Maximum Limits on Stakes
Usually professional bettors say that the maximum stakes may affect your arb sports betting plans. It may even prevent you further by placing your full stake while arbitraging, so before you place the initial bet, make sure that none of the bookmakers you have registered within the arbitrage have a maximum limit. It's also very important to take note and understand that all betting exchange prices are subject to some sort of a stipulation limit. So make sure before betting that you examine the available liquidity at the second and third prices in line, not just the best price

Change in Prices
Most sport books online offer different prices for different events, so before placing your bets in arbitrage betting, it's often a good idea to check first that the prices your bookmakers offer are still available. The point here is to not depend on the bookies that hold their prices. Furthermore, the prices on exchanges can change very rapidly, so it's important to make sure that when you are considering arbitrage that you place any exchange bets while the first price lasts.

Crooked Bookmakers
Sports books and bookmakers are just about everywhere online nowadays, which makes finding a reliable one quite hard. Unfortunately there is a long list of dodgy sites that have deprived punters of their legitimate winnings. It is absolutely critical that you make sure the site you are betting on guarantees a return on winnings! If at all possible, I suggest taking a look at reviews before even bothering to sign up at a site let alone bet at a site. In the end, though this will take some time, you will be saving yourself a whole lot of heart ache. Make sure you look for the sites rankings,, check reviews on forums, and you can actually even go to a search engine, type in the name of the site, plus add "reviews" at the end of your query, and the results will show you reviews for that site in particular.

Arbitrage Sports Betting Rules
Bookmakers most likely will always set different guidelines for setting bets on arbitrage sports, with irregular outcomes. Of course this is going to affect the arbitrage you are dealing with. So it's best to check the guidelines maintained by the bookmakers before you place your bets.

The Easton Clarity models, in particular, bring to the game a new era of bat integrity and performance. It's well known that once these composite bats are fully broken in they become more flexible and give more pop when hit. Although this is great for the individual user, it provides an unfair advantage in competition and is not allowed in league play. To counteract this, the various governing boards have set guidelines for bat usage; but until Clarity, there was no way to tell when a bat has been used beyond its legal limit. Clarity is an ultra-thin see through layer that encases the surface of the bat. This layer will start to develop tiny white cracks along the surface as the composite material starts to break down. By the time the bat is beyond legal usage it will be completely white, making it easier for Umps to determine the eligibility of the bat, thereby effectively maintaining the integrity of the ball game.

Easton

Of the Clarity models, the 2009 Easton Stealth Clarity is the most popular fastpitch softball bat around, and for good reason. The bat features ConneXion, the patented 2-piece technology that acts like a hinge and provides the most efficient energy transfer from handle to barrel. Also featured is CNT, a composite material that delivers both strength and flexibility, effectively lengthening the sweetspot. This combination of ConneXion and CNT make for a fast swinging bat with maximum head speed driving power into one of the longest hitting zones.

Another popular option is the Easton Synergy Clarity. This Easton fastpitch softball bat is also made of CNT, giving one of the longest hitting zones, but also features VRS (Vibration Reduction System) which eliminates vibration from hitting, making this one of the most comfortable bats to use. The Easton Synergy Clarity complies with all bat performance standards including ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, SSUSA, and ISF. Unlike the Easton Stealth Clarity, the Easton Synergy doesn't use ConneXion technology, delivering peace of mind to those who worry about breakage.

Worth analysis can shed more light on another party's needs than volumes of cost data. Accountants and cost specialists have avoided worth because it is difficult to analyze and defend. Their avoidance is unfortunate because the key to setting sensible negotiating targets lies more in what a thing is worth than what it costs.

Worth

What something is 'worth' depends upon how we approach this value question.

Recognize that in negotiating an exchange of goods or services, each participant may value items differently. A buyer, the buyer's organization, the salesperson, and the salesperson's organization do not see the product or price the same way. The salesperson may view the sale in terms of a free trip to Hawaii, while the buyer may perceive it as just another requisition to be disposed of. Neither may be deeply concerned with profit, cost, or use. The exchange of goods or services can be worth something different to every person involved.

Here's just a few ways we can look at 'worth.'

1. Worth may be related to a company's ability to pass increased cost on to a third party. A product may actually be worth more to a buyer if they pay more for it. This happens when a percentage is added by the buyer and passed on to the customer.

2. Companies who automate can build a mousetrap faster. Yet they can charge the same price that less efficient producers do. Their costs are irrelevant with respect to price.

3. A component that does the same work as three other parts can be worth the price of the three parts it replaces.

4. Worth may be related to a buyer's gain. If a seller knows that a buyer will make a windfall profit in reselling the product, the seller may raise their price so they can make a claim on some of the windfall.

5. A company may be content to sell a product at a price that merely covers direct costs, if in doing so they can keep their employees working during a slow period.

6. When a publicity agent takes on an important client at a low fee, they do so in the hope that other big-name clients will be attracted.

7. The worth of a service may be established by a standard or custom, or based simply on ability to pay.

8. Worth and special knowledge are related. The tax accountant with experience on a specific problem may charge on the basis of what they know rather than on a time basis.

9. Worth may be related to matters irrelevant to the economics of a specific transaction. In mergers and acquisitions, companies may be worth a lot if stock is exchanged, and much less if cash is used.

10. Worth can be related to what might happen is the deal falls through.

11. Worth may be related to cost. In a free, competitive market, it sometimes is.

There are many ways to look at the broad question of 'value' and 'worth' - a very important component in any negotiation. Conduct a little 'worth analysis' the next time you plan for a negotiation. I find this useful when establishing targets.

As a baseball equipment retailer and, quite frankly a person who loves the game, we often get asked to pick the best bat. Rather than play favorites, the following is a review of two of what will be the best selling bats in the 2008 equipment line up.

Demarini

New for 2008 the Demarini CF3 is making waves all over the college baseball world. The CF3 is Demarini first attempt at a composite baseball bat and they past the test with flying colors. The Demarini CF3 is the first double wall composite bat that has 2 walls acting independently of each other for maximum trampoline effect. This combined with the new clutch end cap give this bat the biggest sweet spot in the game and allows for maximum performance on off center hits.

The Easton Stealth Composite is new for 2008 and is Easton's second attempt at a composite baseball bat. The new Easton Stealth Composite comes two different ways the regular flex (BCN7) and the stiff flex (BCN8). The difference between the 2 is the amount of flex in the opti-flex composite handle. The regular flex has 3 times more flex than aluminum handles and the stiff flex has 1.5 times more flex than aluminum handles.

Easton second go around at a composite baseball bat is a huge improvement over the first. Last years version was very end weighted and a had a very heavy swing weight. In the new models Easton moved the kick point toward the handle giving this bat an incredible balanced feel.

Whether you choose the Demarini CF3 or the Easton BCN7, BCN8 baseball bats, you are swinging one of the hottest bats on the planet. So, keep you eyes and ears out for these new bats at a field near you.

But Burns does much more than merely walk his reader through the history. He also offers a sharp critique of and a push for overhauling the institution. His central argument is that the founding fathers never intended to put in place a judicial branch with absolute and final authority to overrule congress and determine what is and is not constitutional. As such, the book concludes with a call to reshape the role of the supreme court by adding an amendment to the constitution allowing the American people to decide if they wish to grant judicial supremacy to the court or not.

MacGregor

The power grab started with Justice Marshall, the first significant figure of the court. Amazingly, the justices who preceded him cared little for the job. For example, John Jay, the first chief justice, resigned to run for governor of New York. But Marshall's impact continues to resound to this day. In what I like to think of as the big bang case, Marbury v. Madison, President Jefferson sought to deny Marbury a minor government position that had been promised by President Adams, and a man named Charles Lee pointed to the Judiciary Act of 1789 as evidence that Marbury should receive his commission. Justice Marshall ruled in 1803 that the Judiciary Act was unconstitutional and denied Marbury his post. This decision was subtle, brilliant, and the basis of judicial supremacy over the government because it set a precedent that gave the Supreme Court power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.

Ever since, America has been at the mercy of an institution whose members are not elected or subject to checks and balances. This, argues Burns, contradicts a fundamental principle of American democracy-that the people decide.

More than just a philosophical crisis, this paradigm has historically produced disastrous real world consequences, according to Burns. The court viciously upheld pro-slavery laws until the Civil War with rulings such as Dred Scott, and it continued to combat civil rights initiatives during the Reconstruction period with decisions like Cruikshank, which Justice Bradley cited in declaring that "depriving white people of the right of choosing their own company would be to introduce another kind of slavery" (89).

These are not isolated travesties. Burns argues that with the exception of the Warren Court, which fought for civil rights such as Miranda, the judiciary has historically been on the wrong side of history, siding with slave owners and corporate interests.

Most of the great presidents, such as Jackson, Lincoln, TR and FDR, spoke out against and/or took measures to curb the court. Jackson infamously dared the court to enforce its ruling in favor of the Cherokees and vetoed rechartering the Bank of the United States, flouting at Marshall's McCulloch decision. Lincoln marginalized Justice Taney by preserving the Union, even though Taney thought the South had the right to secede. TR described Supreme Court justices as "a menace to the welfare of the Nation" (122). And FDR successfully pressured the court to stop obstructing the New Deal, though it may have been a pyrrhic victory.

Burns concludes with a dire warning about a coming crisis spearheaded by the Bush administration's hard right push. Although the Roberts court has offered some hope by restraining Bush's abuses of executive power with rulings that outlawed the practice of using military tribunals to detain terror suspects without habeas corpus and holding them indefinitely, the recent trend has been dramatically towards conservatism, with rulings that criminalized "partial-birth" abortion and "blocked court challenges to the constitutionality of Bush's grants of federal money to religious institutions providing services under his 'faith-based initiative" (239).

In that vein, what I found most fascinating is Burns' account of the historical role of the Republican Party. I always love to say that history is worth learning because it's shocking. More than just the party of Lincoln that emancipated the slaves, the Republicans tirelessly fought to implement the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which made all native-born Americans full citizens, and they passed the fourteenth amendment. In those days, it was the Democrats who obstructed progress.

Such a scenario is difficult to fathom now, considering how dramatically the Republicans party has disgraced itself and this country. In so many ways they shame the legacy of Lincoln with their racist agendas, whether it be calling for rewriting the fourteenth amendment or legally authorizing racial profiling or opposing the Islamic center in Lower Manhattan.

Just as the Republicans would better serve America if they returned to their original noble ideals, the Supreme Court should likewise be restored to its initial purpose. Although, to be sure, Burns does not draw the Republican/Supreme Court analogy in his book, he proposes that the court's authority should be limited, and that it must "interpret ambiguous statutes, adjust conflicting laws, clarify jurisdictions, and police the boundaries of federal-state power-virtually all of its present responsibilities except that of declaring federal laws unconstitutional. It would simply be brought closer to the role the Framers originally envisioned for it" (254).

There is a particular technology that is used in the manufacturing of the Demarini softball bat. It has a double walled construction that allows each wall to contribute individually to the springlike action of the bat surface. The pressure that results from the hit is not limited to the walls but goes through the entire length of the bat barrel. This helps a lot when you hit the softball with the bat.

Demarini

Aluminum is the material used to give Demarini softball bats their distinct look and feel. Strong heat is then applied which makes the metal more resilient. The right thickness of metal allows the bat to pass energy to the softball and give it greater momentum. Thus, using bats made by Demarini would allow you to swing better and make the ball go further when you make a hit.

Because of the company's dedication to craftsmanship and excellence, the best softball bats you can find in the market always have the Demarini name on them. They have been designed with the player in mind. Thus, each Demarini softball bat can be expected to have superior feel, distance and durability.

At present, the company continues to search the entire planet to find the best materials and technologies they could use to produce the ultimate bat. The company also strives to implement better parts and designs, so that softball players will do better out in the field.
