2014 World Cup Bracket Tournaments are in Abundance

For those of you out there who are soccer/football fans and are eagerly awaiting the start of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil you might want to check out the numerous World Cup Bracket Tournaments available out there.

I was looking for a tournament to participate in and did a quick Google search and wow. I was blown away at the number of bracket contests out there.

Here are the World Cup Bracket Contest that caught my attention:

The Big Prize World Cup Bracket with a Catch

The one with the biggest prize is the $160-$175 million contest at http://www.megajusto.com/en/index.php.  The prize money is an estimate as the prize is actually 280,000 bitcoins and the catch is that a minimum of 99,000,000 tickets will have to be registered before the start of the World Cup or the contest will not be held. Deposits made would be refunded upon request in that event.

The NFL Draft is Over and Only MLB, NBA and NHL to Bet On

So the NFL Draft is over and we had some nice draft surprises like Shayne Skov the linebacker from Stanford who was expected to make it in round 4 who ended up signing up as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders.

One of the interesting tidbits that probably only a few people noticed is that no one from the Texas Longhorns were picked in this year's NFL draft.  Something that hasn't happened in 77 years.  On the other side of the coin, Baylor had the most players drafted with a total of 5.

To be honest, I can't wait for the NFL season to be back as I've tried my hand at doing some MLB picks and I can honestly say that I am struggling to stay with a 24-30 record.

The Benefits of Foreign Investment - Real or Not

So recently I decided to expand my investment portfolio because I am not getting any older and one day, I will completely retire, it was time to make sure my future was set.

Sure, I have some pretty good(or at least I think I do) real estate investments abroad and have a pretty steady gig with my sports betting picks but it never hurts to be prepared.

So I decided to try my hand in investing in foreign markets as I was reading that it's a great way to diversify your portfolio.

I am currently looking at a few of the top foreign investment companies and I have to say that I am overwhelmed with all of this information and am starting to wonder abut how safe is investing abroad.

Any help would be much appreciated as to what is the best way to invest abroad and which companies are safe and secure but also have the best ROI.

Gaming Company to Help the Jamaican Bobsled Team

So I just read this press release from 1vice.ag.  I normally would think that a press release from an online sportsbook would be just a way for them to get some free advertisement but in this case, I think that their heart is somewhat in the right place.

you be the judge as here is the press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 20, 2014 Gaming Company to Help the Jamaican Bobsled Team San Jose, Costa Rica – Sports entertainment and gambling company 1vice S.A. has created a financial campaign to help the Jamaican Bobsled team to help them with the cost of going to the 2014 Winter Olympics Games in Sochi, Russia. As two-man bobsled team, led by 46-year-old Winston Watts, has earned itself a place in the Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, they still have one obstacle to face, an $80,000 bill to cover travel and equipment cost.

If the Jamaican Bobsled team can come up with the money, it will be the first time in 12 years that Jamaica will have a presence in the Winter Olympics.

Unfortunately, the Jamaican team led by 46-year-old Winston Watts is not supported by Jamaica and are asking the public and companies for help.

President of 1vice S.A., Johnathan Griffin is a long time supporter of the Olympic Games and what they represent and has taken the initiative to help the Jamaican Bobsled team by offering his gaming client the chance to help out.

For every deposit made between January 20th, 2014 and January 29th, 2014, Mr. Griffin will give donate $5 to the Jamaican Bobsled team. In addition, any of his players who wish to make a contribution from their 1vice betting account; Mr. Griffin will match that donation.

“Ever since I saw the movie Cool Running with John Candy about the first Jamaican Bobsled team, I have been a huge fan of theirs and have been following them throughout their history.” said Mr. Griffin. “I strongly believe in what the Olympics represent and about underdog teams that have heart and high hopes which is why I want to do everything I can to help out.”

Winston Watts and brakeman Marvin Dixon of the Jamaican Bobsled team advanced through qualifying races in St. Moritz and now only have two more weeks to come up with the money.
