			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boxing is a sport that is played and watched worldwide and many people choose to also bet on the outcome of the matches. Boxing is a sport that if followed can become a very easy sport to win money in, because often the favourite of the match will win. There aren’t as many people betting in this sport as other sports, but the people who do bet on boxing usually bet large amounts. If you want to win money betting on boxing you’re going to need to follow the sport or else you won’t stand a chance. There are some great forums out there where you can get information on all the upcoming fights around the world and you can find out who should win.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.betsports101.com/boxing-betting/">Boxing betting</a> is full of upsets and often times you won’t be able to bet on the real easy matches with an online sportsbook. When they do allow heavy favourites to be bet on you can guarantee that they will make you pay a big amount of juice to make the bet. Generally when betting on boxing you’ll bet on the outcome which means you’ll choose a winner or draw. The favourite also costs you more money then you can win whereas the underdog pays out more then you spend.</p>
<p>If a boxer is a favourite of -500, these <a href="http://www.betsports101.com/boxing-odds/">boxing odds</a> means that for every dollar you want to win you’re going to need to wager $5 which is a lot of risk. The underdog in this fight might pay something like +350 which means that if the underdog wins you’d get paid out $3.50 for every $1 you wagered. Draws also usually pay around +200/+300, but they don’t happen often and aren’t really the best bet to make. Another common bet which is allowed in most sportbooks is betting on how long a fight will last. If the total amount of rounds predicted is 5.5 then you need to choose whether it will be over or under. If you choose over then the fight needs to go 6 rounds for you to win. You will also be allowed to make wagers on whether you think a boxer will win by KO which pays out more then just betting on them to win the match.</p>
<p>There are a few general rules that most <a href="http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Boxing/">boxing matches</a> follow when being bet on and you should know them before making any wagers. When a match has bets wagered on it the fight needs to be fought within seven days of the actual scheduled date. If for any reason the fight is delayed for seven days past the scheduled date the bet will be void and the money reimbursed to your account. When the bell rings to a boxing match the match is considered to be official now and all bets are on the line. If for some reason the amount of rounds in a fight is switched prior to the fight all bets will be void and reimbursed. Much like blackjack online, boxing is very easy to bet on, but winning is difficult unless you spend the time reading news and learning the sport.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important steps in capping a tennis match is learning what court surface the match will be played on. If you don’t know what court surface the match is going to be played on then you’re not going to be able to find out what player has the advantage in the match. Some cappers believe that the court surface in tennis is irrelevant, but if you take a look at the stats you’ll notice something completely different.  </p>
<p>If you take a look at how <a href="http://www.rafaelnadal.com/">Rafael Nadal</a> has played this year you’ll notice that he hasn’t been playing very well when the match is played on a hard court. Nadal’s playing style is geared towards excelling on clay surfaces for several reasons and it causes him to struggle on the hard court at times. He has shown success on the hard court, clay court and grass court, but as of late he has been struggling on the hard court. If you have been placing wagers on Nadal this year when he is playing on the hard court then you might already know what I mean.  </p>
<p>There are three different types of court surfaces used in tennis today which include the hard court, clay court and grass court. Clay courts will generally help the ball slow down off of the serve and it also helps the ball bounce higher in the air. Grass courts aren’t very popular in tennis, but they still are around. Grass courts have the fastest playing speed. Hard courts are also fast playing and are geared towards players that can hit the ball really hard down the lines.  </p>
<p>Typically the younger and stronger players will prefer playing on the hard court or grass court whereas veterans will prefer the clay court. A lot of veteran <a href="http://www.bettennisonline.com/">online tennis betting</a> players will lose some of their power and speed which is why they prefer playing on a slower clay court. When you’re capping a tennis match one of the first things that you need to look at is what court surface the match will be played on. Once you’ve taken a look at the court surface you need to start researching the stats on the two players in the match.  </p>
<p>In most cases when you go through the stats of the two players you’ll find one player that has a clear advantage on a given surface. In some cases there will be no advantage and in most cases these matches shouldn’t be wagered on unless you have another distinctive edge in the match that you’ve found. Apart from the court surface you can also take a look at some other factors which many neglect to mention such as the time of the match and the weather. Some players just don’t play well in the early morning while other players can’t seem to piece together a win at night. Keep this in mind when you are looking at the <a href="http://www.bettennisonline.com/tennis-betting-odds/">tennis odds</a> and if you can find these slight edges while betting on tennis then you should have no problem coming out ahead of the game at the end of the year. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The seventeen is the bare minimum hand in <a href="http://www.blackjacktips.net/">blackjack online</a> that the dealer must stand on.  While the dealer must stand on a seventeen, does this mean that it is ideal for a blackjack player to follow suit by also standing when they receive 17?  A blackjack player is well off assessing the situation before engaging in a game of monkey see, monkey do with the dealer in how they play the seventeen. </p>
<p>Playing a soft seventeen </p>
<p>Even though the dealer stands pat on a soft seventeen, it is quite advantageous for a blackjack player to hit their soft seventeen.  This is not to say that the player should not be mindful of the dealer&#8217;s up card, however, as there is opportunity to double down profitably in certain instances when the player holds a soft seventeen.  When the dealer&#8217;s up card is a three, four, five or six &#8211; a blackjack player&#8217;s most profitable move is to double down.  When the blackjack dealer holds a two, seven, eight, nine, ten, or ace &#8211; the blackjack player is most profitable when they simply hit their card.   </p>
<p>Once they have taken a hit, the <a href=" http://de.blackjacktips.net/">blackjack</a> player should reassess their hand in accordance to how their card count with respect to the dealer&#8217;s up card.  This means that if a blackjack player hits their soft seventeen and receives a three, they should play the hand as if they have a soft twenty, which calls for the player to stand in all instances.  However, if the player gets a card such as a six, they should follow the suggested strategy that they would follow for a hard fourteen, which calls for the player to stand if the dealer&#8217;s up card is a two through six but hit if the dealer holds a seven, eight, nine, ten, face card, or ace. </p>
<p>If a blackjack player is dealt a natural seventeen (a hand valued at seventeen without the presence of an ace), the player should stand regardless of the dealer&#8217;s up card.  Hitting when a blackjack player holds a natural 17 is not a profitable move no matter what the dealer possesses. </p>
<p>When playing a seventeen in <a href="http://fr.blackjacktips.net/">black jack</a>, a player should stand when they hold a hard seventeen but hit (at minimum) when they have a soft seventeen.  Let the dealer&#8217;s up card guide you when playing the soft seventeen when deciding whether to hit or double down.  Do not imitate the dealer by standing when you have a soft seventeen. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the main reasons why thousands of people play online slot machines at sites like <a href="http://www.slotsguide.net/crazy-slots">crazy slots</a> is because of the progressive jackpots that can be won. Almost every month we hear about another slot player that has walked away with a life changing amount of money. If you would like to become the next player to win a progressive jackpot then you need to make sure you read through this guide. We’re going to walk you through what a progressive jackpot is as well as list some of the most progressive jackpots on the internet.  </p>
<p>What Is A Progressive Jackpot? </p>
<p>A progressive jackpot slot machine is the same as a normal slot machine except some of the money spent on the machine will be put into a jackpot. In most cases there are multiple slot machines linked together which form one big progressive jackpot. Some online casinos will even share there progressive jackpot slot machines will other casinos so that the jackpot can build up quicker. In order to win most progressive jackpot slot machines you need to bet the maximum amount of credits into the machine. The one good thing about progressive jackpots is that you’ll be able to receive your payment in one sum rather then split up into payments like in most land based casinos around the world.  </p>
<p>Popular Online Progressive Jackpots </p>
<p>    * Mega Moolah is a progressive jackpot slot machine that you can play on <a href="http://www.slotsguide.net/super-slots-casino">SuperSlots</a>. This progressive slot machine is five reels and has twenty-five paylines with the jackpot reaching into the millions. To win the progressive jackpot you need to bet the maximum amount of credits which is 125 credits. </p>
<p>    * Treasure Nile is another progressive jackpot machine available on certain MicroGaming Casinos. This slot machine is five reels and only has a total of nine paylines. Most people expect progressive jackpots to reach into the twenty+ paylines category, but that isn’t the case with Treasure Nile. This progressive slot machine also reaches seven figures on a regular basis. </p>
<p>    * Major Millions is one of the most popular MicroGaming progressive jackpot slot machines out there right now. The machine is only three reels and has only three paylines which makes it one of the simplest progressive jackpot machines too play. The progressive jackpot starts with a base jackpot of $250K, but it has reached into the seven figures on numerous occasions. </p>
<p>    * Aztec’s Millions is another great progressive jackpot machine that is played by thousands of people every single day. The progressive slot machine jackpot rewards the lucky winner with a life changing amount of money. Aztec’s Millions is a video slot that has five reels and twenty-five paylines. </p>
<p>With most <a href="http://www.slotsguide.net/progressive-slots-online">progressive jackpots</a> offering players the chance to win over $1 million dollars instantly it’s no wonder they have become so popular. The chances of hitting a progressive jackpot are obviously unlikely, but at the same time there are people every month walking away with a jackpot from one of the many online casinos out there.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When betting on professional basketball, betting on the home team is a safe bet.  The home court advantage is strong, as the home team comes out victorious over 60% of the time straight up.  When the point spread is brought into the equation, however, the home team ends up the winner slightly less than half the time.  So when betting the home town heroes in the <a href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Recreation/Sports/Basketball/Leagues/National_Basketball_Association__NBA_/News_and_Media/">NBA</a>, how should one bet them? </p>
<p>When the home team is favored </p>
<p>When the home team is listed as the favorite on the <a href="http://www.basketballsportsbook.com/NBA-Odds">NBA line</a>, the home team wins nearly three-quarters of the time.  This suggests that the home team wins when they are expected to win most of the time.  However, when the home team is favored and spots points to the visitors, as they do when they come in as the favorite in the NBA point spread line, the home team covers the spread only half the time.  This leaves roughly a 25% gap between the actual results and the results against the spread.  With that in mind, a basketball bettor is best served taking the home favorite via the money line. </p>
<p>When there is a dog at home </p>
<p>When the home team sits as an underdog in the NBA, they win outright less than 35% of the time.  This suggests that the underdog at home does not perform above expectations.  When they are expected to lose, they typically go down in defeat &#8211; meeting expectations.  However, when the home team gets points in the spread, the home dog wins with the added points 48% of the time.  This suggests that the home team is best bet as an underdog taking the points, as the added points are typically enough to push the home dog over the top.  However, the home dog rarely wins outright. </p>
<p>When betting on the home team in <a href="http://www.basketballsportsbook.com/">NBA basketball betting</a>, a bettor is well served using the money line to bet the hometown favorite, while accepting points when betting the home dog against the spread.  The difference of 15% between outright wins and wins by virtue of the spread justify taking the points with the home court advantage.  However, an NBA basketball bettor wants to be cautious of spotting the road dog points when the home team is favored, as the difference in outcome varies by nearly 25%. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before we take a look at what receivers can be counted on as game-changing options in the <a href="http://www.footballbettingpro.com/">NFL betting</a> this year, I want to dig even deeper into the WR pool, through the stars and the veterans and land squarely on none other than this year’s rookie crop. Rookies? Playoffs? That’s right, rookies. Because every year there are sleepers that learn their system much faster than that mythical “three year learning curve” and have an immediate impact. One well-placed pass can change a game, hell it can even change a season, and it can definitely affect your spreads and picks on any given week. So don’t disrespect the youngsters. Especially this year’s crop.</p>
<p>And that crop begins and ends with Michael Crabtree. We’ve all seen him play in college, so I’m not going to spend the entire article rehashing all his talents that you already know about. Instead, let’s take a look at a couple areas in which he’ll benefit in the year ahead. First, he won’t be the immediate focal point of the entire offense. Unlike a new, fresh set of running back legs, wideouts can pick and choose (or the coordinators can, at least) when they get some attention. This can allow for a smoother, calmer transition into a new offense. Of course, while Crabtree might not be the focus of the entire offense right away, he will immediately be the No. 1 receiver, with <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/2914">Isaac Bruce</a> helping him out on the other side. Look for Crabtree to start showing up on the highlight reels by mid season. Take a look through the 49ers schedule and you can almost pick out the game right now that he’ll have a game-changing effect on. Frank Gore is now an established star RB in the league. You add Crabtree to the mix, and you’re looking at an almost certain improvement on last year’s 7-9 record. I can see them going 9-7 or better and sneaking into the playoffs. In fact, I’d bet on it.</p>
<p>Another rookie wideout to keep an eye on is Jeremy Maclin out of Missouri. Man am I sad to see this guy go pro being a Mizzou fan, but I think he’ll overcome any size limitations and be a impact guy in the <a href="http://www.footballbettingpro.com/nfl-odds/">NFL Odds</a>. He was a steal for the Eagles at No. 19, and although the Eagles are in fine position to return to the deep part of the playoffs, having a wild card like Maclin as a wideout or return option (a la Devin Hester) can only be a good thing. Westbrook, McNabb and the boys can use an injection of youthful energy to keep them on their toes, anyhow. Bet on Philly improving their record, and giving the Giants and Bears again something to fear when the snow starts falling.</p>
