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.
Showing my bets
I recently recieved a comment asking to see the bets that I have placed on a game. Some games I may match in the area of 100 bets. If I do end up playing a market where I don’t match many bets then I will show them. I just finished watching the Liberty bowl where [...]
How do Betting Exchanges work?
In Betting Exchanges you can make two bets, backing and laying.
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 [...]
Green Christmas
NBA basketball was on the schedule for Christmas Day. I took a couple hours to Trade on Betfair after I finished Christmas supper this evening. First up was a rematch of last year’s NBA Championship Final, the Boston Celtics were visiting the Los Angleles Lakers. The Lakers managed to snap the Celtic’s franchise record 19-game winning [...]
Chase the losses
After the loss on the previous NFL game (Atlanta vs. Minnesota) I had to make sure I got into a frame of mind where I was not going to chase my losses and take unnecessary risks while trading the Sunday night football game on Betfair. The Carolina Panthers battled but eventually lost to the New York Giants [...]
New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears
Thursday’s NFL game between the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears proved to be a profitable one for me. The Bears ended up winning the game 27-24 in overtime thanks to a 35-yard field goal by Robbie Gould. You can see below that I traded in the game quite effectively on Betfair.
