I wrote a post about giving some tips a little while ago but gambling is something you can always improve on.
A point to remember Billy Walter from the computer group, who was probably the greatest gambler this side of Biff from Back to the Future II, only had a lifetime winning percentage of about 57%. I say only because most people think the best gamblers win on every bet they make.Don’t be fooled by those “Internet Champs” that tell you they win 97% of the time.It’s just not true. Remember the best lose over 40% lifetime but you can maximize your winnings by betting smart

Hey I’ve been working on a few things and I will have some new articles by Thursday and another Interview by the weekend if all goes well. But let’s have a look at some of my favorite YouTube Gold.
In this one Andrew Bynum shows up the Shaq Daddy and almost loses his head.
Rosi Sexton breaks the stereotypes of what the casual fan expects a top woman’s MMA star should be, Rosi is tough as nails but she’s quite shy and describes herself as a geek, she’s a beautiful woman but won’t exploit it to gain fans or matches and probably the smartest woman in MMA. Rosi Sexton owns a doctorate in the math sciences from the prestigious Cambridge University and not being satisfied she’s currently 3/5’s of the way through earning a degree in osteopathy. Currently she owns a 9-1 record with her only defeat coming to Gina Carano.Carano incidentally came into the fight over the 135lbs limit.
I had the privilege of chatting with Ms. Sexton about her life and her career let’s have a look.
Rory Gold: I have to admit, while I was was researching your background I was so caught up in your doctorate, your other educational pursuits and the fact you are doing it all while raising a young son I forgot I was writing an MMA article. Honestly, I’m amazed at how you balance it all, do you have any secrets you can let me in on. Read the rest of this entry »
UFC 98 features an undefeated champ and an undefeated challenger, someone is going home with a loss.The UFC originally wanted the light-weight championship match to headline UFC 100 but after Frank Mir had to delay his bout with Brock Lesnar, Evans and Machida was pushed up to the May 23rd show.

Rachel Alexandra comes in as the 3/2 favorite followed by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and Derby runner up Pioneer of the Nile at 9/2.
This race looks to be wide open; if the track stays dry I expect a great race from Pioneer of the Nile and Friesan Fire. Friesan Fire finished a distant 19th in the Kentucky Derby anything less than placing will be a disappointment. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve just finished reading the Ori and Rom Brafman book Sway: the Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior, actually I’ve only finished the first chapter but for gambling purposes, I’ve never read a more rational explanation as to why gamblers chase their losses.
The owner of Bio-medical start up sold his company for stock in a much larger company. At $42 a share, the amount was enough for the man to retire on Martha’s Vineyard with a huge yacht and everything he would have needed. His investment advisor suggests that he cash out 10% at regular intervals and diversify his income so that his retirement dream will be assured. Read the rest of this entry »
How many times have you placed a big parlay only to have it lose on the final game? Sure, you’ve picked 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 6 but it still pays the same as if you went 1 for 5 because if you lose one game you lose the entire wager.
One of the reasons online sportsbooks can offer very high odds parlays is because its so difficult to pick one winner let alone pick 5. First, let’s have a look at how to calculate a parlay.
How to Calculate a Parlay
