Super Bowl Props: Do Your Homework
...Oddsmakers have had plenty of time to carefully scrutinize the last game of the football season, therefore the side and total are likely to be good numbers. You rarely see much line movement on Super Bowls. However, proposition bets offer bettors an excellent opportunity to find good bets and soft numbers. But you cant do guesswork, you have to do some homework.
Lets go through a prop and do some research on it. For instance, theres a line offered on the Steelers/Seahawks Super bowl this weekend that reads: What half will the most points be scored in? The second half opened +110. Is this a good number? Just thinking about what might happen, it seems to reason that both coaches, Mike Holmgren and Bill Cowher, are primarily ball control gurus. They look to establish their running games and control the clock. Perhaps the first half will be more conservative, with the second half more wide-open as the trailing team looks to catch up. But lets not stop there. Is there anything in recent hi...more

Never Let Go of Your Dreams or Goals: Compliments are Kryptonite, Doubters are Fuel
...Have you ever had someone doubt your abilities? Even subtly?
A friend, family member, a work mate and yes, maybe even someone you look up to.
The winter after my senior season I had one of these experiences I'll never forget. A conversation with my college linebacker coach, Steve Telander is a good example.
Ever since I was a young chap, I always wanted to play professional football.
In a discussion with T (as I called him) regarding playing at the next level he felt it his duty, to sit me down and have a talk. I wasn't getting the calls I expected from pro teams to play professionally. He felt it was his duty to break the news to me in a soft way by telling me a story. Story telling was one of 'T's' favorite ways of teaching.
Essentially, he was easing me down from perch of playing at the next level. And maybe to hang up my cleats and move on with my life.
You know, soften the blow a bit. Little did he know; he did the opposite.
Here's the story he shared with me.

FA Cup Fourth Round betting Review
...0 in league duty back in December. Greek international Stelios scored the decisive goal with six minutes remaining.
Shortest price of the day unsurprisingly was Chelsea at 1/2 but they will have spoiled a few betting coupons after a 1-1 draw at Everton. The Toffees, priced up as 11/2 before kick-off, took the lead through James McFadden but a 73 minute equaliser from Frank Lampard took the tie to a replay at Stamford Bridge.
League One high flyers Colchester United sent another Championship side packing in Derby County. Colchester were 11/8 favourites and found themselves 3-0 up through Neil Danns and Richard Garcia. A penalty from Tommy Smith 11 minutes from time was the Rams only reply.
Leyton Orient will have had their supporters at 10/1 to beat Ch...more
