Fantasy betting is a big deal in the US, but not so much in Europe yet (most likely because sports betting is not illegal in Europe). I like the community aspect of fantasy betting so much that I decided to devote a page on the pokerbankrollblog entirely to Sports and Fantasy betting. Hope you enjoy the first article about fantasy betting, submitted by Alex.
Many statistically minded sports fans are tempted to try their hand at sports betting. After all, with a solid understanding of Sabermetrics,

I find consolation in the fact that other and better tournament players also experience unbelievable misfortune. On a positive note it looks like Dungbeetle's 2009 results are coming around.

Recently I have wondered if it is possible to calculate the probability of winning a poker tournament based on which strategy you use and how your all in moves are distributed. During the process of collecting data to solve this problem I have run into some interesting observations which I would like to share with you.

Have you been playing tournaments that you wish you could do better in, or you are doing well and then all of a sudden have a “blow up”?

Every decision that you make in tournament poker could be the hand that can cost you the tournament. So I decided to

Repeating the same thing doesn't make it less true, therefore with no further ado, my words of wisdom: "when playing online poker you should always have either a bonus or rakeback deal associated with your deposit or your account.

I recently read this post on Rakewell’s PokerGrump blog where he continues along the track of learning poker from things that don't necessarily have anything to do with poker.

Last night I finally had the opportunity to sit down and play a $10+1 6-person SNG on Mansion. It had been the first time since Sunday I got to play, I know not that long between sessions but still long enough for me.
Before a hand could even be played, a player named SHERWHYNOT was already being very belligerent to the other players, that by the sounds of it, he/she just played against in another SNG game. I just ignored him, as I mostly do
