People who just got to know me are always surprised when they find out that I like to gamble. Although I have tried my hand on betting on all sorts of games and sports like horse racing, soccer, tennis, baseball, poker and other forms of sweepstakes and lotteries, I do not think that I am a chronic gambler because I always calculate my odds first and I can always stop when I feel that my luck is not getting me anywhere. I call this calculated risk.

While some people think that gambling is a bad habit, I personally feel that it provides an opportunity for us to sharpen our mind and skills in calculating our odds. Of course, smart gamblers never bet blindly and we do read as much as we can because knowledge is power.

One of the websites that I newly stumbled upon with the Best online gambling reviews and recommendations is called Sportsbook-Watch, which you can check out at http://www.sportsbook-watch.com/

Although I have been to many betting websites, this is one of the most comprehensive sites that I have come across because it has reviews and guides for all the major sports games, pokers and casino reviews. Not only that, when we bet, we need trusted books and Sportsbook-Watch has a section featuring top books in the United States and the United Kingdom. What I find particularly useful is the blacklisted sportsbook. You may want to check out the long list first!

Also particularly useful is the translated guides in Spanish, German, French and Italian. Although I am not new to gambling, I find the site very informative and I believe that even more experienced bettors could gain extra knowledge though Sportsbook-Watch too.
