime that tainted a nearly perfect season, and a huge win over the Oklahoma Sooners in the Big 12 Championship game wasn’t enough to earn them redemption. However, as they prepare to make the trip to Arizona to take on Stanford, they will get one last chance to prove their merit in front of a national audience as the pay head favorites going in to the game.

For as well as Stanford played this season with quarterback Andrew Luck considered among the Heisman trophy favorites for most of the year, the Cowboys were the better team, with the offensive duo of quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackmon ranking among the top tandems in the nation. Weeden actually threw for 34 touchdowns this season, one fewer than Luck’s total of 35, and he threw for over 1,000 more yards. Both teams have incredible offensive firepower, but in the end this game could come down to defense. The Cardinal front-seven was widely regarded as one of the best in college football but really struggled against the Oregon Ducks in their only loss, while the Cowboys’ defense made a statement in a 44-10 win over the Sooners. This NCAA football contest is widely expected to be an offensive shootout, but in the end the better defense could make the difference in the final result.

NFL Betting – Ravens Look To Avoid Trap As They Visit Browns

Webmaster — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:45:57 +0000

When the Baltimore Ravens arrive in Ohio to play the Cleveland Browns this weekend, they will be strong favorites to emerge victorious and maintain their perfect record against AFC North opponents this season. However, there has to be caution for a Ravens’ team that has suffered some serious hiccups already this sports betting season, with two of their three losses that come against teams with sub-.500 records.

Baltimore Ravens (-6.5) @ Cleveland Browns

Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

Despite their overall struggles and the tough time that they have had within their division, the Browns have clinched four pay head wins this season, including three victories in six home games. Cleveland has struggled to stop the run all year, but they do have the best ranking against the pass, and the Ravens cannot afford to approach this game tentatively. Winning in this league comes down to not only beating the best, but having the focus and determination to play with urgency in the games that you are expected to win, and that is an area that Baltimore has struggled in so far. Look for running back Ray Rice to get a ton of carries, and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron to dial up some play-action passes to give Joe Flacco a little more time to go over the top. Flacco has struggled to live up to heavy expectations so far this NFL season, but if Baltimore is going to go deep they will need more from their franchise quarterback.

NFL Betting Pick: Baltimore Ravens – 6.5

NFL Betting – Lions Look To Bounce Back Against Visiting Panthers

Webmaster — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:41:09 +0000

The city of Detroit already understands that when it comes to success, it is about being there at the end a lot more than it is about getting a head start. Now the city hopes that its beloved Lions can come together and rally during the second half of the regular season to finish what they started when they won five straight games to open the year. Despite losing three of their past four, Detroit is still right there in the NFC playoff picture, but if they are going to have any chance at reaching this sports betting postseason the turnaround has to start now as they get set to host the Carolina Panthers.

Carolina Panthers @ Detroit Lions (-7)

Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

While the Panthers won’t contend for an NFL playoff spot this season, rookie quarterback Cam Newton and company have already proven they can win games in this league, including a 33-20 drubbing of the Washington Redskins just a couple of weeks ago. Carolina has had a hard time stopping anyone this season, but they have done an excellent job of moving the ball on offense as they rank 8^th in the NFL both in terms of rushing and passing yards. Detroit will need to find a way to at least contain Newton, and their own talented offense will need to overcome the rest.The Lions have an extremely tough schedule coming up with games against the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers and at the New Orleans Saints, and they cannot afford to overlook this betonline contest.

NFL Betting Pick: Detroit Lions – 7

NFL Betting û Bills Host Jets With Perfect Home Record, Division On The Line

Webmaster — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:48:53 +0000

It is week nine of the NFL regular season, and while both the New England Patriots and New York Jets are in contention for the NFC East crown, they are not alone as the Buffalo Bills have climbed in to a tie for first as one of the surprise teamÆs this season. With five wins through their first seven games and the tiebreak between them and the Patriots after they knocked off their division rivals earlier in the season, the Bills welcome New York to town looking to keep their perfect home record intact and prove once again that they deserve to be considered a legitimate sports betting contender.

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills (-1.5)

Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Bills are 4-0 at home this NFL season, and while the Jets have registered consecutive wins they are still 0-3 as the visiting team, including losses at the Oakland Raiders, Patriots, and Baltimore Ravens. While the defense has once again looked strong defending the pass, there have been too many holes against the run and New York ranked 25th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed with an average of 126.9 against per game. That plays to the strengths of a Buffalo team that has averaged 140.6 yards on the ground this season for the fifth-best mark with running back Fred Jackson leading the way with an average of 5.5 with six touchdowns. Jackson will again get a lot of touches this weekend, and just like the BillsÆ opportune defense he will need to come up big once again if Buffalo is going to extend its perfect pay head run at Orchard Park.

NFL Betting Pick: Buffalo Bills 1.5

NFL Betting – Primetime Favorites Are Locks For Week Seven

Webmaster — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:05:08 +0000

It seems as though every sports betting week there has been at least one favorite that spoils the sports betting party for everyone, and while for most that team has been the San Francisco 49ers in each of the past two weeks, they can stay clear of that slap in the back this week if they keep an eye on the primetime games for week seven. The New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens could very well represent their conferences in the Super Bowl this season, but for now both teams will concentrate on sending a message against inferior opponents as they prepare to show the NFL world what they can do.

The Saints are at home on Sunday night to host the winless Indianapolis Colts, which haven’t been this awful since they actually played in New Orleans. Curtis Painter is a far stretch from Peyton Manning, and without the key pieces to make up for his loss there are no signs that the Colts’ winless skid will come to an end anytime soon. While New Orleans should dominate that game at home as they look to bounce back from a pay head loss to the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers and recover sole possession of first place in the NFC South, the Ravens should have no problem on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Monday Night Football has been pretty lopsided over the past couple of weeks with the New York Jets’ dominant win over the Miami Dolphins the latest in the ongoing saga, which Baltimore’s defense should be able to ensure continues this week against rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert and the Jaguars.

UFC Betting – Edgar Hoping Third Time Is The Charm Against Maynard At UFC 136

Webmaster — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:54:09 +0000

All the pay per head instances where UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar has been asked whether or not the third time will be the charm in his rivalry with No. 1 contender Gray Maynard may be enough to inspire him to finally get his first win in this ongoing saga. Maynard is the man responsible for the only blemish on Edgar’s resume, a unanimous decision loss back in April of 2008 under the UFC banner. When the two fought with the title on the line back on New Years Day 2011, the judges ruled the contest a draw, meaning that although Edgar had failed again to beat Maynard, he would retain his championship belt. That sportsbook reviews bout was recognized with Fight of the Night honors, and now, months later, the two men get set to once again step into the octagon against one another.

The fact that Edgar still received the winner money for their draw had to sting for Maynard, who is 1-0-1 against the current UFC Lightweight champion in his career. When “Lose My Mind” plays over the grand speakers at the Toyota Center in Houston this Saturday night, there is a good sports betting chance that the challenger may very well lose his mind in terms of bringing the fight to Edgar. Both of their tilts have gone to the judges decision, but perhaps the third time around Maynard will make sure that nothing is left to chance as he gets another title shot, and put away Edgar to become the new UFC Lightweight champion.

NFL Week 5 Picks: NFC Surprises

Webmaster — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:20:55 +0000

The betting sites have been blind-sided by NFC surprises this season including the prolific passing of rookie Carolina quarterback Cam Newton and the struggles of the 0-4 Minnesota Vikings. In week five, there promises to be more surprises that will make the battle for supremacy in the NFC that much more interesting.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ San Francisco 49ers (-2 ½)

The scary thing about the San Francisco 49ers is that it has not yet figured out how to get the running game going. Once the 49ers figure out how to get running back Frank Gore some more room to run, the per head win count will climb in San Francisco. The Bucs are a good team, but it will not be able to contain the San Francisco pass rush in this game.

Pick: San Francisco 49ers

Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions (-5 ½)

The Bears make way too many bad decisions and mistakes late in a game to hold off the persistent Detroit Lions. The Lions have made a habit of keeping NFL fans on the edge of their seats and winning games late in the fourth quarter. The bad Chicago play in the fourth quarter, coupled by Detroit’s fourth quarter heroics, will decide this game.

Pick: Detroit Lions

New Orleans Saints (-6 ½) @ Carolina Panthers

The Saints’ defense cannot stop the Panthers’ offense. It is strange to read that, but it is true. Rookie quarterback Cam Newton is a phenom that is racking up the yards. This will be a shoot-out between Newton and Drew Brees that will find the Saints coming up short.

Pick: Carolina Panthers

NFL Betting – NFC East Still Deep, But Injuries Could Be Concern Week One

Webmaster — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 01:10:06 +0000

The NFC East has long been one of the most complete divisions in football, and heading in to this NFL betting lines season, that won’t change. The Philadelphia Eagles have already been labeled the “Dream Team” after making a huge splash in free agency, but they will be pressured by a division where everyone franchise thinks that they can contend.

Philadelphia Eagles @ St. Louis Rams

Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

The Eagles will have a ton of sports betting pressure on them this season, and it won’t be easy to live up to expectations out of the gate. Philadelphia’s secondary is loaded, but they do have question marks up front. St. Louis is expected to take another step forward this year in Sam Bradford’s second season, but it likely will have to wait until after week one.

NFL Betting Pick: Philadelphia Eagles – 4.5

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins

Sunday, 4:15 PM ET

The Giants have a ton of talent, but they also have a ton of injuries. Washington won’t surprise anyone this season, but they do have some good pieces in place. It is hard to bet against New York in this situation considering that they have won the last five on the road against the Redskins, but with so many injuries on the defensive side of the ball and at wide receiver, you don’t need to go fishing to find a reason to pick Washington as the underdog team that will win this week.

NFL Betting Pick: Washington Redskins +3
