Bull's Sports Betting Journal

I may have actually put together online's best poker rake race over at RakeRacers.com.  Everyone who has entered is about to win something - because there are so few entrants! 

Of course, if you look at the prize structure of the rake races I set up there, I could get hundreds of signups and every entrant would still win.  I really set it up as a means to provide a consistently higher level of rakeback than I am allowed by the terms and conditions of my affiliate agreements.  Those who want the good deals will figure it out eventually.

DogDaq is EN FUEGO!  We are up 48% as of today.  I have been doing quite a lot of messing with the numbers, and it is near certain that we have a winning online sports betting system.  In a few dozen more bets we should have statistically conclusive proof to support this.  Even absent that, I am still confident that:

1. The sytem works
2. We have been lucky as hell!
3. That's a GREAT combination to have going for you!

I have also decided that I will be using the same system for my sportsbook bonus chases during MLB and NHL seasons, but will probably be an arbing fool during NFL and NBA seasons.

I am also seriously toying with starting (yet another) website based on the DogDaq system almost exclusively - although I would call it something else.  ("DogDaq" is not very search engine friendly.  I do get 6 or 7 website hits a month for it, though, so it is growing as a search term.)  It would not be a mutual fund concept - just promoting online sportsbooks based on being able to beat the bookie using the value betting/line shopping system upon which DogDaq is based.  It could be a winning idea.

My day job is kicking my ass lately.  far too busy for my tastes.  If they're going to stick me at a desk job, the least they could do is make it a slacker's desk job.  Not a desk job that requires me to be here all the damn time.  Grrrrr.

My poker play has been very flat lately.  I had several big session offset by several awful sessions, and a couple of flat sessions on top.  Altogether I am up by a bit of rakeback over the past few weeks.  Too bad, as I played a lot more poker than normal during that time.

Later!

Now that I am back in the saddle for promoting poker at Bull's Betting Information, I can't tell if it's better or worse than before.  Definitely different.  Even when I find a good offer and get it posted it doesn't draw much more than a squeak from the forum community.  And those are some bonus-loving fools.

The problem, of course, is moving money.  It's hard to do for US players, so most players want to find a book and play it for months vice chasing off the bonus in a few days and moving on to another one.  It can be depressing, but I am determined to persevere.

Friday night at the tables I could not lose.  Saturday I could not win.  Sunday I could not lose again.  I definitely like winning more than losing. 

First hand Saturday, I have AA in the BB and get cracked by 92o in the SB, who called down on a KJ9 J 9 board.  I should have known right there to stop playing.  I took one pot in just under 200 hands.  I couldn't stand any more abuse after that.  Just one of those nights!

I am loving the podcasts that some ITHers are doing from the WSOP.  The hand recounting is good, and the colorful commentary from nsidestrate on the hijynx after they bust out is great!  I am leaving in about 48 hours and I am stoked!

When I get home, though, I have to get serious about my health.  I had a physical health assessment recently and the Doc said I am a ticking bomb for a heart attack.  All my numbers are bad:  blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and family history.  In gambler's parlance, I need to adopt a more +EV lifestyle for my health.  After Vegas, of course.

Happy Chasing!
