Dover, NH (PRWEB) July 18, 2006 -- SellMyTimeshareNOW is pleased to announce the promotion of Jim Paone from Sales and Advertising Manager to the Vice President of Sales. Jason Tremblay, co-CEO of SellMyTimeshareNOW, says, “Jim is an excellent asset to our company. He has helped us grow exponentially in the last year, something we expect will continue far into the future.”
Prior to working with SellMyTimeshareNOW, Mr. Paone had worked with companies as diverse as broadcast radio and financial services. It was this background with small businesses which gave him the experience and motivation to move on to an even more ambitious level. He manages with “the four E’s, taken from Jack Welch, which are to have Energy 24-7, Energize others around you 24-7, have Enthusiasm, and manage the Execution of the game plan.”
SellMyTimeshareNOW is focused not only on doing what is right for their customers, but they are also focused on doing what is right for their employees. As Mr. Paone says “We moved the company from Hampton to Dover for special reasons. This area had been crippled in the job market. I knew there were plenty of good people up here working for far less than they were worth, family people. With SellMyTimeshareNOW, we’ve brought excellent wages and a super working environment to Dover and the surrounding area, and we will continue to do that and more. There is outstanding growth in this company.”

Offering activities that encourage rediscovering one's sense of "being present" or focused. Golf, yoga and sipping in the fruits of the wine country is the vehicle for doing this. Guests may also involve themselves in cooking class or an actual day of wine making from vine to barrel with Kris Moe, an accomplished winemaker (K. Moe Wines, Nineteenth Hole).
The amenities include a private golf course, Sonoma Golf Club, where a PGA Tour event is played in late October and lodging accommodations at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn or a selection of vacation homes to choose from in the Sonoma Valley. The private homes can come with your own concierge service that assists with guests every need, even daily nanny services or organizing your own personal chef or massage therapist.
Kris Moe is qualified for this "Luxury Golf Experience" by the fact that he is at once a seasoned tournament golfer and coach and a winemaker for eleven years. He brings to his teaching the added value of actual PGA Tour experience garnered on the U.S. PGA Tour and European PGA Tour. His professional career highlights include a 25th place finish in the 1985 British Open, a 3rd place finish in the Australian PGA and the winner of 2003 Hawaii State Open. Some notable students who have enhanced their game with Kris Moe include actor Samuel L. Jackson, Tommy Smothers, numerous corporate CEOs and current Japanese PGA Tour star Shingo Katayama.

Recently I had an email debate with an angry reader who said I did not understand "the science of oddsmaking", as he called it.
He said I was wrong for suggesting oddsmakers care about who wins or loses games.
"Oddsmakers only care about splitting the betting public 50/50 on both sides of the line and keeping the commission (a.k.a. juice)," he wrote.
He might have been right about not understanding "the science of oddsmaking". After all, I'm not an oddsmaker. That said, I stick to my assertion that oddsmakers (a.k.a. sportbooks) often do care about who wins games.
Granted, as a general rule, sportsbooks try to balance their action so that they're not exposed to big losses. However, there are times when this is difficult to pull off, regardless of how much a line has moved. There are also times when that general rule is ignored and a book pursues risk.
Generally speaking, it's safe to say the books in Vegas are risk-adverse. Unlike in the past when the wise guys ruled the town, Vegas is now corporate and the goal of most casinos is to make as much money as possible with as little risk as possible.
Thus, Vegas sportsbooks try everything in their power to balance the action. They're satisfied simply collecting the juice. But these profits are small, especially compared to the take from other casino games, namely slot machines.
Because the profits at Vegas sportsbooks are so small, you could argue that many casinos operate sportsbooks simply as a novelty to keep the tourists happy.
With a growing aversion to risk, it should come as no surprise that Vegas bookmakers have been panicking this NFL season.
Despite huge pointspreads, a disproportionate percentage of bettors are still laying their money on favorites like the Eagles, Colts, Pats and Vikings rather than the dogs (a common trend for the largely recreational bettors that visit Vegas).
And much to the dismay of the books, those favorites are finding ways to cover the thick chalk. In fact, prior to Week 7, the four teams listed above are a combined 16-2-2 (88 percent) against the spread. (The tables turned dramatically in Week 7, but more on that later.)
The result has been an early-season beating for the books, and a bonanza for bettors.
While Vegas increasingly hates risk, it's no longer a major player in the sports betting world. Most of the betting action now takes place offshore where sportsbooks are not as obsessed about balance. In fact, some books encourage exposure to risk because the rewards can be so much bigger.
Consider MySportsbook.com. On its website, the book has odds pages which actually display the amount of action it's getting on games. In other words, you can see how much action the book is taking on both sides of a pointspread, moneyline or over/under.
One look at these numbers and it's obvious MySportsbook.com does not balance every game. In fact, far from it.
Take last weekend's matchup between St. Louis and Miami. By game time on Sunday, 83 percent of the betting action at MySportsbook.com was on the Rams; only 17 percent was on Miami.
What's interesting is that MySportsbook.com opened the pointspread with Miami at +6 1/2. By game time, the spread had lowered to +5.
That goes contrary to the balancing theory. If MySportsbook.com had wanted to balance the action, it would have given Miami more points; instead, it took away 1 1/2. World Series odds are now up as well.
MySportsbook.com exposed itself to even more to risk, and rolled the dice on the underdog Dolphins. Why? I contacted a representative with the book to find out. His answer was simple.
"The line moved early based on 'smart money' from sharp players," said Jeff Gilroy, a spokesperson for the book. "We also knew from early in the week that we would need Miami, therefore (we dropped) the spread to encourage Rams money.
"At the end of the day, we liked the home team."
So the conclusion is this: MySportsbook.com respected the sharp action, and gambled that the sharp bettors had a better take on the game than the recreational bettors, who were hammering the visiting Rams.
In the end, the gamble paid off. Miami, desperate for a win in front of its home fans, pounded the overrated Rams, who are terrible on the road and even worse on grass. Final score: 31-14 Fish.
MySportsbook.com was also heavily exposed on numerous favorites in Week 7, including Philadelphia, Seattle and Denver. All three failed to cover.
The fact that sportsbooks are exposed to risk on certain games is really nothing new. The fact, that Sportsbook.com is willing to show the public where it's exposed is intriguing.
Armed with this type of information, bettors can make more educated wagers. They can get an idea where the sharp money is going and conversely where the public money is headed.
MySportsbook.com is opening up its cashbox, letting bettors look inside and challenging them to take their best shot at grabbing the cash.
