The Shark Tank

I officially launched the ITH People’s Champion Fund a little less than a week ago and we have raised almost $7,000 so far.  Of course, the strongest supporters joined up quickly and there will be some people who sit on the fence and sign up right at the last minute, but I think we probably [...]

First of all, I wanted to talk about the ITH League season-ending freerolls.  These were great events with great prizes and great opposition.  I’ve had such a great time playing with my fellow ITHers and talking trash with them.  It seems to me that it gave me an experience akin to that of the professional [...]

Miami did pull off the Eastern conference victory and I’m still holding some 9:1 free money on them to win the championship.  With Dallas winning the Western and being a significant favorite to win it all, I’m trying to decide how to handle it.  I think Dallas is running around -135 or so, so I [...]

As I’ve posted before, I believe in making sports bets that are sure things.  I look for arbitrage opportunities so that I’m going to win no matter what happens.  However, certain betting situations just don’t lend themselves that well to that kind of play.  For instance, as an enticement from one of the sportsbooks I [...]

I got a real nice bet down on the Carolina/Seattle game, where I was assured of a 2.5% profit no matter who won. It involved some risk because I locked in one side of the bet way before I bet the other side and I couldn’t be sure the line would move the way [...]

I’ve been dealing with one of those colds that isn’t really a real cold. Its been just enough to keep me feeling a bit off my game, but not enough to really bring things to a halt. It has sapped my energy a bit.
I did make a number of sports bets on the [...]

I have been concentrating on my sports betting action. I put a few more dollars into play and I’m currently up $3,000 exactly. This is slightly misleading because I have unmet wagering requirements at some of the sites. I had won six bets in a row into CRIS and was getting closer [...]

Some sportsbooks simply give you your bonus money as extra money in your account to do with as you see fit. These bonuses are my favorites, of course. However. many books give you the bonus as a “free play.” The rules for a free play are that you get to make a [...]

I’m interested in sports betting purely as a way to make a few dollars with my otherwise idle poker bankroll. I’m particularly interested in arbitrage opportunities and bonus chasing. I believe that it is possible (and I think this may be conservative) to earn 1% on my sports wagering bankroll every other week [...]

My main man Bullajami talked me into jumping into the world of sports betting two weeks ago. I had always avoided it because it seems like the kind of gambling that your mother warned you about. You know what I mean, every movie that starts with someone betting on sports always ends with [...]
