If your looking for wagering action this weekend, it doesn聮t get much better then this as the World Cup of soccer, the Belmont Stakes, NBA Cheap Atlanta Braves Jerseys , NHL, MLB, PGA and NASCAR are all front and center.
In Germany there will be 12 stadiums, hosting 64 games that will put 3 million derrieres in the seat and the host country tackles Costa Rica on day one. Staggering numbers reveal 1.5 BILLION people will watch the opening match and 35 BILLION will take in the tournament and wagering outlets will be staffed to the maximum.
The Belmont Stakes from New York will wrap up a disappointing Triple Crown series that gave us the wonder horse Barbaro and then shattered our dreams with a freakish injury. I have been touting Bon & John all spring and like him in an exacter with Steppenwolfer that was named after the 70聮s rock band Steppenwolf.
Last night the Dallas Mavericks got subpar scoring games from stars Dirk Nowitzkie and Josh Howard Tom Glavine Braves Jersey , but Jason Terry lit the Heat up for 32 points. They also got some quality minutes from Eric Dampier to subdue the listless Heat. Once again the fragile foul shooting of NBA players is alarming and how are you going to win when just two players on the team get to the charity stripe. Shooting 36% (7-19) on a skill that you have practiced since kindergarten is perplexing to say the least.
The Edmonton Oilers are in serious trouble down 2-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes and look for the Chris Pronger team to lay a beating on the North Carolina based Canes. This series is far from over and I look for it to go the full seven.
All baseball eyes are on the Chicago Cubs who are floundering and this may result in the dusting of manager Dusty Baker. The Cubs have lost 11 of their last 16 overall, falling 12 12 games out of first place. At 23-36, they've matched their season low mark of 13 games under .500.
For the Cubs, it was another night of futile at-bats against the Reds Brandon Arroyo and two relievers. Chicago has lost three in a row Phil Niekro Braves Jersey , getting a total of 15 hits and two runs in those games.
The PGA tour is in Rye, New York for the Barclay Classic a tuneup for the US Open and Tiger Woods is resurfacing. The nine-week layoff is the longest of his career, and Woods said he isn't sure what to expect out of his game. But having playing 18 holes at Winged Foot on May 27, he knows what to expect from the course.
Mike Weir is in striking distance after round one and you may want to place a bet on him to win this weekend.
NASCAR parks their trailers in the picturesque Pocono聮s this weekend and the Roush team as usual will be front and centre as they have won the past two events staged there.
Happy Wagering!

Have you ever passed by a bakery display case without feeling the urge to buy at least one cookie Orlando Cepeda Braves Jersey , dessert or cinnamon bun? Have you ever taken a child into a candy store and not had them ask to buy at least one of their favorite sweets?
The smell of fresh baked goods and the memory of the taste of a candy bar makes us want to buy more. The owners of bakeries and candy stores don't have to spend a lot of time extolling the merits of their goods or the length of time they've been in business; they can concentrate on helping us satisfy our appetites.
Wouldn't you like to be in a similar situation with your marketing? How would you like to have prospects who were so eager to buy that you didn't have to sell, but could focus instead on taking more orders?
If you are like most small business owners you'd like to increase your sales but you don't enjoy selling. You don't want to be seen as a pushy person, whether it is on the phone, in person or in your marketing materials. The problem is that you don't sell baked goods or candy - instead you may sell accounting Deion Sanders Braves Jersey , design, engineering, or informational products and services.
What can you do to increase your sales and spend less time selling?
Stop Selling Stop worrying about closing the sale. Focus instead on understanding what your prospect wants, and open the door to a mutually profitable relationship. When a prospect thinks that all you care about is getting their money David Justice Braves Jersey , they'll view the relationship negatively and this can easily kill the sale.
Start Helping Once a prospect is at your web site or on the phone with you, they've demonstrated an interest in finding a solution to one of their problems or concerns. Take the next step and demonstrate your interest in them. Use your conversation or your site to ask them questions that will identify what they want to accomplish and how you can help them.
Help them clarify the problem they are trying to solve. Even our prosperous bakery owner has questions to ask. Is the hungry customer looking for bread for lunch, or a dessert for a celebration? How many people are they feeding? Once you have all the details, you confirm it by repeating the information back to them. ?You are planning a party for five couples and want a chocolate cake with mocha frosting. Is that right??
When your customer says yes Chipper Jones Braves Jersey , you've got your order. You just used a series of questions to get your prospect to tell you what they wanted. You didn't have to sell anything: they sold themselves. You helped them get what they wanted. Isn't that what you'd prefer to be doing?
Obviously, the questions you use to 'sell? are going to be unique to the products and services you provide. Remember that when people come to you, they are hungry for a solution. The questions you ask can help them define exactly what they need and, more importantly Bob Uecker Braves Jersey , what they want. Then you can take their order.
Does this approach apply to selling less tangible and less immediately satisfying services and products?
