2007 Belmont Stakes Betting Preview
Fear Factor Rears Its Head in
Welcome to 2007 horse racing's Fear Factor. The television series that ran from 2001 through last year captured the attention of many viewers.
Racing's version goes back many decades. I'm talking years and years. But the measure of success depends on your point of view. Let me count the ways.
In '73, only four horses challenged Secretariat in the third leg of his Triple Crown sweep for obvious reasons. Five years later the same number tried to derail Affirmed's gallop into Triple Crown history, among them Alydar, the runner-up all three times.
Fast forward to '94, when Go for Gin won the Kentucky Derby and Tabasco Cat took the Preakness. Only four others challenged the pair in the
Three years later, Silver Charm and Free House scared away challengers and only five showed up. Unfortunately, one of them was Touch Gold, who denied Silver Charmer the Triple Crown by three-quarters of a length.

Big Brothers Back!!
Our Brothers Back
The 'greatest' TV show ever created returns to our screens tonight and we're so excited (well Paddy Power is).
Once again it will probably be filled with nutter's, transsexuals and the obligatory Irishman however thrown altogether it creates some quality TV.
DJ Spiral represented the Irish in last years show and duly embarrassed the whole nation with his rhyming vocals.
As the official bookmaker to the show, Paddy Power were given a sneak peak at this years list of contestants and it looks like there will be another Irish idiot taking part.
Then again they could be lying or as usual just making stuff up!
You'll have to tune in to Channel 4 tonight to be sure, to be sure.

The G-Spot: - So Many Styles
In the second of our articles on "The G-Spot", we take a look at the importance of knowing your opponents style
One of my favorite rap songs of all time is Raekwon’s Guillotine (Swordz). Halfway through the song, a clip from the martial arts move Shaolin vs. Lama is sampled. In it, the following dialogue occurs:
Combatant 1: “Weren’t you just using the Wu-Tang school method against me?”
Combatant 2: “I’ve learned so many styles. Forgive me.”
Read on, and you’ll see how this is related to poker.
First Impressions Last
Whatever happens during your first few hands at a table sticks for quite awhile. Most of your opponents will take whatever information they observe from you in your first five to ten minutes at the table, and they’ll use it to assign a player profile to you…a profile that they’ll use to make decisions against you.
Once a player has assigned such a profile to you, he usually won’t change it unless something surprising happens. Your opponents usually won’t suspect you of changing gears because, especially at lower and middle limits, most players aren’t capable of changing gears.
Master Many StylesKnow how your opponents perceive you, and take advantage by changing gears appropriately........to read rest of article visit The Poker Betting Column at The Betting Directory.

Wise Hand of The Day
The Betting Directory are pleased to announce that they have arranged with leading poker information site, Wise Hand Poker, to bring you their “The Wise Hand Of The Day” - a professionally written analysis of the hands that happened on the biggest tournaments in the World.
The latest one is from when Johnny Chan defeated Erik Seidel at the 1988 World Series of Poker to win his second consecutive world title. He was the last man to win two, let alone two in a row, but that wasn’t what made the clip of the final hand iconic; it was it’s bronzing as the ultimate hand of poker in 1998’s Rounders that set it apart from the others.

Poker Strategy Software
With the increase in popularity of online gambling, a new contender in the online poker industry has appeared on the scene: strategy software.
Strategy software has actually been around for ages, but has recently made new advancements to help poker players with their online playing abilities. The latest advancement in strategy software is a development that actually reads your cards as you play and helps you develop a winning strategy by providing logical and mathematical advice set to your playing style.
The main purpose of this type of strategy software is helping online poker players make educated decisions, quicker. These programs have been designed to be used in conjunction with online casino software, in a separate window running side-by-side with the actual playing table. The software programs use packet sniffing to virtually load every card you see at the poker table into the software. Almost all features about these programs are automated these days. You no longer have to manually select your hole card and board cards; the software does it all on the fly. The software will then display odds and offer advice and recommendations on each hand, depending upon the type of playing style you have set the software to use.
Using this type of software can benefit many different types of players in many different ways.
For newer players, these programs are very good tools to help you better understand pot odds, betting patterns, pot commitment, playing styles, and much more. Using these programs is almost like having a professional playing alongside you; you can easily advance your knowledge of the game in a short amount of time while gaining quality playing time experience.
If you’re a veteran or a more experienced player, you can still find great ways to use strategy software. Playing online can often require extremely quick thinking before timing out at a table. If you find yourself not having enough time to calculate pot odds and make logical decisions, these programs will help you tremendously. No matter how talented a player might be, this type of software can be beneficial….to read the rest of this article, visit The Betting Directory.Labels: betting, casinos, gambling, poker
Will Miss Venezuela reign again?
WagerWeb posts odds on the 2007 Miss Universe Pageant.
Every year men tune into the Miss Universe beauty pageant to ogle the women during the swimsuit and evening-gown competitions. This year those same men can get a glimpse at some of the most beautiful women in the world, and also make some cash thanks to WagerWeb.com.
Known as one of the premier suppliers of great betting odds for sports and entertainment events, WagerWeb.com has bolstered their odds offerings once again by releasing odds on this year’s Miss Universe Pageant.
This year’s competition will be held on Monday, May 28, at the National Auditorium in Mexico City. Currently 77 candidates will be vying for the 2007 Miss Universe crown, which was won last year by Zuleyka Jerris Rivera Mendoza from Puerto Rico. Mendoza’s reign will end on Monday night and the oddsmakers at WagerWeb have crunched the numbers and scoured the pictures to come up with come up with Miss Venezuela, Ly Jonaitis, as our 2007 Miss Universe favorite at +700.
Some of this year’s celebrity judges that will be deciding who wears the crown include Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo, rock guitarist Dave Navarro, figure skater Michelle Kwan and Deal or No Deal briefcase model Lindsay Clubine. All of those judges are American, which could possibly give Miss America Rachel Smith an advantage. Also in Miss America’s favor is the fact that Americans have taken home the title of Miss Universe a record seven times.

The G-Spot - Pleasure Your Poker Profits
Adjust Reads From Tight To Loose
No matter what specific variant of poker you’re playing, playing profitable poker is all about mastering the following process:
1. Put your opponents on hand distributions
2. Evaluate your own hand (or put yourself on a hand distribution if you’re playing a game like Blind Man’s Bluff)
3. Predict how your opponents will respond to every possible action you can make
4. Pick the most profitable line of play based on #1-#3
Today, we’ll focus on putting your opponents on hand distributions when you first sit at a table.
Default Distributions
Putting your opponents on hand distributions is all about reading your opponents’ betting patterns and picking off their physical tells. You don’t really have the ability to put your opponents on hand distributions until you’ve carefully observed them play for a few orbits. Does this mean that you should fold the first forty or fifty hands you’re dealt?
Hell no…especially if you’re playing at a shorthanded table or in a tournament. The good news is that you actually have information about players you’ve never seen in your life. Before you even play a single hand, you have all your past poker playing experience to draw upon, meaning that you can assign a default playing profile to each opponent before you see the table play a single hand. This default profile will be the average of all the poker players you typically face............to read rest of article visit The Poker Betting Column at The Betting Directory.

Big Brother 2007
This summer, Big Brother returns to Channel 4 and E4 with an even bigger eighth series. On Wednesday 30 May, a brand new gaggle of housemates will move into a transformed Big Brother house and viewers will be able to watch their every move on both Channel 4, E4 and online.
Launch night, as always, is essential viewing. In a special live show hosted by Davina McCall, viewers will finally discover the identities of the new housemates. Stepping out of the cars, greeting the crowd and clinging to just a few worldly possessions, each housemate will walk through the house doors into a brand new house. Once they do, the unsuspecting group have no idea what Big Brother has in store for them. The second the famous doors shut behind them, the fun and frolics will most certainly begin. As they wave goodbye to the outside world, the housemates will dwell side by side, abiding by strict rules, taking part in elaborate tasks and nominating each other for eviction. All under the cheeky glint of Big Brother’s all-seeing eye.
This year also sees the return of E4’s hit spin-off shows Big Brother’s Little Brother and Big Brother’s Big Mouth, plus a brand new double-bill for Sunday nights on Channel 4 including a one-hour show hosted by Davina McCall called Big Brother on the Couch.

2007 UFC 71-Liddell vs. Jackson

Since his loss to Rampage, Liddell has torn through the UFC with seven straight victories. All seven wins have come by knockout or TKO and have included two knockouts of Randy Couture and two TKO's of Tito Ortiz. Liddell is known as an excellent striker with pure power and he can also take out his opponent with quick accurate leg strikes. He's a well-rounded grappler, but if he has one weakness it would be on the ground in the octagon. If Liddell has his way the only thing on the ground will be

2007 UEFA Cup Final
The clear favorite heading into this match is Sevilla. They're the defending UEFA Cup champions and have had a much better season in the Spanish soccer league than Espanyol has had. Sevilla still has a real chance at winning the Spanish league title, as they sit only two points out of first place. If Sevilla could capture that title it would be a huge upset over frontrunners Barcelona and Real Madrid.
In the UEFA Cup Final the players to watch for on the Sevilla side include Fredi Kanoute, Luis Fabiano and Javier Chevanton. This lethal trio makes up one of the top strikeforces in the soccer world and so far in the UEFA they have been performing up to par, especially Fabiano who netted a goal in Sevilla's semifinal clincher versus Osasuna.
Sevilla also boasts one of the best midfielders in Daniel Alves. Alves is a superb setup man and has notched 16 assists this 2007 soccer season. Even with Alves at midfield, Sevilla could have a question mark at the position if Adriano Correia isn't ready to go. The Brazilian is a dynamic defensive presence, but has missed Sevillla's last two soccer games due to a strained thigh muscle. Adriano is expected back for the final, but he may not be at 100 percent.
For Espanyol to win this match they'll need more magic from Walter Pandiani. The striker from Uruguay was brought over from Birmingham City this year and so far the move has really paid off. Pandiani is the UEFA Cup scoring leader with 11 goals. If Pandiani can continue to find the back of the net with regularity and Espanyol can get something out of their other goal scorers ? Luis Garcia and Tamudo ? then they could have an upset on their hands. Espanyol should have plenty of motivation to bring the UEFA Cup home because it's unlikely they'll even be in the running for it next season. Espanyol currently sits in 12th place in the Spanish league, but only the Top 6 soccer teams earn a spot in the UEFA Cup next season.
In last year's UEFA Cup Final played at Philips Satadion in Eindhoven, Sevilla trounced Middlesbrough 4-0. Fabiano scored Sevilla's first goal in the win, while Mareca scored twice and Kanoute buried the fourth goal of the game. Sevilla and Espanyol last met up way back on December 3, 2006 when Espanyol upset Sevilla 2-1. Kanoute gave Seville an early lead at the 25th minute in that game, but Garcia tied it up for Espanyol at the 68th minute. Kameni scored what turned out to be the game-winner for Espanyol in the 79th minute. Another close game is expected between the two Spanish clubs on Wednesday.

Bill introduced to study online gambling
WASHINGTON, DC — In another effort to roll back an Internet gambling ban, Rep. Shelley Berkley on Thursday introduced a bill calling for a one-year study of online wagering by the National Academy of Sciences.
“One of the advantages of this legislation is that it doesn’t take a side,” she said. “It doesn’t say Internet gambling is good or bad. It says ‘Let’s study the issue.’ ”
But Berkley, D-Nev., acknowledged she wants to repeal the Internet gambling ban approved last year by Congress.
“It’s very difficult to unring a bell once it has rung in Washington,” Berkley said. “But the ban was sneaked onto a port security bill, and the people who voted for it, including myself, were not contemplating a ban on Internet gambling.”
The measure was passed and signed into law in October.
Berkley’s bill comes one week after Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., proposed legislation to repeal the Internet gambling ban and require the Department of Treasury to regulate the $13 billion online wagering industry…..(to read rest of article, visit The Betting Directory.Labels: betting, casinos, gambling, poker, politics, slots

The 2007 Indianapolis 500
The 2007 Indy 500 may still be just over two weeks away, but Wheldon is already tearing up the practice sessions. In a rain-shortened second day of practice on Wednesday, Wheldon became the first driver this month to break the 226-mph mark at Indy. Wheldon took only seven laps to post a fastest lap of 226.391 mph (39.7543 seconds), which topped his leading time posted on the first practice day.
Wheldon isn't in the clear yet though, as the rest of the field still has time to reach the crucial 226-mph mark and steal the $100,000 pole award away from him. Two-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves was the closest challenger to Wheldon on Wednesday after posting a sizzling 225.820 mph (39.8548 seconds). No other driver was able to crack 225 mph, with Wheldon's Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon posting the next-best time at 224.902 mph (40.0175 seconds).
Marco Andretti, looking to break the Andretti jinx at
The driver with the most eyes on her at all times, Danica Patrick, will need to find a way to boost her speed by the time raceday rolls around if she finally hopes to make it to the winner's circle. Patrick's AGR teammate Dario Franchitti came seventh on Wednesday after posting a time of 223.844 (40.2065 seconds), which was two places better than Patrick's time. Patrick was ninth best on the day with a top time of 223.476 mph (40.2728 seconds).
A 0.418-second differential may not seem like much, but it can actually be an eternity in car racing. Marco Andretti would have loved to be an extra 0.418 seconds below his Indy 500 time in last year's race, considering only 0.0635 seconds separated him from a place alongside his famous grandfather Mario as an Indy 500 champion.

Paris Hilton hits the slammer! WagerWeb.com posts betting odds on the heiress’ 45 days in prison.
Naughty socialite Paris Hilton has been sentenced to 45 days in jail, and while her lawyers scramble to file an appeal before she is compelled to suit up in orange prison garb on June 5, WagerWeb is pleased to announce some exciting prop bets on what will happen to Hilton while she’s in the clink.
WagerWeb.com, one of the Internet’s top gambling sites, is well-known for providing its customers with the best odds on everything from sports to entertainment to politics. And they’ve bolstered their offerings once again with the release of their Paris Hilton props.
Hilton, 26, was sentenced late last week for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. You can get +500 odds that Paris will announce that jail is “hot” at WagerWeb. And if she finds it so hot that she can’t contain herself, you can get +2000 odds that Hilton will come out with a -One Night in Jail- sex tape.
Forget the lust for a minute. Maybe you think Hilton will find her soul mate in the all-woman county jail, and if so you might want to place a prop bet at +10000 odds that Paris will fall in love with a fellow inmate. Of course, if the passion quickly turns sour, you can get +400 odds that Paris will be caught attempting to escape, and +15000 odds that the ditzy blonde will manage a successful escape.
Regardless of the jail sentence currently on the books, WagerWeb is also offering prop bets on what will happen with Paris prior to December 31, 2007. For example, you can get +175 odds that the party animal will be charged with drunk driving again by December 31. Or if you prefer the long shots, you might want to play the prop bet that Hilton will become a brain surgeon by the end of the year, at a whopping +15000.
Here is the complete list of prop odds currently available at WagerWeb for what will happen to everybody’s favorite hotel heiress, Paris Hilton.
Outcome of Paris Hilton stint in jail betting odds are:

Preakness Is a Most Historic Triple Crown Jewel
Ulysses S. Grant was president, the
In 1868, Maryland Gov. Oden Bowie and his friends, prominent racing figures, agreed at a dinner party in
Both
Two years later, the Dinner Party Stakes was launched for 3-year-old colts and fillies at two miles. It's now known as the Dixie Handicap. In 1873, Pimlico introduced a new race for 3-year-olds named for the inaugural Dinner Stakes winner: Preakness.
On a warm, muggy May 27, seven horses raced 1 ½ miles before a crowd of 12,000. The winner of the first Preakness was Survivor, who stormed home by 10 lengths, the largest margin of victory for 13 decades until Smarty Jones cruised to an 11 ½-length victory.
The race, at 12 furlongs until 1890 except for 1 ¼ miles in 1889, has been run at seven different distances from a mile to 1 1/8 miles until 1924. The next year, the current 1 3/16 miles was inaugurated.
In '06, a record 118,402 turned out for the Preakness - the largest crowd to witness a sporting event in
