Karol Lucan - ArticlesSports Betting Has Come a Long Way, Baby, and Roxy Roxborough Gets Much of the CreditIn the beginning, God created the heavens and Earth. But it wasn’t until an innovative oddsmaker came along that the genesis of sports betting, a biblical event in the history of human existence for those who spend their autumn Sundays praying not for salvation but for a cover, became the mega-industry that it is today. College Football Betting, Nfl Betting or Both?Most unsophisticated sports bettors hit the gridiron running, with little or no concern for whether their best chance for success rests with college football betting, NFL betting or a combination of both. To be sure, while the NCAA and NFL games fundamentally are the same, subtle dissimilarities between the Saturday and Sunday products, as they relate to a player’s ability to digest and understand data, can make the difference between winning and losing: 2007 Nfl Betting: Analyzing the Nfc SouthGranted, New Orleans isn’t going to surprise anyone this year but with a solid cast, a new winning attitude, and only Carolina as serious division opposition, the Saints should march to another NFC South title. The Panthers look good enough to battle for an NFC wild card. (2006 regular season records in parentheses): 2007 Nfl Betting: Analyzing the Nfc NorthThe Bears have a much more difficult schedule than a year ago when they won 13 games but the NFC North is so weak that it will be difficult for Chicago not to win 10 or 11 games and capture a third straight division title. (2006 regular season records in parentheses): 2007 Nfl Betting: Analyzing the Nfc EastThe NFC East remains the most competitive division in the NFL, with every team capable to beating (or losing) to every other. The most consistent team will win the division. (2006 regular season records in parentheses): 2007 Nfl Betting: Analyzing the Afc WestLike the Patriots, Ravens and Colts, the Chargers are the class of their division, arguably the best team in the NFL. Unlike New England, Baltimore and Indianapolis, however, San Diego will get a stern test for the division title from rivals Denver and Kansas City. (2006 regular season records in parentheses): 2007 Nfl Betting: Analyzing the Afc SouthLike most recent defending Super Bowl champions, the Colts may find it difficult to repeat, but winning another AFC South title should be no problem. Indianapolis has a wide edge over its division rivals. (2006 regular season records in parentheses): 2007 Nfl Betting: Analyzing the Afc NorthThe Ravens won the division by five games last season and while the margin may not be as significant this year, Baltimore should have little difficulty defending against wild card hopefuls Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. (2006 regular season records in parentheses): 2007 Nfl Betting: Analyzing the Afc EastAny unbiased assessment would mark the Patriots as the clear division favorite with a good chance to challenge the Colts, Chargers and Ravens to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. (2006 regular season records in parentheses): 2008 Presidential Election Betting Hits the Online Sportsbook Campaign TrailNot that members of the sports betting industry needed it but when Chris Matthews, the loquacious and assertive host of MSNBC’s Hardball, quoted odds on the 2008 race for President of the United States, the practice of betting on elections gained a measure of acceptability.
