IMG style=MARGIN: 5px border=0 alt=2010 FIBA Globe Championship align=left src=http://www.greatsport.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2010-FIBA-Globe-Championship-2288.jpg width=234 height=162PThe Globe Basketball Championship was held in Turkey from August 28 to September 12. It was a extremely fascinating tournament, with several excellent moves, but also several controversy. It was the third time that there had been 24 competing countries, and the group stage was therefore held in 4 cities (Ankara, Izmir, Kayseri and Istanbul), and the knockout round was played in Istanbul but in a distinct sports hall. In the finish, this was the standings:/PP1.USA BR2.Turkey BRthree.Lithuania BR4. Serbia BRfive.Argentina BRsix.Spain BR7.Russia BR8.Slovenia BR9.Brazil BR10.Australia BR11.Greece BR12.New Zealand BR13.France BR14.Croatia BR15.Angola BR16.China BR17.Germany, Puerto Rico, Iran, Lebanon BR18. C#244;te dIvoire, Canada, Jordan, Tunisia./PPIn spite of arriving with a practically reserve team, the Americans took the gold without having a loss on the tournament. Right after 16 years (last time they won was in 1994) they had been the basketball champions once more. The only ones who gave them some difficulty had been the Brazilians, way back in the group stage, but they ultimately beat them too. Now, I ask you, how could the just ease by means of the whole tournament like that? Of course, I am not attempting to diminish their achievement, far from it. Congratulations to them and to their wonderful good results. But how is it that they could be so dominant over other teams, with, everybody will agree, a reserve basketball team (King James was not in the squad, I feel that qualifies as a b team, we all know his prospective). Is the rest of the Globe so far behind them that they just can not compete? What is it that they do differently? Of course, in many of the nations that played the tournament the basketball is not so nicely supported as it is in the USA. Possibly that is what this is, what it all takes is a small much more encouragement./PPNow, on to the controversy. The Serbia coach, Dusan Ivkovic was especially hit by some choices, and was in all probability the one who had the most ideal to complain. Just before the tournament even start there had been a couple of suspicious actions going on. Some 10 days Ahead of the begin of the tournament the was a different one, a warm up competition, shall we say, in Athens. Each Greece and Serbia took spot, and through their match, in the last three minutes, a fight broke out. Now, I will not mention any names, and of course I will not justify what those players have accomplished. The game was ultimately cancelled, and 2 players of Both side had been suspended for a couple of initially games on the tournament. The factor was, this was announced much less than 48 hours Prior to the starting of the tournament, and it is prospective to transform players 2 days Ahead of the begin. The coaches of Each teams, Jonas Kazlauskas and Dusan Ivkovic had been Each important of FIBA, for the reason that they had over a week to make the choice but had not carried out so./PPAnd last but not least, a issue for any sport I suppose, the referees. There had been many referee errors, but such are produced also, they are only human, but some had been so ridiculous for basketball standards that many of us had been questioning if it was fixed or are the referees very that dumb. All this culminated throughout the semifinal game in between Turkey, the hosts, and Serbia (type of looks like they are the poor guys here, but it is not accurate). The Serbia coach demanded an apology Right after the tournament, and the resignation of some of the members of FIBA which he held responsible. Absolutely nothing will most likely come out of that, for the reason that such little countries do not have incredibly and influence, but it nonetheless leaves a bitter taste. Of course, I am not blaming the Turkey basketball players, they likely had Absolutely nothing to do with that. But it was not just that game that had weird referees choices, there had been other people, many other people./PPIn the finish, it was nonetheless an enjoyment to watch the Globe Basketball Tournament, which had some excellent moves, particularly from the Americans, who showed the Globe all their talent and understanding, some heartbreaking finishes to games and some items that really should be looked into./PPhttp://common-sports-of-europe.com/sports/?p=64/PP/P

IMG style=MARGIN: 5px border=0 alt=Professional Poker Player Transition to Sports Betting – Wheres the +EV in Horse Racing Systems? align=left src=http://www.greatsport.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Professional-Poker-Player-Transition-to-Sports-Betting-Where-s-the-EV-in-Horse-Racing-Systems-1514.jpg width=225 height=225PEV or Expected Value is a widely used term in poker terminology to determine if the outcome of a play is +, 0 or – in terms of profitability. This article is aimed for Poker Players who also like to punt on UK and Irish horse racing. It never ceases to amaze me how many good poker players are terrible at betting on horse racing. If they can spend so much time on their poker game then why not also put in the effort when placing a bet to ensure that you have the most +EV decision that you can possibly make with all the information at hand. The title of the post is actually a small bit misleading as I personally believe that all horse racing systems are doomed and the way to consistently profit at betting on horse racing is to have a horse racing method not a system./PPThe following article will lay the ground work for anyone who wants to start taking their punting to the next level. There is no better satisfaction then spending an hour or two analysing a race and 1 horse just stands head and shoulders above the rest when you compare all the different factors that I will explain below. Of course the toughest part is having the discipline to only wait for when these such occasions occur when placing a bet, and some times, this may mean you do not bet for up to a month. (This may help explain why I moved into playing poker from sports betting as the results of your actions are known instantaneously, and you can play a game anytime of any day). I also think you can compare a MTT player to a professional sports bettor – you can go long periods without a win and then score a few big results and then rinse and repeat and hopefully over the course of the year you will have been profitable./PPSTRONG1./STRONG You must specialise. All the most profitable professional sports bettors pick not only 1 sport but only a small niche in that sport. Patrick Veitch, who has won over 10 million punting on horse racing in the UK only bets on UK flat racing. He even has a massive team of researchers who do a lot of the work for him, but he as he also works 18 hours days during the flat season he is naturally burnt out by the end of the season./PPFor the beginner though, what I mean by specialise is concentrate on an area of horse racing where you can get the most information. Information is power so unless you own a shed load of 2 year old horses or are the nephew of Aidan O Brein, there is no point in specialising in 2 year old horse races as you just wont have enough information to go on. Therefore it makes more sense to specialise on handicap races, where each horse in the race must of least have run 3 times to qualify but mainly are run by the same horses year in, year out until they are retired./PPThe best races then to specialise in are 4 year old plus handicaps in flat and national hunt racing as you have the most information available and you can start to see patterns in horses and therefore pick out some very +EV selections when you have spotted this pattern and the majority of the racing public havent. This is the bread and butter of successful punting, going against the crowd./PPPersonally I used to specialise in 4 year old plus UK flat handicaps in the summer, and UK and Irish National Hunt handicap chases and hurdles in the Winter./PPSTRONG2./STRONG In your specialised area, when you select a race to analyse, you must go through every horse in the race to develop a shortlist. Below are my 5 essential criteria that every horse must have when you are placing a bet./PPa) Going – The horse must be proven on going conditions./PPb) Distance – The horse must be proven on the trip/PPc) Course Type – The horse must be proven on similar type of course/PPd) Fitness – The horse must have shown that it can operate at optimal levels since its last number of days off the track./PPe) Class – The horse must have either won at the class he is currently competing in before or else gave a very good showing in a previous race at the similar or higher class level./PPSTRONGGoing and Distance/STRONG/PPWith regard to going and distance and to a lesser extent course type, I will not fully discount a horse who has never raced on the going if he has extremely good sire stats (15% + strike rate) however I would always give precedence to another horse in a race who has won on for example soft going compared to a horse who has never raced on soft but has sire stats of 18% strike rate for soft going conditions./PPWith distance, I would also use sire stats if a horse is moving up or down in trip by 1 furlong on the flat, and 2 furlongs in national hunt. With experience, you can tell by looking at a race if a horses needs the extra trip or not and the sire stats can be a great way to back up that visual piece of information./PPSTRONGCourse Type/STRONG/PPThis often overlooked by the general racing public. The best thing about UK and Irish racing is the different types of race courses you will encounter. Cheltenham (left-handed, galloping, undulating and testing track with stiff fences) is totally different to Stratford (left Handed, flat amp; Sharp) as it is to Sandown (right-handed, galloping, testing track)/PPA horse who has won twice in Cheltenham will probably never win a race at Stratford and vice versa. Bigger sized horses are more suited to galloping tracks as they can take the turns easier and can maintain a strong galloping pace for longer whereas a smaller sized horse is better suited to sharp tracks (i.e less than 10 furlongs) as most of the running will be going around bends and therefore the bigger horses will not be able to maintain their top galloping speed for long on the stretches./PPAlso some horses can only run to their best at left handed courses and vice versa. You would actually wonder why trainers persist to run horses which clearly will not win on a certain turning race track, but then you realise by doing this, they will get their Official rating down as horse will appear to be trying but will be hanging left or right the whole way through. You have to be aware that trainers will be trying to manipulate the handicapper a lot of the times in the lower grade races by running horses on unsuitable ground, at the wrong distance, on the wrong course type, or running the horse with a different style during the race all to try and reduce their rating so that they can set up a better chance for themselves to win in the future at a decent price./PPI love Cheltenham race meet in March for the simple fact, the course is a stiff testing course which straight away rules out a lot of other horses in the race as they just cant handle it, the grade of racing and pirze money on offer means that everyone is trying to win, and you can nearly always guarantee what the going will be. Therefore if you just use the criteria above and select horses who are proven on the 5 factors (and this applies to the non handicap graded races too, you will see huge profits)/PPSTRONGFitness/STRONG/PPTo determine a horses fitness, you must look at its previous patterns of how it performed when it returns after a certain number of days off the track. The beauty of handicap races is you have loads of past information to go on and you can see if a horse is 0-5 when returning after an 80 day lay off, whereas he is 3-2-5 when he returns between 15 and 30 days./PPSTRONGClass/STRONG/PPA horses class is often overlooked by the racing public. Statistically horses who are moving up in grade/class do not have a good strike rate, however the public will back it blindly if it sees it has won by 5 lengths in its previous race in a lower grade. Analyse past races to see if a horse has won or come close in the grade of race it is racing in today. You can discount a horse if it has failed 2 times at the grade when having all other conditions to suit except for when it is running for a new stable which has a good record at rejuvenating horses./PPAlso keep in mind that a horse who has placed in a black type race (i.e grade, 1,2,3) will have a more class than a horse who has a good winning record in Class 2 (B) handicaps, so if it is racing in a Class 2 handicap for the first time, do not discount just because it has never won a race./PPSTRONG3./STRONG Once you have created your shortlist based on the above criteria, you can now get down to the real dirty work of finding the eventual winner. Sometimes you might only be left with 1 horse, sometimes with 8, you must then start applying other filters to see if you can narrow down the list more. Sometimes the odds will allow to dutch 3 horses left if you can not narrow it down anymore. Then go for it as it is a plus EV move./PPHowever be aware that every time you discount you must have a very valid reason backed up by a decent sample size. Heres a list of filters to reduce the shortlist./PPSTRONGWeight/STRONG/PPSome horses as stated earlier have a bigger frame then others, therefore having top weight doesnt make much difference to them, whereas the smaller horse will struggle. Again by studying previous races you will spot a pattern/PPSTRONGOR/STRONG/PPThis is the official rating that the horse racing boards in house handicapper assigns to a horse to determine what weight it should carry in its next horse race. The OR is updated weekly, therefore you sometimes see trainers turn out a horse 3 times in a week to try and take advantage of this before the handicapper reassigns it a higher rating. For an excellent explanation of official hores racing handicapping see this article written by good friend Malcom Smith over at www.UKhorseracing.co.uk./PPAfter a while, horses will reach their peak and start to hover around a certain OR mark. Therefore it will be unlikely that it will win if its OR mark is higher than its highest winning mark unless the horse is an improving progressive sort. But for older horses, this OR mark becomes more important and can be more relied upon./PPSTRONGField Size/STRONG/PPSome horses will not race unless they are covered in the pack, other horses need room otherwise they get into trouble during the race. The trick is to identify these type of horses. You will start to spot where some horses only win in races with less than 8 runners, but never figure in races with more than 12. You can safely assume that he needs the perfect ride in a big runner race but more than likely will not get that (This is when you can factor in the Jockeys ability to see if its ok to rule out this horse or not) The field size matters more in National Hunt, as some horses prefer seeing the jumps early/later and as they are pack animals prefer chasing a leader than actually leading/PPSTRONGSeasonal/STRONG/PPAlot of horses prefer to run in certain times of the year. This could be down to how a trainer prepares the horse over the course of the season and aims it to be at full fitness come March time for example, but other times horses just perform better in certain months. Again by looking at past patterns you will begin to spot these trends./PPSTRONGTrainer Statistics/STRONG/PP8 years ago it was a very profitable trend to follow certain trainers at certain race tracks for certain race types. This edge has slowly eroded since the markets have caught on, however it still needs to be factored in when trying to finalise your short list./PPSTRONGTrainer – Jockey combinations/STRONG/PPIf you try and follow this blindly by backing winning Trainer-Jockey Combos, you will most likely end up with a loss. However it is a good tool to have when you are trying to reduce the shortlist as some stats are just too good to ignore./PPSTRONGJockey Booking/STRONG/PPThis is actually a powerful indicator. However this again doesnt mean much if the horse doesnt first qualify for the 5 essential criteria above. Also if you only ever back horses with the top jockeys on board you are forgoing on EV as, the odds will drop on a horse with the likes of Ruby Walsh or Tony McCoy on board, but odds will still remain good on a horse if for example the jockey booking was Graham Lee, who is a very underrated performer. Look back over past races and see how the horse has performed under their guidance before. You will start to see profitable trends and indicators./PPSTRONGGambling Stables/STRONG/PPThere are a few ways to do this. One is manually record stables where horses have been heavily backed and won. Another way is to look at a horses previous wins and see what the average odds were. The lower the winning odds, the bigger chance that the stable money only goes down when the horse has a good chance of winning (Kevin Ryan is an example of a gambling stable). The higher the odds, means the horse has won races that they werent fully expecting to win and therefore less likely a gambling stable (Veneita Williams comes to mind here for being an honest stable)./PPSTRONGPost Race Comments/STRONG/PPThis is often overlooked. If you see what trainers, jockeys and owners have said to the press after a horse has won (See the racing post website for all the comments), you can pick up some useful information which can help you lean one way or the other on a selection./PPSTRONGPace of the race./STRONG/PPTo understand the pace of the race you first need to figure out what is each horses preferred running style. They can be broken down into front runners, prominent runners, Hold up horses. Heres is a fantastic article which details the breakdown of winning % of different horses running styles compared to the actual number of race entries of horses with different running styles./PPIt shows that you should really be concentrating on front running and prominent horses as it accounts for 65% of winners compared to being only 50% of entries in races. Front runners in particular account for 20% of winners even though they only supply 11% of runners in a race./PPYou can use this to your advantage once you get to know all of the different course types. By backing a front running horse that satisfies the 5 essential criteria on a race course which has a sharp track with a short run in, you have added a few % EV points to your selection./PPAnother factor here is analysing the previous 3 races the horse has ran in and check out the in running comments. Especially look at the horses who came placed or came outside the top 4 but were close near the end. Keep and eye out for comments like finished strongly, kept on well, stayed on well, kept on final furlongand for other tidbits like hampered but then finished strongly. These can point towards a horse who is on the upward curve and given the perfect conditions in the next race will have a very good chance of winning./PPAnother thing to factor in is if a race does not have any natural front runners, then the race will not be run at a true pace, therefore could throw up some very unusual results. It may mean that the horse who has the best speed on a flat track will win when it drives all out in the last furlong./PPWhen the pace of the race is guaranteed, the classier horse which satisfies the essential criteria will more often than not win the race./PPSTRONG4. Resources/STRONG/PPFor 6 years, before getting lured into the world of Online Poker, I punted successfully on horse racing and I used the following resources/PPRatings from ukhorseracing.co.uk./PPThe ratings are based upon advanced pure mathematics but are presented in a an easy to read pdf. The main feature in my view that sets this service apart from alot of pretenders is the Class filter they derive using their mathematical approach. Fantastically accurate for Non Handicap graded races in both National Hunt and Flat racing in the both UK and Irish racing.

It is without doubt the biggest time saving tool when it comes to analysing a race using all the criteria and filters I have mentioned above in the article. The only negative is that they only cover UK horse racing./PPRacing Post Website- Last year they introduced a subscription service and I suppose it was about time considering all the information that it provides. It is essential for anyone serious about racing. I used it to confirm my findings from the ratings and stats mentioned above./PPAt The Races Website – Good for watching previous races and offers different race analysis from the Racing Post.

IMG style=MARGIN: 5px border=0 alt=Sports Card Grading, Baseball, Football, Basketball – Is It Worth It? align=left src=http://www.greatsport.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Sports-Card-Grading-Baseball-Football-Basketball-Is-It-Worth-It-1843.jpg width=231 height=228PWhether or not you are novice or an skilled collector of sports cards, you have possibly heard of, or saw a graded card. No matter if it was in a sports card retailer or on eBay, and so on. But really should you invest in your cards graded? Does that cost go up, down, remain the identical? And what around all the diverse grading firms? Whos reliable, and if you are going to grade, what corporation must you opt for?/PPI will go by way of some of these grading corporations, and hopefully by the finish of this write-up, you must have a improved concept around the globe of sports card grading!/PPSo initial factor to appear at, particularly as a novice is all the distinctive grading firms. So does it matter who your card is graded with? In my opinion of performing this for several years, and most knowledgeable collectors will tell you the exact same./PPFor instance; with just a rapid Google search I identified around 13 distinct card grading corporations! To name a couple of, there is BGS (Beckett Grading Services), PSA (Specialist Sports Authenticator), SGC (Sports Guaranty Corp), GAI (International Authentication Inc), GMA, GEM, Arrow Grading, and a lot of additional! If you are a novice or even an knowledgeable collector but never ever had a card graded, hopefully these subsequent couple of paragraphs will shed some critical light on grading providers.EM Please note: This in my opinion only from undertaking this for quite a few years./EM/PPInitially I will determine the top rated grading firms in my opinion and possibly the opinion of several other knowledgeable collectors. These would be: BGS (Great for rookies, refractors, and autographs). Subsequent, or equally as Excellent, would be PSA (Most likely my top rated opt for for vintage cards). SGC (yet another Wonderful provider for vintage cards). And lastly GAI (they use a small diverse number scale, which I will acquire into in just a moment)./PPNow a lot of of the above will charge a greater value than some of the other individuals mentioned previously in this write-up. But dont forget, you purchase what you spend for. BGS makes use of a 1-ten grading technique (1-poor, ten-Pristine, as nicely as half points like a 9.5-Gem Mint). Likely my favored grading organization subsequent to PSA who also makes use of a 1-ten point grading program, having said that a ten is a Gem Mint (very same as the BGS 9.5..). Trustworthy grading providers will also watch for trimmed cards, or cards that have been tampered with. In a case of a trimmed card (some sellers are not reliable and will attempt to fix their card in an try to make it look like a mint card), the respected grading corporations will not grade these cards. They could put it in a tamper proof case for you, but, they will not put a grade given that the card was tampered with. This is a further cause to use a Wonderful grading provider with skilled graders that have encounter in seeking and obtaining tampered cards./PPGrading with the leading four providers (that I advocate), can tremendously raise the cost if your card is frequently in Excellent condition, like a star rookie card (Arod, Michael Jordan, and so on). Nonetheless, at the identical token, if your card is not in Terrific condition (graders appear at the centering, corners, edges, and surface), it might really drive down the value./PPBeyond the advantages of growing the cost, is also the grading instances themselves. Most grading corporations use a Tamper Proof case. My favorites are BGS and PSA. And with BGS, not only is the card protected, but they also use a clear sheet inside the case more than the top rated of the card for far more protection. But once more, anticipate to spend $11 dollars for a longer turn about time up to $30-$35, plus S/H and insurance, for a 2-5 day turn about. So make positive your card is worth it in the initial location. Nonetheless, I have had cards that are vintage that I knew would not grade high, but getting a preferred player of mine, I have had it graded for the protection of the card./PPIf you are only searching to obtain your card graded for the purpose of Security or to make positive it is in a tamper proof case only, and you do not want to pay $20-$35 dollars plus a massive S/H charge and big quantity of insurance charge; I personally like GMA grading for this, and here is why. In my opinion, they are not the top location to send a rookie Derek Jeter card, or a rookie Adrian Peterson card, or Ted Williams jersey or autograph card. I have personally observed cards from them that are graded Gem Mint ten when the corners are soft or the centering is off by a noticeable quantity. Nevertheless, if you are just seeking at becoming your card in a secure and tamper proof holder (which will involve a grade..), you will invest in your card slabbed in a case quite comparable to a PSA case (not precisely but close) and for only $2.00 per card, with a guaranteed 5 day turn about; you cannot go incorrect. Of course this is my opinion. I personally would not send an costly vintage card to them or the kinds of card listed above. But for their value of $2 bucks, you will at least acquire your card in a tamper proof case./PPIn conclusion; being your cards graded can add a critical quantity of cost to your cards if you initially do your own grading to make confident your card will purchase a decent grade. Otherwise, you might actually locate that the price will go down, if your card gets a decreased grade. Subsequent, use a trustworthy grading provider. BGS or PSA are my leading two favorites (I use BGS for rookies, game utilised, refractors, autographs, and so on) and PSA for my vintage cards, tobacco cards, and so on. Having said that, SGC, GAI are Wonderful grading corporations as nicely, in my opinion./PPLastly be cautious of the fly by night grading providers, (I have observed grading providers that let you to grade your own card and tell them what grade you want.., and other people that use a typical Snap or Magnetic card case to safe your card..). These locations tend to be in corporation one day and gone the subsequent (what if your cards had been with them?). So do your homework. I can personally attest to the professionalism of PSA and BGS and I have utilised each./PPPart of the grading procedure is to make positive the corporation you pick has Expert graders with years of expertise. These experts use a series of strategies to examine all aspects of the card (Corners, Centering, Edges, and Surface). Basically, BGS will even put these stats on the card label (except for BVG, Beckett Vintage Grading, which is nonetheless the exact same business just especially developed for vintage cards). On a regular BGS label it will look silver for grades 1-9.0. Gold for 9.5 and ten. On all common labels from BGS, grades 1-ten, the label, as an example for this write-up, I will use a 9.5 Gem Mint Derek Jeter Rookie from BGS; it would appear one thing like this: Gold colored label, the card information:1993 SP #279 Derek Jeter, the stats would be shown one thing like this: Centering 9.5, Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5, Surface 9.0, the final grade will look like this: STRONG9.5 Gem Mint/STRONG (then the serial # for the BGS grading of that card under the final grade.) That example I made use of is at the moment on ebay suitable now with a invest in it now cost of $2194.99!! Do not know if it will sell, but this just provides you an example of what the suitable variety of grading with a Fantastic provider can do for price!/PPSo do your homework, and attempt carrying out your own grading at home by searching more than the card, certain you could not be a Specialist grader having said that, as you see far more and extra cards, you can see if the corners are damaged, or the centering is off and so on. And use a reliable organization. Please note: the grading corporations I have listed in this post are all existing grading providers as of this write-up date. EMThe recommendations I have given are my opinions only./EM I am not a Qualified Grader, even so, I am an skilled sports card collector of thousands of cards, and have been performing this for lots of years. EMThe views I have expressed are only my particular views from the service I have received from the businesses I have made use of, and the ones I have not are my opinions of what I have noticed for sale, talking with other collectors and so on./EM You could have a great encounter with any of the grading firms, or you may perhaps not. I have my factors which I explained in this post for grading cards, nevertheless, collectors buy cards graded for numerous diverse factors. This is why I advocate to do your homework./PPHopefully this has shed some light on the grading market. Perhaps you will uncover that Gem card, obtain it graded, and discover out the price has improved significantly!
