Antes and blinds are forced bets that keep players in action at the poker table. If you grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, like I did, you’re probably more familiar with antes than blinds. If you’re from a later generation, you probably learned to play Texas holdem at a younger age than I did. In that case, you might have learned about how blinds work before you became familiar with antes. The concept behind both antes and blinds is simple, though: If there’s no money on the line, you’d fold practically forever until you got a great hand. The…

Travis Kelce is on the verge of putting his name in the NFL record books. The Kansas City Chiefs’ TE is nearing the single-season record for most receiving yards by a tight end.

Five Straight Years With 1,000 Receiving Yards On the night that the Kansas City Chiefs booked their 6th consecutive playoff appearance,…

The concept of a “market” exists all around us. Nearly every good or service, from housing to produce, has its own prices that change fluidly based on supply, demand, and a number of other factors. In addition to more conventional markets, sports betting has its very own market as well. Because there isn’t necessarily an exchange of goods when it comes to sports betting, understanding how it works can require a little more insight. So, in this article, I’ll explain what the betting market is, how its prices get set, whether or not the market is efficient, and if it…

Lots of people avoid craps because they think it’s too complicated. I’ve written a lot of blog posts trying to simplify the game through a variety of different lenses, and I’m going to do that again here through the lense of betting with or against the dice. When you think about it, if you understand the difference between betting against the dice and betting with the dice, you’re 90% of the way along in your journey to understand craps. Getting Started Betting With (or Against) the Dice The first roll in a craps game is the come-out roll. When you’re…

 December 23, 2020 In a major development for the poker community, a Michigan interstate online poker bill now sits on the Governor’s desk ready to be signed into law. If you don’t understand why this is so significant, then focus on the word “interstate”. Unlike many other states with legalized online poker, Michigan is set to allow play across state borders with other regulated jurisdictions. This is a game changer, as smaller states have been less likely to allow online poker due to the small pools of players. Unlike other forms on internet betting, online poker needs large pools of…

The AFC has dominated the Super Bowl in recent years. Since 2014, the Philadelphia Eagles are the only NFC team to have won the NFL championship. The Eagles’ 41-33 triumph over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52 stopped a streak of three consecutive AFC Super Bowl champions. Since then, though, the Patriots and Chiefs have won back-to-back titles for the AFC. The NFC has arguably been the deeper conference in recent years, but the conference has struggled to consistently get over the top. Teams like the Saints, Packers, Seahawks, and Rams will be looking to change the narrative…

Pick: Lakers -3Odds: -107$100 Could Win You…$193.46 The second leg of TNT’s NBA opening night double-header brings us a familiar matchup between the Clippers and the Lakers. These two teams were essentially co-favorites to win the title for most of last season before the Clips flamed out in their second-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. Sadly, we never got to see these two teams square off in the postseason as the Lakers essentially wound up cruising to a title in the Disney World bubble. Both teams look a bit different heading into tonight’s highly-anticipated clash. The Clippers parted ways with Doc…

With just two weeks left in the NFL regular season, the playoff pictures in both conferences are getting more and more clear. The Green Bay Packers are now in prime position to nab the top seed in the NFC, while the Kansas City Chiefs are nearly home-free on that front in the AFC. The Steelers, meanwhile, have dropped each of their last three games following their blazing 11-0 start, which has left many wondering whether Pittsburgh will even win their own division at this point. Injuries will almost surely play a hand in things over the season’s last two weeks.…
