Guide to On-line Sports Betting for Novice's
Sports betting is not a game!Well, to many people sports betting is first class excitement as well as great entertainment, but you should always keep in mind that the betting industry is not here to entertain you - the bookmakers want your money and punters (gamblers) want to beat the bookies. That is the simple truth of betting; still you can have great fun betting if you control your stakes in a sensible manor and of course win more than you lose! Both tasks are easier said than done, but hopefully this guide will increase your chances of success.Step 1: Choose your bookmaker(s)Novices to on-line betting will without a doubt face a number of confusing aspects in their effort to choose their bookmaker.First of all, there is the media (computer and internet) which you may not be familiar with. Surfing a bookie website can actually be somewhat difficult even for experienced internet users; often due to a confusing interface, the mere complexity of information presented to you and perhaps the many possibilities of taking different actions on the website. But no need to worry - in time most people familiarize with several website interfaces.Secondly, the number of bookies in the on-line betting industry has exploded over the past few years, and they are not all reliable, which means that you could end up making a bad choice. To avoid this have a look at our list of reliable bookmakers or if you have friends who bet on-line ask them for advice. You can also visit some of the many fora concerned with betting or read through the chapter What is a quality bookmaker? presented in this guide to get an idea of what characteristics a reliable and fair bookmaker usually possess.Start your betting experience by choosing only one bookmaker. This will make you familiar with the different types of odds, games and so forth without having to deal with two or more interfaces. By the time you feel comfortable with the website of that bookie and might have become serious about winning money you should definitely sign up with more bookmakers. The reason for this is simply that you only want to place your money where it will do you most good; using the bookie with the highest odds on an event gives you higher profit in case you win.Step 2: Open an accountNaturally there are different ways of doing this depending on the bookmakers, but in general you need to fill in a standard registration form. At the same time you need to register payment method for example by credit card. Before you give away sensitive information of this kind make sure that the bookmaker has a serious security politic. Approximately 24 hours later the bookmaker will confirm that your credit card has been accepted. Your username and password will then be sent to you either by email or post delivery. You are ready to rumble?Step 3: What type of bet?Keep it simple in the beginning. Pick the sports, leagues or players that you have extensive knowledge about. Use oddsDNA.com to find additional up-to-date stats on the subjects in question, before you buy your ticket (bet slip).Most people are familiar with 1X2-odds so it is recommendable to stick to this type of odds until you feel more confident with the on-line betting environment.Step 4: Place your bets, please!Once you have found an interesting play that you want to back up, just put a little amount of your deposit at stake - if you have means like the king of Saudi Arabia, then just forget that last remark. Familiarize yourself to the experience of loosing and winning before you raise your stakes. When you have placed your bet there is no turning back - for better or for worse.Step 5: Loser or winner?Should you lose on your first bet, then rest assure it has happened too many people before you. Better luck next time?Actually, winning the first bet sometimes make people careless, in terms of them thinking they have a special ability to foresee the outcome of a game without researching for facts on teams and players firs

Premiership Highs and Lows - Manchester United
Most fans of english football and the Premiership in particular would agree that Manchester United have certainly had their share of 'Highs' in the twelve seasons since the Premiership began .......... and what would be considered a 'Low' by Utd fans (such as finishing third behind Arsenal and Chelsea) would in fact be considered a significant 'High' by most other clubs!Here are what I consider to be some of Manchester United's major highs and lows since the inaugural Premiership season kicked off in 1992:*** Highs ***Out of a total of just twelve seasons, Man. United have lifted the Premiership trophy no less than eight times and a particular high was taking the title in the very first Premiership season.United have achieved the Premiership and F.A. Cup 'double' three times ....... in 1994, 1996 and in 1999.They have won more Premiership games, won more points and suffered less defeats than any other team in the league. Manchester United have scored the greatest number of goals overall since the Premiership began and in fact also hold the record for the most goals scored in a single season: 97 scored in 1999-2000.United also hold the record for the highest number of games in a Premiership game which they achieved in March 1995 with a 9-0 victory against Ipswich ....... a game where Andy Cole scored five of the goals.*** Lows ***One recent major low for Manchester United came at the end of the 2003-2004 season when they not only finished outside of the top two (a full fifteen points behind the winners Arsenal) but also equalled their lowest ever points total for a season.How many can forget frenchman Eric Cantona's infamous flying kung fu attack on a fan at Crystal palace in 1995? His kick may have looked at home in a Bruce Lee film but it earned him an eight month suspension which many consider was a major factor in United losing the title that season to Blackburn Rovers.In 2003 there were two major lows for Manchester United:The first was David Beckham leaving to join Real Madrid. His ?25 million transfer fee was good for the United coffers but not so good for the team as there was no suitable replacement waiting to step into his shoes. The second was defender Rio Ferdinand, the record ?30 million signing from Leeds United, being banned for eight months for missing a routine drugs test. For anyone interested in a very detailed, month by month view of Manchester United's twelve years in the Premiership, I fully recommend 'The Breedon Book of Premiership Records' by Breedon Books which is available from their website at:http://www.breedonbooks.co.uk/publications/1859834191.htmlChris TowlandAbout the author:Chris is the webmaster of www.football-nut.co.ukwhere he challenges you to prove your football knowledge and win prizes in the free monthly football quiz and prize draw.
