Shoot Me if You Can

As you can tell, I’m a guy. A dude. A man. I like red meat and fast cars…and when I say football, I’m talking about a game in which a 300-lb offensive tackle is considered a bit underweight.

I’ll admit it: until the Internet, I just didn’t do much sports betting. I got to Vegas maybe once every five years, and anything closer was disappointing, to say the least. Sure, I’d go in on a friendly wager with some co-workers or buddies once in a while, but anything more major required hanging out in places (and with people) that made me uncomfortable. I may be an extreme dude, but I’d rather not have to worry about getting my knees broken over a missed spread.

The best part about online bookmakers is that the situation for bettors can’t be beat. With information moving so fast, the odds and analysis are more up-to-date and competitive than anything that the land-based books could possibly offer, and the mere fact that I don’t have to drive anywhere is a huge plus for me.

I used to be impressed by placing bets from my computer at home…now I’ve moved up to being hugely impressed that I can make all of my bets from my mobile phone, wherever I am! Yup, some of the best online sportsbetting websites now offer full cell phone access, so you can make bets and even follow the action live from your Internet or MMS-enabled mobile device.
