Still alive and kicking Agen Slot ?

By Philip Baker

 

 

No, this blog is not dead (yet).

 

For the moment I´m putting more effort in my poker blog than in my sportsbetting blog and there are only 24 hours in a day. And off course you can only write about poker if you are playing poker.

 

Also don´t underestimate the effort needed to find each week interesting matches and try to come up with the good analysis. Therefore I have decided that for next season I will use a different approach.

 

Unibet offers each week a big https://www.southendformaggio.com/  Toto. Each week 14 matches. Most of the time from England, France, Spain, Germany and Italy.

 

Filling out a ticket costs only 0,10€. With other words peanuts.

 

Each week I will discuss during the week these games and will fill in 5 to 10 tickets. So at maximum it will cost me one whole euro a week. An amount which I can easily miss (I hope!!).

 

This way I will rule out the mistake I sometimes make with selecting games with a feeling, which is not always a good thing to do.

 

Sometimes there are also midweek toto´s with for instance the Uefa Cup and/or Champions league matches. Depending on the time I have I will also give comment on these SuperToto. The disadvantage is that within these Toto´s you need to have 7 or 8 out of 8 correct to fall into the prices and only these toto´s are more expensive.

 

So at maximum there will be around 50€ at stake.

 

If someone is interested to help me with the games of Spain or France, please leave me a comment. My knowledge about these strong competition is pretty low, so help is always welcome.

 

Also my stats pages are going to change cause most of the stats which are present now will be meaningless within the new approach.

 

Weekend picks

Almost the end of the football season. An excellent time to prove that I have it in me to choose the correct bets with the correct result.

 

Belgium

Nothing is decided yet. It is already know that Lierse or Beveren will relegate directly and that the other will have to play the face-offs. The title fight is getting to its summit. Anderlecht has to play a derby at home against Brussels (the president of Brussels promised an extra bonus if they beat Anderlecht) after there elimination in the Belgium Cup last Wednesday. Racing Genk has to face Charlerloi at home. Charlerloi was the only team who was capable of claiming the victory against in the first part of the season.

 

Racing Genk (2) – Charlerloi (5) (1.33, 4.50, 9.00)

It will be close but I expect a victory for Racing Genk, based on the home advantage. They never play good against Charlerloi but a lot is going on in Charlerloi. The head coach was sacked two weeks ago cause he signed for Club Brugge.

 

Germany

Still 3 teams in the running for the title. Schalke has a difficult away game at Dortmund. Stuttgart has to travel to Bochum and Werder has to face Frankfurt @ home.

 

Werder Bremen (3) – Frankfurt (14) (1.33, 4.50, 9.85)

Werder cannot afford a misstep in this phase of the competition. So it predict an easy victory for Werder.

 

England

The title is for Man U.

 

Liverpool (3) – Charlton (19) (1.40, 4.10, 8.50)

If Liverpool wins they are sure of the third place and direct qualification for the CL. Should not be a problem!

 

Spain

5 more match days to go. Barca has a lead of 2 points on Real and 4 on Sevilla. While the chances of Sevilla have decreased a lot after the loss against Real, they cannot be counted out (yet). Also curious how Barca is going to react on the blow they got in the Cup. A 4-0 loss in Getafe. I would stay away from the relegation battles, which will be fought this weekend. To much at stake and almost unpredictable.

 

Barcelona (1) – Betis Sevilla (15) (1.25 , 5.25, 12.00)

Again no double this year for Barcelona. Last Wednesday they got a blow which can count. Betis is going to pay the bill for this defeat in the semies of the Cup. I guess that Sevilla again is going to loose some points. So with a victory Barca can eliminate Sevilla in the title race.

Damp Start To The Togel Singapore K-League

By Philip Baker

 

 

Despite an exceptionally mild winter on the Korean peninsula, the media gloomily predicted that the K-League opening round of fixtures would be played under foul weather. According to the 14 coaches, it didn’t matter as they promised that a new era of attractive football would at least brighten moods, if not skies.

 

It didn’t really turn out that way – though Chunnam Dragons’ pink away kit shone through the greyness. The Gwangyang-based team sported the shirts in the season curtain-raiser at Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma. The match was the only Saturday game and gave champions Seongnam and the FA Cup holders a chance to get the ball rolling.

 

In truth, it wasn’t the best of games but matters livened up a little in the second half. Lively Chunnam striker Sandro Hiroshi had troubled the home defence all afternoon and his free-kick rebounded off the Seongnam wall to be hooked smartly home by the loitering Song Jong-hyun.

 

Seongnam fought back but it took the addition of substitute and $2 million new signing Choi Sung-kuk to make the difference. “Little Maradona” bamboozled sometime national team-mate Kim Jin-kyu and was brought down by the ex-Jubilo Iwata defender. Brazilian hotshot Mota made no mistake from the spot to earn a point for the champs.

 

The other six matches took place on a very wet and windy Sunday afternoon. The two biggest games of the day took place in Seoul and Suwon respectively. In the capital, it was supposed to be the start of a new era with new boss Senol Gunes. Turkey’s 2002 World Cup coach taking the reins.

 

There wasn’t much excitement on display in Seoul World Cup Stadium for the visit of Daegu. Most of the fans seemed more concerned with sitting far back enough to escape the reach of the rain and those who had their view blocked by umbrellas missed little of note in the first period.

 

The second half was slightly better though it was always going to be a mistake that decided the Togel Singapore game. It came just after half-time and a slip from a Daegu defender let in Lee Chung-yong and the 18 year-old slotted the ball home coolly. Soon after, substitute striker Jung Jo-gook fired home from 20 yards to seal the win for a sluggish Seoul side.

 

Ahn Jung-hwan was the big draw at Suwon Samsung Bluewings. The Lord of the Ring was making his first appearance in Asia’s oldest professional league since 2000 and seemed off the pace against Daejeon Citizen. The 31 year-old had little impact on the game and was withdrawn after 57 minutes, three minutes after Daejeon, a team that has a very good record against the three-time champions, took the lead.

 

Suwon fought back to equalize and then score the winner with four minutes remaining. Ahn Hyo-yeon headed home to ensure that at least one Ahn would make the headlines.

 

To the south-west, Asian champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors started in blistering fashion. New signing and Macedonia star striker Stevica Ristic needed only 50 seconds to get on the scoresheet at Gwangju Sangmu. 15 minutes later, 2006 Rookie of the Year Yeom Ki-hoon recorded his second assist of the day to set up Kim Hyeung-bom.

 

Lee Chun-soo was nowhere to be seen as Ulsan Hyundai Horang-I took the lead at home to Gyeongnam FC. Unfortunately for the 2005 champions, Everaldo De Jesus Pereira marked his K-League debut with a goal to earn a 1-1 draw for the visitors.

 

Incheon United could be in for a long season as they crashed to an opening-day home defeat at the hands of Pohang Steelers. Pohang boss Sergio Farias said earlier in the week that Koh Ki-goo was capable of replacing Lee Dong-gook. Few believed the Brazilian but Koh grabbed the only goal of the game on the west coast.…

What Skeptical Finance Workers Say About Crypto Gamblingv

By Philip Baker

 

 

As our readers may know, I am a cryptocurrency evangelist and love to talk about Bitcoin and altcoins until I am blue in the face with anyone who will listen. Apart from fielding questions and concerns from Bitcoin beginners, this means that I also talk to many people who either do not fully understand cryptos or people who have absolutely no faith in them.

 

Recently I had two of these conversations, one with a close friend and one with a close family member. Both of these individuals remain skeptical of and cynical about Bitcoin, and both of them are heavily involved in traditional investments.

 

THE INVESTMENT BANK CONSULTANT

One of these two works for one of the largest investment and financial services banks in the world as a consultant. He knows finance back to front, and is an incredibly sharp person. He fails to see Bitcoin as anything more permanent than a financial fad. That is to say, he does not believe that cryptocurrencies’ tokens will have huge impacts on the global markets.

 

He may not be entirely off about this. We keep talking about how the market cap for Bitcoin and other altcoins is incredibly high, but they’ve only recently passed the value of some -albeit large- companies. Cryptos may just not be on the caliber needed yet to be game changing as currencies. Though, the Consultant did concede that trading may still be viable, since many businesses that he is invested in also are not fundamentally shaping the market with their overall value.

 

What he did find most valuable was the concept of the Blockchain. For the Consultant, a distributed public ledger could bring markets and many other aspects of financial life closer to a trustless business model. This is what he thinks can be a game changer. Though, he noted that since the technology is open source, the Blockchain can be implemented without having tokens themselves being traded -however I suspect that as long as tokens are mined/minted, people will trade them as assign them value-.

 

THE TRADITIONAL TRADER

The other individual in our two stories is a good friend of mine who works as a Quantitative Data Scientist, he also is very active on the stock market. He and I will text daily about various positions on the market. “Wtf is Tesla doing right now?!” “Ahh! I should’ve shorted Snapchat!” and other messages like this are typical for some of our conversations. I’ll also add in “Hey, did you see that Bitcoin passed $2,000 a coin today?!”

 

He always is flabbergasted by the performance of Bitcoin, and other alts. “But it’s not backed by anything, like, no institutions are buying it up or have it in reserve like USD.” Again, he is not wrong. Bitcoin is not a reserve currency like USD is. Bitcoin is also the antithesis of many values which large banking institutions -both private and government- hold. He does admit that there may be some money to be made -and lost- in the volatile nature of cryptos.

 

I think the heart of his thinking here is that Bitcoin, to both of them really, does not seem like a long term viable investment in Crypto Gambling. For me, this is a difference of opinion. Where they are placing more faith in current institutions -that may adopt various aspects of cryptocurrencies-, I place more faith in the disruptive power of cryptocurrencies to institutional norms.…

Instant Energy without Energy Drinks and Energy nutrition by Vimgo

By Philip Baker

 

In today’s world there is no such thing as too much energy. Everyone wants energy, as much as they can pack in. And they want to have the energy instantly. Energy drinks have filled in this modern human need quite effectively. They give you the instant burst of energy that you always wanted. Energy when you need it — like flicking a switch.

Many people go for energy drinks at times of increased physical and mental stress — to improve their alertness, concentration, and performance. Surveys have shown that many of the world’s top athletes and drivers consume energy drinks. Many people with active lifestyles depend on energy drinks to revitalize their body and mind. While the short-term effectiveness of energy drinks cannot be disputed, their long-term effects need to be carefully studied.

 

Energy drink companies also claim that their products enhance focus and concentration, improve short term memory, and contain much less sugars than normal soft drinks.

Most energy drinks are said to provide a combination of B vitamins, amino acids, and stimulants such as caffeine or guarana. Energy drinks come in different fruity flavors. What energy drinks do is convert sugars contained in them (fructose and glucose) into energy and at the same time stimulate the red blood cells to release more oxygen. This is the source of the instant energy in the energy drinks.

 

Energy nutritionEnergy drinks also contain citric acid which is harmful to the teeth. The unpredictability of the use of energy drinks lies in the fact that they produce different reactions in different people. Energy drinks have stimulating properties that can boost the heart rate and blood pressure. Taken in excess, energy drinks can dehydrate the body and, like other stimulants, they also prevent sleep.

 

But as long as the modern world demands high-intensity bursts of energy from the human beings who run it, people will continue to consume energy drinks. The question is how to get instant energy without the drawbacks associated with energy drinks.

 

Fortunately, there is a way out. The wonder sugars that can keep you in a high-energy orbit without the harmful effects associated with energy drinks have now been discovered. A lot of research is currently going on into the role played by glyconutrients, a class of saccharides usually found in plant sugars, in the development of the human body. Glyconutrients are called ‘sugars that heal’ for the amazing role they play in human health.

 

Glyconutrients are necessary for some of the fundamental biochemical processes in the body, such as cell-to-cell communication. Eight of these sugars have been identified as particularly useful for the body. Our diets usually provide us with two of these eight sugars. The rest of the sugars can also be supplemented by taking fruits and vegetables. But glyconutrients are found only in fruits grown organically and these have to be consumed within 24 hours to get the right amount of nutrition.

 

Energy drinks and supplements with glyconutrients – called glyconutritionals –are now available. For your body to be free of fatigue and to perform optimally, the bodily functions have to take place like clockwork. This is what the glyconutrients do – they keep the communication links open between cells.

 

With glyconutrients keeping cellular communication pathways open, and the immune and endocrine systems in top working order, your body will not feel any fatigue.

Using Smokeless Tobacco is gambling with your health but Snus Nicotine

By Philip Baker

Smokeless “Spit” tobacco contains over 2,000 chemicals, many of which have been directly related to causing cancer. Here are a few photos of mouth problems caused by the reaction of tobacco in the mouth. Photos courtesy of A.Christen, Indiana University. Source of information: US Surgeon General Report, 1986

Carcinogensis Associated With Smokeless Tobacco Use

Mouth Cancer 1 1. The scientific evidence is strong that the use of smokeless tobacco can cause cancer in humans. The association between smokeless tobacco use and cancer is strongest for cancers of the oral cavity.

2. Oral cancer has been shown to occur several times more frequently among snuff dippers than among nontobacco users, and the excess risk of cancers of the cheek and gum may reach nearly fifty-fold among long-term snuff users.

3. Some investigations suggest that the use of chewing tobacco also may increase the risk of oral cancer.

4. Evidence for an association between smokeless tobacco use and cancers outside of the oral cavity in humans is sparse. Some investigations suggest that smokeless tobacco users may face increased risks of tumors of the upper digestive tract, but results are currently inconclusive.Mouth Cancer 2

5. Experimental investigations have revealed potent carcinogens in snuff and chewing tobacco. These include nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and radiation-emitting polonium. The tobacco-specific nitrosamines N-nitrosonornicotine and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl -l-butanone have been detected in smokeless tobacco at levels 100 times higher than the regulated levels of other nitrosamines found in bacon, beer, and other foods. Animals exposed to these tobacco-specific nitrosamines, at levels approximating those thought to be accumulated during a human lifetime by daily smokeless tobacco users, have developed an excess of a variety of tumors. The nitrosamines can be metabolized by target tissues to compounds that can modify cellular genetic material.

6. Bioassays exposing animals to smokeless tobacco, however, have generally shown little or no increased tumor production, although some bioassays suggest that snuff may cause oral tumors when tested in animals that are infected With herpes simplex virus.

Noncancerous and Precancerous Oral Health Effects Associated With Smokeless Tobacco Use

Mouth Cancer 1. Smokeless tobacco use is responsible for the development of a portion of oral leukoplakias in both teenage and adult users. The degree to which the use of smokeless tobacco affects the oral had and soft tissues is variable depending on the site of action, type of smokeless tobacco product used, frequency and duration of use, predisposing factors, cofactors, such as smoking or concomitant gingival disease and other factors not yet determined.

1. Dose response effects have been noted by a number of investigators. Longer use of smokeless tobacco results in a higher prevalence of leukoplakic lesions. Oral leukoplakias are commonly found at the site of tobacco placement

2. Some snuff-induced oral leukoplakic lesions have been noted upon continued smokeless tobacco use to undergo transformation to a dysplastic state. A portion of these dysplastic lesions can further develop into carcinomas of either a verrcous or squamous cell variety.

Dental Recession2. Recent studies of the effects of smokeless tobacco use on gingival and periodontal tissues have resulted in equivocal findings. While gingival recession is a common outcome from use, gingivitis may or may not occur. Because longitudinal data are not available, the role of smokeless tobacco in the development and progression of gingivitis or periodontitis has not been confirmed.

3. The evidence concerning the effects of smokeless tobacco use on the salivary’ glands is inconclusive.

Nicotine Exposure: Pharmacokinetics, Addiction, and Other Physiologic Effects

l. The use of smokeless tobacco products can lead to nicotine dependence or addiction.

2. An examination of the pharmacokietics of nicotine (i.e., nicotine absorption, distribution, and ellimination) resulting from smoking and smokeless tobacco use indicates that the magnitude of nicotine exposure is similar for both.

3. Despite the complexities of tobacco smoke self-administration, systematic analysis has confirmed that the resulting addiction is similar to that produced and maintained by other addictive drugs in both humans and animals. Animals can learn to discriminate nicotine from other substances because of its effects on the central nervous system. These effects are related to the dose and rate of administration, as is also the case with other drugs of abuse.

4. It has been shown that nicotine functions as a reinforcer under a variety of conditions. It has been confirmed that nicotine can function in all of the capacities that characterize a drug with a liability to widespread abuse. Additionally, as is the case with most other drugs of abuse, nicotine produces effects in the user that are considered desirable to the user. These effects are caused by the nicotine and not simply by the vehicle of delivery (tobacco or tobacco smoke).

5. Nicotine is similar in all critical measures to prototypic drugs of abuse such as morphine and cocaine. The methods and criteria used to establish these similarities are identical to those used for other drugs suspected of having the potential to produce abuse and physiologic dependence. Specifically, nicotine is psychoactive, producing transient dose-related changes in mood and feeling. It is a euphoriant that produces dose-related increases in scores on standard measures of euphoria. It is a reinforcer (or reward, in both human and animal intravenous self-administration paradigms, functioning as do other hags of abuse. Additionally, nicotine through smoking produces the same effects, and it causes neuroadaptation leading to tolerance and physiologic dependence. Taken together, these results confirm the hypothesis that the role of nicotine in the compulsive use of tobacco is the same as the role of morphine in the compulsive use of opium derivatives or of cocaine in the compulsive use of era derivatives.

6. The evidence that smokeless tobacco is addicting includes the pharmacologic role of nicotine dose in regulating tobacco intake; the commonalities between nicotine and other prototypic dependence-producing substances; the abuse liability and dependence potential of nicotine; and the direct, albeit limited at present, evidence that orally delivered nicotine retains the characteristics of an addictive drug. However you can try Snus Nicotine

7. Several other characteristics of tobacco products in general, including smokeless tobacco, may function to enhance further the number of persons who are afflicted by nicotine dependence: nicotine-delivering products are widely available and relatively inexpensive; and the self-administration of such products is legal, relatively well tolerated by society, and produces minimal disruption to cognitive and behavioral performance. Nicotine produces a variety of individual-specific therapeutic actions such as mood and performance enhancement; and the brief effects of nicotine ensure that conditioning occurs, because the behavior is associated with numerous concomitant environmental stimuli.

8. All commonly marketed and consumed smokeless tobacco products contain substantial quantities of nicotine. The nicotine is delivered to the central nervous system in addicting quantities when used in the fashion that each form is commonly used (or as recommended in smokeless tobacco marketing campaigns).

9. Since the exposure to nicotine from smokeless tobacco is similar in magnitude to nicotine exposure from cigarette smoking, the health consequences of smoking that are caused by nicotine also would be expected to be hazards of smokeless tobacco use. Areas of particular concern in which nicotine may play a contributory or supportive role in the pathogenesis of disease include coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, and fetal mortality and morbidity.

Smokeless Tobacco Is Less Risky Than Smoking, though still dangerous. Some other effects are:

TOOTH ABRASION – Grit and sand in smokeless tobacco products scratches teeth and wears away the hard surface or enamel. Premature loss of tooth enamel can cause added sensitivity and may require corrective treatment.

GUM RECESSION – Constant irritation to the spot in the mouth where a small wad of chewing tobacco is placed can result in permanent damage to periodontal tissue. It also can damage the supporting bone structure. The injured gums pull away from the teeth, exposing root surfaces and leaving teeth sensitive to heat and cold. Erosion of critical bone support leads to loosened teeth that can be permanently lost.

INCREASED TOOTH DECAY – Sugar is added to smokeless tobacco during the curing and processing to improve its taste. The sugar reacts with bacteria found naturally in the mouth, causing an acid reaction, which leads to decay.

TOOTH DISCOLORATION AND BAD BREATH – Common traits of long-term smokeless tobacco users are stained teeth and bad breath. Moreover, the habit of continually spitting can be both unsightly and offensive.

NICOTINE DEPENDENCE – Nicotine blood levels achieved by smokeless tobacco use are similar to those from cigarette smoking. Nicotine addiction can lead to an artificially increased heart rate and blood pressure. In addition, it can constrict the blood vessels that are necessary to carry oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Athletic performance and endurance levels are decreased by this reaction.

UNHEALTHY EATING HABITS – Chewing tobacco lessens a person’s sense of taste and ability to smell. As a result, users tend to eat more salty and sweet foods, both of which are harmful if consumed in excess.

ORAL CANCER – With the practice of “chewing” and “dipping,” tobacco and its irritating juices are left in contact with gums, cheeks and/or lips for prolonged periods of time. This can result in a condition called leukoplakia. Leukoplakia appears either as a smooth, white patch or as leathery-looking wrinkled skin. It results in cancer in 3 percent to 5 percent of all cases.

OTHER CANCERS – All forms of smokeless tobacco contain high concentrations of cancer-causing agents. These substances subject users to increased cancer risk not only of the oral cavity, but also the pharynx, larynx and esophagus.

DANGER SIGNS – If you use smokeless tobacco, or have in the past, you should be on the lookout for some of these early signs of oral cancer:

* A sore that does not heal

* A lump or white patch

* A prolonged sore throat

* Difficulty in chewing

* Restricted movement of the tongue or jaws

* A feeling of something in the throat

Pain is rarely an early symptom. For this reason, all tobacco users need regular dental check-ups.

The Joys of Blackjack and Togel Hongkong Online

By Philip Baker

 

 

Blackjack online is simply a web-based version of the same casino card game that everyone loves to play. The reason online blackjack is so popular is because unlike most games of chance, a player’s skill and experience can have a great deal of effect on the outcome. It’s just as exciting to play blackjack online as it is to play in a casino. The only difference is that you’re playing from the comfort of your own home!

 

Where Did It Come From?

 

If you’re new to blackjack online, you may be interested in the fact that the game itself originated long before the U.S. was even a nation – seventy-six years, in fact. Whether its played in a casino or it’s online blackjack, the popular game of skill and chance traces its ancestry back to a game known as “Twenty-One,” or vignt-et-une as it was called in its country of origin. The object of the game as it was played in France during the time of King Louis IV was the same as blackjack games online today – get cards totaling as close to 21 as possible without exceeding that number.

 

The early version of online blackjack entered the U.S. through New Orleans when Louisiana was still French territory, making its way up the Mississippi and along the riverways. It wasn’t too popular in the beginning, so gambling establishments enticed players by offering offering a 10 to 1 payout when a gambler’s winning hand contained either the Jack of Clubs or the Jack of Spades; both are literally “black jacks,” so the name by which we know blackjack online today has remained.

Basketball: The Object of the Game and the 2022 Wall Calendars

By Philip Baker

 

 

Basketball is a fast paced game played on a 94-by-50 foot court (NBA) with 1 basket on opposite sides. The game starts when the official tosses the ball between two players, one from each team, in the middle of the court. This is also referred to as the tip off. The other 8 players stand at specific places outside the mid-circle. The jumpers will try to tip the ball to any of their team members to gain the first possession. The goal is to score more points than their opponents.

 

In the professional setting, the game is divided into 2 halfs or 4 quarters. Each quarter is 12 minutes long. During each possession, the offensive team has a time limit to shoot the ball in the basket. This is called the shot clock. The NBA rule allows 24 seconds for each possession.

 

In college basketball, the shot clock is set for 35 seconds. There are basically 2 ways to shoot and score in a basketball game: shooting when the ball is in play and from the free throw line. There are several ways to score during play. You can either take a perimeter shot or drive toward the basket. You can score 3 points if you shoot the ball beyond the arc. There are also variations for jump shots including from the baseline, the key, fade away, hook shot, and more. Variations of shots made inside the paint include dunk, layup, and tip-in. Free throws are earned when the opposing team committs a technical foul or a personal foul. Two free throw shots are awarded when the opposing team committs a technical foul or a personal foul in the act of shooting or within the team penalty. One free throw shot is given to the player who made a shot and receives a foul in the process. If you are a Basketball lover, buy 2022 Wall Calendars

 

Each player is allowed to commit 5 personal fouls for each game to continue playing. The 6th foul will automatically force the player to retire for the rest of the game. Each player is automatically out of the game if he receives 2 technical fouls. The team is allowed to commits 5 fouls for each quarter before entering the penalty. Every foul made inside the penalty will put their opposing team to shoot free throws. In the event where the scores are tied at the end of the fourth quarter (or at the end of the regulation period), a 5-minute overtime period is played. If the score is still tied at the end of the overtime period, a second overtime will be played, and so on. until a team wins a game. Note: other basketball leagues and basketball associations such as FIBA follow their own sets of rules.

 

It is the unpredictable nature of the “Big Dance,” the convergence of teams that have as much in common as Rick Majerus and hair spray, which makes “March Madness” the oddsmaking and sports betting challenge that it is. Because of its uniqueness, bet makers and bet takers approach the tournament both respectful and wary of an entirely different set of factors that rarely come into play during college basketball’s regular season. We’ll examine that aspect of college basketball betting next spring.
