Advantage Betting
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.
Saints vs. Bears Preview
Week 15 in the NFL season kicks off tonight with the New Orleans Saints going into Chicago to play the Bears. The rematch of the 2006 NFC Championship Game, which the Bears won decisively, will be played in a similar frigid temperature. Sportsbooks have the Bears at around a 3 point favorite with the over/under set around [...]
Eagles top Giants
Brian Westbrook had two touchdowns as the Philadelphia Eagles gave the New York Giants their second loss of the season. Some might say a reason for the loss is the absence of Giant’s receiver Plaxico Burress who accidentally shot himself on November 28th. Also, Westbrook seems to be healthier than he was in the middle [...]
Celtic Pride
It’s been a bit of a slow week for me trading bets on Betfair (for more information see the Betting Exchanges page). After last week earning over $4000, and earning over $2300 in each of the past four weeks I am slightly above even for this week. This time of the year the NFL is usually [...]
NFL Weather
Presently watching the San Diego Chargers dominating the Oakland Raiders. I have traded on the betting exchangefor a guaranteed win, although it is a small one. Presently there are 3 minutes left in the third quarter with the Chargers up 27-7. With most over/unders set around 43 points this has a good shot of going over [...]
Steven Jackson sits 4th quarter
Week 13 in the NFL saw the St. Louis Rams lose to the Miami Dolphins 16-12. To see the Rams lose is not the unusual thing here as they have two wins this year. What is unusual is that Steven Jackson sat out most of the 4th quarter in a close football game. Jackson had [...]
