Allen Iverson isn’t the only one going through tough times; the Los Angeles Lakers have now lost three in a row for the first time since January of 2008 and a fourth could prove to be unfathomable for bettors. The Lakers draw the most basketball betting action at Bodog and although a few losses will not force many fans to bail on Kobe Bryant, it may open a few eyes to some of the other NBA teams making a run for the playoffs.

Super Bowl Recap from a Bookie
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 2/9/2010

History was made on Super Bowl Sunday and I know I can’t speak for every football fan or online sportsbook when I say this, but it sure was fun to watch. From start to finish, you knew that this was going to be one of those unforgettable games. I’m not at all surprised that 106.5 million viewers tuned in watch the New Orleans Saints defeat the Indianapolis Colts (by a score of 31-17) to take their first Super Bowl title and break the 1983 record held by the season finale of “M*A*S*H” and become the most-watched television program in the history of American broadcasting.

by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 2/2/2010

Media day is one of those time-honored Super Bowl traditions that the coaches and players dread, but one that football bettors, reporters, broadcasters, photographers, and TV crews look forward to most. If you can get past the circus-like feel to media day, the interviews are a great way to find out how the teams look and possibly gain some insight into Sunday's big game.

Bookmaker’s Corner: Recent Super Bowl Classics
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 1/26/2010

The Indianapolis Colts opened as 6-point favorites over the New Orleans Saints, with a total of 56.5. The early action was on Indianapolis, although it wasn’t a landslide by any means. The Colts are certainly deserved favorites, what with the fact they’ve won every game they’ve tried to win this season. But the inspirational Saints are no slouches, and they’ll undoubtedly receive the lion’s share of the support from the fans in Miami.

Bookmaker’s Corner: AFC & NFC Championships Recap
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 1/26/2010

While some fans may disagree, over at Bodog’s online sportsbook we’re inclined to think that the first couple of weekends of the NFL playoffs gave us more stinkers than classics. But last weekend? That was something else. The AFC and NFC Championships delivered big time in entertainment.

Before I dive into next weekend’s NFC Championship odds between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints, I want to take a quick look back at what transpired last weekend during the NFL’s divisional round… How about those Saints?

The New York Jets are off to the AFC Championship where they’ll meet up with the Indianapolis Colts in Indianapolis. So it’s Mark Sanchez vs. Peyton Manning, is it? I don’t know about the rest of you, but this is not exactly the matchup I envisioned when we set our odds to win the AFC Championship.

Bookmaker’s Corner: NFL Football Betting Lines: Are Wild Cards Indeed
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 1/13/2010

The NFL’s wild card weekend was a good one for Bodog Sportsbook’s NFL football betting lines. Unfortunately for most of our players it wasn’t very good at all. Bodog Sportsbook had big wins on both the New York Jets’ victory over the Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens’ upset of the New England Patriots. And the players had a big win with the Cowboys as Dallas beat the Philadelphia Eagles quite handily.

Bookmaker’s Corner: College Football Betting Season in Review
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 1/13/2010

The 2009-10 college football betting season started off great, but then ended on a not-so-great note for us over at Bodog Sportsbook. We saw a late flood of money come in on Alabama, which moved the number from -4 to -5, and we paid the price. Crimson Tide fans, on the other hand, had to be pleased with the way Alabama finished off the season; beating Texas 37-21 in the BCS National Championship Game is about as good as it gets.

Bookmaker’s Corner: BCS National Championship Game Betting
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 1/5/2010

Oddsmakers would have you believe that the Texas Longhorns are gaining ground on the Alabama Crimson Tide. In early December, the Longhorns were getting as many as six points at a few online books. Now you’ll be hard-pressed to find +4.5 as Thursday’s BCS National Championship Game draws near.

by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 12/23/2009

Over at Bodog Sportsbook the New England Patriots started out as seven-point favorites over the Buffalo Bills before the number was bet up to 7.5. Of course, the Pats ended up winning by a touchdown, leaving the early birds with a push and those late to the party with a loss. If you waited too long for those opening lines then chances are you learned a valuable lesson.

The Indianapolis Colts (13-0) clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with their big win over Denver last week. There are only three weeks left. As Bodog’s Sportsbook Manager, I have to wonder just how hard they will try to win those games. Will they rest their starters?

Bookmaker’s Corner: Big Questions for Big Ben
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 12/9/2009

The defending Super Bowl champions have lost four straight and were recently belittled by the Oakland Raiders at home. How much more patience will NFL bettors show with the Pittsburgh Steelers? That’s the big question we’re wondering at Bodog as we set the lines for Week 14.

by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 12/9/2009

The 2009-10 college football bowl matchups have been set and the betting can begin. Obviously, we expect to see the largest handle at Bodog on the BCS National Championship Game between Alabama and Texas. The Tide has been favored from anywhere between 3.5 and 6 points at various books since the game was announced, with the majority of early action on the side that looked extremely impressive in hammering Florida in the SEC title game.

Bookmaker’s Corner: NFL Week 13 Odds
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 12/1/2009

The Indianapolis Colts, who moved to 11-0 with a 35-27 come-from-behind victory in Houston, should result in some pretty solid support for Peyton Manning and company, but we expect that support to be tested in Week 13 when Tennessee comes to town.

Bookmaker’s Corner: SEC Championship and Civil War Betting
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 12/1/2009

This Thursday the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers meet at Autzen Stadium for a trip to the Rose Bowl. Also known as the Civil War, this rivalry dates back to 1894 and even though it’s been played 112 times, there has never been more on the line.

by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 11/24/2009

Online football bettors who got in on the Colts early were rewarded, as were those who waited for the right number on the Ravens. That’s because the Colts opened at -1 and quickly received heavy action, pushing the line to -1.5, then -2, then all the way up to -2.5 before temporarily moving back to -2 and finally closing at -2.5.

Bookmaker’s Corner: Week 11 NFL Football Betting
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 11/17/2009

The St. Louis Rams kept it close with the Saints, which means the Saints have failed to cover their last three games, all of them double-digit numbers, after winning six straight spreads to start the season. In fact, the Saints have seen their point total fall in four consecutive weeks since putting up 48 versus the Giants on Oct. 18.

by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 11/4/2009

Bookmaker’s Corner: Are You Still Betting on Ranked Teams?
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 10/20/2009

When it comes to college football betting, a lot of football betting fans prefer to tackle the ranked teams, as opposed to the non-ranking teams. It’s easy to understand why, but in no way am I suggesting this is the easy route to online sports betting success.

by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 10/13/2009

You have to know that bettors are thoroughly enjoying the play they’re getting from Peyton Manning and the boys over in Indianapolis.

The first weekend of college football is in the books, and what did we learn? Well, good luck finding a better game in all of 2009 than the Miami-Florida State thriller on Labor Day night.
