WISE BETTOR GAMBLING BLOG

Hi, my name is Wise Bettor and this is my gambling blog. I've spent well over 20,000 hours in Las Vegas casinos during my adult life. That time includes me being a casino dealer, gambling instructor, professional gambler and I also ran a successful sports handicapping service in Las Vegas for years—a legit one.

Wise Bettor is free for you to read, listing, watch and enjoy. I hope you'll find my gambling blog useful. If you do, please tell others. There's one thing you can count on at Wise Bettor, I won't guide you wrong. Casino gambling is what I know. I will never tell you to do something just because it benefits an advertiser or myself. I see this on many "gambling" Web sites and it's just plain wrong. I've got the betting experience and I hope you'll have fun here.

Is Playing Poker Gambling?

One thing I’ve heard almost as much as “xxxx-in river” in Poker is this wild statement that playing Poker isn’t gambling.

We are just a few weeks into the 2006-07 NBA season, and already the East is looking like garbage. I decided to take a look at how’s playing hot right now and who’s cold.

To me, any team that’s won 6 or more wins over their last 10 games is hot. Anyone who’s 5-5 is medium and any team that’s 4-6 or worse is cold. Here’s were we stand now.
