We are too blinded by free bets or deposit bonus offered to open an account at new bookies, when we should focus more on the long run and bet with online sportsbooks that takes smallest margin, offer us big limits and therefor are best solution for punter’s profit in the long run.

For easier understanding – just how much money you’re living by betting at bookies that take maybe only 1% bigger margin, let’s do a simple calculation.

Example:

NBA bet

average odd: 1.91 (European Odd) or -110 (US odd) represent 4.5% margin

How is this margin calculated ?

Easy.

Let say you bet on a NBA game and you place a wager on a handicap bet.

You have 2 possible outcomes – either team A covers handicap or team B covers handicap.

Both handicap bets have 50% chance to win.

Since odd for 50% chance to win should be 100/50 = @2.0 this means if you bet $100 on both handicap bets, you placed total on both bets $200.

Since 1 bet won, you should get your money back.

$100 wager x @2.0 = $200

But in real life bookies aren’t so generous cause they also want to make profit.

And this is why no bookie will give you @2.0 on both bets with 50% chance to win.

This is why you see usually odd @1.91 on such bets like NBA handicap and total bets on a same game.

And now back to how we calculate bookie’s margin.

We bet $100 on both NBA handicap bets @1.91

So we placed on both bets 2x $100 = $200.

1 bet won and bookie paid out $100 x @1.91 = $191

Total bookie’s profit = $200 – $191 = $9

Total money that bookie accepted = 2x $100 = $200

Bookie’s margin = (total bookie’s profit) / (total money that bookie accepted) = $9 / $200 = 0,045 = 4.5%

More practical formula to calculate bookie’s margin in % is

(2.0 – bookie’s European odd on a bet with 50% chance) x 50

If we want to bet at bookie that has 1% lower margin then we should get odd on a bet with 50% chance to win @1.93

This means that a difference in punter’s profit is 0.02 x punter’s stake – if he bets at bookie that gives him @1.93 (taking 3.5% margin), compared to betting at bookie that gives him @1.91 (taking 4.5% margin).

If we’d bet $100 @1.91 then we’d make $91.

But if we’d place the same bet at online bookie that gives us @1.93 then we’d make $93.

At $100 bet difference in punter’s profit is $2.

Or making this number independent of how much we wager, then this

difference is ($93-$91)/$91 = 2.2%

And this number is crucial to understand how much money punter’s leaving by betting at online bookie with higher margin.

You can easily calculate how much more money you’d get with bookie that has only 1% lower margin.

If you made $10,000 at bookie with 4.5% margin then you’d make 2.2% more or $220 more if you’d place same bets with bookie that takes only 3.5% margin.

And this $220 that you get more by choosing different bookie is not tied to any rollover requirement or condition that you have to have your money on bookie’s account for next 30 days.

Now, I hope you understand a bit more, how much you’re actually losing in the long run by going for fast pleasure of getting $50 free bet or instant 10% deposit bonus, instead of going for the long run and getting 2.2% more with every bet at bookie with only 1% lower margin.

Because is combines two big pop culture situations, sports betting has become big business. Whether it is an office pool at the local Catholic parish or a seedy downtown club, here are a few important tips that can h help you as you venture out into the sports bettering world.

For one, trends mean very little. When it comes to a sporting event, each one acts independently. So when it comes time to place your bets, don’t look at trend. You can look at other factors, but remember just to pay attention to what is going on now.

Next, don’t be scared by underdogs. When a team has lower odds, it does not mean anything to your chances. In many cases, you will even get the opportunity to take advantage of higher points spreads for the underdog. In fact, if you get the chance, keep an eye on how often the underdog covers when there is a large point spread. Many times the favorite gets a big lead, in whatever sport, and pulls starters in order to rest them. This results in a small comeback by the underdog and thus a cover of the spread.

Another tip is to take advantage by betting on the big cards. This means that the bookmaker will be forced to make a line. Your best bet from there is to look for small schools which often get the best lines. Since the bookkeeper will likely know less about the small school, it is a great option for getting a good line and a chance at winning.

Avoid teasers and parlays. These are simply ways of making some more money for the casino or sports book. In the end they are too hard to win so you are better off with your individual picks with which you are both familiar. These are almost impossible to hit unless you are just absolutely positive, and if that were possible then don’t you think everyone would be making their living betting on sports?

The best way to help yourself is to watch the line and when it moves find out why. Also know injuries, schedules, and the overall makeup of the team you are betting on. Lines move, but knowing why will help you make decisions on where to place your money.

Sports betting can be very exciting since you likely think you have some ability in picking the spread. So in order to do well in it, whether at a Catholic school or the local bar, it is important to know the best tips you can use to get the information you use. Follow some of the tips above and manage your bets well and you will be on your way to enjoying sports betting.

There are so many horse racing systems on the Internet today. Each system offers its own set of features, services, and limitations at the same time. If you want to make your horse racing bets online, you have to take note of certain characteristics in these betting systems to make sure that it’s the best one for you.

Real-time Race Results

Answer these questions: does your system provide results immediately after each horse race? Can the software application link with other websites that offer up-to-date results and tips? Simply put, a system that provides real-time results, figures, statistics, reports, and news will result into very accurate horse handicaps and predictions. The software application should also alert you of important events as they happen.

Top-Dollar Statistical Treatment

As you all know, much of the work in horse handicapping and horse racing systems is analyzing the horse’s numbers from past races. This involves rigorous statistical computations and treatments. It’d be a great idea to check if your horse racing system is equipped with the latest statistical algorithms to treat and test your horse racing results. A system worth its salt should be able to use stat formulas as Brohamer Pace Ratings, Bris, and TSN. It is also a big plus if your software application works well with database programs such as Microsoft Excel. This way, you can turn horse racing results into easy-to-read spreadsheets for your own personal consumption.

Easy Handicap Testing

Now, you might want to compare your own manual horse handicaps with those of your system’s to see if your own work is good enough. This should be a requisite for all horse racing systems. It should be able to test the reliability of your handicaps based on your own parameters. When your software application tests and validates your own horse handicaps, it will make you feel better about your own handicapping methods.

A Free Trial Period

Free trial periods are important because it lets you test the software application for a limited time to see if it works or not. Also, free trial periods ensure that you won’t be wasting your money on crappy software. Some horse racing systems offer free trial periods with money-back guarantees. This means that you can test the system through paper bets. And if it doesn’t make you happy, you will get your money back. When a money-back offer is available, it gives you an idea that your business, time, and satisfaction is being valued.

Regular punters like you should really set high expectations on your horse racing systems because you are investing your hard-earned money on it. An efficient system can result in instant profits, while a mediocre one could mean huge losses to your betting bank. Read the many software reviews available and ask the opinions of the professionals. Don’t be easily influenced by the persuasion tactics of some horse racing websites. Make sure that you are able to set the best applications apart from the worse ones before you take the plunge.

The first step to annihilating your competition on the green felt is developing an understanding of pot odds and how they should impact your betting behaviors. Despite having a college degree I am brutal at math, but the nice thing about calculating pot odds is that you don’t have to be a genius. If you are a genius, you probably should be trying to cure cancer or AIDS – so quit reading this article and go do some research.

Most new Texas Hold Em players fail to recognize the importance of betting in-line with what their pot odds are. Good for us, bad for them. Let’s take a minute or two to go over some simple poker terminology that will help us better understand this concept.

Pot – All of the money on the table (in the middle, blinds, bets)

Outs – Number of cards in the deck that will make your hand a winner.

For me, it’s easiest to walk through examples in order to understand a new concept. So let’s go through one:

Let’s say that we were dealt – Ac 3c

The flop is laid down and it is – 2c Jd 5c

This is the point where we need to start calculating how many outs we have. If a club comes up on the board that would give us an ace high flush. If a 4 comes up we would have a straight, and if an Ace hits we would have top pair. So we’ve worked through our options, now let’s figure out how many outs we have.

There are 9 clubs left in the deck + 3 Aces + 4 Fours for a total of 16 outs. As far as we are concerned there are 47 cards left in play. So right now our odds of winning the hand are 16 out of 47. If we divide 16 by 47 and then multiply by 100, that will give us a percentage of 34%. A simpler way of looking at it is how many times does 16 go into 47, roughly 3 times or a ratio of 3:1.

Now we need to figure out how we are going to apply this knowledge to proceed with betting. If the blinds are 5$/l0$, the pot is 50$, and the amount and the bet to you is $10 – that is a 5:1 ratio (20%). Given that, we should definitely call or throw out a small raise.

Let’s assume that we are last to act and we call. Next is the turn and 3h comes up.

So not only do we have a pair, it also gave us a couple more outs. Our outs are now:

9 clubs left in the deck + 3 Aces + 4 Fours + 2 Threes for a total of 18 outs. If we divide 18 goes into 46 2.5 times for a ratio of 2.5 to 1 (39%). This means that we should call or bet as long as the pot size is more than 2.5 times the size of the call or bet you make. So if the pot is $100 and the bet is $20 to you, that is 5:1 ratio and we should call or raise.

So how do pot odds help us from losing our chips and winning bigger pots? Let’s start by figuring out how pot odds help us from losing a lot of chips. In the previous example we had pot odds of 2.5:1 (39%) with a $100 pot on the table. Let’s say the bet was $50 to us or 2:1. Since those odds are worse than our odds of winning, we would be over betting our hand and in a position to lose more than we would get for our money.

Now for killing the competition dead, it’s better than just regular killing them by the way. Using the same example of 2.5:1 pot odds and a $100 pot. If the bet to us is $10 and we just decide to call, we are essentially getting a deal because we are calling a 10:1 ratio when actually our odds of winning the pot are better than that. But we actually can afford to raise, and it makes sense to raise according to our odds. Since the bet is $10 we could still raise the pot up to $39 and be betting in accordance to our probability of winning the hand. Pot odds allow us to make large bets with confidence knowing that we are playing probabilities. So we raise to $35, that puts the heat on the other player. Chances are if you are playing somewhere like Poker4Ever and Party Poker where the competition is weaker, you will get a call and hopefully hit your card. If someone was limping in with $10 chances are they are fishing for one or two cards, where we have 18 cards that can help us.

Being able to increase bets when you have many outs or fold when the action is raised too high will allow you to minimize bad beats and give you chip leverage to take large pots when you hit your hand. The take home message is that the less outs you have the bigger the pot needs to be to play. I’ve demonstrated how to calculate and use pot odds to help you make smarter bets. Now get out there, start practicing, and who no mercy. Good Luck!

Sports betting has been a popular form of gambling for decades, and thanks to the Internet you can now participate in this fun form of entertainment, no matter where in the world you live. However, the overall concept can be confusing to the newcomer – especially when you start reading about odds, points and overlays and other unusual terms. It is a good idea if you are new to sports betting that you get some understanding of how the overall sports betting structure works.

What is sports betting?

Sports betting is where you place money with an online or offline sports book. When you decide on which games you want to bet money on, your sports bookie will let you know what odds are applicable on each team (or in some cases individual players such as in the PGA). The odds reflect the amount of money you can win if your chosen team actually performs well on the day.

Choose your book and bet carefully

It pays to take some time to choose who you will place your money with when sports betting, because different sports books will offer differing returns based on bets that have been placed by other punters.

One of the most important ways of ensuring you have some success is to make sure you get value with every bet you place. What you are looking for here is getting better than “true” odds on your chosen team. Also known as an “overlay”, getting value on your bet might be for instance when you should be getting something like 3.5 points on your team, but are actually getting 6.5. points. So look for deals that are working statistically more in your favor, and will therefore provide you with more of a return should your chosen team win.

How do overlays occur?

This overlay concept in sports betting can sometimes occur because the sports bookies are covering a number of different games, all within a short time span. This means that their resources can be stretched a bit thin in some cases, which can result in what is known as “soft spots”. A soft spot is when the odds provided by the sports bookies do not reflect predicted results for the game – perhaps due to a player injury, or similar factor that can impact the outcome of the game you are betting on. If you have a good knowledge of the games you are putting your money on, you can take advantage of this situation.

Betting on the underdog

Another aspect to look for when betting on sports is betting on the underdog. We all know what an underdog is, but what many people new to sports betting are not aware of is that there can be a strong possibility for some underdog teams to actually win against the favored team. The odds on an underdog team are generally higher than those on a favored team, and can provide good returns on your initial bet amount. To take advantage of this possibility make sure you do some research on the teams you are betting on.

Texas Hold’em is by far the easiest and the best poker game for any beginner to learn. A Texas Hold’em strategy can be learned in a matter of minutes but understanding and obtaining a solid Texas Hold’em strategy that would help you win on a consistent basis will take time. I would suggest playing online, which offers a variety of play money tables for players to practice on, until you’re ready to move up to the real money tables.

But before I get into the basic strategies of how to play a solid poker game, there are a few factors in poker everyone should take into consideration.

Affordability – Simply, if you can’t afford to lose at poker, then don’t play at all. My solution for those with a hole in their pocket is to practice their Texas Hold’em strategy online with playmoney.

Playing for playmoney may be different from playing with real money because most players don’t care if they lose their playmoney and tend to go all in with no hand at all. Playmoney will teach you the fundamentals of Hold’em and you’ll learn how to play a tight-solid game, especially when dealing with those all-in playmoney maniacs.

No limit Texas Hold’em is a psychological warfare. If you are not mentally prepared before sitting at a real money table, then you shouldn’t play at all. WITHOUT mental preparation at a Hold’em game, you’re pretty much throwing your money away.

Mental preparation isn’t placing yourself in a trance or a Zen-like state (Unless it does help, then by all means). Mental preparation is focusing on winning, having a positive attitude, and possessing the attributes all winning poker players have:

1. Discipline

2. Patience

3. A Plan

Discipline and Patience are two attributes one must learn on their own. The Super Strategy Guide will help you develop a Plan to play successful poker, specifically, Texas Hold’em. Without these attributes, poker players will take advantage of you and in poker terms, you will be considered as a “fish” in the game of Texas Hold’em.

Your Texas Hold’em image is represented by your personality. Every poker player has a personality that can make or break them at a poker game. Your Texas Hold’em image is a crucial part of playing Texas Hold’em. Before I started writing this the section of identifying your Hold’em image and your opponents, I read an article that I’ve found really interesting that relates to this topic of table image.

A book author and professional Hold’em player was playing Texas Hold’em at the Mirage in Las Vegas. A player left his table and a man wearing shorts and a Hawaiian shirt filled the seat. The poker author explains, “I immediately pegged this guy for another tourist.

After the tourist sat down, he was telling stories and joking with the dealer and some of the other players. He didn’t seem to have a care in the world as he sat there talking and playing.”

Everyone at the table perceived this character’s Texas Hold’em image as a weak opponent, but this care-free tourist was winning with his very tight and aggressive style of play.

As the poker author left the table and went to the cashier to cash out, he bumped into his Hawaiian shirt, dressed friend and introduced himself. He explains, “I asked him where he was from and to my surprise he said he lived in Las Vegas. I mentioned that he looked like a tourist. ‘I know,’ he said. ‘Why would I want anyone at the table to think I’m a local?’”

Greyhound racing is an increasingly popular sport in Victoria and other areas of Australia, and there are many opportunities for people to become actively involved as well as just turning up to watch the races. Just think about how much more exciting, and hopefully profitable, greyhound racing would be if you owned one of the dogs that was participating in the race you were watching!

Greyhound racing is a community as well as a spectator sport, and it is much more rewarding to be a part of the community than just an interested outsider. Even if you do not think you can afford to own a first-rate racing greyhound, there are other options that you can explore.

The easiest way to become involved as an owner in greyhound racing in Australia if you do not have the expertise, time, or money to invest in a racing greyhound yourself is to form a greyhound syndication where a group of people are joint owners of a greyhound, sharing the costs and also sharing the prize money. Greyhound syndication gives you all the fun of being a part of the greyhound racing community at just a fraction of the expense incurred by a full-time owner. That is the great thing about greyhound syndication: the cost is reduced but the fun isn’t! And as everybody in Australia knows, it’s important to have fun.

To get involved in greyhound syndication, you simply have to register your syndicate using a syndication registration form and pay a modest fee. Then you can buy your greyhound and transfer ownership to your syndicate, and you’re ready to experience the fun, and hopefully the profits, of greyhound racing. Greyhound syndication is an excellent choice for greyhound racing enthusiasts in Australia, and there are many people who can help you set up your syndicate.

Hamish Jones manages greyhound syndications in Victoria and throughout the rest of Australia. If you are interested in becoming involved in Greyhound Syndication and enjoying all the fun of greyhound ownership, check out his website on Greyhound Syndication.

Once you are registered to an online poker provider you will most likely want to sit down and start winning as soon as possible, however, it pays to do a little research first. There are many kinds of poker available to play but we are going to concentrate on Texas Holdem.

There is basically two types of Texas Holdem Poker: Limit and No Limit.

Limit Poker is a game of skill that allows you to maybe keep some of your chip stack should you get beat. It is usually a longer game to play as the limits stop you from betting all your chips at once and getting beaten. No Limit is as it sounds, you may bet all of your chips at any time. There are some variations and these are usually variable between the different poker providers. One popular variation seems to be Speed Poker which has a time limit for each player to make their move and is usually a faster variation of the game. You should do some online research before deciding which game you are going to play.

Once you have chosen your game, find a full table and join the table as a guest. In real life this is called “railing” as you stand by the rails of the poker room. Watch the play and how it progresses, who bets when and how much they tend to bet. This will give you a good idea of how it all works before you play a game for yourself.

I would suggest railing a game for at least 30 minutes before deciding to join. You should make notes during this time, things you notice that individual players have been doing; always raising pre-flop, calling every raise or one of the other many poker moves. Most poker rooms allow you to make electronic notes on players which then become available when you next see that player at a table.

You should now have a little information before you sit at the table. It is something that not a lot of your opponents will do and should stand you in good stead when you decide to play and risk your bankroll for real.

Last Sunday Real Madrid got back their advantage of seven points as well as the leadership of the Spanish Liga rankings, but the team struggled during great part of the game against Real Zaragoza before winning 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Real Madrid’s accurate effectiveness gave the team the advantage at the 65th minute thanks to the Dutch Ruud van Nistelrooy; practically the first clear attack in all the game; followed by a goal from the Brazilian Robinho assuring the locals triumph.

The game’s top player was with no doubt Real Madrid’ goalkeeper Iker Casillas. The visiting team dominated the game for more than one hour, but without any effectiveness due to Casillas’ outstanding performance.

Madrid extended their perfect record playing at home and keep heading the championship with 44 points, seven points above FC Barcelona; team that won last Sunday’s game as well against the Real Mallorca. In third position is the Espanyol after their victory on Saturday against the Villarreal as locals, and in fourth place the Atlético de Madrid.

The Catalonian team is just one point behind Barça; these teams continue the battle closely following the steps of the Real Madrid.

Despite; Real Madrid’s laborious triumph against Zaragoza there was a black spot which concerns the team; the Argentinean defense Gabriel Heinze suffered a thigh tear and will have to remain inactive during at least three weeks.

In other games of the day, Real Valladolid beat 3-0 the Getafe as the visitor, Racing de Santander won 1-0 over Atlético de Bilbao at home and Real Murcia surpassed by 2-0 the Osasuna like locals. In the meantime, Recreativo de Huelva and Almería draw 1-1.

The Atlético celebrated a remarkable defeat 3-0 against the “Depor” as visitors, headed by Diego Forlán and Sergio Aguero. Forlán assured to change the scoreboard at the 6th minute after the break.

On the other hand, the Argentinean Aguero did shine on the field in a display of talent to add a spectacular goal. And only 12 minutes later midfielder Jurado set the final figures after the local defense could not clear a corner shot.
