Betting on Sports using the professional skills of a good “Handicapper” is making sure that “Lady Luck” runs on your side. The skills that make us professional “Handicappers” good or great will become known to you as your returns increase. A good, professional “Handicapper” will know their sports inside and out, we look, we listen, we read, we learn and we bet, we do this on a full time basis, saving you the time and due diligence necessary for you to have success with your bets. As in life, business, etc., the list goes on forever; there is always the gambling factor versus the knowledge of having all the tools available to make an informed decision.

9 Tips to Remember Before Making Your Wager:

1. Betting on a team that is an extreme favorite is not worth the money you put out to win very little. An example would be if you are wagering on NHL and you pick Detroit to win against Columbus and the moneyline is -300 that means that you have to put out $300 to make $100, it just isn’t worth the risk. Detroit will probably be playing their back-up goalie and they may be over confident that they will win, yet we still see people making the line move everyday on bets just like this, it’s just not worth it to you.

2. If you have a favorite team in a certain sport try to refrain from betting on them because you will probably be betting with your home town spirit and not your head.

3. Do not try to make up for your losses on one game. This is a big mistake which we see people make all the time. When someone loses on Sunday and tries to make up for it on Monday with one bet, this normally puts them into a bigger hole on a Monday night “for sure bet”.

4. There is no such thing as a “for sure bet” because any team can beat another and this is why there are upsets which “Handicappers” who know their business see the outcome of these games and make their money.

5. Avoid making wagers on parlays; doing so is like trying to make a boat out of paper “it just sinks”. If you stick with the straight bets you will find you will be thankful in the long run.

6. Never bet a large amount of games at one time. Pick and choose your games that will give you the best rewards for the lowest risk.

7. The best way for the average sports enthusiast to make money betting is to find a good Sports Service “Handicapping” site and purchase their picks as we make our living from betting on sports and helping people beat the odds.

8. When purchasing picks from a Sports Service make sure you bet on exactly what we give you with the proper number of units that we provide.

9. The biggest tip of all is to never wager more than what you can afford to lose.

Money down the drain.

Waste of time.

No luck.

Total bomb.

Does that describe your responses you have had with mlm recruiting classified ads?

There are reasons that happens, including just bad copy in a classified or a bad headline. And that does happen to folks who don’t understand the psychology of running MLM Recruiting ads.

But we have found, after a lot of research and study, that there are 10 Rules to classified ads responses in MLM. And some are common sense, others may surprise you.

If you are working the cold market, and having little luck, maybe this will help, and open your eyes to why your response may be a little lacking in your ads. And of course, there are some reasons you just can’t do anything about.

Here they are:

The Ten Rules of Response in MLM Cold Market Classified Ads.

1) It all depends on whose looking.

Simply, there are weeks that there are not many people looking at the MLM Recruiting ads, and there isn’t a thing you can do about that. If that happens, just understand it, and move on. Next week will be better.

I ran ads that pulled nothing one week, and ran it again the next week and got a lot of calls. Don’t be too discouraged if a bad week happens and you get no calls. Sometimes that is gonna happen. Accept it and wait till next week.

2) It all depends on whose looking and what they are looking for.

So true. People may be looking, but if they are not looking for what you are offering, then you still may get limited response.

Continue on and know that the people you are looking for will eventually see your ad. Maybe not today, or this week, but it will happen.

Reality is, I ran a ton of Network Marketing Recruiting ads, and I knew there were people looking as they called me. But many weren’t looking for what I had to offer as most were looking for a job.

God blessem, move on to the next response which there will be more.

3) Ads must be run consistently, not just once.

Cold Market MLM Recruiting Ads that run for weeks at a time have a better response in the long run then short run ads. I had many people I recruited tell me they looked at our ad for several weeks before calling, as they were curious to see if we would be around for a while.

Don’t be afraid to run an ad for weeks as you will get calls from folks who don’t call ads the first week they run.

4) The first 5 words must grab their attention.

The first 5 words in the headline, and copy MUST grab their attention. If they don’t, you lose them. And the first 5 words must create some form of curiosity, and compel them to pick up the phone and call. I have ran many ads that I didn’t realize the first 5 words were horrible. I received no calls off of those ads.

Don’t make the mistakes I did. That will cost you dearly.

5) Asking questions will draw them into your ad and increase your response.

If your headline is a question, and a HOT one, you will increase dramatically the response ratio to your Direct Sales ads.

Why?

It draws them into the ad, and creates some curiosity and compels them to call. Questions can be powerful and impactful to grab a person’s attention. Use them and again, use short, provocative questions or statements in your headline.

“Has this ever happened to you?”

“Maybe this is what you are looking for…”

“I doubt it!”

“Don’t tell me they have done it again!” Use questions or statements to draw them in.

6) Hype is a repellant and pushes readers away.

Simply, for the person you are looking for, hype is a no-no. There are many “hypey” ads out there promising the moon, but the kind of people that are attracted to that ad are not who you are looking for.

Trust me on this one, been there done that. The only people you will attract are short term “lottery heads” that think they won the lottery. Go ahead, try hype. You will find out like I did.

Inferno Secret: Watching WI-TV in MLM.

7) Think — WI-TV.

Get them watching mental TV, of sorts. Think, “What Is The Value ?” In your ads, you must put the value to the reader in it, and also what they will get out of your offer. People want to know if what you have to offer will increase, expand, enlarge, and empower their life.

All are a direct result of Value. Keep it in the MLM Recruiting ad and create VALUE in the minds of your readers. And that will determine a LOT of the response ratio of your ads.

Understand the Rule of TRASH.

Simply, you’re going to get TRASH calls. People who are just kicking tires, and not interested in what you have to offer, and that goes with the territory. If you are running ads and expect all calls to be interested, you are fooling yourself.

Probably at least 30% of your calls will be TRASH calls and you just smile and move to the next one.

TRASH is one of those pain in the rears about running ads, and yes, you can put a very focused ad in that will get rid of most of the “trash” calls, but you still will always get tire kickers with every ad. Sift through them and move forward to the next response.

9) The Rule of Impact.

You want your Home Business headline and copy to IMPACT and gain their attention. There is a training we do called “The 10 Hottest Impact Words for MLM Classified Ads.” It is on our site.

I would suggest you look at it. Impact is a secret that will triple your response on ads. Impact, don’t Inform, and you will get a much better response.

10) The Rule of Loss.

The fear of loss is an incredible motivator in ads, and can explode your calls. Don’t be afraid to use it. People will move twice as quick for loss then gain. It is human nature, and works all the time.

Again, there are questions and phrases that can create an enormous fear of loss, and compel people to call your ad. Use them effectively and often, and your response will EXLPODE!

These are the 10 Rules of Response for MLM Recruiting Classified Ads for Network Marketing Recruiting. Learn them, use them, and master them to create responses you want and understand the ones you don’t want.

Mastery of MLM Recruiting in MLM Classified ads is the key…

blessings…

How do you get the edge when you’re playing junior golf? To keep up with the top junior golfer’s means getting stronger both physically and mentally; and almost perfecting your golf swing. That’s how competitive it’s become.

There are big bucks at stake. Full scholarships are now worth up to a hundred thousand dollars, and for some of these to junior golfers, becoming a professional golfer can mean millions…

We have started to see a dramatic change in the caliber of junior golfers. They are getting fitter, stronger and are hitting it as long as the PGA and LPGA players. This is a combination of personal coaching on swing mechanics and getting stronger.

Junior golfers like Ty Tryon, Michelle Wie and the Song sisters are a perfect example of what junior golfers are capable of, given the right approach. Parents are now realizing the investment in their kid’s golf pays off big when they receive partial or full scholarships for college.
The difference between junior golfers and adults is typically strength - not flexibility. I’ve worked with hundreds of junior golfers and within a very short period of time, doing strength training, their drives increased as much as 50 yards.

Participating in a strength training program doing the wrong exercises can hurt junior golfers not help them. The exercises have to compliment the golf swing from a dynamic standpoint and a stability standpoint. If this is not taken into consideration, improvement will not happen.

The age to begin a strength training workout for juniors is between 12-13 on up. Having a professional oversee the program at the earlier ages is crucial. The upside is a rapidly improving game and who knows…a scholarship for college.

Too many parents and juniors are going it alone and aren’t seeing the results they hoped for. This can be a long and frustrating road to take. Why not save years of searching and hundreds if not thousands of dollars, by doing a little research? Do some talking around your town to see if anyone knows of a fitness trainer who understands golf.

They are a rare breed, but if you look hard enough you can find someone somewhat qualified. Even talk to some of the teaching pros. They might know of some golf trainers who are acceptable. If not, hit the book store. There are several golf fitness books out there, but be on the “lookout”.

From what I’ve seen, most of them are NOT golf fitness books, but only “general” fitness books in disguise. If you see any pictures of a golfer sitting in or on a machine, don’t by the book. That is a telltale sign of a general fitness book. Remember, golf is played on your feet, not sitting down.

So get the edge, by getting stronger for golf! Who knows…you may be the next Tiger Woods or Annika Sorenstam.

The 21st century has introduced the world to a new way of doing business. It’s now a foregone conclusion that global commerce will be as revolutionized by it as Henry Ford’s mass-production techniques were a defining characteristic of the 1900s.

The business is e-currency, which allows Internet-based purchase and sales transactions involving almost anything to be safely conducted at lightning speed. Safeguards are in place to make identity fraud, chargeback prevention and funds verification much more of a surety than anything the conventional means of payment in the non-cyber world can provide.

E-currency may only exist in the cyber world, but that is nothing new. The euro began in the same manner. It was officially accepted by the countries of the European Union in 1999 to simplify business by eliminating exchange rates, but it began life 20 years before that by private financial institutions who saw it as an idea that had to happen. By 2002, the euro evolved from cyber-tender to hard cash and is now arguably the second-most influential currency in the world.

The Internet’s globalization of commerce on an instantaneous basis means that, where the euro has already gone, today’s e-currencies will follow.

However, there is still one major issue that needs to be resolved before all is proclaimed to be perfect in the rapidly expanding multi-billion-dollar world of cyberspace. There are still many different e-currencies in existence, with no universally accepted forum for exchanging them with one another or converting them to hard cash.

So, a company called GDT — Global Digital Transactions — has stepped forward to create a solution. Their endeavor is called DXinOne, or DXiO. The term ‘DX’ pertains to a unit of e-currency. ‘DXG’ is used to describe that unit in terms of its equivalent value in gold; it’s currently pegged at DXG 1.00 = USD 1.00 for exchange purposes. Most e-currencies are backed by gold reserves held privately by the companies that issue them. A unit of ‘DXG’ is called a ‘digot’ — a combination of ‘digit’ and ‘ingot’ — and the popular pronunciation is ‘dig it.’

The reason this should be interesting to you is that you can make money with it — serious money — by becoming an e-Merchant who facilitates these e-currency exchanges. Tens of thousands of them occur daily. Soon it will be tens of millions.

Basically, if you study the DXiO system in detail, you’ll see that it’s a fee-based settlement operation rather than a market-based investment activity. GDT has designed DXiO to perform the same function in cyberspace that title companies do for real estate brokers and that clearing houses do for stockbrokers. DXiO does not have an equity stake in any of your transactions. It merely accounts for them on behalf of the participants in each transaction. It then takes a fee for its services.

If you take the time and commit to the requisite study of the system, its proponents claim you cannot lose with it.

Currently, the DXiO system is in a beta-test mode in preparation for its full introduction and deployment to the public. As a participant, you will become a ‘member’ of a private organization. As such, you will interact with other members in ways which enable you to learn the intricacies of the DXiO system. Ultimately, you’ll advance to the e-Merchant stage, where you’ll be handling transaction claims for e-currency exchanges and taking a fee for doing it. Your profits will not come from your investment into the business, per sé, but from your utilization of funds in your portfolio account serving as a ‘float’ which will facilitate the transition of one e-currency to another and allowing you to earn a fee for doing so.

You need to create a substantial float in order to conduct such transactions at a practical level. Based upon five years of performance to date, the beta-stage of DXiO’s operations enables you to achieve that with very little capital invested. (Believe it or not, you can start with $50!) In that respect, their system is certainly more egalitarian than anything else currently out there.

Perhaps you’ll wonder why GDT based these operations in a lesser-known tax haven like Vanuatu. Well, it seems that when the market for phone-porn became a booming industry a decade ago, many of those businesses set up shop in Vanuatu. Ultimately, the authorities there chased them away, but the aftereffect was that Vanuatu inherited a very sophisticated telecommunications infrastructure. If ever a high-volume Internet business wanted to establish itself in a tax haven with lower-than-usual start-up costs, Vanuatu became the ideal place to do it!

It’s prudent to remember that, if you do choose to become involved in DXiO, only commit capital that you can afford to do without, no matter what the future may hold. That should be everyone’s philosophy in any new venture such as this.

In more ways than one, becoming an e-Merchant for electronic currency exchange can be a capital idea. It could also make for a very interesting rest of the century.

The ceiling fan came on the market just after the invention of electricity. It was invented by Philip Diehl in 1882 and even back then it didn’t take long for this concept of cooling to spread to many homes and businesses. Philip improved on his original idea by using a smaller motor and by adding lights to the fan. This basic idea has prevailed to the ceiling fans of today.

Ceiling fans do one of two things. They can cool the air or suck up the air to make any room much more comfortable. They operate by means of a small motor within the fan that turns the blades. These blades can come in various lengths and this will depend on how big the room is that you’re trying to keep cool. You would need a larger fan in a living room, where a smaller one would do in a bedroom. It totally depends on the size of rooms.

Ceiling fans are made out of wood and range from 32 to 52 inches long, although you can get them custom made a bit larger than that. The measurement is taken from the tip of one blade to the tip of the other adjacent blade. These are mounted at a 12 to 15 degree angle so the air can circulate properly and they usually have four to five blades that balance around the fan to prevent it from shaking or wobbling.

Of course there have been many improvements over the years with ceiling fans. The ones we find on the market today are designed for elegance and are an eye pleasing addition to any home. You can buy a fan from the basic to the designer, but they all basically do the same thing and that is cool you down in very warm weather and help keep the air circulating in the smallest of rooms. They have become every homeowner’s necessity and can be found in just about every home. You will also find them in places that have air-conditioning just to keep the flow of the air in balance. They are also used as a conductor of heat in the winter because they circulate heat as well as cool air.

You will find them in offices, warehouses and any other place that you may think of. Ceiling fans are the ultimate in air cooling or heating. However, there is more than one kind of ceiling fan. For example, tropical fans are different from the standard fans that we use. The main difference is found in the blades. Tropical fans have a much wider blade, although the length is about the same. The reason for this difference is in the appearance. The wide blades give the fan a very different look and many people get them to match the decor of their homes. Anyone with a tropical scheme in their homes would purchase one of these. It gives the impression of the tropics.

Regardless of the type of fan you buy, you can all be thankful to Philip Diehl for his invention. The ceiling fans saves lots of hot sleepless nights and makes many cooler days for all of us. There are very reasonably priced so that everyone can enjoy one type or another in his/her home.

As you read this first sentence, does your reality allow you to believe you are absolutely marvelous, magnificent, spectacular, gorgeous, fabulous and worthy of all good? If you agree then you know you are priceless. Sadly however, many women do not believe they are any of these things.

I believe every one of you reading this are all of the above, just as I know all these qualities define me. You see, it has nothing to do with whether or not you have a beautiful face (according to what society claims), whether or not your body is a perfect size 4, whether or not you win anything, or whether or not you achieve your goals. I came to believe this after many challenging experiences gave me a wake-up call. I decided to step out of my old story so that I could claim my birthright of power. You can too!

Often a woman spends her life bending to the whims of everyone else. If she doesn’t perform well she feels lesser, and heaven forbid if she fails to achieve her goals, for then she’d feel lesser since someone else was obviously “more” by achieving. If this situation occurs again and again, a woman may reach the point of total disbelief in her merit, perceiving herself a failure and thus of little value. This belief often sneaks in through subtle doors that disarm her self-worth.

An empowered woman is one who knows her worth, not based on outer accomplishments, but on who she is. She sees herself as valuable and priceless. She may stumble at times and find she must brush off her knees as she pulls herself up, but she always stands again to continue in her empowerment.

So how do I know this truth about each one of you? I don’t even know you. It’s really quite simple, so simple it’s often overlooked. Regardless of different religious beliefs, most individuals believe there is a Creator of the universe. This Creator made each one of us from the same space of love, and although we are each a one-of-a-kind unique design, we all came from the same place: love. This source of love is perfect, so we can only be MAGNIFICENT designs!

This is also where we can plug into our power, from our Creator. If you want to hear the music you must first plug in your radio. Turning the dial to hear the music is futile without the connection to the power source. We are all energetic beings who only need to plug into our Source for the connection to unlimited power.

Since we are energetic beings, everything we feel inside is projected outward to all with whom we come in contact. If we feel lesser inside, people feel that vibration coming from within us and respond accordingly. Negative energy attracts more negative energy just as positive energy attracts more positive energy. As soon as an individual acts from a place of feeling unworthy, that individual attracts more experiences that perpetuate like energy vibrations.

Once I understood this concept I slowly shifted into a new realization. I understood I was already priceless and didn’t have to do anything to prove that. It is my birthright as a divine being of creation to accept this into my knowingness. As I accepted it into a new belief for me, my entire life shifted into one of happiness, abundance, inner joy and a serenity I had not known before. As I began to radiate a vibration from love instead of negative emotional responses, and as I understood that nothing in my external world could have power over me unless I allowed it to, I became free to be me. In that place I realized the exhilarating and uplifting knowledge of my magnificence.

Your magnificence is inherited from the Designer of the universe. It is yours for eternity and all you must do is accept it. There are no strings attached nor any rules or regulations. It’s free for the taking just as air is free for us to breathe in life. When we take a breath of air we aren’t taking anything away from anyone else for there is more than enough for everyone. The same is true with being priceless. Recognizing magnificence in ourselves does not take any magnificence away from another being for it is inborn within each individual who is alive on this planet.

Perhaps you have the gift of external beauty or perhaps you’ve been an achiever in a big way. This is temporary and will soon fade away. The only thing that is real and lasting is your internal beauty. So even if you’re feeling at the top of the world right now or if you’re still attempting to climb up there, I ask you to look deep within your being and see what you really believe about yourself. The beauty of it all is that you’re already beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, fabulous, talented and marvelous, and do not need to climb up anywhere to obtain it.

In recent years as I accepted that I am priceless, I realized the importance of getting this message to every woman who would listen. My life’s work is to share this belief so that others may also accept it into their knowingness, and I do this through writing, speaking and coaching. I decided to provide a visual by creating a gold charm that can be worn on a chain as a daily reminder of how priceless you are. It is available through my website: www.drcarolynporter.com. Every time I look at mine I smile and reaffirm how priceless I really am. You can too!

As I close I want to share with you a poem I wrote that sums up the entire thought of what I’ve shared here and also found in one of my books, “The Realness of a Woman.” Enjoy!

A Woman of Worth

A woman of worth, her riches beyond earthly treasures,

a heart spun with gold, reaches in touching your soul;

a flower so rare, her beauty unfolds over time.

Adorned with truth and honor,

undaunted by the wiles of worldly men,

she builds on today, fully present in the now,

for futures can change in a moment.

She makes her own rules

not bound to limits placed by others:

she sees the rainbow through the storm,

standing in her own light,

needing no one to brighten the path,

she does not betray herself for anyone.

A woman of worth embraces life’s passion,

speaks gently from divine wisdom,

giving credence to the power within.

Though she may stumble,

quickly she rises with the grace of nobility,

Her heartspace open, loving and compassionate

she feeds her own soul,

not needing praise from anyone else,

but accepting it when it is given.

Joy rises in her as her spirit soars

to enlightened spheres beyond,

she touches your heart, reaches into your soul,

this woman is a gift to the world.

A woman of worth, loving herself,

shares love with those who cross her path, for a moment, a passing space, or a lifetime. She is priceless!

A quick cash loan also called payday loan, cash advance loan or a deferred deposit service is a small, short-term loan typically ranging from $ 100 to $ 500. These quick cash loans are issued against paychecks. In 2003, payday lenders like bank departments, credit companies or independent cash lenders serviced between 10 million and 12 million customers. A typical borrower of such cash loans pays $15 for every $100 borrowed. The loan period normally lasts for two-weeks. If you do the maths, youl’ll quickly see that this accumulates up to an annual percentage rate of about 400%.

Now, you may inquire that since the loan period is only two weeks, you only pay 15% period. Yes, that’s right if you are able to take no more than one cash advance loan a year. However, statistics shows that many of the first time borrowers are taking this type of loan again and again. And here is
the real danger with such loans: We have seen over and over again that if you first have started with payday cash loans, it is very difficult to stop taking them. Therefore this type of loan creates a vicious and costly circle.

Let’s give an example of the costs of these loans: What happens if you cannot pay back the loan at the end of the two-week period? You can ask the payday lender to hold the loan for another pay period. Then you have to pay the fee a second time and the loan rolls over and it starts to become very expensive. However, if you have a job this kind of loans are easy to get - in other words it is easy and fast money - and if you first get hooked on this merry-go-round it is very difficult to jump off. The reason why cash advances are marketed so aggressively is that they are very profitable for
the lenders. These kind of loans are predatory by nature and accumulated fees from repeat borrowers are the big profit generator of this business

If you consider this loan option, I recommend that you to go back and do a comparison of loan fees, interest rate and other costs of payday loans to other credit offers (for example credit cards). I can almost guarantee you that you won’t regret it.

I grew up in the animated, colorful neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York where slang changes your perspective on everything. It’s no secret some of the craziest slanguage originated here. What is this phenomenon called slang and what is its purpose? Is it an amplifier for a phrase we wouldn’t otherwise notice like, Fugghettabout it, or a mangling of a perfectly understandable language? Who knows, but it sure is motivating!

Back in college, I had professor, err, what’s his name, who on the first day of class discussed what was required for the semester. As is usual practice for most professors on the first day of lecture, he explained why there wasn’t any reason we couldn’t achieve a passing grade in his course. He said “You gotta have one special thing”. Then turned to the blackboard and wrote a single word in enormous, white, chalky letters, double underlined it, then nailed it with an explanation point. The word was “WANNA”. What the professor was saying, basically, was that if we had made the decision to pass the class, then we would. We only needed to want to pass in order to make the grade. It was very motivating even if it wasn’t proper English.

While I barely remember the subject matter in that course or, my professor’s name, his message had a lingering effect. I applied that single, motivating, beautiful, slang phrase to everything I thought I couldn’t do, particularly in times when I doubted myself and my own abilities. The phrase, You Gotta Have Wanna, was a proverbial push for me to get up and do something. Being a writer of children’s fiction, I ran with it. I found a voice and an audience for this phrase and discovered that all sorts could benefit from it, especially:

• Children considering a weight loss/behavioral program;
• Teens and Families struggling with eating disorders;

• Children with degenerative or genetic diseases/the healing process/finding a cure;

When it comes to writing, here are no boundaries as to where we can get our motivation. The ability to make sense out of nonsense is where real creativity comes in on both the part of the writer and reader.
