Look! We've Become Modern
We were coming out of a restaurant, laughing and chatting happily, when my friend pointed with great astonishment, to what seemed to be some ‘scene’, worth taking a look. I turned and was quite shocked. I felt despair and some kind of frustrated rage-there was a girl, barely sixteen, wearing ….well, wearing something which was far more obscene than the types which we by now have become habituated to seeing.Yes, even today, when some women are fanatically raising their voices against men who claim that the provocative clothes worn by women push them into ogling them and making indecent comments (I by no means claim, that that entitles them to do what the

Here's a contentious statement – there is a perception out there that the Western Conference of the NBA is better than the Eastern Conference. Much, much better. Of the ten teams most favored to win the NBA championship only three come from the Eastern Conference. You could make an argument that Detroit is an elite team, and Miami gets consideration because they are defending champs, but it would be difficult to make a case for hardly any other Eastern team to stand up to the best of the West. Though it's good to know that one conference is better than the other, it's more important to figure out how we can profit from that reality.

The first thing we have to do is understand the scope of the disparity between the two leagues. The Eastern Conference does not have a winning record overall. The fifteen teams have combined for a 378-430 record, or a winning percentage of just .468. The conference does worse when playing against the West – they are 137-189, or .420. The top five teams in the Eastern Conference have a combined record of 104-57, or .646, against their own conference. When they venture out West, though, they don't fare nearly as well. They have combined to go just 51-54, or .486. Clearly the best of the East are no match for the West. Only four teams in the whole conference – Detroit, Cleveland, Miami and Orlando – have a winning record against the West.

So, the West is clearly dominant. How does that relate to betting? This is where it gets a little bit trickier. Three of the top five teams in the league against the spread are from the East. There are only seven teams that would be profitable over the season as a flat bet, and four of them come from the East, including the Raptors, the runaway leaders in profitability. The three worst teams in the league ATS are all from the West. The Eastern co

Stopping a Nuclear War
War can be stopped, even a nuclear war. While there are a number of different factors that fuel wars, it is commonly known that religion is one of the single biggest contributors. The world is rapidly approaching a crucial phase of instability and the likelihood of nuclear war has been growing greater with each passing day.This article, which is being freely distributed over the internet, is designed specifically to awaken over a billion Christians and another billion Muslims, plus non-religious people from all over the world to the fact that neither of these religions advocate that a physical Armageddon is coming. Nor does either of these religions sta

Health Benefits Of Cucumber
When the cucumber became important as a health food in the eighteenth century, it did not take long for people to forget those medical properties which had been well-known first of all to the Greeks and Romans and then later to the Arab physicians.Today we see the cucumber as a provider of a very healthy juice beneficial for its properties as an increaser of the flow of urine and as a complement to the effects of celery and carrot juice for rheumatic conditions, while at the same time being a soothing skin lotion.Japanese research in the first half of this century indicated that there was a valuable substance present in the cucumber juice for the

The World's Best Jack In The Box Restaurant
I was out for a quick afternoon snack and stopped by a local Jack In The Box. I looked over the items and pulled up to the microphone to place my order. I was greeted, “Welcome to the world’s best Jack In The Box. How may I help you?”I laughed at the greeting. Had I somehow stumbled on what was indeed the best Jack In The Box restaurant in the world? Or had I stopped in at a fast-food restaurant, which thought of itself as the embodiment of the world’s best Jack In The Box? Or, had I (which was most likely) simply chanced upon a very sarcastic employee? Over the microphone and speaker communications system, you would think that sarcasm would be easy to

it gets a little bit trickier. Three of the top five teams in the league against the spread are from the East. There are only seven teams that would be profitable over the season as a flat bet, and four of them come from the East, including the Raptors, the runaway leaders in profitability. The three worst teams in the league ATS are all from the West. The Eastern conference as a whole, contrary to what you might expect, is actually better against the spread – 398-394-16 – than they are straight up. That means that the public seems to overcompensate for the general pathetic-ness of the East.

Given that the East plays poorly against the West yet performs reasonably well on the wagering front, the public is clearly doing something wrong. This makes sense. In a match-up between the two conferences, the West if going to be favored quite consistently. The favorite gets overvalued as a general rule in all forms of betting. The West will often get further overvalued because of the perception that they are far superior. The superiority of the West will already have been factored into the spreads, so the West will not only be facing large spreads often, but spreads that are shaded or larger than they really should be. Because of that it seems logical that the East would be performing better against the spread than their record would indicate that they should. You're essentially getting free points on the East in many cases.

There's another factor at play here, as well. When the top teams in the West go on a trip to the East it is often a long trip, and it will often include a few teams that are far from good. If a team is facing large spreads in those conditions, as they almost certainly would, then it would make sense that they wouldn't cover as often as they probably should. If you're on a long trip playing agai
