Karl Malone Hall of Fame

The NBA just recently announced the induction of Karl Malone into the NBA Hall of Fame. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is located in Springfield Massachusetts. In his career, Karl Malone, scored 36,928 points and pulled down 14,968 rebounds during his impressive 19-year playing career. If it wasn’t for Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, Karl Malone would have won a few championships too. Also, if Kobe Bryant would have not played like a spoiled brat, Karl Malone could have won a championship with the Lakers too.

NBA News

Other NBA Hall of Fame inductees include Scottie Pippen who has recently been trying to make his way back into the NBA as a player. In addition to lame attempts by Pippen to join an NBA team, Pippen was recently caught trying to make a bet with Nick VanGundy that the Miami Heat would not even win 72 games this upcoming NBA season. As you can imagine, these types of negative haven’t won Pippen many points by current NBA players.

Kerry Wood Traded to Yankees

Kerry Wood, not to be confused with Carrie Underwood who is currently shooting a movie based on Women’s Softball, has been traded to the New York Yankees from the Cleveland Indians. The Indians have until October 15th to decide whether they want $500,000 or a player to be named later for Wood. Kerry Wood is a right handed 33 year old pitcher known for his quiet temperament and fastball. Kerry Wood is currently getting paid $10.5 Million a season, however he has recently been sidelined due to a blister on his right-hand index finger. Reports have yet to confirm whether the injury was sports related.

New York Yankees Betting Odds

The Kerry Wood trade marks the 3rd deal done by the Yankees in less than 24 hours which clearly shows that the Yankees are looking to make another run for the World Series championship. The Yankees are currently sitting at +185 betting odds to win the World Series as found at the Bodog.com online sportsbook.

UFC Online Betting

These days it is not likely that we can look forward to a fight that has two equally matched heavyweight contenders; however this upcoming UFC 116 will be different. Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin are due to battle on July 3rd and online sportsbooks are predicting this to be one of the most watched heavyweight fights since Tyson and Holyfield. UFC betting lines have already been posted.

UFC Betting Odds

Although Brock Lesnar is much taller than Shane Carwin, Carwin has one full glove size bigger hands which he has used to knockout his last 12 opponents all in the first round. Carwin goes into this bout as the underdog, even though he is undefeated lifetime. Online sportsbooks currently have Carwin at +150 betting odds, whereas Brock Lesnar is currently the favorite at -135 betting odds. Although Carwin goes into this match as the more experienced fighter, there is no denying Lesnar’s size and speed which is a combination of attributes that we have not seen in heavyweight UFC fighters in quite some time.

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’.

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.
