Betfair Trading: How Does It Work?
I finished school about a year and a half ago. Over that time I do not know how many times I’ve been asked “What are you doing for a living?” Over 90% of the time the inquisitor does not fully understand my explanation, even ones that bet on sports. People that have knowledge of the [...]
NFL Week 7 Value
We are just about half way into the NFL season. Teams are starting to separate but most have shown several sides. So where can we find some betting value this week?
Chicago Bears @ Cincinnati Bengals
Jay Cutler seems to get more comfortable with each passing week. I Think the Bears chance of winning this game is [...]
NHL Picks: Atlanta Thrashers Over Montreal Canadiens
The Atlanta Thrashers look to continue their hot start in Montreal tonight. It may be perfect timing as the Canadiens are in the midst of a five game losing streak. The Habs have been outscored 20-9 over those five game.
This is a classic case of teams going in opposite directions. I’m all over Atlanta [...]
NFL Week 6: Here Come the Dogs
Looking through the odds on this week’s NFL games I found several underdogs that I like.
Baltimore Ravens @ Minnesota Vikings
The Ravens will have to throw the ball efficiently to win this one as Minnesota has a stingy run defence. Joe Flacco looks good so far. Ravens are at 2.34
Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Bucaneers
Both teams [...]
Betfair Premium Charge: What Can You Do?
For a year now a good week of betting/trading on Betfair is followed by the Premium Charge. What is there to do about it? I try my best take profits from Betfair and put them into other exchanges/sportsbooks. For the most part I have to suck it up.
NHL Betting Tips: Tie in Big D
The Nashville Predators are in Dallas tonight to take on the Stars for the second time this season. Their first meeting resulted in a 3-2 shootout win for Nashville.
Three of the four Dallas games this season have gone to overtime.
The Predators have scored just seven goals in their four games while allowing 11. [...]
Monday Night Football Betting: New York Jets @ Miami Dolphins
The New York Jets will look to get back on the winning track tonight in Miami as they face the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. A Jets win will put them back atop the AFC East standings.
Chad Pennington is still out, so it will be Chad Henne getting the start at quarterback for the [...]

Cleveland @ Buffalo
Shot at an upset here, I’m going to try Cleveland.
Dallas @ Kansas City
Kansas [...]
MLB Postseason: Divisional Series Picks
It’s time for playoff baseball. Here are my picks to advance to the Championship series.
Colorado Rockies vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Rockies can’t match the Phillies pitching. I like the Phillies to advance.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Dodgers aren’t playing well right now. Cardinals were my pick to win the World Series at the start of the [...]
Brett Favre Faces the Packers
Football fans have been waiting for this one for a while. Brett Favre will go up against the Green Bay Packers.
The stage is set. Favre’s new team, the Minnesota Vikings, are 3-0 to start the season. Their win last week was due to Favre making a great throw in the dying seconds of the game. [...]
