The stakes were high – if Texas won, the Onlinegambling.co.uk Sports Guru would win a $100 straight bet on the game, break even on a parlay bet and capture the future’s bet, worth $700.  All Texas had to do was keep the game close, as Alabama was a 4 ½ point favourite on the online sports betting lines. 

Online gambling successes are often determined by the unforeseen breaks of the game.  You can do studious homework on your subject matter; factor in all the variables that can affect the outcome of a contest, and make your choice.  However, there are some factors, such as health and injuries to players, which can not be foreseen.

The Guru selected Texas because of the outstanding character and talent of the team’s Quarterback, Colt McCoy.  Sure enough, the Guru’s faith in him was validated early in the game when Texas scored on a field goal in the opening minutes of the contest, and was driving toward the Alabama goal line again when the unthinkable occurred – McCoy was blindsided on a scramble run and pinched a nerve in his throwing shoulder. 

This injury sidelined McCoy for the remainder of the contest and, ultimately, spelled doom for the Texas Longhorns and the Sports Guru of Onlinegambling.co.uk.  Without McCoy in the game, the University of Alabama overwhelmed the freshman backup quarterback of Texas, and tallied 13 points in the final minutes of the contest to post a 37-21 victory. 

If McCoy had not been injured, the Guru feels that his bet would have been secure, and his online gambling bottom line would have shown a net profit of $1440 for the College Bowl season.  Instead, his bottom line reflected a deficit of $270, despite winning 18 of 33 College Bowl games on the online sports betting line.

For the entire college year, the Guru had another successful campaign, registering $430 profit.  When you factor in all the fun and enjoyment you derive from online gambling in online sports betting venues, you have to admit that it was an exciting experience, as well as a profitable one.

There is much good news on the horizon for the loyal followers of Onlinegambling.co.uk.  Due to the overwhelming popularity of his columns and uncanny success in the online sports betting arena, the Onlinegambling.co.uk Sports Guru will soon have his own page on this site.  That means you will be able to take advantage of his knowledge and expertise on a weekly basis.
