As the news spread, punters made a dash for their computers to get their bets in with their online sports books. Word was out that the financially troubled Weymouth Football Club was going to field their youth team against Rushden & Diamonds.

It’s being reported that more than £1 million was paid out after heavy betting action came in on Weymouth losing this match…and lose it they did. The rumour was in fact true and the home side cashed big tickets in one of the largest non-league football betting coups.

It all started when the entire team made the decision to go on strike due to not being paid so far this season and that there wouldn’t be any medical insurance for the match. That resulted in the club being forced to start the Weymouth teenage team.

Top Mixed Martial Arts Sports Betting Upsets

As we near the end of 2009 we take a look at some of the biggest moneyline upsets bets in MMA of that year. Everyone knows about Kimbo Slice losing to Seth Petruzelli. This fight shocked the world but it was not the biggest betting upset of the year at +358.

No other sports betting upset was as big as when former top pound for pound fighter Takanori Gomi lost at Sengoku 6 to Sergey Golyaev. Golyaev already had 5 loses and he was not expected to come close to beating the highly ranked Gomi but he ended up winning a split decision. That fight was probably the biggest upset in MMA history next to Georges St Pierre`s lose to Matt Serra. The other two biggest betting line upset of the year was Yoon Dong Sik losing to Andrews Nakahara at Dream 6 at +525 and Fabricio Werdum getting brutally KOèd by Junior Dos Santos. Rounding out the top five on the most surprising MMA betting upset was the once unbeatable Urijah Faber losing to Mike Brown at WEC 36 at -563 and Roan Carneiro.

Sports betting is a tricky thing. Thankfully betting on the UFC and mixed martial arts in general is much better to win and profit on than in most sports. Because sports’ betting on MMA has been relatively new many of the top sportsbook oddsmakers have no idea how to set the on online betting lines. Most lines makers have no idea about fighters, their training schedule who they have fought in the past and their fighting style.

MMA betting is all about matchups and who they are fighting that day. If a fighter has lost 2 in a row n but he has fought top level guys that the oddsmakers will look at those stats and set soft lines for that fighter since they see he has lost recently. But what if that fighter is a striker and fought two high level grapplers and now he is fighting another striker. For example, at UFC 104 Machida vs. Rua, Chael Sonnen was pretty big underdog versus Yushin “Thunder”Okami at +185. He was only a betting underdog because he lost his last fight versus Demain Maia quickly. However, Maia is a top level grappler and Okami is not but the sports book [out] oddsmakers have no idea how to set the lines.

Luck is the most important part of gambling, as anyone who has spent any time in a casino, at the race track betting on horse racing, playing the lottery, poker, blackjack or any game of chance can tell you. Some people seem to be luckier than others and demonstrate the truth behind the old saying, “I’d rather be lucky than good.” How true that is. Good luck will get you through almost anything and no matter how deep you may appear to be in the soup, you may come out smelling like a rose if you have good fortune.

Of course, most people believe that it is impossible to change destiny or fortune so it is impossible to control your luck, but that may not actually be the case. Science has demonstrated that there are times when people win more and lose less. In his book, “The Conscious Universe,” Professor Dean Radin analyzed the results of four years of data from casinos. He was looking for a correlation between the phases of the moon, strength of the Earth’s geomagnetic fields, and casino payout percentages. During the full moon the Earth’s geomagnetic field is usually at its weakest. Professor Radin believes there may be some connection between the Earth’s magnetic fields, the moon, human psychic ability, and gambling.

One scientific study that Prof. Radin mentions in his book did demonstrate that people seem to be more psychic during the full moon, then their abilities seem to wane during the quarter moons and increase again during the new moon. This fluctuation in psychic ability seems to also follow luck because four years of casino data showed that payouts increased at the time of the full moon and decreased at other times for most casino games studied. Perhaps our intuition or psychic ability really does help us to win, whether it is picking the slot machine that is about to pay out, or knowing whether to hit a 13 at the blackjack table, or which horse will win the race. Poker players can certainly use intuition to their benefit.

The Odd Makers of Online Football Betting

Football betting is something most people do. They try to keep it quiet as lot of people might see it as gambling. It has almost become a secret society of which millions and millions of Americans are members.

With the rise of the online casino’s and sports betting, it has become a lot easier to place your bets on football games. In the past, you might have gone through a few magazines next to you or you might have listened to the sports radio programs to get a feel for the “vibe” around a match. The team that was expected to win was decided by 3 or 4 nationally known experts and their opinion was all you had.

Now you can find the odd makers all over the internet. This is an excellent opportunity for you as most of them provide you with a lot of “insight” information for a team and their statistics. Despite the fact that this information is out there for anyone to see, it is still good as you do not really play against other people. You are always up against the odds makers. Truth is that this information might actually sway a price on a match one way or another. So always try to find the best information from multiple sites. There is no assurance that you will reach the same conclusion as the odds makers on the match, but it may pave way to search a right tip in order to find a good price for your expected outcome.

Huge number of betting system reports present online will provide more information on these betting odds.

Online Sports Betting

Betting on the results of sporting events has always been a popular hobby. Now with the Internetand online betting facilities, placing a bet has become easier than ever before.

A wager can be placed in the usual manner like with a bookmaker or through the bet exchange, a new innovation on the Internet. Through this, individuals can place bets against each other with the “house” taking a small commission.

Usually, betting online means that you will be betting against a point spread. The purpose of the point spread is to even out the betting so that the amount bet on the underdog is equal to the amount bet on the favorite. This guarantees a 10% profit for the house on half the bets made, no matter which team wins. When a betting line mirrors the public view of the two competing teams, it usually does well.

To bet online successfully you should be able to spot trends. While this may not guarantee a win, it is a valuable indication of a game’s outcome. Remember not to bet on a team just because you like the team. Choose teams for the right reasons, not just because you are optimistic about your favorite team.

Ideally, you should not bet on your home team, as it is difficult to be objective. When you bet, do it with conviction and limit the number of games you play, as you need to concentrate. Don?t ever overstretch yourself. By limiting your weekly plays to somewhere between 5 and 7 games you will be able pick more accurately as well as keep track of your records.

The Sports Betting Champ Overview

The Sports betting champ is a system of betting on major sports that boasts an outrageous winning p.c.. I will not vouch for the win percentage number presented, but I win close to 75%.

There’s a system for betting on the NBA that reports a 97% win rate. Even if you make a screw up or 2, a 75% win rate will permit you to speculate on the NBA at a profit.

Also included is John’s system for picking the winners of big league Baseball games, which is also claimed to be 97% correct.

You’ll also get John’s NFL gambling system. This one claims a 67% win rate on all games in the national football League.

As a shopper you may also get Johns picks, free for life. That way, even if the system is too complicated and time intensive for you, you can just have your picks sent to your e-mail mail. What might be simpler.

I am definitely a tiny time better, but the program has permitted me to do that at a profit. Maybe one day I’m going to get the guts to bet big.
