How many times have you gotten those so called "guaranteed winning picks" that normally only come out to be a horrible loss? How about being threatened for the wellness of your life? I've been there a couple times and it really doesn't feel good. How about you wake up everyday when you want, go on vacation whenever you want, or live the lifestyle you have always dreamed of? Maybe The Sports Betting Champ is right for you, or maybe not. Hopefully my Sports Betting Champ review will help you make an educated decision to change your life for the better...

My review of the Sports Betting Champ is designed to give you my personal experience with the system, give you adequate hands on information, and provide you with answers to the many questions I know you have. First off I'll start with the first question that comes to everyone's mind. Does this system actually work? The question is two fold for these reasons; with my experience the win rate is only about 90% not 97% and you HAVE to put the information given to work. The success rate varies for me because I like to choose games I know most likely won't win but I choose them because their my favorite teams. I know a lot of people will do this unless you have no interest in sports except to try and make money. The system DOES WORK if you put the information given to work. You have to study the information and understand what they are saying. The picks they give you are about 95% accurate from what I have seen so far. You may be reading the sales page thinking this looks like a get rich quick scheme. It could be if you read it that way but it's really a guide on how to make educated picks. It will make a difference in your betting and it will make a difference in your life. Out of 7 people I have recommended this product for 3 have quit their day jobs, 2 for whatever reason like their day job and just use the extra money but make enough to quit, and the other 2 make a steady amount of money but don't put enough effort into the system to make the results like I do.

Now let's review some other common questions that come to mind when stumbling upon the Sports Betting Champ. Can anyone become successful with the Sports Betting Champ? That is a definite YES!! I have followed college basketball since I was 10 and that was the only sports I kept up with. No baseball or football was watched on my tv. To this day since I got the Sports Betting Champ I constantly win on baseball and football games. Football is somewhat more tricky because it seems like upsets are more common. One of the people I have mentored isn't even a US citizen. He lives in England but still makes bets on games and he's one that has quit his day job. It's just ridiculous how much leverage this guide can give you over your life.

Alright, the last main question most people think about when reviewing the Sports Betting Champ is this a scam? To me it isn't but some would say yes. Who has bought something from any store, got it home and it didn't work properly? Did you say to yourself this thing is a scam and I'm going to tell everyone I know it's the most thing out there? Then you run into someone that picked out that same product and they really, really liked it? Well it's the same for things bought online. Some people have great results and some others don't, normally the people don't use the product to it's potential or don't believe in it when they buy it. Well it's the same way for this product just like any other. You put the resources to work and play it smart everything in your dreams will come in time. Some people can make this a "full time" job within the first month some it could take a year but the main thing is that it WILL make a drastic change in your lifestyle. You can make the choice to be average or exceptional. Will you make the right decision with the Sports Betting Champ?

I hope my Sports Betting Champ Review has provided good enough information for you to make an educated decision to get the Sports Betting Champ or not. Everyday the US economy weakens, will you take control of your future or let the politicians handle it for you?

THIS MAN IS GONNA BE HUGE

SO who's the star of $140m summer blockbuster The Hulk? A glance at the poster, the merchandise, the computer game or the dinky little plastic goblins free at Burger King strongly suggests that it's a not- so-jolly green giant, a musclebound behemoth who looks like Frankenstein's monster after intensive triathlon training. A glance at the credits, though, and heading a cast of experienced hands - grizzled Sam Elliott, even-more-grizzled Nick Nolte and Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly - is a Hollywood greenhorn: Eric Bana. A tall, lithe, likeable Aussie bloke, Bana plays Bruce Banner, a repressed brainiac who transforms into an enormous mute brute when he gets agitated.
THIS MAN IS GONNA BE HUGE

SO who's the star of $140m summer blockbuster The Hulk? A glance at the poster, the merchandise, the computer game or the dinky little plastic goblins free at Burger King strongly suggests that it's a not- so-jolly green giant, a musclebound behemoth who looks like Frankenstein's monster after intensive triathlon training. A glance at the credits, though, and heading a cast of experienced hands - grizzled Sam Elliott, even-more-grizzled Nick Nolte and Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly - is a Hollywood greenhorn: Eric Bana. A tall, lithe, likeable Aussie bloke, Bana plays Bruce Banner, a repressed brainiac who transforms into an enormous mute brute when he gets agitated.
Unfortunately, being an entirely computer-generated character, the Hulk doesn't do many interviews. So while it's his ugly green mug on the lunchboxes, it's left to Bana to take the promotional strain. And with The Hulk being the latest addition to the burgeoning genre of comic book-sourced movies (after recent hits Spider-Man, Daredevil and both X-Mens), there's been a media tsunami.

"I try to roll with it because you can't change it," he sighs. "I don't do movies back-to-back, so hopefully I can talk about each of them in an enthusiastic, fresh way because I have a genuine affection for them. But there does come a point where you start to go insane. The first day of the US junket, I did 65 television interviews, which is, quite literally, a form of torture. It would have been a quick solution to the war if they'd threatened Saddam Hussein with that from day one: if you don't reveal your weapons of mass destruction, you will be subjected to a US press junket."

And one of the questions that would come up all the time: what the hell is Ang Lee - the acclaimed auteur responsible for Eat Drink Man Woman, The Ice Storm and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - doing directing a movie based on a Stan Lee comic book?

Bana can't answer that one, of course. Nor can he definitively say why Ang Lee cast him, virtually unknown in the US despite an excellent turn in Black Hawk Down, as the bottled-up Jekyll to a lumbering CGI Hyde. "I didn't test in the traditional sense," says Bana. But it's a good bet Ang saw his debut film performance Chopper in 2001, a biopic of charismatic Aussie sociopath Mark "Chopper" Read. In the movie, Bana - already famous in his native Australia as a sketch show comedian on TV - demonstrated his range by convincingly playing a violent bear of a man with a hair-trigger temper. Bana dominated the screen; attempting to control violent impulses but all too often unleashing them with horrific results. In short, maybe Ang liked him when he was angry.

But in The Hulk, Bana never actually gets to blow his top. His Banner - all tortured angst behind brown, millpool eyes - knows he's got something dangerous inside of him but doesn't dare open up, not even to his beautiful co-worker Betty Ross (played by Connelly). How do you approach that sort of internalised performance, especially when everyone who's read the comic or seen the successful 1970s TV series is sitting in the cinema eagerly waiting for you to flip out?

"It is intense and it's gruelling," he says. "Anxiety and that level of stress is a very difficult thing to do, it's not like you can come up with tools to fake that kind of stuff. It's taxing but at the end of each day, it feels like you've done a day's work. You don't feel like you've walked through it."

But wasn't it frustrating, working up to a point of Vesuvian anger but never getting that orgasmic release?

"I'd just go and wreck my trailer," he laughs. "In a way, it helped to just stay in that realm all the time and not be allowed out of it."

And the best things about the role - apart from the inevitable profile-raising? Well, Bana got to butt heads with his acting hero Nick Nolte, who plays his unhinged father with near-feral relish. Plus, the considerable amount of CGI scenes meant days off while his green alter-ego trashed tanks, grounded helicopters and tore up half of San Francisco. Bana gratefully spent this down-time with his wife Rebecca and their two young children, who'd relocated from their Melbourne home for the duration of the shoot.

I am 56, an ex-triathlete and Green Beret, and new to bodybuilding. In 1991, I gave up triathlons after suffering a heart attack in a warm-up race for an Ironman event, and I had a second open-heart surgery in 1993. I stopped training and went from 150 pounds to more than 200 in the ensuing 12 years. With some dietary changes and workouts, I got down to 162 pounds. Finally, I made a heavy investment and put a complete free-weight gym in my basement, got a trainer and started lifting. FLEX, MUSCLE & FITNESS and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding became my daily reading material. In the course of 12 months of six-days-per-week workouts, I gained 15 pounds of lean muscle mass, but still struggle to gain the mass and definition I hoped to achieve. I've been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding supp
lements, but I can't get a straight answer.
Is there hope for a 56-year-old to get the size, strength and definition of a 30- or 40-year-old, or have I started too late? I look good and feel great, but small gains promote the desire for more. I find the "Brute Strength" program (March-August 2005 issues) extremely valuable. Lifting heavy for size is all relative to the strength one has, and gaining strength is why following the Brute Strength workouts and the right supplement and diet plan are so important to us older guys. There are many of us who want to be the best we can be, who work out hard and want to get the looks the young guys get when we are on vacation at a beach with our young wives (my wife works out five days a week in the free-weight basement, too).

Most of the same bodybuilding principles apply to everyone, regardless of age. However, you might find "The Over-35 Club" in the January 2005 issue useful. In addition, see our "A to Z of Supplements" guide in the August issue--each supplement is rated and explained.

The temperature is set to soar along with the tension today as millions of fans ignore the summer sun and settle in a darkened room to watch the first England match.

After the dramas of Rooney's metatarsal, the Beckhams' party and rumours that the footballers' wives and girlfriends are locked in a game of competitive sleeping (after learning that sleep reduces wrinkles they are apparently trying to out-nap each other), the first game will finally begin. And it is not just the footballers who will reap the benefits of a victorious tournament.

Televisions are being sold at a rate of one every 40 seconds, sales of footballs are 226 per cent up on last year and one optimistic punter has bet pounds 200,000 on an England win.

Politics might be the game they play best, but Layton Mayor Steve Curtis and Sandy Mayor Tom Dolan are betting they know at least enough about high school football to predict the winner of Friday's 5A state football championship.

"I'm an avid high school football fan," said Curtis who offered a friendly, but possibly humiliating wager, with Dolan on the outcome of the title game which pits Alta against Layton at 2:30 p.m. at Rice Eccles Stadium. "I'm also a very competitive person. Tom and I have been friends, so I just asked him if he'd like to bet on the game."

No, these public servants aren't breaking any gambling laws, but they might be offending the public in a different way if their respective schools don't come through for the city leaders.
Curtis' challenge was this: If Layton prevails against top- ranked Alta, Dolan would sing the Lancer fight song -- a cappella -- at the next Layton City Council meeting wearing a Lancer jersey. If Alta wins, Curtis would entertain the Sandy City Council with the Hawks' fight song in red and black.

"I'm not a very good singer," Curtis admits. "But then, I don't expect to lose."

Asked if he knew the Lancer fight song, he said, "Well, I know the tune, but not the words. But then, Tom's the one who's got to sing it."

Dolan is equally confident in the Hawks.

"I haven't got a clue," he said when asked if he knew the words to the Alta fight song. Like Curtis, he said that won't matter once the Hawks take the field.

"I'm expecting to win," he said.

Dolan is a veteran at these friendly political wagers. He had a similar bet with Taylorsville Mayor Russ Wall last spring on the state baseball championship, which Jordan won. He said the Sandy City Council invites each team that wins a championship to a meeting where a resolution honoring them is read. That, he said, might be the perfect time for a musical number.

"It's fun for us," Dolan said. "It's fun if we win; it's fun if we lose. It's not as much fun for the players. We just agreed to make fools of ourselves to have a little fun ... I'm used to winning though."

Curtis said it's just one more way city officials can support their prep teams.

"I love the game," he said. "I love sports. It's a way of connecting with the community."

Curtis informed Layton head coach Jim Batchelor of his wager, while Dolan said Alta coach Les Hamilton wasn't aware of what was riding on the game -- beside Hawk pride, of course.

"No, I didn't tell anyone," Dolan said. "They don't need any added pressure."

We have received a very positive response to our Money Management Series. As suspected, most recreational gamblers know very little about proper money management. Today, in Part 4 of this series, we want to discuss selectivity. Most of you will be very surprised at what we are about to write, as it is contrary to popular belief. It may even ruffle the feathers of certain professionals that preach selectivity.

Question, would you rather win 60% betting a very select few games or win 54% betting many more games.

Most amateurs would say 60% is better and some professionals would agree. To us, it depends on what the main objective is. If the main objective is to have a pretty winning percentage and minimize risk, then playing a limited amount of games and picking 60% is better. However, that is not our objective and we doubt it is the objective of most gamblers.

The main objective for serious players is to win the most amount of money. It is certainly what we are in it for, as we bet on sports for a living! We depend on it to feed our children and put roofs over our head. We advise all of our clients to play the same way we do, because that is the only way we know how.

You are probably wondering what the hell we are talking about. How can 54% make more money than 60%? It is actually very straightforward.

Let us present a very simple illustration of a very complex concept. Many other factors could serve to further prove this point, such as the accelerated % of bankroll theory, etc. Unfortunately, it would take pages and pages to demonstrate. For now, let us illustrate the main theory.

Handicapper A bets 100 games at $100 per bet. He wins 60 and loses 40, which means he is picking 60% winners. 60 wins multiplied by $100 equals $6000 in gross winnings. 40 losses multiplied by $110 equals $4400 in gross losses. $6000 in wins minus $4400 in losses equals a net profit of $1600.

Handicapper B bets 1000 games at $100 per bet. He wins 540 and loses 460, which means he is picking 54% winners. 540 wins multiplied by $100 equals $54,000 in gross winnings. 460 losses multiplied by $110 equals $50,600 in gross losses. $54,000 in wins minus $50,600 in losses equals a net profit of $3,400.

Handicapper B more than doubled the profit of handicapper A. If you compound these profits with the percentage of bankroll system we advise, Handicapper B ends up making more than triple that of Handicapper A.

The down side is, when you are on a cold streak you can take a beating. This is one of the reasons we advise a small percentage of bankroll per bet (refer to previous Money Management Part 1). So what does this all mean?

To us, it means we will bet any game that has a higher than 52.3% (break even point with 10% vig) chance of winning. If you pass up on a game that is a 54% winning proposition in the name of selectivity, you are leaving money on the table.

Certainly, the more bets you make, the more money at risk. If you are adverse to risk, then sports betting all together may not be the best investment for you. For those, we would advise a money market account, US Treasury bonds or a CD. However, if you are serious about bottom line profit betting on sports, selectivity doesn�t pay.
