A critic came back after the first week or so gleaming over the fact the technique zagged and sagged more than it zigged. It lost money. Then as the playoffs went on, the proponent got the last laugh while the cynic wrote articles on other topics telling you he is smarter than everyone else.

Having been in the industry since the 1980s and having been a supporter of computer systems since prominent statistician Dr. Mike Orkin wrote his Pointspread Analyzer software, where does Center of the Handicapping Universe stand?

We agree with the theory, but less so the etched-in-stone considerations. First of all, let us give a quick refresher of the difference. A system can be measured objectively because the parameters are concrete. The zigzag is an example. Going with a double digit favorite off a single digit loss would be another hypothetical.

Of course there can be modest variances depending on when and where a database gathers lines, but over any statistically significant period it does not make a huge difference.

A theory is much like a system but does not have objective parameters. Our theory is the better the team is that the zigzag system favors and the bigger the margin the loss was, the more compelling it is to “go with the team off a loss.”

True one could come up with a system to measure our upgrading of the methodology. An example would be going with a team with a winning percentage of .575 or higher off a loss of eight or more. The problem is we believe a mental sliding scale combining and most importantly, weighing the two factors works best. It allows for a mixing and matching of the two parameters.

For example, this year as in most years, it would not apply or would only be weighed slightly if we are talking about the bottom three seeds in each conference off a loss. There is a reason they are called “mismatches”.

No. 4 versus five and the next three rounds of the playoffs (barring huge first round upsets), it is weighed much heavier. Remember we told you the mocker grew conspicuously quieter as the postseason went on. Now you know why.

It’s one of those theories that almost make too much sense. During the regular season of every sport we remind you of the Golden Rule to not merely go with the “team that needs it more” if said team is fighting just to make the playoffs.

We call attention to the fact if a team were proficient at winning “must win” games they would not be playing in must-win games late in the year.

Conversely, a one through five seed, especially as the playoffs go deeper, has shown the ability to rebound from adversity and respond when their backs are to the wall.

To the handicapper there is a titanic difference between desperate elite teams and equally desperate inferior teams playing in a crucial contest. It’s like the difference between seeing Jennifer Lopez and Rosie O’Donnell in a string bikini.

Okay, I don’t follow the analogy myself, but the exemplification of the distinction is infallible. From a handicapping standpoint one can’t measure the success of the zigzag if Phoenix coming off a loss is given the same weight (no pun intended Rosie) as Washington or Golden State following a setback.

Likewise, the margin of the loss is applicable for at least two obvious reasons. As we have said many times, nothing affects public perception more than the last game they have seen. It’s not uncommon for a blowout in the previous game to influence an opening line by 2-3 points and more times than not, the closing line by more.

Many websites allow players to create and make their own bingo cards, using the website’s software. This is very easy and users can usually choose how many blocks they want on their cards, i.e. a 5×5 or a 9×9 grid.

Although using the software from these websites makes creating your own bingo cards easy, your cards will not be completely unique. For unique bingo cards, you have to create your own homemade ones. Making your own bingo cards can be lots of fun and all your friends and family can join in the venture.

All you need to make your own bingo cards are paper, preferably thick paper, a ruler, pencil and a few colored markers.

First you have to decide on the size of the grid of your bingo card. Then you use the ruler and the pencil and draw the card on the paper. Ensure that the blocks on your bingo card are all the same size. When you have finished drawing, you can darken all the pencil lines with a marker. Cut out the whole card, without cutting into the border of the card. Write down different numbers on your cards, varying between 1 and 75.

When finished with your bingo cards, you have to make the numbers for the caller to draw. Cut out even sized squares from the thick paper. Write a number, from 1 to 75, on each square. These numbers can be thrown in a hat or a box for the caller to draw.

The solution is an icebreaker game, such as icebreaker bingo. Not only are icebreaker bingo lots of fun, it can keep guests busy for hours and help the host to introduce all the guests to each other.

The goal of the icebreaker bingo game is to get guests to ask each other questions in order to fill their bingo cards. This way guests can speak to each other and get to know each other without feeling pressured or uncomfortable. They learn personal details of each other’s lives and will soon feel they have something in common.

Making icebreaker bingo cards is easy, but do require a bit of time. The same amount of cards as guests is needed, although it is always a good idea to prepare a few extra cards in case unexpected guests arrive at the party. An icebreaker bingo card usually consists out of 25 (5X5) or 36 (9×9) even-sized blocks. Inside every block the host can write short phrases like “played college football”, “has a pet reptile”, “has been to Hawaii”, “loves reading” and “has a tattoo”. Another option is to search for ready-made cards online. Most of these sites use a random card generator, which means that all the cards will be different.

The aim of the game is to have the guests ask each other the questions on their cards. As soon as they find someone with, for example, a tattoo, they write that person’s name on the appropriate block. The first guest to fill their bingo card is the winner of the game. Another good idea is to offer a prize to the winner of the icebreaker bingo game. The prize can be anything from a yearbook if it is a reunion to a special gift at a Christmas of birthday party.

The intention is to let game last as long as possible, because guests are talking and interacting with each other.

The first one could be easier for a beginner while the latter will involve more. Baseball games are just as popular as the NFL is, but there are some differences between these sports. NFL doesn’t have games everyday, while baseball does. This can be a positive aspect or not. Baseball betting as well as NFL betting can be influenced by this aspect in equal amounts. While bettors can build up some excitement expecting the NFL game at the end of the week, baseball betting can take place everyday. Some say that NFL betting is more popular because you can immediately identify the star players in a game of this kind while it is more difficult to do that with other sports. Another difference between these sports is the fact that NFL betting popularity can be influenced by parity. Each team has a chance to win every season thus increasing the number of bettors and fans who hope that perhaps the team which represents their city will be the best this time. The situation is discussable for baseball betting as well, but the public is the one who decides whether they are more into football than into baseball betting.

Let’s say you are a gambling beginner and you want to know some basics about baseball betting. What do you need to know? A first step is to understand how to read the money the line as this is the primary wagering option for you. This means betting on the straight–up game outcome with less to no consideration for a point spread. The money line is used for an increased sum risked for baseball betting on the expected winner than on the less appreciated team. The purpose of the oddsmakers is to balance the action for both sides. A critical factor you need to know of when baseball betting is the importance of starting pitching. While smart NFL betting is done considering only the team with most chances of victory, baseball betting offers a double chance by finding a winning edge with either the team or the pitching match-ups. This is why oddsmakers always have the starting pitchers in mind when making the money line. They play an important role in the outcome of the game and, thus, in your winning chances.

After learning how things work with baseball betting, about terms like “vigorish”, “juice” and “dime line”, tips are necessary to keep you on the winning side. A source of information will tell you to consider betting baseball totals. Another one will advise about giving special attention to left handed players – “Whether they are pitchers or hitters, they will be trouble for the opposition and they will bring you luck”. Although, there are many things a winner must pay attention to, baseball betting (as well as NFL betting) creates passions and difficulties can turn into pleasures.

In the case of NFL betting, the gamblers apply the rule “winning with the winners”. It is a simple, yet effective thing to do – identify the winning teams, check their recent playing status (the last 2 or 3 games), avoid traps and study the opposition with their own recent games and traps. NFL betting will be next natural step. It looks simple, but be careful because big games that might come up as well as the teams’ emotional state can turn the situation around giving the NFL gambler the chance to get burned. It is not right to practice NFL betting based only on what you believe to be correct. Just take a look at the line posted by oddsmakers to compare your own for the match-up with theirs. You might say that this method of NFL betting is for the simple minded, but it better to be safe and successful than sorry.

There’s a whole philosophy about baseball betting and NFL betting and everyone has a personal technique. Anyone can read about successful baseball gamblers, their methods of approaching several situations and learn from their mistakes. The Internet is full of proofs about the perseverance of baseball and NFL lovers. You can even say that betting has become an international sport as it is practiced everywhere there’s a game or a competition going on.

I’m going to have to compensate for this not-so-small handicap.  Basically anybody’s poker actions are six — whether you play online or off… betting, folding, calling, raising, re-raising, or check-raising.  So that’s a given.  My observations are going to fall in the realm of a good site selection, a game selection (there are many tables), careful note-taking and money management.

And while all players are indeed in caricature-form, they still have behavior that can be noted.  I can put their screen names under one of two lists: “tight players” or “loose players”.  It will help to observe a few hands and label them before I decide to sit in.  Too many tight players and I might look at another table.

Tight players are strong opponents.  Even as a novice they will fold a poor deal and play a good one.  When they raise, more often than not they have the cards to back it up with.  I think it would benefit me to keep them to my right – that way, I get to act after they do.  Loose players are often called ‘maniacs’ because they love to bet and raise with very little in hand to back it up.

As I see it, they are best if kept to my left in playing online poker.  Advantages are: I get to see how the other players react to his/her betting before it’s my turn.  And, at times if I check to the maniac who bets of course, this allows everyone else to call before I raise the bet and collect the additional monies. Get it?

Of course a table can also be tight or loose.  Ideally I believe a loose table is better and the first sign of this would be how many players see the flop; the more the better – if many are playing to the flop, the pots are healthier.  I read where 30% of the table playing all the way to the flop is a good measure.  Anything less is not worthwhile sitting in.

So, it’s time now to choose a fictitious name and sign up for the best poker school where I can (as they say) become a professional in a matter of months rather than years by playing the game with “fun” money until I declare I am ready for a real investment.

There are a limited number of bets in which the house has a low edge in the game of Craps.  You can benefit from learning to hedge your bets when you are to make more complicated wagers.

Generally speaking, if you opt for a hedge betting approach, it decreases the volatility of the game, while significantly limiting your potential wins. In a nutshell, if you happen to be a hedge better, there will not be as many down-spells that could bottom out your bankroll.
