Advantage Betting
Advantage Play!
After my post yesterday, World Baseball Classic Underway I received a comment asking where a sportsbook that allows this parlay could be found.
Before I get to that I want to discuss the bet that I have just finished placing. The Dominican Republic is playing the Netherlands tomorrow. The Dominican Republic are 7 run favorites, while the over/under [...]
World Baseball Classic Underway
Baseball is back! The World Baseball Classic started yesterday with Japan beating China 4-0. I really like Japan to repeat this year. I think 4-1 is value, you can still get odds above that at Betfair and some sportsbooks. One of the advantages of a betting exchange is not only that games go in-play but [...]
Top 3 Underrated NBA Teams
With the All-Star Break upon us in the NBA there are many articles around discussing who got snubbed from their respective All-Star teams. Instead of looking at underrated players I thought it would be interesting to look at the top 3 underrated teams. These could be teams worth looking at in upcoming matchups to get some value. [...]
TSN Line Comparison
I have found a line comparison provided by TSN (www.tsn.ca). It provides lines for several sportsbooks and Betfair. You can compare games in the four major sports in North America as well as soccer from a variety of countries. There are plenty of sites that do this. They can help you to find the best [...]

Ravens Look to Relive 2000 Super Bowl Run
Expect a defensive battle in the first divisional NFL playoff game Saturday. Baltimore takes their NFL’s second best defence into Tennessee who own the NFL’s seventh ranked defence.
I just finished watching the end of the week 5 matchup between these two teams with the Titans winning 13-10. Both teams look better now than they did then. Joe Flacco [...]
Betfair Earnings
As I have been showing earnings (and losses) from Betfair I have decided to show my earnings trading on this exchange since I started trading in July, 2007. I do not have any of this months figures on the chart yet.
Some figures I look at are the first year total, from July ‘07- June ‘08, the earnings were $106,600. [...]
Baltimore vs. Miami
I really like Baltimore to win this Sunday afternoon matchup. Both teams finished the regular season at 11-5. Baltimore was 5-3 on the road and Miami was 5-3 at home. Chad Pennington, the NFL’s comeback player of the year for the second time, will find it tough trying to battle through the Baltimore defence. They [...]
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.
