A lot of people have been asking this question lately: \”What Is Full Tilt Rakeback All About?\” It has been generating quite a stir on blogs and forums. The guys who are talking about it act like everybody knows what they\’re talking about, but they don\’t This brief article is only meant to fill in the picture a little bit. For more information, go to Rakebackftw.com.

First of all, what does rakeback mean? Before you can understand what that means, you need to understand what the word \”rake\” is referring to. In the game of poker, the rake is the commission or percentage the casino \”rakes in\” from the pot. This is the only way the casino can make any money from a poker game. In games like blackjack, the casino wins because the odds are in their favor. If you wish to know more about it, go to Rakebackftw.com. They go into it in greater detail.

That\’s all there is to the word, \”rake.\” It is the casino\’s percentage. \”Rakeback\” becomes pretty clear once you understand that. A rakeback deal is money that is raked back to the players. That cash is a percentage of the percentage that the casino took before. The percentages vary from place to place, so you\’ll just have to look into that yourself.

Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson got revenge on the team that let him go in the best possible way. Benson amassed 189 yards rushing and led his new team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to a 45-10 rout over the visiting Bears on Sunday. Carson Palmer threw for five touchdowns with no interceptions in the blowout victory. Cincinnati improved to 5-2 with the win while Chicago dropped to 3-3 on the NFL season.

The Bengals also made short work of the NFL pointspread, easily covering as +1\’ home underdogs. Cincinnati improved to 4-3 against the number while Chicago evened their ATS mark at 3-3. The 55 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 42\’.

A happy Benson described his feelings after the win:

\”Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff.\”

Despite the evidence to the contrary, Benson downplayed the motive of revenge:

\”I continue to be as graceful as I can be. I\’m not shoving anything in anybody\’s face. Like I say, it wasn\’t a revenge day for me. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities.\”

He said his biggest problem was trying to keep his emotions in check and play under control:

\”There were a few times where I may have gotten a little too hyped up, a little too antsy. A couple of drives, I found myself having to calm myself down and gather my emotions to stay poised. Once I got past that, we were good to go. Keep it rolling.\”

Bengals\’ receiver Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He shared his thoughts postgame:

\”I don\’t understand why it went this way today and why it didn\’t go that way last week or the week before that. The offensive line played unbelievable. For Ced to run the way he did today and for us to be able to throw, we could have done what we wanted to do.\”

Chicago gave up more points than in any game all season, a fact that left defensive end Alex Brown looking for answers:

\”That was pretty embarrassing. It\’s embarrassing to come out and play like that. I tip my hat to their whole team. Cedric ran the ball like crazy. They did whatever they wanted to do.\”

The Bengals will enjoy a bye week before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. They\’ll then play two games on the road at Pittsburgh and Oakland. Chicago will try to get back on track this Sunday as they host the Cleveland Browns. They\’ll host the Arizona Cardinals the following Sunday before heading west for a Thursday night game against the San Francisco 49ers on November 12.

The San Diego Chargers bounced back nicely from their Monday Night Football loss to Denver last week, opening a 20-0 halftime lead before coasting to a 37-7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Chargers\’ quarterback Phillip Rivers passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. Running back Ladanian Tomlinson ran for a season high 71 yards.

The Chargers easily covered the NFL pointspread as -6 road favorites. It was only the second pointspread cover of the year for San Diego, who moved their ATS record to 2-4. Kansas City dropped to 2-5 against the spread. The 44 points pushed against the posted total.

After the game, QB Rivers suggested that the loss to Denver was a turning point for his team:

\”Last week, we felt like we made progress. We had the attitude we were looking for, focus, but we didn\’t win. But we knew we got better.\”

Tomlinson broke off one of his most impressive runs of the year on the Chargers first touchdown drive, a 31 yard pickup that he said lifted the team\’s spirits and led to the easy victory:

\”It kind of got us going. It was something we needed and it was a big play for us. It was a staple of our offense. It\’s been around for years, old power. It was perfectly blocked and was just a great job of execution.\”

The Chiefs continued to struggle on their home field, which at one point was considered one of the toughest venues in the league for visiting teams. Kansas City has now lost ten straight at Arrowhead Stadium, and 29 of their last 32 games. Chiefs\’ nose tackle Ron Edwards lamented this home field struggle:

\”We want to win for the home fans, for us, for everyone out there watching,\” nose tackle Ron Edwards said. \”It\’s real painful.\”

Rivers pointed to the Chiefs\’ legacy of home field dominance in celebrating the win:

\”Any time you come to Kansas City and win, it\’s good. We talked about getting on a roll and you\’ve got to win one first before you can. Hopefully, this is something we can build on.\”

The Chargers return home to take on their hated rivals, the Oakland Raiders. Next Sunday\’s game has San Diego listed as a -16\’ home favorite with the total set at 42\’. They\’ll travel to play the New York Giants the following week before returning home to face the Philadelphia Eagles on November 15. Kansas City will enjoy a bye week before returning to action on November 8 on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their next opportunity for a home victory will come on November 15 against the Oakland Raiders.

The Columbus Blue Jackets learned a valuable lesson about NHL hockey on Friday night-it\’s dangerous to \’sit on a lead\’ and particularly against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Down 3-1, Pittsburgh tied the game late in the third period as Ruslan Fedotenko and Alex Goligoski each lit the lamp with less than three minutes remaining. After a scoreless overtime period, Sidney Crosby scored the only goal of the shootout to give the Penguins an improbable 4-3 victory. It was the 9th win in ten games for Pittsburgh, who are a perfect 6-0-0 on the road.

NHL hockey betting enthusiasts cashed wagers on the road underdog Penguins, but on the moneyline at +117 and the puckline. Pittsburgh has gotten off to a great start this year, going 11-2-0 in the first month of the season. Columbus is struggling to stay above .500 at 6-5-1. The 7 combined goals scored went OVER the posted total of 5\’. The Blue Jackets have gone OVER in 7 of 12 games this season.

Crosby\’s game winning score in overtime wasn\’t exactly the stuff of highlight reels, with the puck barely trickling over the line:

\”It was kind of a fluky. The puck kept going. I don\’t know if he lost it or he didn\’t know where it was or whatever. I just tried a quick shot. I thought he had the save there. It just trickled in.\”

Jackets\’ goalie Steve Mason gave this version of Crosby\’s shot:

\”It hit my stick and I didn\’t get it settled until it was over the line. It just trickled over and I was too late on it.\”

Penguins\’ left winger Chris Kunitz scored a shorthanded goal and praised the leadership abilities of team captain Crosby:

\”It shows a lot of character from our captain. He goes out and he\’s never quitting on anything. Sometimes a team goes packing, down by two with 3 minutes left. But he goes out, he\’s on the bench, he\’s saying, \’Let\’s get the next one.\’ So we go out there and he finds himself the puck and he gets it to Goligoski, he gets a great shot and puts it in the net to get us to overtime.\”

Columbus\’ Rick Nash suggested that his team is having trouble \’closing out\’ games:

\”We\’re not closing games. We got the lead in a lot of the games already and just can\’t seem to close it out. They are the defending Stanley Cup champions. You can tell why they\’re such a good team. We are a team that needs to learn how to play with the lead.\”

Pittsburgh will host Minnesota on Saturday night before heading to southern California next week for games against the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks. Columbus will play at Washington on Sunday before hosting the San Jose Sharks next Wednesday. That\’ll be followed by a game in Atlanta against the Thrashers the next night.

Carolina Panthers\’ quarterback Jake Delhomme struggled on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and was fortunate that his running backs bailed him out. Delhomme threw for only 65 yards with two interceptions, but D\’Angelo Williams (152 yards) and Jonathan Stewart (110 yards) kept the chains moving as the Panthers won their second straight game defeating the Bucs 28-21. Tampa Bay has now lost ten straight dating back to last season and are 0-6 for the first time since\’85. The fact that they ended up starting that year 0-9 on their way to a 1-15 record doesn\’t bode well for the rest of the season.

NFL sports bettors were faced with a choice between two teams with dismal ATS records in this game, and those who had the guts to take a 1-3 team as a -3 road favorite were rewarded with the cover. It was Carolina\’s first NFL pointspread cover of the season and left them with a 1-4 record against the number. Tampa Bay has covered one of their six games this year. The 49 points scored went OVER the total of 40\’. Tampa Bay has gone OVER in 4 of 6, while Carolina has exceeded the total in three of their five games.

Delhomme attempted only seven passes in the second half, but the way Williams and Stewart were running there was no reason to put the ball in the air. Williams said that even though Tampa Bay knew what was coming they couldn\’t stop the Panthers\’ running game:

\”I\’m sure everybody in the stadium knew what we were going to do. There were times they had nine in the box and we were still getting 7 or 8 yards.\”

There\’s been little impatience locally with Bucs\’ rookie head coach Raheem Morris, but his weekly habit of explaining the obvious to rationalize yet another loss is starting to wear thin:

\”We got overpowered at the end, and really throughout the game.\”

Carolina safety Dante Wesley was ejected after clobbering Bucs\’ return man Clifton Smith after a fair catch call. After the game, Wesley gave this defense for his actions:

\”I was just trying to make a play. You can check my record. I\’ve never really tried to hurt anybody. I\’ve never tried to take a cheap shot on anybody.\”

Wesley could face a possible fine or suspension from the NFL but, in all fairness, it did appear to be a momentary mental lapse as he was trying to make a big play and not a deliberate attempt to injure Smith.

Tampa\’s schedule has the look of them going from \’the frying pan into the fire\’ as they host the New England Patriots next Sunday-fresh off of their 57 point drubbing of Tennessee. The Bucs are +14 home underdogs to the Patriots with the total set at 45. They\’ll get a week off after that contest and return to action on November 8 as they host the Green Bay Packers. Carolina has an easier draw, hosting the Buffalo Bills next Sunday. The game is currently off the board pending the status of Bills\’ QB Trent Edwards who suffered a concussion in Sunday\’s win over the New York Jets. The Panthers will then play on the road the following two Sundays, traveling to Arizona and New Orleans.

Betting on sports ‘futures’ is an enjoyable and potentially profitable way to wager, but there are several potential risks that can lead to losses. Here’s a rundown of things to avoid:

You gotta shop around: More specifically, you have to ’shop points’ just as you would with a straight bet. This is crucial in all forms of sports betting but particularly key with futures wagers. There are often greater variances in the prices from book to book on future plays than any other type of wagering proposition. The reason for this is simple–most books are less concern with what the ‘other guys’ are doing as they are with keeping their own position ‘in balance’. All in all, the sports betting marketplace just doesn’t react as quickly to changing futures prices as it does to individual game lines.

Don’t try to pick the winner in a competitive marketplace: This may sound sort of counter intuitive since the general idea of betting on futures is to determine the actual winner but it’s really not. Like everything else, its essential to always be mindful of the value you’re getting. In a futures market with several legitimate contenders at the top the price offered is seldom high enough to properly compensate for the risk you’re assuming. Here’s an example: in a hypothetical NCAA hoops tournament Duke is +200 to win the national championship. They’ve certainly got a shot, but at a payback of only 2/1 its hard to justify a wager at this point with the potential for so many interceding events that can make a championship more problematic. Such events as injuries, a tough tournament draw or even just going into a slump at the wrong time can happen to any team but when you bet a higher priced team–a ‘dark horse mid major at 15/1 for example–you’re getting “compensation” for assuming the “risks” of betting on a proposition with so many unknown variables.

In mathematical terms, we’re simply not being offered odds on a favorite that offer a good value in comparison with the ‘true odds’ of the event occurring. Let’s say we bet Duke at +200 to win the NCAA tournament. If we could magically play the NCAA tournament over 100 times, would Duke come out on top more than 33 times? If not, they’re a poor value at the price. At a higher price, I might be interested but at +200 the value is simply not there.

Note that the more competitive the market, the more difficult it is to find good value on a favorite. In a smaller field, or in a field with one dominant competitor it can be easier. For example, say the UFC were to have a tournament involving heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and three male figure skaters. Even if Lesnar was slightly injured, or not at the top of his game he’d essentially have a 100% chance of beating the smaller, effeminate men who are untrained to fight. If a book installed Lesnar as a -1000 favorite in this spot, it could still be considered a good value. It’s never easy to risk a lot to win a little, but from strictly a mathematical standpoint it makes sense.

Don’t try to make a huge profit with little risk: Sports betting provides few opportunities to make a ‘big killing’. It may happen occasionally, but even the big payouts when it occurs doesn’t make chasing big longshots a good value. If you’re serious about sports betting it is crucial to maintain your focus on the underlying numbers and look for value at all times. If you want to take a longshot at a huge jackpot, play the lottery but don’t try to do it at a sportsbook.

On a more theoretical level, a big price alone is no way to justify a wager. The concept of value works the same at the bottom of the barrel as it does at the top: make sure the price you’re getting on an underdog accurately reflects their “true odds” of winning.

Don’t waste your money on ridiculous prop bets: Occasionally sports books offer ridiculous bets to get press or to be funny. For example, a book once offered odds on Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Bruce Willis all hopping into bed together and releasing a video tape of the proceedings. You’d no doubt get a huge payback were this to happen, but the ‘true odds’ of such an event transpiring far exceeded even a big potential payback.

There\’s not much \’middle ground\’ when it comes to the desirability of betting NFL preseason games. The overly conservative handicappers suggest that its a poor wagering opportunity, while the \’boiler room\’ sports touts try to suggest that short of a fixed game there\’s no more sure thing than preseason football. There\’s a degree of truth in both views. Handicapping preseason NFL football is a unique discipline unto itself, but with knowledge and caution it can be a profitable endeavor.

The opponent of preseason wagering would suggest that its a bad wagering opportunity by its very nature alone–simply stated, the games don\’t count meaning that the motivation and focus of individual teams is always in question. It\’s hard enough to identify teams that are in a desirable \’spot\’ during the regular season, the often conflicting agendas of personnel evaluation, playbook testing, and injury prevention found in the preseason makes it impossible. All told, this uncertainty makes it very undesirable to get financially involved with preseason NFL games.

The proponent of preseason wagering would argue that this is the very reason that good opportunities frequently arise during preseason. First, additional value is frequently found with the underdog in preseason games by their very nature. To explain, in a hypothetical matchup between a Superbowl champion and an also-ran the \”better\” team by regular season standards would invariably be favored. However, by virtue of their success the \”better\” teams have not only more \’marquee names\’ to protect, but also valued guys in the trenches who could cause big problems if injured. Frequently, they\’ll have more depth and thus fewer personnel evaluation decisions to deal with. They\’ll have no need to \”create a winning attitude\”, nor will they usually have wholesale changes in team composition, offensive or defensive strategy, or coaching philosophies to deal with. In short, the \”better\” teams often go into preseason situations with little to accomplish other than to get the games over with and stay healthy.

NFL \’doormats\’, meanwhile, have a markedly different agenda to their more successful counterparts. They\’ve often got heated competition for starting positions or key back up roles. They\’ve often got new coaching staffs that players want to impress. Most significantly, they\’re in great need of establishing a winning attitude. A win against an elite team in a \’meaningless\’ preseason game often has a much greater value to this type of team than to a playoff contender.

Even among teams that don\’t worry much about wins and losses during the preseason, they don\’t want to go into the season losing them all. For that reason, one of the most successful preseason situations over the past decade and a half have been teams that lost their first two preseason affairs. During that span, 0-2 teams have hit right around 60% against the spread.

The philosophy of a NFL head coach is arguably the single most important factor contributing to preseason success. Some coaches always want to win, even if the games don\’t count in the standings. Other coaches place a much greater importance on evaluating personnel and giving backups playing time they won\’t have the opportunity to get during the regular season. The coaches that have a strong desire to win in the preseason often result in their team\’s pointspreads being inflated somewhat, but a motivated team is always worth consideration for a wager.

The smart preseason handicapper makes use of the Internet, and more specifically uses it to follow the local sports media of NFL teams. During NFL preseasons, teams\’ beat writers are anxious to write stories and need to fill articles but have little in the way of \”real\” news to write about. As a result, a handicapper can frequently find valuable details like a coach\’s goals for the game, playing time for key players, and specific strategies that will be implemented. Occasionally, coaches will come out and say that they\’re more interested in evaluating certain players for certain positions than they are in the outcome of the game. A thorough evaluation of this type of media coverage can often produce not only teams to play \”on\”, but teams with priorities other than winning to play \”against\”.

In conclusion, there are certainly strong opportunities for profit in NFL preseason wagering but its essential to understand that it cannot be approached in the same manner as the regular season. And, as always, its important to remember that there will be more strong opportunities down the road and that discipline and rigor in handicapping is just as crucial in the preseason NFL as it is at any other time of the year.

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated no more. The Pittsburgh Steelers\’ used a couple of big plays from their defense in the fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat the Vikings by a final score of 27-17. Favre put up decent yardage in the loss, throwing for 334 yards but had no touchdowns and an interception.

NFL pointspread players who backed the Steelers as -6 home favorites were rewarded with the cover. Pittsburgh had only covered one of their first six games heading into the contest, and the win improved their record against the number to 2-5. Minnesota dropped to 4-3 against the spread with the setback. The 44 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 46\’.

The Steelers largely shut down Minnesota\’s rushing game, holding Adrian Peterson to 69 yards. Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark underscored his team\’s dominance against the run:

\”That\’s the biggest point of the game. You have the best running back in the world and you don\’t give it to him. They\’re saying they can\’t beat us running, and that\’s a major statement when you have the guy they have back there.\”

Favre gave a mealy mouthed justification for the loss in his postgame interview:

\”There were a lot of what ifs, a lot of reasons we didn\’t win. The red zone was one of them. They\’re physical, and they were as good as we thought they\’d be. … When I came here and looked at our schedule and saw the Steelers game, I went, \’Oh-h-h.\’ \”

Favre has only thrown three interceptions in a Vikings\’ uniform, but #3 was a costly one as it was returned by Steelers\’ Keyaron Fox for a touchdown to put the game out of reach as Minnesota was driving for a potential game tying field goal. Afterwards, Fox recalled the play:

\”Brett tried to force it in there and the running back bobbled it and slipped out of his hands and it fell into my lap. I had just run across the field after Peterson and I was winded, so it felt like it was 100-plus yards.\”

The Vikings now face another big game next week as they head to Favre\’s old stomping grounds in Green Bay for a battle with the Packers. It\’ll be Favre\’s first appearance at his old home in an enemy uniform. The Vikings are a +3 road underdog with the total set at 48. The Vikings will then have a bye weekend before hosting the lowly Detroit Lions on November 15. Pittsburgh will enjoy a bye week this week before returning to action on Monday, November 9th facing the Denver Broncos on the road.

The Green Bay Packers didn’t do a good job protecting their quarterback last Sunday, but against the lowly Detroit Lions it didn’t really matter. Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times, but Green Bay used a big first half offensive outburst to coast to a 26-0 NFL victory over the Detroit Lions. Rodgers threw two first half touchdown passes which was complimented by four Mason Crosby field goals as Green Bay improved to 3-2 on the season.

NFL football betting enthusiasts who backed the Packers as -14 home dogs easily cashed their tickets with Green Bay’s third pointspread cover in five games. Detroit slipped to 2-4 against the spread. The 26 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 48′.

In the victory, Packers’ receiver Donald Driver passed Sterling Sharpe for first place on the franchise reception list. Sharpe finished his career with 596 receptions, Driver now has 602. After the game, he talked about the accomplishment:

“It couldn’t it come in a better place — at home in front of the fans I’ve played in front of for so many years. It feels good. Now I just have to wait on Sterling to call me and congratulate me.”

Despite the convincing victory, cornerback Tramon Williams wasn’t happy with the relatively narrow margin:

“It feels like a 50 to zero game, but we didn’t quite get there. I felt we should’ve put more points on the board.”

For the Lions, their quarterback woes continued. Backup Daunte Cullpepper injured his hamstring in the third quarter and was replaced by the Lions’ third string quarterback Drew Stanton. Cullpepper is now listed as ‘questionable’ on the official NFL injury report. After the game, he talked about Detroit’s lack of offense:

“It’s very disappointing, very frustrating. It’s embarrassing to me not to be able to move it on the field and get points on the board. We’ve got to figure out a way to do that, simple as that.”

The Packers will play on the road this Sunday, heading to Cleveland to face the Browns. The game is currently off the board as linemakers try to get a handle on the personnel impact of the Browns’ struggle with a flu bug making its way through the locker room. Green Bay will host the Minnesota Vikings the following Sunday followed by a trip to Tampa Bay on November 8. Detroit has a bye this weekend and will return to action as they host the St. Louis Rams on November 1. They’ll play their next two on the road, with games in Seattle and Minnesota.

I am going to give you some information about the argument between roulette software and roulette systems. Roulette systems are often now put into software form in order to make things simpler for the buyers and sellers.

An important point to remember though at this point is the fact that roulette software will only ever be as good as the system it is put into. This unfortunately is a big problem with roulette software programs. Roulette software programs all have what is called a sleeper system coded into them, which long term is a big disadvantage.

Sleeper systems work by you placing a bet on a number that hasn’t come up during recent play. You then increase your bets after each loss until you get a profit. I have seen this system in every piece of roulette software that I have played on.

It is a well know fact that this kind of roulette system is totally bogus. The reason for this is because the software that the online casinos use to determine the outcome of their games is actually designed to stop these kinds of systems from working. This doesn’t mean that online roulette is rigged, you get the same results if you don’t place any bets.

Recently however, there are some new automated systems that have appeared. The idea of these is great – you can sit back and relax whilst they place your bets and spin the wheel for you. You literally wouldn’t have to raise a finger once you’ve got it up and running. There is a downside though as they all use sleeper systems also.

I definitely prefer the conventional types of roulette systems because of this. I think this because they are mainly put out there by people who play roulette online a lot. Software programs on the other hand are made by developers who have no interest in roulette, all they care about is making money from the sales of their programs.

In conclusion to this I would be very sceptical when it comes to roulette software programs. You need to remember that anyone with some programming knowledge can make a software program However it is a lot more difficult to make a long term winning roulette system. Only someone with experience of using a roulette system for many months can then certify it as the real thing to be able to sell it.

If you want a Roulette System which you can apply online then check out the roulette bandit system. It is a very interseting system.
