Wheels In Nature, or WIN, brings children and adults in wheelchairs together with those who aren't through muscle powered outdoor adventures. Each summer, WIN conducts youth camps in kayaking, wheelchair court sports and racing, sailing, fishing, hand cycling, and a special Arts In Nature Day. Longer outings include day trips to wildlife refuges and overnight campouts in some of Oregon's national forests.

Funding for WWS is provided through membership and entry fees, donations, and grants. Members come from many different backgrounds and levels of disability. Hansen, who became a quadriplegic following a snow skiing accident, thought his athletic days were over until he was able to acquire one of first lightweight aluminum sports chairs to be mass-produced in U.S.

"That chair got me into road races and track meets, and was first of many equipment upgrades," he says.

Some participants are older people who suffered a stroke or severe arthritis, while others were born with disabling conditions that left them paraplegics or double amputees. But thanks to programs of World Wheelchair Sports, these individuals can experience thrill of athletic competition, or freedom to enjoy recreational activities in a more relaxed environment. The chance to share these experiences with those who are not in a wheelchair gives them an even greater feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Think about it - would you go to a store and by a broom for $20.00 when you can buy it for $10.00 at an equally close location?

Or if you were purchasing stocks or shares - would you simply buy stock, or first consider stock's price - factoring in price/ratio, moving averages, historical data and economic outlook?

It boils down to - "not paying more for a product than that product is worth."

When I look at a bet - I have a rough idea in my head of what odds should be. If price quoted by sportsbook is sufficiently above that estimation in percentage terms - then I will go ahead and bet on event.

I will not win every bet, especially on underdog plays - but in long run I know that if I go with value - then I will come out on top.

The best advice that I can offer to those starting out in sports betting is to "stick with what you know". If you have a team that you follow and already know well - then you are, in a sense, already a "mini expert".

Have fun!
