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.

Lakers Sports Betting Online

Michael Vick gets sentenced 2 years for dog fighting; Ron Artest gets his own magazine ad for encouraging the removal of dog testicles, what a strange world we live in.

Ron Artest: Lakers Savior

He may not be a sandwich artist, but he is a Ron Artest. Artest went from drinking Hennessey during halftime a couple of seasons ago with the Pacers, to now being one of the strongest players on the LA Lakers roster. Ron Artest was the sole reason that the Lakers won both games 5 and 6 over the Phoenix Suns. Although deep down the Lakers will eventually live or die on the shoulders of Kobe Bryant, they currently have Artest to thank for getting them to the NBA Championship Finals.

NBA Finals Betting

Now that the teams are set, all we need to know who to bet on to win the NBA championship between the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics. Since the Boston Celtics are currently going through a tirade of injuries, the LA Lakers are favored to win this series. Game 1 will be held Thursday, June 3rd and the Lakers are currently favored by -5 points at most online sportsbooks. If you are looking to get in on some online betting action, I would bet on the Lakers to cover the -5 point spread this Thursday.

NBA Sidelines

Look at this brotherly love…literally. Recent news reports by credible news reporters (TMZ) have revealed a sexual relationship between Lebron James’s mother and Lebron’s teammate, Delonte West.

It turns out Lebron received word of his mother and soon to be step brother/father knocking boots during the 2nd round of this years NBA playoffs against the Boston Celtics. If you recall last year’s series between Lebron James and the Boston Celtics, Lebrons mother leaped from the sidelines to attack Paul Pierce after he gave Lebron a hard foul. Of course Lebron and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers went on to make an earlier than expected exit from the NBA playoffs and many blamed the loss due to a lack of focus from King James.

Lebron James’s Kryptonite

From last year’s sideline one-on-one battle against Paul Pierce, to this year’s rumored one-on-one breastfeeding of Delonte West, it seems as if the only one that can stop King James is his mother.

Lebron, if you are reading this I have some advice for you. I never used to let my mom come to my Tee-Ball games because I couldn’t play with her watching me, maybe you should try the same.

And you thought your mom was too involved in your life!

NBA Betting Magic

No this man is not suffering from IBS, Jameer Nelson of the Orlando Magic is just ecstatic that his team has found a way to stay in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics.

In game #4 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals the Orlando Magic held off elimination against Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics, pushing this series to a game #5.

NBA Finals Betting

Although both the Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic have showed a little magic in extending their NBA playoff series, many online betting handicappers agree that they will not advance into the NBA Championship Finals.

The majority of online betting players are expecting a LA Lakers and Boston Celtics final. For obvious reasons online betting odds have not yet been posted for the NBA finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, but if I had to bet on the finals, I would bet on the Boston Celtics winning the NBA Finals!

Blackhawks Sweep the Leg of the Sharks

Okay maybe this series is not over yet, but the Blackhawks are up 3-0, game #4 has the Blackhawks playing at home, and the Sharks look like fish out of water…get it?

If the Chicago Blackhawks take game 4, this will be the first time since 1992 that they went to the Stanley Cup finals. The last time the Blackhawks won Lord Stanley’s Cup was in 1961. If you are a betting man, look for the Blackhawks to sweep the leg of the Sharks like Johnny from Karate Kid.

NHL Online Betting

Whether you follow this ice sport or not, now is the time to jump aboard the online betting bandwagon that is NHL betting. Because NHL games are not heavily bet on, the betting lines are usually pretty even and the puck line or point spread is usually 1.5 goals which most close games that do not go into overtime usually end in.

Although the NHL conference final series are not over yet, I’m picking the Flyers & Blackhawks to move into the next round. I’m also betting on the Blackhawks to take the Stanley Cup in 6 games, you can bet on it!

World Cup Online Betting

Whether you call it soccer or football, everybody becomes a fan of the game during the World Cup. This year’s FIFA World Cup will be in South Africa and is promising to be one of the best FIFA World Cups to date.

I am by no means a huge soccer/football fan, nor can I name any football player other than Pelle, Maradonna and Beckam, but I do know that the FIFA World Cup is great for online betting.

FIFA World Cup Online Betting

Sometimes not knowing exactly who the favorites are or what exactly is going on in games can be an advantage in online betting because it forces you to place your wagers based on what you think is a good betting line, not clouding your judgment with emotions.

If you want to make some good money betting online this year, stay tuned in to FIFA 2010 World Cup Betting which will commence on the 11th of June and end July 11th.

Here’s one of the best online betting tips you will receive all year, there are a lot of “draws” in soccer games so do not be afraid to throw some money down on a “draw” for a couple of games during the FIFA 2010 World Cup.

NBA Basketball Playoffs

Instead of the NBA playoffs they should call this year’s NBA post-season action the “Kobe Bryant Clinics”, because Bryant is treating the competition like they have Swine flu!

In the third round of this year’s NBA playoffs against Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns, Kobe Bryant is taking further advantage of his prey than he did with the infamous Colorado hotel concierge a couple of years ago.

This time it may be the Suns saying it was consensual after the fact, but we know the truth!

Kobe Bryant’s Heroics

Kobe Bryant is looking like a 1-man team in this years NBA playoffs and if you have been betting online you may be aware that Bryant has been covering the betting odds point spread every time!

Game 3 between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Rapers is tomorrow and I strongly suggest you find yourself an online sportsbook like the Bodog Online Sportsbook to bet on this NBA playoff game. Our pick, take the Lakers with the point spread!
