A GAME OF SKILL

Placing a sportsbet is a game of skill. The challenge is to gather and analyze as much information as you can about a game, weigh the probabilities of each team winning, and subsequently compare your opinion to the oddsmaker's.

While luck may be a deciding factor in the outcome of any single game, and will inevitably go against the bettor on occasion, it will balance out in the long run.

Being a consistent winner in sports betting is not about luck but whether the bettor is prepared to invest the time and effort to become knowledgeable about the sports he bets on, whether he can weigh all the factors in a cool, objective fashion, and whether he adopts a consistent, disciplined, long-term approach to betting.

The bookmaker is simply a middle-man who operates on a small profit margin and, ideally likes to see half the money wagered on one team and half on the other, assuring a profit.

If too much of the money goes on one team, the bookmaker will move the line or point spread to encourage bets on the other team in an effort to balance his book. The person the bettor is attempting to beat is the oddsmaker, and the oddsmaker's views on each team's chances.

Just by flipping a coin, bettors will be right 50% of the time. At odds of 10/11, only 52.4% of the bettor's bets have to win for him to overcome the bookmaker's profit and break even, so he only needs a very small edge to become a winner.

So bettors must do their homework and bet selectively. 55% winning bets is definitely achievable and 60-65% is a realistic target. At those levels, the sports bettor will have an extremely profitable and enjoyable hobby.

2025 NASCAR Cup Series Highlights:
Cook Out 400

August 16, 2025

Watch as redemption thundered under the lights at Richmond Raceway! Austin Dillon ripped across the finish line - clean, commanding, and clutch - claiming a back-to-back Cook Out 400 win and a playoff berth while driving with a broken rib. He led 107 laps, edging Alex Bowman by 2.471 seconds, with Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, and Austin Cindric rounding out the Penske-packed top five. There was no drama, just dominance. And a statement that the No. 3 Chevy and Richard Childress Racing are locked and loaded for the postseason. Credits to the video owner.

2025 Aer Lingus Football Classic - Iowa State vs. Kansas State:
Can the Cyclones upset the Wildcats in the season opener?

2025 Aer Lingus Football Classic Preview - Iowa State vs. Kansas State: Can the Cyclones upset the Wildcats in the season opener?

August 22, 2025 by Marc Jerbs

The 2025 college football season kicks off in historic fashion with the Aer Lingus College Football Classic, featuring a Big 12 showdown between the No. 17 Kansas State Wildcats and the No. 22 Iowa State Cyclones. This highly anticipated "Farmageddon" rivalry will be played on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.

Kickoff is set for 12:00 PM EDT, marking not only the first international edition of this 108-year rivalry but also the first Big 12 conference game ever played on Irish soil. For Iowa State, this will be the program's first football game outside the United States, adding even more significance to an already historic matchup.

Aer Lingus College Football Classic History

Aviva Stadium, which opened in 2010 on the site of the old Lansdowne Road, has become a premier host for college football in Ireland. Past games held here include:

  • Notre Dame vs. Navy (2012, 2023)
  • Georgia Tech vs. Boston College (2016)
  • Nebraska vs. Northwestern (2022)

The Kansas State vs Iowa State matchup will be the 10th college football game played in Ireland overall and the fourth edition of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic since its relaunch in 2022. Uniquely, this will be the first time Farmageddon kicks off a season, and Kansas State enters with the most Big 12 victories since the league's inception in 1996 (144 wins).

Iowa State Cyclones Preview (No. 22)

The Iowa State Cyclones head into 2025 after an impressive 11-3 campaign in 2024, including a Pop-Tarts Bowl victory and a trip to the Big 12 title game. With momentum on their side, the Cyclones are aiming for another championship run.

Key Players to Watch

  • QB Rocco Becht – returns for his third straight season as starting quarterback, bringing leadership and experience.
  • A talented returning core from 2024 that went 7-2 in Big 12 play.
  • A motivated roster ready to make history in the program's first-ever international game.

For Iowa State, this Dublin matchup is more than just a season opener—it is a chance to showcase their program on the global stage.

Key Players to Watch

  • QB Avery Johnson – entering his 15th career start, Johnson holds the K-State record with 25 touchdown passes in 2024.
  • RB Dylan Edwards – rushed for a school bowl record 196 yards in the 2024 Rate Bowl.
  • Tight End Unit – combined for 13 touchdowns in 2024, the most in the nation, with all four players returning.
