Chris Paul Staying Put in New Orleans

Just when you thought Lebron James, “The Decision” was over; now rumors are speculating that it’s still having ripple effects on other NBA players as well, including New Orleans Hornets Guard, Chris Paul.

Just a few days after Lebron James’ public decision to sign with the Miami Heat, Chris Paul fired his agent and hired Leon Rose, who is coincidently also Lebron James’ agent. Once Paul hired Rose, rumors surfaced that Paul wanted a trade, even though he has two more years remaining with the New Orleans Hornets. As you can imagine the Hornets, just like the Cavaliers, would be rattled if the face of their franchise departed. This is why the Hornets held an emergency meeting with Paul on Monday to discuss their future.

New Orleans Hornets Betting Odds

With Paul staying put, the New Orleans Hornets are currently favored at 40/1 betting odds to win the NBA Finals next season. Unfortunately the only way Paul will stay in New Orleans is if the ownership brings talented players to him that can help Paul win on any given night. Whether the Hornets go through with their promise to Paul of bringing in talented players to play with him remains to be unseen. We’ll find out soon enough though!

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’.

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.

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.
