You a Sports Fan???
February 4th, 2008
Well, I found this Totally FUN, and YES, totally Addicting Site! click here to check it out!
Now I don’t know ANYTHING about sports, nor do I really care to learn, but this concept is so much fun, and you don’t have to pay anything to place a bet, yet if you win, you can remove your winnings by requesting a check, or payment to your PayPal account as soon as it hits $10 or more.
The concept is simple. Since its now illegal to place bets online for gambling, they GIVE you .10 cents. That’s right - one thin dime - FREE to you! Wow, you may say. What am I going to do with a whole dime? Can’t really even buy a candy bar with that anymore. Sheesh! No more .10 cent candy! But imagine, it you bet .10 cents on a game and doubled your money. Then you’d have .20 cents. And if you did that a couple of times, you’d eventually have a DOLLAR!
OK, so a DOLLAR isn’t that much money anymore either - - - but how many of you remember that economics class you had in high school where the teacher posed this scenario: “If I gave you a penny today, and doubled it tomorrow, and continued to double each day for a month, with the proviso that you had to spend all of it each day to get the next payment, you wouldn’t be able to spend that much money!” Of course, my answer was always “TRY ME!!!!”
To this day, I still think I could pull it off. That teacher had no idea the lengths or ideas I could come up with to spend that kind of money. If I had to hire someone to move all the freeways in the nation 6 inches to the left, I’d find a way to get that money spent! I’d be building bridges from LA to Hawaii - it boggles my mind. I’d have a fleet of personal jets in every color of the rainbow. Eat breakfast in Rome, lunch in Spain, and dinner in LA. Yes, I do think I could spend that much money easily! But I digress - - -
Anyway, the concept is kind of the same here. What if you started with .10 cents, and doubled it each day - how long would it take to get an amount of money that would make you smile? And what if it wasn’t even your own .10 cents to start with? And what if you lost it, someone just gave you another .10 cents to try again? Sound like fun???? I thought so - - - All you have to do is know your sports teams, or like me know absolutely nothing and hope to get very lucky by betting on the favorites?
You can make the same bets you would have made when betting sites were legal, and you’ll see the same odds posted if you were betting in Las Vegas! Now how many of you placed a bet on the Super Bowl yesterday? Wouldn’t it have been fun if you’d betted on that with money that didn’t even come out of your pocket?
So, here’s how it goes. The site has advertisers sponsor the program. So the money they get from the “Sponsors” is where your .10 cents comes from. You can place any bet your want with your dime. If you win you get to keep it, and bet again. You can bet all, or part of it at any time. If you lose, they give you another dime to try again. You can make line bets, spreads, you name it. And the site even explains what all this is in plain English so even if you have no clue, its easy to do. Or do like me, pick the favorite, and hope for the best!

p.s. Now that I’m a BIG TIME SPORTS BETTER, I have .10 cents on the game tonight! GO 76-ers!!!!!
Or for those that still aren’t sure how this all works, here are some Frequently Asked Questions.
=================
FAQ:
Q: What is CentSports.com?
A: CentSports.com is just one of many places on the Internet where you can place bets for real money on major sporting events.
What makes CentSports unique is that we rock much, much harder than those other sites … for example, it never costs anything to place bets on CentSports … think about that … or not, for all we care. Haha, but seriously, instead of you paying for your bets, on CentSports your bets get paid for by organizations and indivduals who advertise on this site (our sponsors). You never have to (and in fact, can’t) put money into the site.
Q: Who developed / manages CentSports … and why?
A: CentSports is being developed by a group of (badass) students and professionals based out of College Station, Texas. Given the location, most, though not all of us, are associated in some way or another with Texas A&M University.
The project started in response to last year’s Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (which, shamefully, was officially termed the “Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006″ by congress … look it up on Wikipedia). That bill made it illegal to use any online betting or gambling site that you could deposit money into, effectively shutting down all such sites which existed at that time.
For those of us who enjoyed sports betting, this was bad news. This project is our response to this loss … so people can’t pay money to make bets? Fine, we’ll let people make bets for free and let our advertisers cover the tab.
Q: So how does it work?
A: It’s simple … when you first sign up for CentSports, we give you ten cents ($0.10) to bet with. You can use this to bet on almost any major college or professional sporting event (MLB, NBA and NFL games, etc.). Anything you win you keep and can use to place more bets, accumulating money as you go.
You can cash out whenever you want (as soon as you have a balance of $10.00 or more) … we just send you a check (or PayPal transfer if you want) for your account balance.
We’ve tried to replicate what you can do at ’standard’ sports betting sites … i.e., you can make standard line-type bets such as over/under, point-spread, and moneyline bets. In fact, we get our lines straight from Vegas … any bet you make on CentSports could be made with any sports bookie in Vegas for the same odds.
Overall, the site makes more from advertising than people cash out … though one of our goals in creating the site was to make sure that as much of the site’s advertising revenue goes back to CentSports user as possible (after all, they’re the ones who earned it by viewing ads in the first place!).
Q: Ten cents doesn’t seem like much money … why should I care?
A: On an average sports bet, you can usually come close to doubling your money if you win. Think about it … if you start with 10 cents, after you win your first bet, you’ll have about 20 cents. If you bet those 20 cents and win again, you’d have about 40 cents, and so on.
If you keep doing this, doubling up and re-betting your winnings each time, you can accumulate some significant winnings. When you sign up, check the top cashouts … in particular the people who have cashed out $100+ on the site with this strategy.
Q: What if I lose all my money?
A: Then we give you another 10 cents for free so that you can keep on betting. Because of our sponsors, your balance can never fall below 10 cents … you’ll always have at least something to keep making bets with.
Q: Can I deposit money into my account?
A: No, the only way you can get more money into your account is by winning bets. You always have $0.10 to bet with, thanks to our advertisers, but you can’t put money into your account.
Q: Can I get money out of my account?
A: Yup. Any time you have a balance of $10.00 or more in your account, just click the ‘Cash Out’ link on the CentSports.com main page and we’ll mail you a check (again, or PayPal transfer if you prefer) for your account balance.
Historically, most people cash out soon after they get over $10, but there’s no restriction on how much you can win and cash out.
Q: Which games can I bet on?
A: Generally we have lines for most professional and college sporting events. Almost every college and professional baseball, basketball, football, and hockey game has lines on the site. We’re working hard to add more sports (soccer, horse racing, etc.).

Great site I was paid within 12 hours of requesting. Though I would recommend getting a bit above the cashout and not to withdraw all to give yourself some playing money still.
Good advice! I use the same concept when making bets. I don’t bet everything I have. I always leave enough to bet another day (just in case I lose) - hahahahhaha!
Hey, its only nickels and dimes at this point, but what the heck! I’m having a blast doing it!
