Gamblers Paradise – New Sports Arbitrage Trading Alert Service Website

Posted by Aegist on April 28th, 2007

Gamblers Paradise is the most recent website to be added to the growing list of Sports Arbitrage Trading alert services, and it is completely free. Working along similar lines to the odds comparison websites like SportsPunter, BetBrain, Tip-Ex, OddsExchange etc, Gambling Paradise is aimed at recreational gamblers to an extent, yet also offers a rather comprehensive arbitrage alert service too.

They will be added to the Alert Services page sometime in the coming weeks, and to the Free Trial page too (since they are completely free), and then when the SureBetBookies Sportsbook Database is updated sometime in the next month, they will be added to the database along with a couple of other new alert services which will be released in the coming weeks.

More Information On USA Gambling – Intertops Email

Posted by Aegist on April 23rd, 2007

I just got this email from Intertops. I thought it was worth posting.

Dear Intertops.com Customers,

The following email is being sent to you as a courtesy to the Antigua Online Gambling Association. Intertops.com has been licensed in Antigua and Barbuda for over 10 years – a Tier 1 jurisdiction of choice with first rate regulatory enforcement.

As you may be aware, online gambling has been under attack by the United States for the last decade. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has successfully challenged the malicious prosecution of Antiguan operators in the World Trade Organization. The WTO has found that the US’s application of its laws against Antiguan entities is protectionist and in violation of the General Agreement on Trade in Services.

Now that Antigua has won the legal battle, it can use political support in Congress. Here’s how you can help. Please email and phone your representative in the House of Representatives and your two Senators. Remind them that the United States needs to abide by the decision in the Antigua-Gambling matter if it expects other countries to comply with WTO decisions in favor of the United States.

Here is a link to a letter to the USTR from Representative Ros-Lehtinen, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs:

http://www.antiguawto.com/LettertoUSTR.pdf

Rep. Ros-Lehtinen eloquently noted, “…our failure to resolve this dispute may harm our credibility as we seek to press countries like China regarding their violations on a range of issues, including intellectual property protection, subsidies, and currency manipulation.” She further warned, “In the event the United States fails to reach a satisfactory resolution of the Antigua dispute, it could provide China with an argument to ignore a WTO decision favorable to the United States.”

Please send the link above to your Representative and Senators. Ask them to send similar letters to the United States Trade Representative. Let them know you vote, you pay taxes, and you think the United States should comply with the decision in the Antigua-Gambling matter.

To contact your Representative and two Senators, follow the links below or call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and give them your zip code. Make sure you call three times.

We will continue to fight the legal battle, please help us with the political fight.

Thank you,

Antigua Online Gambling Association & Intertops.com

Posted by Aegist on April 16th, 2007

According to an article posted on Casino Gambling Web recently, Congressman Barney Frank told reporters that he would be pursuing a repleal of the recent unlawful gambling act recently enacted in the USA. Barney Frank had previously spoken out againt the act before it was enacted, but now that the bill has been around for over a half year he will be introducing a bill to see how much support their is to repeal the ban.

To support the repeal, you can sign a petition here: http://www.repealuigea.com/ and you can write to USA congressmen directly: Full list available here: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml

I strongly recommend signing the petition. I signed it, and I’m not even from the USA.

Blog Subscription Service

Posted by Aegist on April 16th, 2007

Subscription service changed from RSSPect to Feedburner because the RSSPect method of syndication, as cleverly elegant as it is, just doesn’t work well with the wordpress php. So new list setup, and I am reasonably confident that this one will work (since Feedburner syndication has been working well for the last year).

So, feel free to start registering for updates!

Newsletter Update and Other Site Improvements

Posted by Aegist on April 15th, 2007

I have been working non stop on so many different aspects of the site lately that there have been quite a lot of improvements and hopefully they will be appreciated. If anyone has comments, please mention them in the forums or email me, I’m always interested in feedback and user ideas!

First of all, welcome to our new Newsletter! I have wanted to set up a good solid newsletter since I started the change over from the old website design to the new design you are all familiar with now. So, i set up a newsletter registration, but thanks to more issues than are worth mentioning, it seemed like a bad idea to continue with that newsletter system. Instead I have decided to make better use of this blog aspect of the website and better integrate syndication so that every visitor can now very easily register for updates from the here. If you scroll down to the bottom of this page you will find a text box. Enter your email address, check your email, click on a verification link…and you are subscribed! Easy as that. And it is all handled by RSSPect, so you know your email is completely 100% absolutely no doubts spam free no selling safe. Other options also include adding it to your Google Personalised homepage (I’ve done both), or Yahoo, MSN etc. It can actually be added to any form of syndication, but they are usually the easiest and most popular.

So register to this blog, now the ‘News and Articles’ section, and you will be kept in the loop completely with regards to Arbitrage Trading news, relevant online gambling news, and important SAG/SBB website news.

Specific Website Changes

Other changes around SAG include the addition of a Link Exchange submission form. So anyone who has a website who wants a link from SAG is free to enter their details and request an exchange. See the Link Exchange page for more details.

The navigation column menu is being improved slightly, so that you always know where you are in the scheme of the website progression. The advertising has been switched back to Google Adsense, since it seemed more people were interested in the topic relevant text links that the banner advertising. And I have finally managed to finish the Bookmakers Selection page (thanks to finally finishing SBB) and I have added a ‘Work At Home‘ page, to express the benefits of Sports Arbitrage Trading as a work at home job. I think I spend so much time on this site telling everyone how to be careful, and what mistakes to watch out for etc, that everyone who visits gets the impression that Sports Arbitrage Trading is a death trap full of certain peril. That really isn’t the case at all, it is just worth the effort to be wary of all of the possible mistakes, so that it can be as easy and cruisy as it should be. Once you have all of the bases covered, there really isn’t any better mechanism for making money from home at your own pace than Sports Arbitrage Trading.

I’m actually going to write an article on working at home as an arbitrage trader soon.
