My largest sports bet of the year dipped on Saturday night in Nuremberg but I guess that you already knew that. Although this has been my luck of late, I have had a string of losers recently that I haven’t mentioned. The first time I stick the moolah onto a Russian man mountain with all the credentials to do the job and he gets out foxed by my own bloody countryman…..typical.
But like I said on Saturday, the 2.15 that I got was value in my mind and I would still bet again if that fight was being re-run tomorrow. At the end of the day price is everything…..it is what you live and die by. The majority of competitors in most sporting events have a chance of winning……it is how much of a chance that you have to ascertain.
My own preference with sports betting is bet on sports where the draw is highly unlikely or impossible like Tennis and Boxing for example. This is unless I am bored of course and then I bet on anything 
But my method of cross referencing professional opinion and by that I mean people who know their trade and not newspaper tipsters (with a few notable exceptions) then I set about trying to figure when prices are out of whack with certain companies.
I don’t want to go too deeply into this but I use the price of 2.0 (Even money) as a framework to build around and commence from there……it has stood me in good stead for several years.
The amount of online poker has been taking a back seat lately although I did play a couple of hit and run heads up sessions last week and won around the $500 mark. I will be trying to get to play more poker but that is unlikely to happen this side of Christmas.
The final table of the 2009 main event is now coming down to the wire and I have been following it all intently. Its a ritual yearly thing now although had this happened a week ago then I would have missed everything. Darvin Moon seems to have made some bad moves but who can say what pressure can and does do to a guy so how can anyone criticize him or anyone else.
Catch you soon
