So you’re a poker player and you’re not very big on sports betting. You just don’t follow it enough to feel like you’d have much of chance of winning and you prefer a game where you have more control of what happens. Fair enough.

But when you play online poker at a site like Bodog that also has a casino and a sportsbook, it’s important to realize that one of the biggest perks you get from playing there is that you get to play against less experienced poker players who have made money in the sportsbook or casino and have come over to try their luck in the poker room.

This is precisely why online poker players need to follow who is winning in the sports world. The basic formula for knowing when there’s lots of loose money in the poker room is this: If the favored team wins, there will be more sports bettors in the poker room.

Bodog’s poker room fills up when the favored teams win, so get in there and take advantage of a poker room where the odds are thoroughly stacked in the experienced players favor. Some of the sports bettors will be experienced poker players, but most will not.

A good NFL game to keep your eye on this Sunday is the heavily favored New York Jets against the Kansas City Chiefs. If the Jets win, just take a peak in the poker room and watch as the fish swim in.

Head over to the Bodog’s online poker room and experience the joys of a soft poker game.
