The advancements in technology have enabled online betting to become extremely popular.  You no longer have to go through a shady bookie, or go to the hassle of making a phone call or attending the event itself. With online betting, you can do it from anywhere, control your distractions and control the time it takes to bet, which gives you peace of mind. Betting can be a stressful activity but doing it online can be much more relaxing.

You can bet on a variety of sports like horse racing, rugby, football, cricket, tennis, golf, boxing, greyhound racing, badminton and more. If that doesn’t quench your gambling thirst, you can also play casino games online with real money. Every day, there are hundreds of thousands of betting enthusiasts all over the world willing to test their luck online.

However, there are a few things to consider before jumping in:

1. Know the law* – Before you do anything, make sure you know the local laws about placing bets and wagering money online.
2. Pick the right website – Do your research and look up some reviews before choosing a betting website. Don’t base your decision solely on appealing graphics or pictures.  Read the website itself for payment methods, betting options and bonuses for loyal players.
3. Pick your poison carefully – Know a lot about whatever you are betting on. Whether you’re an expert on the horse racing circuit or a card shark at the casino tables, choose your strengths.
4. Most people lose – Betting is a form of gambling so there are winners and there are losers. The ratio of winners to losers is about 1/10, so don’t expect to rake in the winnings when you first start off. You may experience beginner’s luck but don’t get caught up in it and cloud your judgment because it may not last. Learn from the losses and how to play against the odds.
5. Avoid addiction – Despite contrary opinion, there is so much of a good thing. Gambling is one such example and a gambling addiction can become a serious problem. Don’t get wrapped up in a win. Bet what you can afford. Use money from your entertainment budget, not from basic needs such as food or clothing. Keep it fun. When you don’t enjoy it anymore, it’s time to stop

The NBA playoffs began over the weekend and it has been an odd postseason so far. At this point, the playoffs have been more notable for the non-participants than for anything that has happened in the games. Due perhaps to the lockout or perhaps to just bad luck, many of the marquee players are watching their teams compete from the bench. Dwight Howard is out after back surgery. Derrick Rose is out with a blown ACL. Amar’e Stoudemire is out after punching the glass case of a fire extinguisher. Iman Shumpert and Jeremy Lin are both lost for the Knicks due to knee injuries. Chauncey Billips is out with an Achilles injury. Ray Allen’s minutes have been limited due to an ankle injury and the Lakers’ Ron Artest is serving a suspension for elbowing an opponent. It’s been that type of postseason.

In part due to the injuries, the playoffs haven’t been as competitive as we would like. Four of the eight series have the higher seed up 2-0 (Spurs over Jazz, Thunder over Mavericks, Lakers over Nuggets and Heat over Knicks). In one other series, the Magic seem overmatched and despite stealing game 1, looked bad in losing the next two. It has become clear that Orlando is not a good team without Howard. Likewise, the Knicks show no hope of beating Miami without their injured guards. The Rose injury hurts the Bulls and gives the 76ers new life, but Chicago is still heavily favored.

The two most competitive series, not surprisingly, seem to be the two four versus five matchups. The Grizzlies and Clippers are tied at one game apiece, as are the Celtics and Hawks. All four games have been close and evenly matched, making them the most watchable series so far.

Without Rose, oddsmakers have downgraded the Bulls’ championship odds. The NBA’s top overall seed were 7-2 odds to win the championship but without Rose they are now 15-2. Someone has to pick up the slack and in this case it was the Heat. Miami jumped from 2-1 favorites to 3-2 odds.
