Empty Dump

 Sports handicappers and sports investors are strongly encouraged to have more than one sports gaming source in order to shop for “line value”. This simply means taking the most advantageous position on every sports investment opportunity. Today there are numerous offshore sportsbooks, providing the opportunity to obtain multiple sports odds, and thus increasing the potential for a positive return.

Posted pointspreads can differ by a point or more on the same game, because lines are intended to evenly divide the wagering public’s opinion and, thus, their money. When a sportbook begins to receive more money on one side of a game than the other, they will likely move their line; however, due to the fact that there are so many gambling sportsbooks now, some houses may not receive as big of an imbalance of money as others, resulting in different lines for the same game.

Simple mathematics can easily establish the importance of “line shopping” or finding the best sports odds, as it can ultimately provide the difference between a profitable or losing week, month, or season. Random selections on 100 games should theoretically yield 50 wins and 50 losses. Assume for demonstration’s sake that 1 unit was wagered on each game. The result would be a net loss of 5 units due to the “vigorish” service fee taken by sportsbooks on each wager; however, if just FIVE of the defeats were within a point or two of the wagered line, and could have been won simply by finding a better pointspread, the result would be a 55-45 record and a net profit of 5.5 units. This is a reversal of more than 10 units on just a small number of events and with very conservative wagering. Even a half-point can be the difference between a win and a push or a push and a loss. Extrapolate the numbers over the course of a season with a more aggressive money management strategy and the gains are compounded dramatically.

Checking sports gambling odds at several sportsbooks is an absolute necessity and can be done much more quickly now than before the days of the Internet. PRO INFO SPORTS provides multiple live lines on the Handicapping Services - Sports Odds, Scores & News page.

As with any industry there are unscrupulous types to watch out for. Most of the offshore countries where sportsbooks are located require certain terms be met before they grant a license. Also, some countries are now beginning to legalize and regulate online gaming, the same as they do for other industries. Take your time in deciding who you will sign up with. Do your research on the various sportsbooks rules, promos, etc., to see if they meet your needs, and keep up to date with the latest sportsbook news.

Once your sportsbook accounts are funded, you are ready to find the best sports odds and put our handicapping and money management strategies to work for a rewarding and enjoyable sports investment venture with our Sports Handicapping Services.

HR 5767 and the Future in USA Based Online Gambling
By Daniel Millions

 Ron Paul and Barney Frank introduced bill HR 5767 in order to prohibit the US government to ban online gambling in the United States, this after the introduction of the actual ban itself called the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act). The bill recently came to vote in the US government and lost. Its aim was to stop this ban and have the US government regulate national gambling, which would in turn generate billions in revenue for the government over the course of a decade.

It is quite shocking and sad to see that the bill did not pass in congress. First of all, the bill would have been a great help to the already damaged US economy as the revenues the government regulation would bring into the government are in the billions over the course of a decade, and that is just the start. Another positive fact is that if the bill were to have passed, the government would be able to successfully, or improve its monitoring on US citizens making bets online, as the current situation clearly states that Americans are still gambling despite the fact that there is a current ban on internet gambling operations, and that the UIGEA law has failed.

It is much better for the government to regulate and stop impeding Americans to gamble online than to ban the whole process altogether and fail in the ban itself while not taking in revenues from online gambling operations.

The bill was turned down in part due to the Las Vegas entrepreneurs and operators lobbying the government in order to succeed in the ban due to the reasoning that since Americans will not be able to gamble online, where else than Vegas to make bets, wagers, and have a good time in general, therefore promoting tourism and economic activity in the city.

The future is quite grim after HR 5767 failed to pass as now the ban remains, and Americans will not be able to gamble online, at least for a long time until another bill like this one comes to the senate floor for discussion. It would have been better for the government to lift the ban, and promote the Las Vegas entrepreneurs to compete with each other over the internet than to ban the gambling operation and stop from gaining billions in taxes and earnings from regulation.

In places like most European countries, this type of gambling has become acceptable, and has grown in staggering popularity. Governments take in revenue from online gambling operations, and punters are happy performing bets online in fair regulated markets. USA based casino operators should learn from these already successful methods of gambling operation s and try to promote it in their own country instead of trying to impede it in order to make their clients go in a physical manner to their casinos. It is much cheaper and much more effective to have online virtual portals than to spend billions in physical infrastructure.
