March Madness Betting is still a little ways away, so in the mean time, we’ll focus on NBA betting. Monday’s Houston at New Orleans match up is a great opportunity to see two hungry playoff teams face off against each other. Even though they’re separated by 3 spots in the playoff standings, they’re actually much, much closer when it comes to the win-loss record.

The NBA Odds line will be a tough call. Both teams have been playing well in their last dozen games or so. I’d say a 2-point line in favor of New Orleans, the home team, seems fairly reasonable. And if that’s the case, I’d go with New Orleans. Chris Paul has been unstoppable lately, and the team dominates at home. Something else that makes this such a charged-up game is the potential for it to be a first-round match up in the playoffs. I can guarantee you nobody wants to face New Orleans in round 1. They’re in prime position with momentum and talent to easily upset the Rockets, Jazz or Blazers, depending on where the chips fall at the end of the regular season.

On Wednesday, Orlando visits Milwaukee in a bout between an established title contender and a team fighting for its playoff survival. Even though the game’s at Milwaukee, expect a good 6-8 point line in favor of the Magic. And I’d take the Magic. In fact, I could see them crushing the Bucks handily, certainly ending in the double-digit range. The only wild-card with these games is if the Magic happen to put it away early, they’ll pull the stars early in the fourth quarter, which could hurt the final score. Still, they should be safe bet. Milwaukee will be playing with a ton of energy, but Orlando still needs to prove they belong in the same sentence as Cleveland, Boston and Los Angeles (Lakers, obviously). Do they? Time will tell.

And, last but not least, a reasonable sports gambling NBA finals preview match up on Friday the 20th between the Celtics and the Spurs. Two teams I expect to be there come June will face off in San Antonio. Catch this monster on national TV. Expect a 3 point line or so in favor of the Spurs. Tough call. Both teams have been above average but not spectacular the last couple weeks. Talent is even. I’d have to give the home team the benefit of the doubt and go with the Spurs. Their turf can be one unfriendly place to play for the visiting team.

Watching a blackjack tournament, while perhaps not as action-packed and engrossing as watching a World Series of Poker tournament can be, is still quick to the eye and fast-paced enough to hold your interest. Funny enough, I didn’t even know there were television online blackjack tournaments until recently. I can’t remember if I saw this online or on a cable channel late at night, but apparently a couple years ago CBS aired a couple television seasons of a show called Ultimate Blackjack Tour.

Of course, you seemingly can’t have televised gambling without somehow infusing some element of poker into it (outside of sports), so along with the professional blackjack gamers, the show introduced some big-time poker studs into the mix, as well. Johnny Chan was the only face and name I really recognized that was part of this.

I suppose, given the format of the show and how the system awarded money, there were poker correlations to be drawn, so having poker experts who certainly weren’t famous for their blackjack skills thrown into the mix wasn’t coming completely out of left field…most just out of short left center.

Anyway, they reviewed the entire show’s rules periodically throughout the gaming action, and I did a bit of research to fill in the gaps. Basically, there were 10 different tournaments per season, all televised. The first seven were known as preliminary, and the winners of each of these (different players in each), would come back for the finals, and this group would compete for a portion of more than a cool million bucks. I know that only equals 8…I guess two of the tournaments didn’t qualify for the finals, which they called the Tournament of Champions. The one episode I caught was “in-play” however.

In the process, it opens your eyes to some big-time blackjack.com legends who don’t get the exposure of poker greats. Here’s a quick look at a few names of blackjack you should know.

James Grosjean, who wrote a book about exploiting casino games, became a Blackjack Hall of Famer (yes, it exists) in 2006.

Anthony Curtis, who’s been playing blackjack forever, and is widely known and broadcast on television as a casino expert, including such shows as 20/20. He lies low these days, though.

There are, of course, dozens more names to throw out there, including the famous MIT man himself Mike Aponte. I’d encourage anyone interested to seek out the info and brush up of the pioneers and top brass of this excellent game.

In another article, I’ll go into the process of how you actually play elimination blackjack. The basic blackjack strategy is different but quite interesting, and definitely worth trying in a home game, casino or wherever you might have the opportunity.
