UFC Betting – Jon “Bones” Jones Should Roll At UFC 100

Like last year, just three teams make up the INDEPENDENTS, yet all three will have a strong say on the participants in the 2009 National Championship BCS game when they take on no less than 20 combined opponents that landed bowl bids last season.

Rest assured, without a conference affiliation, this self-governing group holds plenty of veto power when it comes to dashing the dreams of many BCS Championship Game aspirants.

View from the Couch – 2009 Tour De France

The Great Hate

Ready to bet on this years 2009 Tour De France?? Join betED. (Click Here betED Sportsbook Review)

It’s been four years since Lance Armstrong last dominated the Tour de France and there are still a whole bunch of folks who are very, very pissed.

The people who run the Tour are openly calling Armstrong a disgrace. He’s going to be greeted in France with not one but two books on the bestseller list on how his reign as the dominating cyclist of all time was a drug-induced sham. The drug testers are all over him shadowing him wherever he goes, sample bottles extended.  And due to that, Armstrong himself is angry because he hasn’t had a quiet pee in months.

NFL: Will The Patriots Rise Again?

It wasn’t that long ago that the New England Patriots were a near surefire bet.

The sportsbooks couldn’t put up a number high enough on them as they steamrolled their way to a perfect 8-0 straight up and 8-0 ATS mark through the first half of the 2007 season.

And while Tom Brady and crew continued on chasing the perfect season in the second half, the tide turned for the sports betting community, as a combination of sky-high pointspreads and opposing team’s ability to somewhat gameplan for them, kept things closer. The result was an 8-0 run straight up, but only a 2-6 mark against the spread.

Betting and Hot Dogs

What’s July 4th without a hot dog or two….or 60, as it will be for Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi in the 94th annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Hey, I grabbed a bacon and cheese dog from a vendor yesterday and loved it, but I couldn’t imagine eating five dozen of them in the next year, let alone in a 10-minute time span. But that’s why we leave it to the professional eaters.
