The Giant NCAA Football Point Differential

We’ve all seen them, those ridiculously large college football point spreads. Perhaps USC will be favored at 36 over a team joke. OR Florida is favored by 29 over Florida A&M. These games jump off the page immediately just because of the size of the spin.

And yes, they almost make you laugh because they are a joke, but what about betting on these games where the spreads can sometimes reach 40 points or more? Should you try playing a game with such a wide spread?

The short answer is no, but there are several reasons for this. First of all, when you talk about spreads this size, you’re also talking about some REALLY bad teams. And we’ve all been there, but nobody likes having to support a terrible team. Another sack allowed, another turnover, another missed tackle, it’s like the movie ‘Groundhog Day,’ mistake after mistake.

That’s one of the reasons you won’t see such big spreads on my system.

Another problem is that there is no real previous to follow. How can you determine if the team taking the beating will keep working, playing hard until the last shot is fired and trying to get the score that the number does?

Now, with the BCS involved, some schools will show no mercy because they are trying to get those almighty points in the polls. You’d think that would increase even more later in the season, right? Well, even that theory is not a lock based on past performances.

And that is my final point and probably the most important. Statistical evidence does not support taking any side in these lopsided games. Looking at the data, we were only able to find one instance where teams covered with a winning percentage greater than 53%. With a break-even point of 52.7%, that’s not enough to inspire confidence.

My advice: stay away from the giant NCAA point spread!

what’s wrong with

We’ve had a full month to evaluate all the NFL teams. Some clubs will make adjustments and start to fix problems. These are always teams that are either well coached or have significant depth with which to turn things around. For example, the Pittsburgh Steelers rested during their bye week with a 1-2 SU/ATS record. What’s wrong with fields? Well, nothing really, if you look patiently at the situation, which is what good handicapping is all about.

The Steelers have had a brutal schedule, especially the last two games, losses in Jacksonville and at home to the Bengals. But there is nothing to worry about. His defense is 13th overall and a robust fifth against the run. The only concern is getting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger healthy, and you have to give the kid some slack. He endured a traumatic motorcycle accident in the summer and then had an appendectomy in September! This team will be fine, and should have beaten the Bengals if not for two late turnovers.

This is the time of year to make adjustments if things are not going well. Two years ago, the Buffalo Bills weren’t playing on the ground until they decided to throw young RB Willis McGahee into the mix. McGahee powered up Buffalo’s running game, and the team was on fire, almost making the playoffs after an 0-4 start. That same season, the Patriots struggled a bit against the run, and during an October loss at Pittsburgh they allowed 225 rushing yards. The Pats coaching staff then inserted veteran nose tackle Keith Traylor in place of starting rookie Vince Wilfork. The move made a key difference as New England’s run defense was much stronger and more consistent. Here’s a look at some of the teams’ current weaknesses.

Cardinals: What’s wrong with Arizona’s great passing attack? He was No. 1 in the NFL last season. But this is a team that is overrated offensively. The addition of RB Edgerrin James is negated by the fact that his offensive line is terrible. They still don’t have a running game to balance things out, which would make the passing game more effective. James has an average of 3.4 ypc.

In Sunday’s 32-10 loss at Atlanta, Arizona’s only TD was a 99-yard interception return by Adrian Wilson. Quarterback Kurt Warner had another miserable game in Arizona’s third straight loss and was quickly demoted to backup quarterback. Coach Dennis Green announced that rookie Matt Leinart will start next week against Kansas City. Warner completed 11 of 20 passes for 128 yards with one interception and two fumbles. James was limited to 41 yards on 20 carries while the Cardinals rushed for just 31 yards. Adding rookie Leinart might help in the long run, but it won’t save them this season.

Ravens: What’s wrong with Baltimore’s offense? Despite a 4-0 start, this is a flawed team. QB Steve McNair hasn’t played well, with 5 TDs and three picks. Despite the comeback win over San Diego, the offense had 150 yards passing and 56 rushing. The offense is 10th worst in the NFL. Oh, his defense is excellent, which explains the 3-0-1 under the total mark, a trend that is likely to continue. And the defense has faced some really bad offenses (Tampa Bay, Browns, Raiders), so don’t burn out and buy a future ticket on this still-undefeated team.

Raiders: What’s wrong with the Raiders’ offense? Well, what’s not wrong with it! This offense just sucks, with coaches who have been out of the NFL for years and no quarterback. Aaron Brooks and Andrew Walter have been sharing time, but Walter proved he’s not quite ready for the NFL: Sunday against the Browns he was 9-of-23 for 68 yards! No change except the return of a young Daryle Lamonica will help this offense. Oakland is 5-31 SU, 9-26-1 ATS his last 36 as a dog and since losing the 2003 Super Bowl to Tampa Bay, the Raiders are 14-36-1 against the spread!

NY Giants: What’s wrong with the Giants’ pass defense? The team has an excellent and balanced offense that ranks second in the NFL. But the pass defense has been terrible, allowing 281 yards per game, third worst. They were lucky enough to beat the Eagles and were down 42-3 in Seattle before getting the respectable final score. The Giants are allowing 30 points a game and are 2-1 overall. Teams will continue to attack that weakness until they make changes. Good luck, as always… Al McMordie.

Baking Bubba’s Cakes for the Holidays

After the age of 50, some of us begin to take on different character traits. Some of these traits may be due to a smaller dose of testosterone flowing through our bodies or it may be that we have mellowed out over the years. The kids are grown, the weddings are over, and retirement is just around the corner. Now is the time for those hobbies and pastimes that we never made time for when we were young. Some of us have even started reading Southern Living magazine. (There are some attractive young women in this magazine, and they cover SEC football during the fall of the year.) Southern Living also has golf course features and they always have several articles on one of our favorite pastimes… FOOD.

Now the good news about cooking when you hit double cents (age 55) would be that your wife will no longer try to tell you how to cook or what you’re doing wrong. Usually she doesn’t care if she cooks a whole pound of bacon or uses a pound of butter on a plate. My spouse is so happy that he doesn’t have to make another decision about food or a meal that says absolutely nothing about anything I cook. Let me tell you guys who think you have to be a girly man to cook. Get a grip. This is the ideal time to grab your favorite adult beverage. The female of the species does not think it inappropriate for males to drink while slaving over a hot grill or gas stove.

Another benefit of cooking is the trip to the local grocery store. I quickly made friends with the wine section at my Kroger and women of all ages believe that if you’re a man and you buy food, you’ll have the answers to all your cooking questions. Go figure! I’m not kidding my wife, but it’s always entertaining to offer sage advice to women and the casual man on the proper preparation and cooking time of various dishes. I try to stick to the basics, like pork tenderloin, chicken, steak, and specialty burgers, but from time to time I offer advice on complicated dishes that I know absolutely nothing about.

This past Thanksgiving I decided I would make a special chocolate cake for friends and family. The ingredients alone cost me $45. Did I mention the recipe called Bourbon and thought what the heck, I might as well buy a half gallon since it was already in the store? One never knows when a friend or two might drop by while cooking and it would be downright inhospitable not to offer a libation or two. Anyway, most of my friends like their bourbon with sour mash, and if they find out I’m cooking, they’ll make a special trip to: number one, watch me make a mess, and number two, have a couple of shots. and solve the mysteries of the world.

The aforementioned cake includes 1/3 cup of bourbon (or was it 1 cup, I can’t remember) but it was a great cake and eaten by all my friends and family. I recall that the cake, icing, and frosting took a total of 1 pound of butter, 1 pound of sugar, and ½ pound of brown sugar. Plus there was buttermilk and powdered sugar included. Needless to say, the thing melted in your mouth and was completely consumed.

The only bad news in the whole story is the need to clean up once you’re done. When grilling, cleanup is simple, burn off grill grease, dispose of foil and disposable plates, and clean out beer cans. Cooking indoors is a totally different animal. Your spouse or significant other expects you to wash all pots and utensils used during cooking and to clean the stove and counter. Why is that? You’d think they’d be so happy for us to cook a meal or dessert that they’d at least volunteer to clean, I mean really, cleaning isn’t brain surgery. It’s not going to happen. Just go and do it.

The new boy

Hey everyone, I’m here for the new guy or gal who wants to get started in the affiliate marketing business and have a piece of the pie.

Well, I have to say that before you buy anything or get caught up in the hype, it’s harder than you think. It’s not impossible, but you will lose hair! If you don’t have, don’t rub too hard as the skin is not that thick.

I would say, “READ THE FINE PRINT”, especially when it comes to something like, “ONE-TIME PAYMENT FOR LIFE”. Yeah, introductions like that. I’m serious! For God’s sake, investigate! I cannot ask or beg of you enough. I learned the hard way and lost what little but hard-earned money I had in my account. Life lesson. I had to go through channels I don’t want to repeat by having my bank connect me with their investigator and a third party phone call with the company or service to resolve the issue.

In short, please be aware, my friends. We all want to be successful and prosperous and have an amazing life and lifestyle. I know yes, and I am working hard every day to achieve it.

Now let’s get to the good stuff. Getting started can be very frustrating, and knowing the right places to go is vital to getting out the starting gate faster.

STEP ONE: Select a hosting provider. There are so many out there with really great deals to choose from.

iPage, bluehost, HostGator, StartLogic, FatCow, justhost, Domain.com, SiteBuilder, GoDaddy.

Mine personally is “iPage”. Hosting for 1.99 per year and free domain. Great start and then you can change or upgrade at a later time when you are more established or see results.

SECOND STEP: Choose a Domain name for your Landing page. This can be overwhelming at times, but don’t get too attached to it. Choose a short name that is close enough to the niche or topic you are representing. For example, if you’re leaning toward the health and fitness genre, you might want to use something along the lines of “Healthlife.com,” or if you’re selecting a specific product, try to point to that name as closely as possible. . Do not make the site name too long as it is difficult to remember for one thing and another is that in Google, part of the title may be cut off because of this.

Most of the time it will be a broader topic or title so you can have more offers, products or services that fit your niche or category.

The two steps above are the most common way to start your business. There are tons of tutorials on the internet to guide you through the implementation process.

For Products, Services, Marketing, Traffic, and Subscribers, select the ones listed below. They’re great and I’d say most if not all marketers use them in some way.

CLICKBANK. Sign up to get your ads, offers, products, services and earnings.

A WEBER. What to write”.

UDIMI. Building your subscriber list

There are more like these, and other methods, but this is enough to get the ball rolling.

I started with a product that already has the landing page and domain created. I purchased an offer from ClickBank and it was very easy to follow to get started and drive traffic to my offers. It cost me like 37 bucks, and yeah I read the fine print lol. there are update packages there for a later date, but this will launch it. Really cool. But I am still building my own separate landing page for more opportunities to grow and generate traffic to double my subscriber list and make a living.

Well, I hope you get some helpful tips here and can explain some starting questions you might have.

I know that I am not a professional as I am also new to this business. There are definitely more guys here who can add to this with more detailed information and their strategies on how they get going.

So until another time I hope you have a great time in your new endeavors.

Health.

Cleveland Indian in the bushes, Scott Sauerbeck pleads not guilty

Doesn’t it always seem like there’s a scandal or some kind of drama going on when it comes to professional sports? Well, one would consider finding an Indian in the bush drama, a Cleveland Indian. take as an example Scott Sauerbeckthe Cleveland Indians pitcher, who was arrested this week for driving while intoxicated and obstructing official business.

Sauerbeck and a woman named Lily Miller were seen by a patrol car weaving in and out of the lane they were driving in. once police gave chase to the vehicle, Sauerbeck and Miller got to their feet and fled from the vehicle owned by Sauerbeck. Both Sauerbeck and Miller were detained while hiding behind some bushes.

Both Sauerbeck and Miller were charged with the same crime and were due to appear in Avon Lake Municipal Court, which is 30 miles from Cleveland. By pre-trial date, Sauerbeck, 34, had his attorney fax a not guilty plea to Sheffield Village District Attorney D. Chris Cook. This is not an uncommon practice in the municipal court system, Cook said. Miller was given the same court dates as Sauerbeck, and also entered his not guilty plea in court via fax, with trial scheduled for July 11, 2006. However, since the arrest, Sauerbeck he has not appeared in a game for Cleveland. on Tuesday he did apologize to his teammates and his family.

Sports memorabilia in the year 1960

It was the year 1960 -Did you know?

• Squaw Valley, California, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, had no snow as games time approached. A local Native American tribe, the Piute, performed an Indian snow dance and believe it or not, it worked. A snow storm ensued and the games continued as planned.

• Gold for the United States Olympic hockey team vs. Czechoslovakia in Squaw Valley, California. This gold medal was the first for the United States Olympic hockey team.

• Wilma Rudolph won 3 Olympic gold medals at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. At the age of 20, she was also known as the fastest woman in the world. She surprisingly, had polio when she was a little girl and wore leg braces until she was 12 years old.

• The US Men’s Olympic Basketball Team won the gold medal at the Summer Games. They defeated the Soviet Union.

• Floyd Patterson regained the world heavyweight boxing title after losing it a year earlier. He was the first boxer to accomplish this feat. He did it by knocking out champion Ingemar Johansson of Sweden in the fifth round of his match in New York.

• The Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League defeated the New York Yankees of the American League in a seven-game World Series. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Bill Mazeroski, the Pirates’ second baseman, hit a home run off Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry to win the World Series for the Pirates.

• Johnny Unitas, the quarterback for the Baltimore Colts, extending his touchdown passing streak by passing for touchdowns in 47 straight games. The passing streak ended the next week at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the same place the streak began.

• Green Bay Packers running back Paul Hornung set an NFL single-season scoring record of 176 points. This record would stand for 46 years.

• Betsy Rawls won her fourth US Women’s Open golf championship in July by hitting Joyce Ziske at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts. She had also won this event in 1951, 1953 and 1957.

• 1960 also saw the opening of the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina. The circuit was the host of the World 600 won by Joe Lee Johnson.

Top 10 NFL running backs of all time

Only one current running back, LaDainian Tomlinson, deserves to be named one of the NFL’s all-time top 10, and only one other player who has played in the 21st century, Emmitt Smith, makes the list. Does that mean RBs today are worse than before? No, but times have changed… there are two reasons why veterans dominate this ranking.

First, while RBs are still roughly the same size, defensive tackles have gotten huge and strong linebackers and safeties have gotten much faster, and to counter that, a passing attack has become more prominent. Second, the 16-game season packs such a punch that most teams use a “runner-by-committee” system or insert a second member with a contrasting style to rest their starter, thus decreasing its importance.

Okay, LaDainian and Emmitt, here are your partners.

1.Jim Brown. No one has combined power and speed like Brown’s 6-2, 228 record. In his nine seasons before abruptly retiring in 1966 at age 30, he led the league in rushing eight times (a record). He also holds the mark for most seasons leading the league in attempts (six) and most seasons leading in rushing touchdowns (five). What’s most impressive is that, of all the running backs who have ever played and had 750 or more attempts in his career, Brown after all these years still has the highest average win (5.2).

2. OJ Simpson. Plenty of runners are fast, but none as dazzling as Simpson (9.4 in a 100-yard dash), and none with his sharp eye for daylight. He was the first player to rush for 2,000 yards in a season (he did it in just 14 games) and holds the record for most 200-yard games (six). He led the league in rushing four times.

3.Emmitt Smith. When he retired in 2004 after 14 seasons, primarily with the Cowboys, the same precise footwork he displayed in winning “Dancing with the Stars” had earned him most of the NFL’s rushing records. These include most attempts (4,409), yards gained (18,355), 1,000-yard seasons (11), TDs (164), and 100-yard games (78). Enough?

4. Barry Sanders. He qualifies as the most electric runner in the history of professional football with his fast, snappy moves and curve balls. Before abruptly retiring (a la Brown) after just 10 seasons, he had set a record (he still holds) for most consecutive 100-yard games (14). He is second all-time in most 1,000-yard seasons (10) and third all-time (15,269).

5.Walter Payton. He held the most career records when he hung up his spikes in 1987, but they have since been broken. However, he still ranks second in rushing yards (16,726) and 100-yard games (77).

6. Gale Sayers. Until he suffered serious injuries to both knees, Sayers may have been even better than his Bears colleague, Payton. Three times he accomplished the incredible feat of scoring a rushing TD, a pass receiving TD and a kick return TD in one game.

7. Tony Dorset. He compiled 12,379 career rushing yards for him, second only to Payton at the time. He set the NFL record for the longest run from scrimmage…a 99-yard run.

8. LaDainian Tomlinson. He holds the record for most touchdowns in a season (28 in 2006) and has amassed five 200-yard rushing games. At 29 years old and hopefully has some mileage left on those wheels, he can increase his rank to third in career rushing touchdowns from him (115).

9. Frank Harris. He rushed for 1,000 yards nine seasons, but is best known for his quirky “Immaculate Receiving” in his rookie year of 1972. With the Steelers trailing the Raiders 7-6 in the playoffs with five seconds left, he caught a pass from Terry Bradshaw who had caromed off Oakland’s Jack Tatum’s shoulder pad and ran for the winning score.

10.Eric Dickerson. No one has surpassed the 2,105 yards he gained in 1984. He rushed for 10,000 yards faster than anyone … in just 91 games (Brown needed 98, Sanders 103, Smith 106).

Among today’s young running backs, the Vikings’ Adrian Peterson has a chance to break this list (he set a record last year when he gained 296 yards in a game, against a tough Chargers defense no less) as does, presumably, , rookie Darren McFadden. of the Raiders. Ask me again in 2018. Marcus Allen (second in most career TDs with 123), Earl Campbell (led the league in rushing three times), and John Riggins (rumbled for 11,352 career yards but oddly enough, won more yards after age 30 than before) are other guys to remember.

The cluck factor

What would we do if we couldn’t laugh at people and the things they do? I’m usually
He is not the type of person who sits down to talk about people. Ask my wife. I do not
believe in that. But this is a special occasion and there are those things that people
Do that just make me laugh like a fat chicken. If you didn’t find humor in these
the things of before, you will do them now.

Here is a list of 10 of the funniest things I’ve seen rated by my Cackle Rating
System. The Cackle Factor is calculated as follows: Volume of the initial roar (in decibels)
÷ Height of vertical jump (in inches) x Distance tripped across room (in feet) +
number of pats on the knee. It usually calculates a number less than 100. After that,
helps sprinkle in a pinch of goofiness as it brings out the essence of laughter for
its highest potential. We go.

Number 10: When a person has a cold or allergies, watch out when you blow your nose

Number 9: Only sports fans will appreciate this one. Have you ever seen

other superstars. These games are not organized as any type of test or anyone

stupid game. So he was able to laugh when Richard Jefferson of the New Jersey Nets

in the people with pride. The same concept applies during Pro Bowl weekend in
the NFL except they’re a little smarter in that they don’t allow non-NFL players
participate in these activities. But when it came time for the 40-yard dash (and the
unofficial title of “Fastest Man in the NFL”), the guys put on game faces and began
speaking as if what they were about to do really meant something to the rest of the
the world. What’s funnier is that the winner, Allen Rossum of the

Fantasy Football Rankings – Top 30 Quarterbacks

1. Drew Brees – New Orleans Saints

The Saints still can’t run the ball and their defense isn’t strong, which means Brees will be forced to throw big yards every game.

2. Peyton Manning-Denver Broncos

Denver plays a lot of easy defense and the Broncos have improved their passing body by signing Wes Welker in the offseason.

3. Tom Brady – New England Patriots

Everyone is worried about Welker leaving, Hernandez being arrested and Gronkowski being fired, but Brady wears scrubs year after year and makes them stars.

4. Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers

The Packers are going to struggle with their offensive line this year, but Green Bay can’t run the ball and Rodgers will be forced to pass a lot.

5. Matt Ryan – Atlanta Falcons

Last season was the first year Atlanta switched to a vertical passing attack and Ryan should be even better in Year 2.

6. Colin Kaepernick-San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers are going to rely on Kaepernick’s arm and legs this year and he’s one of the few QBs in the NFL who can stay healthy.

7. Robert Griffin III – Washington Redskins

Griffin III will put up big numbers as long as he can stay on the field, but one has to wonder how he will recover from knee surgery.

8. Eli Manning – New York Giants

A healthy Hakeem Nicks should be all Eli needs to bounce back into the top 10 fantasy quarterback rankings.

9. Cam Newton – Carolina Panthers

Newton is a much better fantasy quarterback than the NFL quarterback and should go back to rushing for yards and touchdowns while costing the Panthers victories with his turnovers.

10. Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions

The Lions lost Titus Young, which hurts, but Stafford still has Calvin Johnson for big plays.

11. Tony Romo – Dallas Cowboys

Dallas should be a better team on both sides of the ball this year and Romo will bump up the stats if you don’t mind high interceptions.

12. Sam Bradford – St. Louis Rams

St. Louis plans to spend a ton this year and they have plenty of young speedsters for Bradford to find openings.

13. Andrew Luck – Indianapolis Colts

Luck should have another strong year and you have to like the fact that the Colts play a lot of poor defenses.

14. Jay Cutler – Chicago Bears

Cutler and the Bears’ offense struggled last season, but the playmakers are still around and should bounce back.

15. Philip Rivers – San Diego Chargers

Rivers will need to pass to keep his team in games as the defense doesn’t look too good in San Diego this year.

16. Alex Smith – Kansas City Chiefs

I have Smith taller than most and it’s thanks to Andy Reid’s offense that has consistently produced great passing results in Philly.

17. Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh will be looking to set up the run more this year, making Roethlisberger more of a fantasy backup than a starter.

18. Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals

Dalton makes too many mistakes, but the Bengals have excellent pass receivers and this guy is also capable of running.

19. Joe Flacco – Baltimore Ravens

Flacco lost Boldin and now Dennis Pitta at tight end and will have more trouble without his more consistent weapons.

20. Carson Palmer – Arizona Cardinals

Getting out of Oakland and having Larry Fitzgerald to pass by should make Palmer a backup fantasy QB worth having this season.

21. Matt Flynn-Oakland Raiders

Flynn will have plenty of quick weapons to throw if the offensive line can hold him off long enough to look downfield.

22. Josh Freeman – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Freeman is in danger of losing his starting job and Doug Martin is the focal point of the offense, but this gunslinger could be in the top 15 if he’s not replaced.

23. Matt Schaub – Houston Texans

The Texans just don’t pass enough for Schaub to have more value, but he is a very consistent quarterback.

24. Jake Locker – Tennessee Titans

Locker will make mistakes, but he is capable of making plays with his legs, which helps to value his fantasy football.

25. Christian Ponder – Minnesota Vikings

Opposing defenses will focus on stopping the running game, which should open up the field for Ponder.

26. Michael Vick – Philadelphia Eagles

Vick has a chance to be taller, but there’s really no reason to believe he starts more than 8 games, since he’s not a smart quarterback and gets hurt regularly.

27. Brandon Weeden-Cleveland Browns

The Browns are a promising team and Weeden would be ranked higher if he didn’t have to face the Steelers and Ravens 4 times a year.

28. Mark Sanchez – New York Jets

The Jets won’t fare as well, but Sanchez should win the starting job and be a capable fantasy backup in the deep leagues.

29. Ryan Tannehill – Miami Dolphins

Miami is going to be terrible and Tannehill won’t have time to throw even with some nice new weapons available to him at wide receiver.

30. Blaine Gabbert – Jacksonville Jaguars

Gabbert has the arm strength, but he lacks the football smarts and many are losing hope that he will acquire them any time soon.

Can caffeine influence the sex of your baby?

There can be many reasons why a couple wants to choose the sex of their baby.

There may be reasons related to the health potential of the newborn, depending on the gender, or they may wish to have a small family and only want a boy and a girl.

Possibly, as in my case, you already have a tribe of boys only and would love to have a little girl to complete your family. Whatever the reason, it is very important to make sure that she will be extremely happy with her newborn, regardless of whether or not she gets the sex she is looking for.

There are many different techniques and theories for choosing the sex of your baby, and one is the effect of caffeine on conceiving a baby.

Now I must first stress that the caffeine theory of trying to choose the sex of your baby is aimed at the father – it is not recommended that a woman drink coffee or other high caffeinated beverages as this impedes female fertility.

Even just one or two cups a day are reported to reduce the chances of conception by 10 percent.

To conceive a boy, the egg must be fertilized by the ‘Y’ chromosome, which is faster and more active than the ‘X’ or girl chromosome. Even though both types will be revved up by the father taking caffeine before intercourse, it will give the boy’s sperm a show-off and a better chance of reaching the egg, as they normally tire quickly and don’t go the distance.

Studies have also shown that caffeine will, in fact, increase the rate of sperm production in men more than it will increase sperm production in women.

To apply this theory, the father should drink a couple of cups of strong coffee 15-30 minutes before having sex. If you don’t like to drink coffee, other forms of caffeine are fine, for example strong black tea.

Please note that a high-caffeine food or beverage is not recommended for long-term use.

This is just a little theory about how to choose the sex of your baby, and although no natural technique can guarantee you the sex of your choice, it is possible to increase your chances of planning the sex of your baby naturally and have up to a 90% chance. chances of having the sex of your choice.

Good luck!
