The Bodog Sportsbook has been a trusted place for sports fans to make their wagers and learn about the games they enjoy.
Basketball betting, especially the
NCAA Tournament, is some of the best action all year. Bodog knows that this is a special time of year for basketball fans, and they're offering a special promotion in their poker room that will get one lucky fan and a friend to the NBA Finals at the end of the season.
But that's just a part of this promotion. The
Ultimate Sports Fan Contest not only gets you to the NBA Finals, it also puts you in the seats at the next Super Bowl, Stanley Cup final, and World Series. That's four trips to the biggest professional sports championships, and to make sure you have a good time Bodog will give you $500 cash for each event. There are also weekly prizes drawn that include an NCAA event, a NASCAR race, and the U.S. Open golf tournament.
All you have to do is place in the money in three
sit-and-go tournaments during the dates of the contest (Feb 15 to Mar 14). But you say that you don't play a lot of poker, and you think that you can't do it? If you get how to play basketball you'll get how to play poker. Poker can be related to a lot of sports because the player styles are a lot like team styles, and if you understand how the two basic basketball offensive styles operate, you'll understand the two basic styles of poker players.
In basketball a team will either play a patient offensive game where they run plays and work for an open shot, or they'll have a full court offense style that moves the ball fast, looking for easy baskets through aggressive ball movement. These two types of basketball offense are a lot like the basic styles of poker players. In poker there's your “rock” type player who plays a tight style, waiting for situations where they have a favourable situation to act. The other type of player is the aggressive type that forces the action and takes chances.
The rock type of player is like the perimeter shooting offense. They take their time and work a situation until it looks like they have a good spot to take their shot. They rarely get caught in a bad situation and they're never in a hurry to make a decision or execute a play. The aggressive type of poker player is a like the full-court offense style of play. They're always ready to go on the offensive with speed, hoping to overwhelm their opponents and win easy points.
Once you recognize which players fit into which category you'll be able to base your decisions against an opponent with this information in mind. If the type of player suddenly becomes offensive, you're likely up against a big hand. And when you have a big hand against the full-court type of opponent you can let them use their aggression against themselves, and trap them into dumping their chips to you as you slow-play your big hand.
To qualify for the dream package all you have to do is make it in the money three times. If you're new to the game play at stakes that don't cost you a lot of money and eventually you'll win enough to be eligible for the draw.
