Hello from Niagara Falls, Ontario - A City of Lights and ... It had been an exciting day already: my helicopter ride with Niagara Helicopter had given me a close-up aerial view over Niagara Falls and my visit to the Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory had made for a perfect winter escape to a tropical sanctuary. But more adventure was yet to come. Appropriately strengthened from my very late lunch at “The Famous”, a 24-hour upscale diner at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort, I was ready for my evening explorations. First on the menu was. . .
Hello from Niagara Falls - Exploring the Clifton Hills En... Yesterday morning my last full day in Niagara Falls, Ontario, had arrived. After a packed schedule the day before that had included a wonderful presentation at the Imax Theatre, my up-close encounter with the Great Falls at the Journey Behind the Falls and an entertaining show at the Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Theatre, I got ready for another full day of explorations in Niagara Falls. I already got a great start to the day when Kevin Kilpatrick, the gourmet chef and co-owner of Kilpatrick . . .
Will the UK smoking ban call 'House' on bingo halls? Bingo has proven to be one of the British public’s favourite pastimes for decades, with the enduring image of brightly lit halls and air thick with smoke being the first thing many people will think of when the game is mentioned. Now, however, with the smoking ban in effect across Britain, many bingo enthusiasts prefer to stay at home and play online at any one of several gambling web sites, where they can enjoy a cigarette without interrupting their game or having to go and stand out. . .

Coming into this season, the Tennessee Volunteers were loaded, with four starters back to a team that led Ohio State by 20 in March before folding in the wake of a Sweet 16 appearance. Coach Bruce Pearl likes an uptempo style and this season they are averaging 86 ppg. A year ago they averaged 81 ppg behind a three-guard lineup. That uptempo attack is why they went 17-9 over the total two years ago and 19-13 over the total last season. However, that came at a cost: The Vols ranked l. . .
A key to deciphering basketball point spreads and totals is finding out what is going on inside a team. Stats can only tell you so much. Are the players passionate? Is the coach competent? Does one injury make a difference? Or will an injury bury a team for a stretch? Find out what players and coaches are saying is an excellent way to get inside the huddle and practices of teams. However, one must weigh quotes with caution and careful thinking. Because sometimes talk is cheap and do. . .
Handicapping the College Bowls Courtesy of Scott Spreitzer @ www.vegasonlinesports.com You're probably chomping at the bit to bet some of the upcoming bowl games. But don't rush into any mistakes that you'll live to regret! Here are some tips you should consider as you analyze the card: *Remember that the style of play in this year's bowl games is likely to be different than last year. Many handicappers and wagerers were caught off guard in September of this season because the game had changed so muc. . .
Who's Gunning for NFL Juggernauts? Everybody! Courtesy of Jim Feist @ www.vegasonlinesports.com It's been a unique season for powerhouses in the NFL, with the Packers and Cowboys starting 10-1 in the NFC before facing each other last week, and the Patriots starting 11-0. Not since 1972 has a team run the table in the NFL. Since then, parity and the salary cap have leveled the playing field and schedules are longer, all of which makes it that much harder to go undefeated. In fact, that 1972 Miami Dolphins 17-0 team was the only. . .
Super Bowl 42: Foot and Mouth Concerns It seems like foot and mouth disease has been the subject of a lot of focus for Super Bowl 42: The foot of QB Tom Brady and the big mouths of some of the Giants. Patriots coach Bill Belichick is always hush-hush about injuries, even minor ones. His thinking is not to let the opposition know anything, no matter how minute. He would rather force the other team to prepare for every player, rather than let the opponent know who's in and who's out. Yes, it's a bit Nixonian in its secrecy, but . . .
College Hoops Takes Center Stage With the Super Bowl in the rearview mirror, the next big event on the sports stage is college basketball's season-ending tournaments. Since 1997, college basketball's national champion has come from several different conferences: the Pac 10 (Arizona), SEC (Kentucky and Florida), Big 10 (Michigan State), the ACC (Duke, Maryland, North Carolina), and the Big East (UConn, Syracuse). Over the next few weeks, let's examine some of the top hoop teams in each conference, starting this week with . . .
College Hoops: Rivalry and Revenge Spots College basketball handicapping encompasses more than match-up angles and coaching. Home court, revenge, look-ahead spots and injuries all can be important factors when trying to determine who has the edge against the number. With conference play in full swing, revenge, rivalry and payback spots are all factors to be weighed. Last week I had a play on Syracuse when they were at Villanova. In my analysis on the game I wrote, "Nova was a winner at the Carrier Dome in the season's firs. . .
So last year Peyton Manning got his first ring. Does little brother Eli get it now? Or do Tom Brady and Bill Belichick cap off a historic 19-0 season? Back in August New England was the favorite at 3-to-1 to win the Super Bowl, while the Giants were 28-to-1, with six NFC teams ahead of them (Saints, Bears, Seahawks, Panthers, Cowboys and Eagles). For the first time in four years the NFC's No. 1 seed didn't make it and the first time in five years that the top seed in the AFC did. We. . .
Recent History vs Season Totals Understand that oddsmakers base their numbers in large part on stats. The Golden State Warriors, for example, average 112 ppg at home with their uptempo style. On the road, though, they average just 106 ppg. So when making a side or total, the oddsmaker has to factor in the difference whether that team is home or away. The Warriors are 13-8 over the total at home, 12-10 under on the road. But when we are this far along in the NBA season, for me it's more important to examine recent . . .
Courtesy of Jim Feist @ http://www.jimfeist.com/blogs-jim-feist.html So what do you prefer: offense or defense? Most casual bettors like offense, which is why Monday night football games often take more action on the over. There have been some terrific offensive football teams that last few years, such as USC and Texas in 2005, Ohio State last year, and pro passing attacks like the Rams, Colts, Dick Vermeil's Chiefs and this year's Patriots. However, what two teams played . . .
Courtesy of Glenn McGrew @ http://www.vegasonlinesports.com 1) NEW ENGLAND: Finally, a hyped game that lived up to expectations! The two best teams in the league had at it and, not surprisingly, the best quarterback in the league made all the big plays in the 4th quarter. 2) INDIANAPOLIS: It may not have mattered but Colts did play without Marvin Harrison and left tackle Tony Ugoh. And Indy limited a New England team averaging 41 ppg to just 10 through 3 1/2 quarters. 3) . . .
Reality and Myths of Rushing Attempts Courtesy of Bryan Leonard @ http://www.vegasonlinesports.com "Run the football more times, and you win." I hear this all the time, on television and on radio. When examining key games, analysts often conclude one team failed to run the football enough times, and the opponent pulled won the game simply because they had more rushing attempts. This is a common theme in the NFL. Joe Gibbs of the Redskins, Herm Edwards of the Chiefs and Jon Fox of the Panthers are old school in this. . .
Courtesy of http://www.jimfeist.com There's plenty of anger in football, as it's a violent sport with athletes crashing into each other for sixty minutes each weekend. If you watched the Patriots/Colts showdown, this was on display as both teams played a hard-hitting game, one reason the score was lower than oddsmakers thought. From a handicapping point of view, how team's use anger is important to understand. Even head coaches can get angry, blasting a team at the half or in . . .
Stryker's System: Last Home Game Honey! Courtesy of Tom Stryker @ http://www.vegasonlinesports.com Since emotions play a big part in college football handicapping, "Last Home Game" sets can be very profitable. I've been monitoring a handful of great "LHG" systems and the one I'm going to share with you today is pretty powerful. This one is called "Last Home Game Honey" and its results have been phenomenal. Take a look. On the blind, teams playing in their last home game of the season hold a 350-301 ATS record for 53.. . .
Courtesy of http://www.vegasonlinesports.com Of course, you know the technical lover in me had to dig a little deeper to see if posting a shutout led to profits anywhere else. Surprisingly, there wasn't much. Overall, teams coming off a shutout victory owned a reliable 73-42 ATS record provided they were matched up against an opponent that entered off a straight up loss as a favorite. You can store that one for later because no teams apply this weekend. Since 1980, road te. . .
