The Future Of Soccer Betting

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Some might say soccer betting is a gamble and some might say it’s a form of investment. Personally I think soccer betting is another form of investment. While there’s risk betting in football, it can be minimize when done correctly.

Is there a future in soccer betting with more punters going bust after trying it?

There will always be a future in soccer betting. With more sites providing quality tipping service, more punters will enjoy fruitful winning they have not enjoyed before. This will give a confident boost to new punters getting into the betting scene.

With demand for betting increase, we will also see the rise in the numbers of bookmakers. With Asian handicap style of betting getting more popular among the punters, more bookmakers in Europe are starting to offer Asian handicap odds to their customers.

As a punter who would like to make a future in soccer betting, I would suggest to find and get a good tipping service provider to work with. This will definitely help taking out the pressure of having to analyze hundreds of matches all by yourself.

From my experience as a punter, analyzing odds can be a pain and it can cause you great damage if you analyze it wrongly and you can end up without your pants by the end of the day.

Tipping services can be a great help with them having a group of analyst working round the clock to provide their customers with the best outcome of the games. All you have to do is to find the most reliable service and you are on your way to making good fortune from your bookmakers.

The good and reliable tipping service does not come cheap but it’s worth the money because you will be making a lot more with the picks that they provide. Never ever go for those cheap tipping service that provide weekly service for anything less than $100 as most of these sites could be an amateur trying their luck in the industry.

The good reliable sites will easily charge their customers between $300 – $500 weekly and these are the premium service that can guarantee you profit.

What is Wrong With Competing For Sales

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Most sales processes that are used today have the essence of competition at their core. Businesses find themselves competing against each other and sometimes even against their clients. Competition is seen as the normal way of doing business in an era characterized by commoditization. The commoditization trap that many businesses find themselves in is causes them to lower their prices while the cost and complexity of doing business increases. Shrinking profits and lower margins create a fear-based mentality that pushes competitiveness to a new level. Closing the deal quickly becomes more important than offering real value to the client. This Competitive Sales Process that most people are trained to use does not honor your innate ability to develop trust and create a meaningful encounter with prospects/clients.

Many people tend to invest tremendous amounts of time and energy to give away all of the knowledge they have accumulated over the years. They give it away for free and find themselves jumping through hoops trying to win the client over, overcome objections, deliver a sales presentation and create a proposal only to then have a 50/50 chance of getting the sale. The whole sales process can be extremely disheartening and de-motivating when you give away invaluable market information in the hopes of setting yourself apart from the hordes of competition believed to be out there lurking in the shadows. This mentality that makes you want to give away your knowledge for free as a way to stand above the competition is based on fear. The salesperson becomes increasingly frustrated at the cycle of giving and getting nothing back. When fear (of decreasing returns and of not getting the sale) is the motivating thought force behind an activity, the results that manifest will be the same as that from which they came. The Universal Law of Attraction shows us that a mentality focused on lack breeds lack.

The Competitive Sales Process creates an unequal relationship between the buyer and the seller. The buyer often expects a deeper commitment on your part without feeling the need to reciprocate. They have become accustomed to salespeople scrambling to make the sale with the hope of differentiating themselves from other companies in their marketplace. The seller is the one who invests all of their time, money, resources, creativity, skills and knowledge upfront, at no cost, in the hope of winning the sale.

Under The Competitive Sales Process that I used in recruitment sales, for example, payment was not received until project was complete. When the candidate was hired, I got paid. There were many times where our company would do 40-60% of the work only to find that the client had hired on their own and would not be completing the project with my firm. In other words, we did a lot of work and received no payment. Viewing The Competitive Sales Process from this perspective makes me wonder why so many businesses choose to remain caught in this trap when a much easier and more rewarding way of doing business exists.

The Competitive Sales Process dominates the global economy today and could be the result of the increasing complexity of doing business in the 21st Century. The internet, automation, the convergence of technologies, consolidation and globalization are the result of developed economies doing things bigger and better all in the name of progress. It is said that greater efficiencies, hence greater profits are a result of the forces of competition. What seems to happen, however, is that all of this progression puts a downward pressure on businesses to create their products or deliver the services faster and cheaper than ever before. We are made to believe that the consumers of products and services want their products faster and cheaper or they’ll go somewhere else. People are plugged in to a technological buzz that is supposed to make their lives easier, but in reality, it seems to make life significantly more complex.

The Competitive Sales Process is based upon a very common mentality that sees people and corporations fighting amongst themselves to win an elusive prize. Millions of businesses are preoccupied with gaining the competitive edge. There is a whole industry based on sales strategies, psychologies, processes and formulas designed to make each sales person more competitive than the next. The most common sales strategy that is taught is all about “the sales pitch” and “the close”. You’re taught how to approach the prospect, how to formulate and discuss features, benefits and evidence. You’re taught how to ask the right questions so that you can manipulate the situation in your favour. The training is usually about how to deal with objections and rebuttals and how to close the deal. Very rarely are sales people taught how to communicate at a level that produces a meaningful encounter. This is seen as a waste of time. You’re taught to focus on walking away with the order instead of focusing on how you can best serve the person you’re meeting with.

Instead, try recognizing that your prospects and clients are just like you. They have the same needs, the same fears, the same challenges and the same inner yearnings. Your prospects and clients also have the same creative energy at their center as you do. Their combination of strengths and abilities will be unique to them and are something that you can learn from, but their creative centers are just the same as yours.

When you learn to see others as the same as you, you will have a much easier time building trusting and highly rewarding relationships. Your ability to treat your prospects and clients in a manner that appeals to their highest values as people will increase, enabling you to tap into the an endless abundance of good coming your way. As a business developer, this good takes the form of increased sales revenues.

Your ability to have a meaningful encounter with your prospects and clients creates a chain reaction of word-of-mouth referrals. The most common method people use when sourcing out a new supplier in the 21st Century is their network of acquaintances. We are continuously bombarded with a vast array of marketing messages all designed to grab your attention and your money and have become increasingly pessimistic about what we see and hear in media marketing. Our reliance on acquaintances and people we trust to make sound referrals is how the majority of people today research a new supplier.

Meaningful encounters with prospects and clients can only increase your exposure to their extended network of acquaintances. As you continue to positively affect other people with your very presence, the effects transcend the immediacy of the interaction to people outside of your direct influence. Positive, uplifting encounters have been proven to raise the feel good substance called serotonin that is found within all people. When someone feels good, they operate at a high energy level and bring warmth to the people they personally interact with. A positive encounter with another person has the potential to affect thousands upon thousands of people.

What do you get out of facilitating a meaningful encounter? Well, in the very smallest sense, the prospect or client that you met with, the person you positively affected will be compelled to refer you to their network of acquaintances. As long as you continue to make it your mission to positively affect whomever you are meeting with, you will draw an increase of business your way.

Why Online Casinos are Better than Real Casinos

Monday, October 12th, 2009

It is no question, that online gambling and gaming is one of these remarkable advances. You can now do all your sports betting, poker playing, and whatever gambling you choose to do online. So you may ask why are so many people interested in gambling online, versus at the real casino? The answer is actually quite simple.

Online casinos offer peace of mind and relaxation in a comfortable environment. Instead of playing at a noisy casino on the strip where you can easily be distracted, online casinos give you the opportunity to play in whatever type of atmosphere you choose. Picture yourself in a crowded casino with haunting eyes from your competitors staring you down, trying to intimidate your every move. With rowdy onlookers throwing you off your game and adding unwanted pressure and tension, wouldn´t it be nice to eliminate all these distractions and play at your own pace. Playing at an online casino, you don´t have all these elements that can put you in a bad frame of mind. For most, gambling in a bad frame of mind leads to the loss of money. With online gaming, one can play on their own schedule and play wherever there is a internet connection. With all these appealing benefits, it is really no wonder why online casinos are so popular and growing at such a rapid pace.

As was explained earlier in this article, online casinos have numerous features that attract people to play. One must know that you should always do your best to follow the rules set for you while playing at a certain sites casino. However, online casinos do not have as many rules as as the real life casinos. Take for instance, some casinos don´t allow you to smoke inside their building or one can´t talk on a cell phone while gaming. With online gambling you can do as you please, hopefully in a safe and lawful manner. Isn´t it nice to be able to light up your cigarette, pop open a beer and sit at the computer and talk on the phone and not have to worry about some floor manager reprimanding you. In addition, maybe you don´t look so hot and don´t feel all that great on a particular day, you can go to the online casino and not have to worry about fixing yourself all up to go gamble.

One of the biggest benefits of online gambling is that you can gamble with free money. Numerous casinos allow you to play for free with the opportunity to win real money. Intelligent marketing strategies are at work. These gambling services are very willing to pay-out money in return for satisfied clients and more business. One negative thing is that you won´t be able to win a huge online jackpot but you can earn enough bonus bucks to raise your bets and compete more frequently.

For many individuals the constant noise and unwanted tension that comes with a real life casino is a major distraction. The answer for you is to use online casinos to satisfy your gambling crave. This way of gambling gives you the freedom to play whenever you want in whatever environment you please. With all the benefits online casinos offer, it is hard not to join the phenomenon.

NFL Week 10 Point Spread Picks First Look

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Well NFL Week 9 is in the books and our famous BEST BETS went 4-1 as we hit with the Saints (-3), Texans (+3), Colts (+5), and Steelers (-9.5), while losing only with the Eagles (+3.5). We move on to Week 10 and more winners for our subscribers (BEST BETS) and the rest of our readers (rest of the games).

ARIZONA CARDINALS 1.5 Detroit Lions: Surprised to see the Lions not favored here as it seems Detroit is still not getting rspect from the linesmakers. This is a great opportunity to jump on an improving team getting points. On the other hand, the Cardinals are 4-1 ATS at home so they will be playing tough.

BALTIMORE RAVENS 4.5 Cincinnatti Bengals: Both teams are struggling badly with the Ravens not being able to score and the Bengals not being able to stop anyone. That makes this game tough to figure based on those premises but the Bengals have a decent enough offense that getting 4.5 points is attractive. The Ravens play tough at home however as they are 4-1 ATS and can’t do any worse than last night against the Steelers.

BUFFALO BILLS 3 MIAMI DOLPHINS: Dolphins have a shot here to finally get their first win, despite the Bills winning four straight. Miami is off a bye and is in the great betting angle of being a home underdog.

CAROLINA PANTHERS 4.5 Atlanta Falcons: Both teams are disgusting on offense so getting 4.5 with the Falcons looks good in what figures to be a low-scoring game. The Panthers however have gone 6-2 ATS in their last 8 against Atlanta.

Chicago Bears 3 OAKLAND RAIDERS: The Raiders are a joke and the Bears are the biggest dissapointement in football. Chicago is off a bye however and they are getting healthy. Oakland is a home underdog however and ae on their second game of back-to-back home games which if always a good betting angle if they droppd the first game which they accomplished.

Dallas Cowboys 1 NEW YORK GIANTS: Giants have to be annoyed that they are a home underdog after winning six in a row and they will be playing all out to prove the doubters wrong. Giants are also off a bye.

GREEN BAY PACKERS 6.5 Minnesota Vikings: Green Bay is rolling after back-to-back road wins but you have to be aware of a letdown here at home against a bad Vikings squad as teams coming off back-to-back road wins are only 20-41-1 ats at home. The Vikings are only 2-8 ATS in their last ten in Green Bay however.

Indianapolis Colts 3.5 SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: Interesting game here as Colts head out on the road to take on the Chargers. Both teams are off a loss so the bouce back angle is in play for both sqauds. The extra half-point makes this one tough to call at this point.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS off Denver Broncos: This game is off the board due to status of injured Broncos QB Jay Cutler.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 12 St. Louis Rams: The Saints have won four in a row and are home to take on the winless Rams. St. Louis is getting healthy however and are still trying for that elusive first win. Saints have bad defense so this could be closer than expected. If Saints come out firing like they did last week against the Jaguars however, than this one could be over quickly.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS 9.5 Cleveland Browns: The Browns have been the biggest surprise in the league and they are getting a ton of points to boot. Steelers look absolutely dominant at home however and play the type of defense that could give a young quarterback like Derek Anderson trouble.

TENNESSEE TITANS off Jacksonville Jaguars: Game off the board due to status of injured Jags QB David Garrard.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS 3 Philadelphia Eagles: Eagles are always tough off a loss (9-2 ATS) but the Redskins have covered four of the last five at home in the series.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 10 San Francsico 49ers: The 49ers are the worst offensive team in football and they have to now go on the road to take on a Seahawks team that has had problems with inconsistency.

A Lady’s View from Inside the Las Vegas Craps Game Boys’ Club

Friday, October 9th, 2009

A woman craps dealer faces many trials from both players and co-workers, but the toughest test is always dealing your first Super Bowl. In Las Vegas, Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest weekend of the year. It’s big money and no nonsense. New Year’s Eve is for revelers and Super Bowl is for the gamblers. They come. They all come, and every craps dealer better know his or her business.

It was 1996 when my first Super Bowl Sunday went into overtime. I was working at the Flamingo Hilton on the Strip and the dice tables were packed. A craps game normally holds eight people to a side, but nine to ten people were storming both walls until dawn.

Craps is traditionally a men’s game, dealt by men and supervised by men. And this night I had entered the boys’ club and locked the door behind me. When not on stick, I was dealing first base on my table, which is the right side from the perspective of the pit crew, and I looked out onto a rocky masculine shore of horseshoe rings, heavy gold watches, polo shirts and cigars. At five three and one hundred twenty pounds, I felt small but that was the least of my worries. Keeping all these players’ bets straight and properly paid was my way to stay on their good sides.

Normally a craps game is only jammed up like a thirty-car wreck on foggy Los Angeles freeway when the players are winning. But when a casino is full of experienced craps players with bulging wallets, the craps game will be pounded with bets as everyone puts their personal style of play into action. I had plenty of line bets with odds and of course a don’t pass player. A half dozen players were placing and pressing the six and eight while a couple other guys were betting the numbers across. The across bettors were playing come bets as well and using the winnings from their place bets to fund their odds on their come bets. And then a guy had to get in there and start buying lay bets against the nine and the six, so I had commissions to figure out.

And just when I felt like I was going to get in the zone and stay on top of things, a man in a black shirt bellies up to the table and tosses three thousands dollars onto the blue felt of the Flamingo’s table, challenging the casino to a duel. I don’t remember much after that, except not getting fired.

Dealing that Super Bowl Sunday game in Las Vegas in my rookie year as a craps dealer moved my game up a notch. I was a better dealer for the experience, and I had proved to my co-workers and my players that a lady dealer could handle the boys’ game just fine.

A free how to play craps guide that covers the basics of craps is available from Falbe Publishing.
