The Basics Of Betting On Sports Futures

Posted on Feb 26th, 2010

Sports betting futures plays are often dismissed by more serious handicappers as poor values by definition. They’re most frequently associated with rank amateurs looking for a big payoff with little risk. For example, a player might be entranced with a +10000 payoff should St. George, Utah be awarded the 2020 Summer Olympic games. While that would definitely be a nice payday, the problem is that the ”true odds” of St. George, Utah hosting the Olympics is well in excess of a million to one. That means that even the huge ’plus number’ offered represents an underlay situation and a poor wagering value.

For the more serious bettor, there’s a number of obvious problems with futures wagers. They require that your wagering ’capital’ be tied up for months. Furthermore, once you’ve placed your bet you’re at the mercy of injuries, suspensions, trades and the other numerous factors that can spell defeat for a sports team. It’s no simple task keeping up with these variables on a day to day basis, and predicting them over a longer term is the province of psychics and not sports handicappers.  Read more...

Corporate Boat Cruises Mix Business And Pleasure

Posted on Feb 25th, 2010

Corporate boat cruises are gaining popularity as an alternative for corporations who hold large meetings away from headquarters. These cruises are comparable in price with renting meeting space at hotels and in many cases offer more in the way of amenities. This article will look at some of those options.

Corporate boat cruises are plentiful and very easy to find. Use any search engine and there are dozens of them at your fingertips. Don’t forget to type your city and state at the end of the search text. This will narrow the search a bit to include only those in your immediate area.

A luxury yacht offers the same corporate facilities that a hotel offers and more. Included in the corporate packages is everything you will need to conduct business meetings, interviews, or parties. This includes modern satellite, GPs, and hi-def monitors. Telecommunications are also up-to-date and ready to connect you to the world.

Many corporations are booking cruises for a wide variety of reasons. Employee recognition is one very popular function that corporate boat cruises play in business today. Special client presentations are another. I have recently heard of a retirement party for a beloved CEO on a cruise ship. These are just a few of the reasons corporations utilize the services small cruise lines offer.  Read more...

Affordable Disney Vacations – Save Money on Food with These Five Tips

Posted on Feb 23rd, 2010

Let me say that we find visiting Disney World to be a great excuse to eat! Lots of great choices, good quality in most cases, and the fun of trying new things, all entice us to truly enjoy eating while at Disney. Still, it can be very expensive, so we have found some ways to save money while still fully enjoying all the delicious options that Walt Disney World has to offer. Here are five favorite tips to reduce your Disney food budget and have an affordable Disney vacation:

1. Cook/eat some meals in your room. If you are staying in a vacation home, villa, condo, or even a hotel suite, you will probably have a kitchen. And even if you have a traditional hotel room, you may be able to have a small refrigerator where you can keep some milk, juices, and even lunchmeat and cheese for sandwiches.

2. You can save quite a bit of money by bringing your own snacks, juice, water etc.

3. Consider sharing some meals, as Disney portions are pretty large. Especially if you have little ones who don’t eat much, you can easily have 2 kids share, or and adult and child can do so as well….and no one will leave hungry!  Read more...

NY Jets Rip Hapless Raiders

Posted on Feb 22nd, 2010

The New York Jets and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez found a sure fire cure to their recent struggles-a game against the lowly Oakland Raiders. Sanchez passed for–3 yards and a touchdown, plus added a rushing touchdown as New York thumped Oakland 38-0 in the largest regular season shutout win in franchise history. Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell continued to struggle, and he passed for just 61 yards with three interceptions before he was benched in favor of Bruce Gradowski.

NFL football betting enthusiasts who took the Jets as -6 road favorites had smooth sailing throughout the game for an easy pointspread cover. The Jets improved to 4-3 against the spread while the Raiders fell to 3-5 against the number.

It was such an effortless game that the only thing that Sanchez had to apologize for was surreptitiously eating a hot dog near the end of the contest:

”I want to apologize for that. I wasn’t feeling very good and didn’t eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered a hot dog, so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn’t have done that, and it won’t happen again.”  Read more...

Just Across The Border Is Fabulous Canada

Posted on Feb 21st, 2010

Most people don’t consider crossing the border to our north as traveling abroad, but even though Canada and the United States have many similarities, Canada does have things to offer the world traveler. Although most of the population of Canada lives within a hundred or so miles from the border with the US, there is a huge and vast country to explore.

Canada has everything from big, metropolitan cities, to small country towns and everything in between. About the only thing that you can’t find are tropical sandy beaches and good surfing spots. Probably the most famous site in the whole country is the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. For anyone who has never seen the Falls, it is quite a site. It has become a popular destination for Honeymoons in the past and has gotten a bad rap for being too touristy. Although it has been thought of that way in the past, it is really a sight to behold. It is a natural wonder that everyone should see.  Read more...

Minnesota Loses First Game of Season

Posted on Feb 19th, 2010

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated no more. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ used a couple of big plays from their defense in the fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat the Vikings by a final score of 27-17. Favre put up decent yardage in the loss, throwing for 334 yards but had no touchdowns and an interception. The defending Superbowl Champion Steelers improved to 5-2, while the Vikings are now 6-1.

NFL pointspread players who backed the Steelers as -6 home favorites were rewarded with the cover. Pittsburgh had only covered one of their first six games heading into the contest, and the win improved their record against the number to 2-5. Minnesota dropped to 4-3 against the spread with the setback. The 44 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 46’.

The Steelers largely shut down Minnesota’s rushing game, holding Adrian Peterson to 69 yards. Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark underscored his team’s dominance against the run:

”That’s the biggest point of the game. You have the best running back in the world and you don’t give it to him. They’re saying they can’t beat us running, and that’s a major statement when you have the guy they have back there.”  Read more...
