Now the Fun Starts...
It's a great time to be a sports fan, with playoff action just started in the NHL and around the corner in the NBA. As sports bettors ourselves, in many ways, we like the playoffs more than we do the regular season. Here's a few reasons why:
- Maximum effort - This is when games count. Every win is a big one, and no win is by enough points. In the playoffs, you can guarantee that teams will be going at 100% intensity, and for the sports bettor, that can only be a stabilizing factor. No one wants to have to guess whether Shaq will bring his "A" game for the Heat - in the playoffs, you know everyone is going to show up to play.
- Predictable lineups - In the regular season, particularly towards the end, it can be a gamble trying to guess whether one team's star will be in the lineup or not come game time. In the playoffs? It's going to have to be a HUGE injury to keep players out of the game. You know the regular starters for a basketball team will be on the floor at tip off, and you know they'll be on the floor late in the game, unless it's a blowout, in which case you've probably already won your wager.
- More even outcomes - Especially in the early rounds of the playoffs, the fact that teams have to win a best of 5 or best of 7 series tends to balance out "upsets." If an underdog wins, they're for real. Simply put, the "series" format evens the playing field. Look for the heavy favorites to show why they're respected in the early rounds.
If you're like us, we know you'll be glued to your TV as the drama unfolds on the ice and on the hardwood. Consider making a Series Wager with GoSportsBet - you'll get money back if you lose!
$1 MINIMUMS. ALWAYS. Up to 12 team parlays. BET ON IT.

This Week: Hansel Wei on Betting Props. Read the whole article in Hansel's Zone at GoSportsBet.
Props are generally far more outlandish than futures. Futures can be handicapped by analyzing rosters, looking at trends over the course of a season (eg. “oh, the Yankees always play well in August and September), or comparing a team to divisional rivals. When it comes to props, though, you can sometimes make the case that no one can predict the outcome, perhaps not even the person being wagered on! A month before the Oscars, does Halle Berry know what color dress she’s going to wear? Probably not. Does 50 Cent know if he’s going to go to jail before the end of the year? One would hope not! As you might imagine, props tend to be more entertaining than serious investments. Particularly when it comes to the more outrageous props (people serving jail time, future arrests, celebrity marriages/divorces, fan-selected awards such as the Teen Choice Awards, etc,) one should approach these as pure entertainment. If you’re looking to strictly increase your bankroll, then, as I’ve said before, you should stick to traditional straight wagers. You are unlikely to find better odds in your favor than the 11 to 10 you usually risk for a straight bet. However, props can be far more entertaining than straight wagers, and can deal with subjects outside the sporting world. Often a group of friends will plan to follow an event, and to make things more interesting, each will pick a “player” and put a small amount of money on that player. For instance, one year a group of buddies and I each chose one of the films nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, and we each put $10...

This Week: Pai Gow
Pai Gow is played with a 53-card deck consisting of a standard 52-card deck with 1 wild card. The object of the game is to split your hand into a five-card hand and a two card hand with both hands beating the dealer's two hands to win. The wild card can only be used as an ace or as the fifth card in a straight or a flush.
After you receive your seven cards you must split them into two hands, a five-card hand and a two-card hand. The five-card hand must always rank higher than the two-card hand. To split your hand move the mouse pointer over the cards you want to make your two-card hand. Click on the two cards one at a time and they will split out of the deck. Notice that once you have chosen an eligible two-card hand (not better than your five-card hand) the split button becomes available. If you are happy with your choice click on this split button and you will have your two playing hands. If you are not satisfied with your choices click on the card or cards which you want to change and they will go back into your seven-card hand. Now choose the new cards you wish to play with. You may do this until you press the split button at which point your hands are locked-in. The dealer will then split his hand and the game will play itself out.

TriviaTime Answer:
C) Masanori Murakami saw success as a reliever for the San Francisco Giants from 1964 to 1965. He was responsible for opening up the Pacific Rim to MLB but it wasn't until Hideo Nomo debuted with the Dodgers in 1995 that another Japanese pitcher landed in the majors.
