Lebron James – Destination Unknown

It’s almost as if Lebron James of the soon to be ‘former’ Cleveland Cavaliers has boarded a flight operated by Northwest Airlines with the same two pilots who fell asleep at the controls, because nobody has any idea where James is going to land next NBA betting season.

Any online betting player who can sit there and tell you they know with certainty where Lebron James will be playing basketball next year is talking out of their arse. I wouldn’t be surprised if even Lebron James didn’t know where he wanted to sign next year.

Betting Online Predictions

Only Dion Warwick’s psychic hotline can truly predict the exact team Lebron James will play for next NBA season, however I feel that I can narrow it down to at least 2 NBA teams.

Chicago Bulls – Online betting insiders are predicting that James will sign with the Chicago Bulls who currently have a great supporting cast, but no identity. Rumors have also been speculated that Phil Jackson will also join James in Chicago as their head coach.

Miami Heat – Many online sportsbooks are betting that Lebron and Chris Bosh will both sign with the Miami Heat and join Dwayne Wade next year at hopes of bringing home a NBA Finals championship.

World Cup Online Betting

Admittedly I did not start following this 2010 World Cup online betting until just a few days ago when the games started to heat up, and teams actually started to score some goals; making betting on the World Cup a lot easier and more fun for me.

Online Betting Odds

Currently Brazil and Argentina are favored as betting favorites to win the 2010 World Cup. Betting odds for Brazil to win the World Cup are currently set at 5/2 and betting odds on Argentina winning the 2010 World Cup are currently set at 15/4.

If you haven’t jumped aboard the online betting bandwagon, now’s the time to start because picking World Cup winners now is a lot easier than betting on any other sport. Basically all you need to do is find a great online sportsbook like Bodog, create an account, and then just look for two teams that are favored to win the World Cup, and then make a parlay wager on both of them to won their opening round games. Online etting is actually just that easy!

NHL Free Agency Online Betting

Unfortunately July 1st only comes once a year, because it has to be the most anticipated day of both the NHL and NBA betting offseason. I’ve previously articled the melee surrounding NBA free agents Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, but the NHL has just as many superstars looking for new homes as of July 1st.

As of July 1st, there are a couple of big name NHL players who I am following really closely that will be game changers next NHL betting season.

Online Sports Betting

Ilya Kovalchuk would be a great addition to any team. In recent years as Ilya Kovalchuk has gotten older, he has matured quite well but his offensive talents have not diminished one bit. Currently the LA Kings are looking like heavy online betting favorites to sign Kovalchuk.

Dan Hamuis is currently being rumored to sign with the Vancouver Canucks who are in dire need of a solid defenseman. The Canucks poor defense caused by key injuries cost them big in last year’s online betting playoffs; leaving their defense opening wider than Brittney Spears.


In any case whatever happens, remember to place all your online sports betting picks at Sportsbook.com where betting is fun and easy!

USA Gets Knocked Out of World Cup

For all of our USA online betting visitors we have a bit of sad news to report today. The Cinderella story of Team USA advancing to the 2010 World Cup finals has come to an end today at the hands of Ghana and if you placed your bets online for Team USA to win the World Cup, you lost your bet.

Not to fear though, tomorrow is another day, and another day means more online betting.

World Cup Online Betting

Tomorrow we have two World Cup games scheduled. Germany will play England in the first game, and then Argentina faces Mexico in game #2.

Online sportsbooks currently have both England and Argentina favored by 1 ½ points so my online betting pick would be to make a parlay bet on England and Argentina for World Cup betting action. Check out the Bodog online sportsbook for current live betting lines for these games and you can start making a killing on online sports betting from this moment on.

NBA Free Agent Frenzy

Although the Los Angeles won the NBA Championship last week, buzz surrounding the NBA has not died down as of yet because of the free agent frenzy going on.

Some of the currently biggest names in the NBA; Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Tracy McGrady, and Phil Jackson are all unrestricted free agents and as of July 1st they are all expected to shuffle teams. Many online sportsbooks are speculating that James, Wade and Bosh might find each other playing on the same team so they can give the Lakers a run next season.

Online Betting Previews

Although many online sportsbooks have already posted future betting lines for team odds to win the NBA championship next year, these online betting odds will drastically change in the coming weeks after the NBA’s biggest free agents sign to different teams. Tracy McGrady has just announced that he would like to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers who are just coming off their second NBA championship in as many years. If these rumors are true, the Lakers are sure to be the heavy favorites to win the NBA finals again next year.

MLB Online Betting

Are the Detroit Tigers still a professional MLB team? It would appear so after the season that Miguel Cabrera (Seen on the left), Magglio Ordonez and Brennan Boesch are having for the once abysmal baseball team. The Detroit Tigers this MLB online betting season have repeatedly covered the betting point spread when favored by 2-3 runs because online sportsbooks cannot account for the Tigers top 3 batters who are having great seasons and putting MLB fans back in their seats in Detroit.

Point Spread Betting

Often when reading matchups before betting on games, you might notice such stats as SU and ATS stats. Both of these betting terms refer to point spread betting. SU (Straight Up) and ATS (Against the spread) commonly predict score patterns that will help you with your online betting. This MLB season, the Detroit Tigers are winning a lot of their games ATS which means big money for online betting players. If you are looking to cash in your bets, check out the SBG Global online sportsbook and bet ATS on the Tigers this season.

World Cup Online Betting

No that is not legendary film actor Morgan Freeman holding the FIFA World Cup championship trophy, it is however former South Africa President, revolutionary and gentle soul, Nelson Mandela.

This year the 2010 World Cup trophy can pretty much go to any team that can manage to score at least 2 goals as there have been more ‘Draws’ in the 2010 World Cup betting than in previous years which is making it difficult for online betting players to pick winning bets.

Online Sports Betting

In online betting it is hard enough to bet on the spread trying to pick the correct score, let alone picking a ‘Tie’ or ‘Draw’. At first glance you might think it is impossible to bet on ‘Draw’s and still win your bets, but it is easier than you might think.

Every game has betting odds on the point spread, moneyline and over/under totals. With soccer, or Euro Football, the moneyline betting option gives you 3 scenarios. Often in the games that are settled as ‘Draws’, those games would have increased betting odds on the ‘Draw’ moneyline than you would see for the other options. Of course this moneyline would not payout as high as the other betting lines, but at least you know there is a good chance that this game is going to be settled as a ‘Draw’.

Check out the Bodog Online Sportsbook for live betting odds and you can test this betting strategy out for yourself and start winning your bets now.

Robinson Cano Comes Through for the Yankees

Between the 2010 World Cup and NBA Finals online betting, a lot of people have forgotten about Major League Baseball, and that is just the way Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees likes it.

If you don’t know who Cano is, get ready to start hearing a lot more of him during the rest of the MLB season. Cano, 2nd baseman of the New York Yankees, is currently sporting a .371 batting average and many are comparing his batting style to that of Derek Jeter. With a team that has such big name superstars as Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, the media often forgets about Cano, but statisticians cannot.

MLB Online Betting

Tuesday, June 15th the New York Yankees face the Cleveland Indians in Cleveland, Ohio. Point spread betting currently has the Yankees favored by -3 runs at -110, and the Moneyline betting odds on Cano and the Yankees are currently at -150. If you want to make some quick money, take the Yankees on the moneyline and if you don’t have an online sports betting account yet, check out the Bodog online sportsbook and receive an instant 10% signup bonus when you join.

Celtics Take 3-2 Series Lead

If you missed game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, you missed one heck of a highlight packed game! *** Spoiler Alert ***, all the Celtics players came out to play tonight, Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Rondo, Davis, and Robinson. I could pretty much name the whole Celtics team, because everyone got in on the action, however unfortunately I cannot say the same for the Lakers.

NBA Finals Game 6 Betting

At this point I don’t think there is any fan, coach or owner angrier that Kobe Bryant after Game 5 and now leading up to Game 6. Kobe Bryant had an impressive 38 points in the Lakers Game 5 loss with no help from his teammates, big surprise there.

After a day off, and a well deserved shellacking from Phil Jackson, expect the Lakers to come out strong in Game 6 of the NBA finals. Online sportsbooks currently have the Lakers favored by -3 points for Game 6. I would take the Lakers on the point spread with the 3 points.

NBA Finals Betting

The NBA Finals are taking an extra day off today and game #5 of the NBA Finals will be played tomorrow, Sunday, June 13th, 2010. The series is currently tied at 2 games a piece, with game #5 being played in Boston.

As much as I want the Boston Celtics to win, the above picture sums up Kobe Bryant’s reply to that. Kobe Bryant may be a cocky, arrogant, ball hog of a player, but you cannot doubt his intensity and there is not one single player in the NBA that can match his drive to win the NBA championships.

NBA Betting Lines

Online sportsbooks such as Bodog currently have the Boston Celtics favored by +3 points (-105). I would take the Lakers at +3 points (-115) because I don’t believe Bryant is going to go back to LA without a 3-2 series lead.

Bodog also has the Over/Under totals at 188 points, which indicates that online betting experts are predicting this to be a low scoring game which I would have to agree with.

Regardless of what happens, this game is going to be a lot more interesting than any World Cup game tomorrow!

2010 World Cup Betting

Lately it seems like World Cup betting is all the rage and everybody and their mother has their own odds on favorite of who is going to win the 2010 World Cup.

There are currently 8 groups (A-H) that make up the 32 nations participating in the 2010 World Cup. Each group has a heavy favorite to advance from their group; however the rankings between the top 3 teams in the tournament (Brazil, Spain and Argentina) are so close that it is extremely difficult to predict a 2010 World Cup champion.

World Cup Betting Predictions

Although it is difficult to pick the winner of the 2010 World Cup, I didn’t say it was impossible. If you are looking to bet on a long shot with a big pay day that has the potential to upset a few teams, then you want to bet on Team USA, who are currently favored at 50/1 to win the World Cup.

If you are looking to bet on the team that has the best chance of winning, you should bet online for Team Brazil, who are currently favored at 4/1 and have the best looking fans by far.

Whether you are betting online with your heart, or brain, make sure you check out the Bodog online sportsbook which is currently offering new players an instant 10% signup bonus.

NBA Playoff Betting

Boston Celtics head coach, Doc Rivers, is not the only one getting shocked by the play of Glen “Big Baby” Davis, and by shock we are not referring to a static electricity shot as seen in the above photo.

The play of the Boston Celtic’s benchwarmers may not come as a shock if you have been following them all season, but to the rest of us, including the LA Lakers, their play came as a big surprise. Glen Davis, Rasheed Wallace and Nate Robinson have all come off the bench and scored key points and had key defensive stops against the Lakers which sprung the Boston Celtics to a dominating game #2 NBA Finals victory.

NBA Finals Betting

I’m on quite the little hot streak for online betting; picking the Celtics last game but I don’t know how long this is going to last for so I suggest you jump aboard!

Game #3 of the NBA Finals will be played in Boston and the Celtics are currently favored by 2.5 points over the LA Lakers. Tomorrow's game is a tough game to bet on because I am sure that Kobe Bryant is going to have a 40 plus point game but sometimes when Kobe plays too good, his teammates play that much worse. If you have a few bucks and have an account at the Bodog online sportsbook, I would bet on the Boston Celtics to cover the -2.5 pointspread.

NHL Playoffs Betting Online

If the Philadelphia Flyers go on to win this year’s NHL Stanley Cup, they will almost certainly have to bold Chris Pronger’s name on it when they engrave players names. Pronger has been much more than just a thorn in the side of the Chicago Blackhawks. From stealing game winning pucks after games #1 and #2, to constantly slashing any Blackhawks player trying to go to the front of the Flyers net minder, Pronger has been the one constant on the Flyers that has brought them back from a 2-0 game deficit in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.

Stanley Cup Finals Betting

Now that the Flyers have come back to tie this series up at 2 a piece, game #5 goes back to Chicago, also known as the Madhouse On Madison Avenue. Simply put, the Blackhawks are a different team at home; they are stronger, faster and more confident. Currently online sportsbooks have the Chicago Blackhawks as -1.5 point favorites at +160. This means that if the Chicago Blackhawks win by 2 or more goals and you bet $100, you would make a profit of $160 plus your $100 wager amount. In my eyes, this is a good online bet to make!

Lakers Celtics Online Betting

So far in these NBA playoffs the Lakers have been giving it to the Celtics from behind as seen in the above picture. The Lakers looked unbeatable in Game #1 of the NBA Finals and if you were man enough to bet online for the LA Lakers at -5 point favorites against the Celtics, you would have made yourself a pretty little penny betting online.

NBA Finals Betting

Tomorrow’s game #2 of the NBA Finals takes place in Los Angeles and the Lakers are currently -6 point betting favorites as found the Bodog online sportsbook. After the shellacking the Lakers gave the Celtics in game #1 of the NBA playoffs, I would expect a much stronger effort from the Celtics.

Before you bet online for this game you have to keep in mind that both Garnett and Allen played horrible in game #1 so the game looked far worse than it actually was. Expect big games from the top 3 Celtics; Pierce, Allen and Garnett. Taking this into consideration, I would bet on the Celtics to cover the +6 point spread for this NBA online betting wager.

Flyers Finally Win

By the looks of this picture you might think that the Philadelphia Flyers have already won the Stanley Cup and have an erection lasting longer than 6-8 hours. If you thought this then you would be wrong, but the Flyers did manage to win a very important game in their series with the Chicago Blackhawks coming from behind to win 4-3 in overtime. The Blackhawks currently lead the Stanley Cup Finals 2 games to 1 with game 4 being played in Philadelphia.

Online Sports Betting

Although the Flyers have finally managed to win 1 game, they are still fighting an uphill battle against injuries right now which makes their comeback look doubtful. If I were an online betting man, who I proudly am, I would bet on the Flyers to win game 4 in Philadelphia, but lose games 5 and 6 to the Chicago Blackhawks. I apologize for my grim outlook for any Flyers fans reading this, but you have to always remember to bet with your mind, not your heart!

Ken Griffey Jr. Retires

One of the greatest to ever play baseball is hanging up his cleats and retiring from major league baseball. If this was any other player in professional sports I would say he was hanging up his steroid needles instead of cleats, but this was not the case in the Griffey family. Both Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr. played with a level of class and sportsmanship that raised the bar for every player in professional sports.

Griffey Jr. was drafted #1 overall in the 1987 draft and had the rare opportunity to not only play in the same era as his father; they also got to play on the same team together. In one very special game, father and son also hit back-to-back homeruns which I don’t see ever happening again in our lifetime.

MLB Online Betting

With the loss of Ken Griffey Jr. and plummeting ticket sales, the future does not look too bright for the Seattle Mariners. You can mark this season up as a rebuilding year for the Mariners and when you find yourself with a hankering for MLB online betting, I would bet on Mariners games where they are at home and less than a 3 point underdogs or the favorite by 2 runs at the most with pointspread online betting.
