    Hey Brightside,

    Is there an online resource you'd recommend for learning about this stuff?

    I have to agree with bigtexxx - tradesports.com is the way to go. You just make an account and then buy contracts on the team. If you want to bet on UT straight up, you go to the Rosebowl and simply buy contracts on Texas. One contract costs somewhere around $3 right now and is worth $10 if Texas wins. Feel free to email me if you need any help.

    Oh, the hard part (on all of these sites) can be getting money into the account - especially if you want to do it before the Rose Bowl. Some credit cards work, but some don't - that's your quickest way if it works. Otherwise, you need an account with Neteller or something like that which connects directly to your bank account.

    Do you want to learn about general sports betting or about sports betting arbitrage?

    Sports betting in pure form is pretty simple. You just have to predict the winner.


    Here is a FAQ about sports betting:

    Register with bodog.com today, and won 40 bucks playing blackjack.

    I like bodog a lot, very fast customer service, 15 minutes compare to 24 hours, more options--casino, poker, sport betting, clean interface, easy and free transaction, I recommend it.

    One more thing:

    Go to www.pokerrebates.com

    Follow the easy instruction, and you get 50 dollars cash back. I just did it, it's easy.

    If you have no body to refer to, please refer me, thank you.

    My referral code is 853148

    Thanks for the link. I'd like to learn about arbitrage too. I'm trying to do more homework on all aspects of it before I dive in.

    Good information on that link.

    I've hit teasers pretty regularly this year in the NFL. I'm about 50% on straight bets, but teasers have put me positive.
