Super Bowl Props: Do Your Homework
...ver Tennessee. The teams combined for 30 second half points.
Before that, Denver led Atlanta 17-6 at the half, a combined 23 points. Like the Patriots/Panthers Super Bowl, there was no scoring in the third quarter, and then the teams erupted for 30 fourth quarter points! If youre keeping score, thats 7-0 the last seven years where there has been more scoring in the second half than the first half.
In the Broncos/Packers Super Bowl before that, the teams combined for 31 first half points, then 24 second half points. So we have to go back to 1998 to find the last time the first half won that wager. This doesnt guarantee that there will be more second half scoring this Sunday, of course, but my point is to show you what handicappers do when assessing whether a prop bet is worth a wager or not. There are dozens of interesting prop bets to examine this Sunday. So get out there and find ones you think may be worth wagering on. But dont stop there: Do your homework to support your findings!

Premiership betting Review - 5 February 2006
...xing Day and will have had plenty of support at 11/10 against bottom-three Birmingham. A debut goal for Emmanuel Adebayor and Henrys landmark strike was enough to keep Arsenal in fifth place.
Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the Premiership by 15 points after beating Liverpool 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. The rather generous 10/11 on offer of a home win will have had punters drooling and goals for William Gallas and Hernan Crespo secured the Blues 21st win in 24 league matches this season.
West Bromwich Albion did their relegation battle the power of good with a convincing 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers at T...more
Soccer Drills Kids Will Love!

Ball Control: Tick Tock
Soccer drills should be made both fun and enjoyable, so children will stay interested in the game. Another one of the most popular soccer drills is this one, which also teaches ball control. This drill begins with everyone having a ball placed between the legs with the knees at a bent angle. When you say Go every play will drop the ball, and tap the ball between his/her feet from side to side like the tick tock of a clock. Every tap counts as one point. The first child to reach 20 points (or taps) is the winner.
These three drills are just a few examples of the many skills to teach young beginning soccer players some basic skills. These drills will also teach skills and help a child to completely comprehend the skills they learn.<...more
