Today at the fbFund REV demo day, Thread.com (formerly “Frinto”) announced that they have received funding from a number of well known valley investors. Thread.com leverages Facebook Connect to create a site for social dating via friendly introductions. While Facebook has a number of large dating applications, none of them work quite as smoothly as this one.
Interestingly enough there are a number of dating applications that are attempting to do the same thing but none have relied solely on Facebook Connect. Honestly, I think it’s a great idea and given that users can instantly bring along their contacts when they register, all registration hurdles that typically plague dating websites have been eliminated. I’m honestly surprised that we haven’t seen more sites rely completely on Facebook Connect in order to get more traction.
The new round of funding came from a stellar group of investors:
- Founders Fund (Dave McClure)
- Ron Conway (Founding General Partner at SV Angel)
- David Sacks (CEO at Yammer and Geni)
- Auren Hoffman (CEO at Rapleaf)
- Reid Hoffman (Chairman at LinkedIn)
- Joe Greenstein and Saran Chari (CEO and CTO at Flixster)
- Shervin Pishevar (CEO at Social Gaming Network)
With a killer group of an investors, a nice design, and a great idea, there’s a good chance that the company has a bright future ahead of it. The only problem left is that the site may run into some problems once Facebook’s new privacy policies go into effect. Given the company’s well connected investors though, I’m sure things will work out!

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle bets done through arbitrage sports betting when they have such irregular results. As with the advice on pricing, be sure to check the rules of the individual bookmakers before you place your bets.
Following the philosophy of pyramiding, what happens in this system is that you place a bet and if you come out a winner you re-invest the winnings on the next wager. So in horse racing, for example, you simply let it ride. Also, unlike the other betting systems, the Parlay System offers a lower amount of risk of all bettors for because they only need be concerned with a win, place or show selection or a combination thereof.

It appears that the United States legal system is closer than ever before to cutting off ties with any type of online gambling within its boundaries. This includes poker, casinos, and sports betting among others. Generally speaking, anything that has to do with transmitting money via the internet as far as gambling is concerned is being cracked down on quite harshly.
So, having established that using a good Selection System is an absolute must if you want to make money from sports betting, how does the average Bettor actually go about making his/her betting selections? My research shows me that, in the main (ignoring the extremes), there are generally two approaches taken:
- The more conservative group looks at the "Short Odds" calls, and plays safe by selecting only those matches where they themselves feel very confident about the outcome.
- The more adventurous group analyses the matches and odds on offer, and then makes selections based on their own gut feeling about how the matches will turn out, making sure that the odds match their concept of a "value" bet.
