Denver Beats Portland In NBA Action

by Ross Everett

Carmello Anthony scored 41 points and the Denver Nuggets used a second half comeback to give the Portland Trailblazers a rare 97-94 loss at their Rose Garden Arena home venue on Thursday night. The Blazers held a 67-62 lead heading into the final quarter but for the second time in as many games had trouble putting their opponent away. Brandon Roy led Portland with 30 points, and Greg Oden was the high rebounder for the home team with 9 boards. Portland is now 1-1 on the young NBA season, while Denver improved to 2-0.

NBA pointspread players who took Denver as +8 road underdogs enjoyed their outright victory and the ensuing payday. The Nuggets have covered the number in both of their victories this season, while Portland evened their ATS mark at 1-1.

After the game, Anthony was happier about the victory than his personal offensive outburst:

South Florida Upsets West Virginia In College Football

by Ross Everett

Redshirt freshman quarterback B.J. Daniels threw for three touchdowns and the South Florida Bulls used a tenacious defensive effort to upset visiting West Virginia 30-19 on Friday night. Daniels threw for 232 yards and rushed for 104, compiling more yardage individually than West Virginia amassed as a team. Both teams are now 6-2 on the season.

College football betting aficionados who took the Bulls as +3 home underdogs cashed their tickets with the outright victory. Despite their 6-2 record, West Virginia dropped to 2-5 against the spread in their lined games this season while South Florida evened their college football pointspread record at 3-3 in their lined contests. The 49 combined points barely managed to go OVER the posted total of 47′.

Daniels had this rebuke for his team’s doubters after the victory:

“I guess a lot of people doubted us and thought we were going to go down the same patch we did the last two years. That was a lot of garbage that our team didn’t listen to.”

We’ve all had them arrive unannounced and uninvited into our email inboxes, the hoax emails claiming to to be from one of the many lottery organizations around the world and advising us that we have won a lot of money. They generally misrepresent legitimate operators than run lotteries for governments or provide a service like selling UK lottery tickets to people in other countries. In truth these people have no connection to the legitimate operators. Be very careful, these are usually scams of the the type often referred to as advance-fee fraud. Their goal is to actually get money from you while pretending to be contacting you in order to give you money.

So how does one ensure that a notification is genuine and not fall for the tricks of these con artists. A fake lottery notification can be identified by a few tell-tale signs. Look for them and you can greatly lower your risk of being taken for a ride and losing money.

The Online Casino: An Introduction

by Angelo Bucco

You may think that gambling is gambling and that it does not matter if you are online or offline. The rules are the same, you may argue. I would have to concede that this is true. The rules are the same, but that is where the similarity ends. The strategy you use to win at an online casino is different than the strategy you use when you play in person at a real casino. If you do not understand the strategic differences your chances of winning are decreased.

Online Versus Brick-And-Mortar

The first obvious difference that hardly even needs mentioning is the fact that when you play online you are sitting in the comfort of your living room clicking a mouse. There is none of the physical and sensory input: the sights and sounds of being in a real casino. You do not hold the cards or the money in your hands, for instance.
