In colonial America stakes betting on cockfights, horse racing and in many cases hand-to-hand fights were common place. This was occasionally done as a form of rest and sometimes as a means to learn. Every time a sport was performed someone was willing to position a lay down a bet. Our American History shows that betting has always been a part of our American culture.
Betting is up all over the country as race tracks, bingo parlors, casino's, and internet gambling have been on the rise for years. It was estimated that one-in-four Americans makes a bet ...

***An excerpt and argument for the topic above from 3/6/2011
No college plays qualify today. I have one NBA plays.
#811 New Orleans Hornets -4.5 (3 units)
The Hornets only 4 and a half points to the Cavs? I have them marked at -6 points favorites at least (not to mention about 4 or 5 good signs the NOR is just a real under the radar sleeper team) on the card today. They've fallen down so far in the ranks, and now people think that basically just an average team is what they are. Personally I disagree...a lot. We've seen how hot the Hornets can be, and this is exactly the game they need to take advantage of to pick up ...

NBA Beer Money Play:
[504] Denver Nuggets +4.5 over the Boston Celtics (0.25 units) WIN
"This play comes in as a pretty solid one, but I just can't take it for more than beer money (beer money, meaning the
amount of money a beer might cost you....a beer from the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (Beer Scam video in the link). To be honest, I'm just going with my numbers, and I've sort of ignored the trade drama. Denver does really great ATS and SU as a home dog that just won by double digits where they has twice and many assists as they did turnovers. That is in reference to the Memphis beat so if anyone is wondering: is this ...

Technical Analysis of 2011 Baseball Regular Season Wins - Baseball Futures
Baseball is almost here. To kick it off I'm giving you guys my RSW raw numbers, and a simple guide to play MLB RSW Futures for the 2011 Season. These aren't official bets (well maybe they will be later on after I look things over more carefully). Most of these lines aren't out at my main books anyways, but I figured I'd put this together ahead of time to help you out. I'll give you directions on how I would play these:
Some people are fans of futures and some really just aren't. Generally I am not a fan, to be perfectly honest. Some ...

[101] Pittsburgh Steelers +2.5 +109 over the Green Bay Packers (1.5 units)
This wraps up our NFL season. Last year I took the New Orleans Saints as a very small play. This year I'll do the same on the Steelers. You can read how I deal with big games like this in a little more depth there. http://www.procomputergambler.com/super-bowl-xliv-free-pick/
I bring up the old post there for you to read to save me some typing. This one reminds me a lot of the Saints game. Real sharp line, and I think that it is a crap-shoot to go real heavy into this game. What I have though are the Steelers to pull an "upset" over the ...
