NBA Championship Betting: Celtics Vs. Lakers
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 6/2/2010
With a tip of the hat to Yogi Berra, it’s “deja vu all over again” as the 2010 NBA Championship is set to tip off. Just as they did two seasons ago, the storied Boston Celtics and LA Lakers will represent their respective conferences in this year’s NBA Final.

Remember when Tiger Woods used to be known for his golf game…and a few years ago he was locking down the golf grand slam in calendar year? Yeah, I barely do as well…. Tiger’s good friend and one of the greatest men’s tennis players ever, Roger Federer has an opportunity to grab an ATP grand slam.

The conference final got underway on Sunday with the Boston Celtics drawing first blood in a 92-88 victory — the Celtics also covered as a 6.5-point road underdog in the process.

NBA Odds: Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Trends
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 5/13/2010
Three teams are sitting pretty, waiting for the next round, while friends of Cleveland Cavalier fans are keeping them away from sharp objects and rooftops.

Early Surprises in 2010 MLB Season
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 5/3/2010
In the Big Apple, the New York Yankees are challenging for the American League East lead…that doesn’t fall into the “Surprising” category…but across town, the New York Mets are fighting the Philadelphia Phillies for the National League East division, which is. Yes, it’s still early, but they have had a decent start to the season.

NBA Playoff Picks
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 4/29/2010
Everything seems to be back to normal in La-La Land, at least for the time being. While many were beginning to jump off the Los Angeles Lakers’ bandwagon prior to Tuesday’s Game 5, Kobe Bryant didn’t seem concerned about blowing a 2-0 series lead to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 4/22/2010
The Lakers took Game 1 by a final of 87-79, barely covering the line online sportsbooks posted (they were 7.5-point favorites)…and they didn’t give their backers any cash in Game 2 either, as they failed to cover the 5.5-points, winning 95-92.

NFL Draft Order: Bet on It
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 4/21/2010
While the NFL has tweaked the format of its draft — the first round takes place on Thursday, the second to third on Friday and last four on Saturday — the basics remain the same and the worst team, the St. Louis Rams, will be selecting first. Oklahoma Sooners QB Sam Bradford is being touted by many as the first-selection overall and seeing as the Rams have released QB Marc Bulger, there seems to be logic to that.

Duke Vs. Butler Picks
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 4/5/2010
I’m kinda done with all the talk of Butler’s “improbable” run to the National Championship. This is a team that was ranked in the Top 10 in some pre-season polls and flirted with Top 10 rankings during the season. They are a very good team and have been all year.

Friday Sweet 16 Betting Odds
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 3/26/2010
Thursday night’s Sweet 16 schedule produced yet another upset, with Syracuse falling to Butler and Xavier came oh so close to upset number two, but fell 101-96 in double OT. That game no doubt launching a million “bad beat” type stories from bettors who backed Xavier as a 4.5 to 5-point underdog. It’s so discouraging when you have the right side – an underdog who plays it tight to very end – but you watch your ‘dog bet slip away in not one, but two overtimes.

Hard to say who the Colts would have preferred to face in their opening round playoff matchup, but I got a feeling they wouldn’t have minded avoiding the physical Ravens, who demolished the Patriots last weekend.

The Alabama Crimson Tide pulled off a tidy upset of the No. 1 Florida Gators last Saturday, moving into the Championship game.

The number of teams with a perfect record so far in the NFL season has been whittled down to two (three if you include the Tampa Bay Bucs, but they’re hardly bragging about theirs).

Tuesday Morning QB: A Bookie's View of the Week in Sports Betting
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 11/25/2008
Conventional wisdom in U.S. college football states that it is better to lose early in the season as opposed to later if you are a top-ranked team; the rational being, if you lose early you can slowly claw your way back up, but if you lose late, you could tumble into the non-BCS bowl abyss.

Public All Over Penn State this Weekend
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 10/24/2008
When the final gun goes off in Columbus this Saturday the betting public will be hoping Penn State is still perfect…a perfect 7-0 against the spread.

U.S. Open Betting – Tiger Is Tops
by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 06/11/2008
It wasn't unrealistic for Tiger Woods to believe he had a legitimate shot at the Grand Slam in 2008 before the start of the Masters at Augusta. But the best golfer in the world stumbled in the first major, putting an early damper on the Grand Slam talk…and then he had knee surgery. So exactly what Tiger Woods will do after teeing-off this week at the US Open is an interesting question.

We start looking forward to zone blitzes, enthralling Belichick press conferences, TO meltdowns (wait, it will happen this year), Raider victories (hee…hee, just kidding), around mid-March.

by SPORTSBETTING.COM - 11/28/2007
Brett Favre is one of the best to ever play the game, no question about it. He set another Green Bay record on Thanksgiving in the Packers' 37-26 triumph over the Detroit Lions by recording 20-straight completions (besting the previous mark of 18). It came as quite a surprise to the announcers that Favre didn't already posses the record to start with.
