BetUS is offering lines on all UFC 96 bouts on March 7, 2009 at 10 PM EST. Several fights on the undercard are interesting, but the fight of the night may be Keith Jardine (-350) vs. Quinton €œRampage€ Jackson (+250). Jackson, with his December 2008 win vs. Silva, could have waited for his shot at the UFC light heavyweight title, has decided to take this match against Jardine to stay in shape. Jardine, the heavy favorite, will be wise to remain wary of Jackson’s attempts to get this fight to the ground where Jackson would have the advantage.

Earlier this month, I wrote that: “From now until Super Bowl 43 on February 1, Sportsbetting.com is doubling is initial deposit bonus for new customers from 10% to 20%. You must enter promo code SBTWENTY in order to get the bonus.”
Guess what? The folks at Sportsbetting.com have upped their offer again to a massive 43% when you use offer code 4THREESB. Their fine print:
1.Offer expires February 1st, 2009
2.5x rollover in Sportsbook, 25x rollover in Casino. Bonus funds cannot be used in our Poker room.
3.We reserve the right to rescind the offer or change the terms prior to the expiry date.
4.This promo code can only be used once per account. Only one account allowed per person.

I recently upgraded my mobile handset from a Motorola Razor camera phone to a Blackberry Curve personal digital assistant (PDA).
Wow. What a difference.
One of things that I tried was placing a wager at Intertops using their PDA-optimized site.
Overall, it worked and I was able to place a wager.
The default value for a wager is 1. The first time that I tried to make a wager, I inadvertently hit the wrong key on my Blackberry, and the bet was submitted and accepted. I expected an intermediate page to review and confirm the bet, as on the main Intertops site.
OK. So now I had a wager of 1 on the event. To get the wager to the correct amount, I placed an additional wager on the same event. To my pleasant surprise, I was told that I already had a wager on the event, and was asked to confirm the additional wager on the same event. Good design — this should be done on the main Intertops site, too.
As on the normal browser-based Intertops site, I was able to review my past and pending wagers. However, the formatting on the PDA was nonexistent; the data should be properly formatted.
Not all bet types are offered; for example, it did not appear that I could tease an NFL game. I would expect to see additional types of wagers available on the PDA over time.
Overall, Intertops has done a decent job with the basics. A little fit-and-finish work, a few more features…. and they’ll have a very good PDA-optimized site.

Well, this is a first! No good MLB totals wagers today. I am leaning toward MIN @ CHW u9.5 and MIL @ COL u10.5, but the terms would have to move 5 points in my favor before this bet would have a positive expected value (EV). If the MIN @ CHW game moves from u9.5 -110 to -115, then I’d take that bet. Also, if the MIL @ COL game moves from u10.5 -115 to -110, I’d take that bet as well.
One of the reasons that my model did not generate any totals bets is due to the weather. As a rule of thumb, add 1/2 run when the game time temperature approaches 90F, and subtract 1/2 run when the game time temperature approaches 55F. There are six games today that are being played where it is pretty hot today, and adding the 1/2 run to these games’ totals resulted in a “no bet” for several of these games.
Here are today’s picks, made moments ago at Intertops.

I’ve continued to post my MLB totals picks each day. Overall, I am 75-70 (51.72% winning percentage), for a net loss of $31.28 (-0.97% return on investment).
This briings to mind a point to consider if you read on the internet about a guy whose sports handicapping system is “9-3 in his last 12 SOLID LOCK PICKS†(or some similar claim). The point is this: Your record is irrelvant. What is relevant is your return on investment — how much money these picks made relative to the size of the bets that one had to make to win the money.
Here’s an illustration of my point: Suppose a handicapper claims to have a 9-3 record in his last 12. This could easily have resulted in a net loss if each of his picks was a heavy favorite, say -300 or worse. In fact, if each of his picks were at an average of -300, a 9-3 record is break even, and actually will have cost you money once you factor in the price of making deposits and withdrawals at some online sportsbooks.
I’d really love to see handicappers post their return on investment, rather than their win-loss record, when touting a sports betting system.
