Pete Rose, the ugly face of sports betting

Friday, August 15th, 2008

For many years I stayed away from Sports Betting in general largely because it had a foul taste to it when i thought about it.

Largely because of the Pete Rose scandal. He was one hero I looked up to in baseball that pretty much ruined the entire sport for me.

Pete Rose was banished from baseball for allegedly illegal activity involving betting on games he played, and later managed in. This fact alone left a bitter pill in my throat that lingers ever so gently even today.

What is sports betting

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Sports betting is the general activity of predicting sports results by making a wager on the outcome of a sporting event. Perhaps more so than other forms of gambling, the legality and general acceptance of sports betting varies from nation to nation.

I have been interested in sports betting since i was a kid. I generally have been very good at predicting big games and have a 70% record on predictng Denver Broncos games in my lifetime if you exclude Super Bowls.

On this site I will take you through the process of becoming an expert in sports betting. Sport by sport.
