Wholesale quarterback changes are on the docket for Week 10 of the NFL season. Rex Grossman is definitely in; Byron Leftwich and Daunte Culpepper might be joining him. But the most bizarre situation is in Cleveland, where it’s as plain as day that coach Romeo Crennel is not calling the shots. The Browns will start Brady Quinn on Thursday, and that’s where we start our preview of the week’s three most important matchups (for current lines, visit Bodoglife.com).
Well, that was a long time coming. The San Diego Chargers (3-5 SU, 3-4-1 ATS) finally gave defensive co-ordinator Ted Cottrell his walking papers on Tuesday. Inside linebackers coach Ron Rivera is his replacement.
There’s no place like home for the holidays – even for Columbus Day. Home teams were 11-3 SU and 8-6 ATS last week in the NFL; home dogs won three of five games outright, led by the St. Louis Rams (+9) beating the Dallas Cowboys 34-14 and causing panic throughout the great state of Texas.
Baseball is the gift that keeps on giving. No other sport provides as many opportunities for winning as America’s national pastime; imagine a 162-game NFL regular season, only with softer betting lines.
The playoffs are even sweeter for sharp handicappers. Just by following the simple “take the underdog” method, they’ve earned 4.17 units on a record of 12-12. You won’t find a system that’s any easier to manage than that. At this time of year, all the teams are very good, and it’s easy to get overly dramatic about their differences in talent level. The betting market floods with fans betting blindly on their heroes. Their money is yours for the taking.
Live sports betting is the way it should be. Online technology has advanced to the point where we can do all our banking and investing over the internet in real time. That technology is also available to handicappers; with Bodog Live, not only can you bet on the outcome of the game, you can bet on the outcome of every play. It’s an intense interactive experience for anyone watching the game live on television – or even in person.
Football preview for week 7 NFL action – all NFL games are viewed and previewed:
San Diego Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills
The Chargers looked OK on Sunday night, but it was a closer game than the final score showed. The San Diego secondary is still suspect and not playing up to its talent level. The Bills on the other hand have been playing solid football and are at home. They will sneak out a victory in a close one.

Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta has the second best rushing offense in the league so far and Michael Turner has looked almost unstoppable at home. Brian Urlacher doesn’t care. Chicago will shut down the run and force “Matty Ice” to go downfield.

The long, dark days of the offseason are behind us. Life has finally begun again. And by “life,” of course we mean spending every Sunday watching football on the couch armed with a full cooler, a pizza the size of a hubcap and a plasma screen the size of Montana. To celebrate, here’s a shameless list of the…

In the game of Razz, starting hand selection is very important. Unlike games such as Omaha or Texas Holdem, you can’t hit a monster hand with any old cards. This is a low-hand game, so you must start with low cards if you want a chance to win a hand. Razz is played in the 7-Stud format, so your first three cards will help you decide if you’re going to play the hand.
You should have no cards higher than an 8 in the first three cards you are dealt. Sometimes you can go to the 9, but 9-high rarely wins a hand. Stick with the 8 rule, and if it’s the beginning of a tournament you can drop it down to 7-high. The only other times you might consider playing three first cards bigger than a 9 would be if all of your opponents are showing big cards and your up card is small, or if it’s late in a tournament and there’s pressure from the blind levels. Then you come in with a raise and you can often pick up the pot right there.
There are no other exceptions for playing hands with cards bigger than 9. You drastically decrease your odds of winning if you do, so stick to the rule and you’ll find success.
