Hall of Fame 2007 NFL Game Preview
It’s almost here!
The 2007 NFL preseason kicks off on Sunday, August 5 when the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrate their 75th anniversary by taking on the New Orleans Saints.
The neutral-site game at Canton, Ohio will mark the first time in more than a decade that the Steelers take to the field without Bill Cowher on the sidelines. New head coach Mike Tomlin will hope to get his career started with a win, but seeing how this is a preseason game, he’ll more likely be happy to get through the game without an injury to one of his key players.
Neither the Steelers nor the Saints made any huge moves on the field during the offseason. The Saints didn’t have much retooling to do after winning the NFC South last year, but the Steelers looked due for a few changes after a disappointing 8-8 season......to read full article visit NFL News at the Betting Directory.

The G-Spot: Sizing Your Preflop Raises
When it comes to preflop raises in no-limit hold’em, many players look for rigid guidelines. They want rules such as “raise to three big blinds if you’re the first to enter the pot and add an additional big blind for each limper.” With only 169 possible starting hands, such guidelines for preflop play are seemingly possible. However, no two games are the same when playing poker hands. You should have some basic guidelines for when you’re facing unknown opponents. But once you get a better feeling for how your opponents play, you should optimize your preflop play accordingly.
What’s the Going Rate?
As soon as you sit at a table, your only job is to acquire as much information as possible. One key piece of information will be the going rate for preflop raises. See how much other players are raising to and how the players at your table respond to raises of different amounts. In many online games, opening for a raise to three big blinds will usually win you the blinds uncontested or leave you shorthanded postflop. Meanwhile, in many live games, opening to three big blinds may result in you being in a multiway pot postflop (the $100NL, $200NL, and $400NL games at Commerce, LA’s Friendliest Casino, immediately come to mind).....to read rest of this article visit the Poker Betting Column at the Betting Directory.

2007 Allstate 400 Auto Racing at the Brickyard
With seven auto races remaining before The Chase begins, NASCAR rolls into Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard.
Jeff Gordon continues to hold a comfortable lead in the driver standings heading into the weekend and he's the favorite at the Brickyard, but not just because of his points lead. Ever since NASCAR started holding a race at Indy in 1994, Gordon has had the most success of any driver on the track. Since winning NASCAR's inaugural race at Indy in 1994, Gordon has seen the checkered flag at the Brickyard three more times with his last win coming there in 2004. The only other driver to win more than once at Indy during that span was Dale Jarrett, who crossed the finish line first in both 1996 and 1999....to read rest of article visit NASCAR NEWS at the Betting Directory.

2007 Canadian Open Golf Betting Preview
Even though this tournament takes place a week after the British Open and just two weeks before the PGA Championship, the field isn't totally lacking star power. Jim Furyk is back to defend the Canadian Open title he won last season at Hamilton Golf and Country Club.
Furyk shot a 14-under par last year to edge Bart Bryant by one stroke. Some other big names slated to be in attendance at Angus Glen this weekend include Vijay Singh, who won the Open in 2004 at Glen Abbey, Mark Calcavecchia, 2005 Open champion at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club and Canadian Mike Weir.
Weir may be Canada's best hope to win the homeland open this weekend after finishing tied for eighth at last weekend's British Open. Weir also tied for eighth two weeks earlier at the AT&T National, marking his only Top 10 finishes this season....to read rest of article visit Golf News at the Betting Directory.

Whitney Handicap: All in the Family for Decades
The Whitney Handicap isn't very old compared to other Saratoga stakes like the Travers. When Black Mania won the inaugural in 1928, Petee-Wrack captured the 64th Travers.
But the Whitney is historic in its own right, named for a family whose horses have won every major race in the United States. Harry Payne Whitney's Regret was the first filly to capture the Kentucky Derby in '15 and earned Horse of the Year honors.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, most often referred to as C. V., inherited his father's stable in '30 and became the third generation of Whitneys heavily involved in horse racing.
On May 17 that year, five months before the elder Whitney passed away, his 2-year-old Equipoise won the Keene Memorial at Belmont Park. Called the Chocolate Soldier by fans because of his elegance and symmetry, Equipoise had his juvenile season cut short by a hoof crack and only ran three-times as a 3-year-old.
But at 4 and 5, C. V., called 'Sonny' by close friends, cashed in when Equipoise captured a slew of stakes, including the Whitney in '32 with a purse of $5,400. Equipoise also was Horse of the Year for the first of two consecutive times..... to read rest of article go to Horse Racing News at the Betting Directory.

The G-Spot: How Much Should You Buy in for in a No-Limit Game?
Poker writers have traditionally advocated having as many chips on the table as possible if you’re better than your opponents. In fact, I’ve been one of those writers (check out my book, Killer Poker By The Numbers for example). I’ve also been a poker writer with a reputation for preaching flexibility and the willingness to adapt to the perpetually changing poker climate, and staying true to that philosophy, my thoughts regarding buy-ins have evolved.
What’s Your Goal When Playing No-Limit Hold’em?
When playing no-limit hold’em poker hands, your goal is to optimize your hourly win rate. Fine, playing should also be fun, but it’s definitely more fun when you win. Winning is about making good decisions, and after table selection, your next choice is determining how much you should buy-in for....to read rest of this article, visit the Poker Betting Column at the Betting Directory.

The G-Spot: Some Merits of Calling
"If it's good enough to call with, then you should raise," cry the pundits. This advice is from poker's hands past...saying this is like saying that the best way to start a fire is to rub two sticks together! Most games will require you to trend aggressive, but completely ignoring the potential merits of passive play in certain circumstances is a big mistake.
Calling Is Sometimes the Best Way to Extract Maximum Value
Suppose you're in position against a highly aggressive and observant opponent who has the tendency to fire two bullets when he bluffs. He raises preflop, and you call in position. You flop top-pair/top kicker.
If you have a somewhat tight image, a raise on the flop might induce your opponent to fold immediately, meaning that you won't get any further value from your hand. By just calling, you risk the possibility that your opponent will catch up on the turn. But since your call on the flop keeps the pot small, losing the occasional pot when your opponent catches up isn't a disaster. In the long run, calling and inducing certain aggressive opponents to bet into you on later betting rounds can be more profitable than showing aggression immediately.....to read rest of article visit Poker Betting Column at the Betting Directory.

Poker - The G-Spot: Ragged Aces
Whenever you make a decision, you need a clear map of all the possible ways a hand can play out after your decision. Preflop, you need to project how action will traspire across all betting rounds for every type of possible board. You need to take your opponents’ playing styles and poker hands into account, and you need to be aware of the type of information you’ll need to acquire as the hand progresses.
Ragged aces look deceptively good to many players. In Killer Poker By The Numbers, I talk about hit-to-win poker, a style in which you're looking simply to hit hands and extract maximum value when you do so. It's important to master many styles, but in loose fullhanded games, hit-to-win is typically the winning style. If you're playing hit-to-win poker, ragged aces aren’t playable.
What Do You Do When You Hit The Flop?
Suppose you flop a pair with a hand like A5.......to read rest of this article visit the Poker Betting Column at The Betting Directory.Labels: betting, casinos, gambling, playing poker, poker
Get Ready for the 2007 NFL Season: NFL offseason moves
The moves that will likely have the biggest impact on how things shake down were made by the New England Patriots. New England must not like watching other AFC teams play in the Super Bowl, because they did all they could to make sure they return to the big show this NFL season. Last season, Tom Brady's receiving corps was very weak. This year he may have too many options when he passes.
The Pats added once-elite wideout Randy Moss, who could be a huge steal if he can revert back to something close to the numbers he produced in Minnesota. Also added were Donte' Stallworth and Wes Welker. Stallworth is a bit of an injury risk, but he's a reliable receiver and a deep threat when healthy. Welker is a great No. 3 receiver because he's quick out of the slot and can find defensive holes. The addition of linebacker Adalius Thomas on defense should improve a Pats' D that was already one of the best in the league......to read rest of this article visit NFL News at The Betting Directory

Boxing Rematch: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Lamon Brewster
For anyone not familiar with the nicknames currently gracing boxing's largely nondescript heavyweight ranks, Dr. Steelhammer is current IBF and IBO title-holder Wladimir Klitschko, while the man they call Relentless is challenger Lamon Brewster. This will be the second time these two fighters will clash, and Klitschko will be out to avenge a defeat from three years ago. In that initial matchup back on April 10, 2004, Brewster won the vacant WBO Heavyweight title after delivering a fifth-round knockout to Klitschko.
That boxing fight is remembered for more than the mere fact that Brewster won the title. Klitschko easily won the first four rounds after dominating Brewster with an onslaught of punches, which included knocking Brewster down at the end of the fourth round. In the fifth round, Brewster......to read remainder of article, visit Boxing News at The Betting Directory

2007 NASCAR Pepsi 400
The Nextel Cup Series returns to Daytona International Speedway this weekend, where Kevin Harvick will be looking for his second win at Daytona this season in the Pepsi 400.
Five months ago Harvick won the Daytona 500 by a fender over Mark Martin at the finish line. Harvick hasn’t claimed the checkered flag on the Nextel Cup circuit since, but he does have seven Top 10 finishes and a pair of victories in the Busch Series.
The favorite in the second go-round at Daytona will likely be Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart. Point’s leader Jeff Gordon just missed his fifth win of the season at New Hampshire last weekend and had to settle for second place behind Denny Hamlin. Gordon has the most wins of any active driver at Daytona, having won there six times during his career. The last time Gordon saw the checkered flag at Daytona was in the 2005 Daytona 500, while his last 400-mile race win at Daytona came back in 2004…….to read rest of article visit NASCAR NEWS at the Betting Directory.
