Happy Birthday
For my birthday yesterday i decided to trade a couple games on Betfair. Aside from the Falcons/Cardinals game there was another NFL playoff game yesterday. The San Diego Chargers beat the Indianapolis Colts in overtime 23-17.
I also traded the New Jersey Nets/Miami Heat basketball game on Betfair.

Carter buzzer beater
Vince Carter sank a 3-pointer with no time left on the clock in the first overtime to give the New Jersey Nets a 93-91 win at home over the Atlanta Hawks. As can be seen below I traded the game for a guarenteed profit of close to $400 on Betfair.

Backing: is to bet for that side to win.
Laying: is to bet against that side to win.
The best way to explain is through examples. I am showing the market for which conference the Super Bowl winner will come from.
Presently you could back the NFC [...]
