As football season fast approaches, I have made it my mission this year is to repeat my 2003 season prowess where I won the Ultimate Handicapping Challenge with a 69% ATS NFL record, and finished the College season at 68% ATS…
I finished 1st and 2nd respectfully in those 2 sports.
While those are lofty numbers, I accept that challenge personally this year and look forward to large profits, as 17 years of experience have taught me much.
Home Run Derby betting is the hot play of the week before British Open betting gets underway on Thursday, and Monday’s Home Run Derby is always one of the most anticipated events of the Midseason Classic. Offshore sportsbook odds are favoring St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols and Philadelphia’s Ryan Howard to take over the crown won by Minnesota’s Justin Morneau in 2008.
The Big 12 is spewing confidence.
Texas coach Mack Brown and Nebraska AD Tom Osborne claim their conference is top to bottom as competitive as the mighty SEC.
Whatever.
With about a month to go before the NFL preseason kicks off some teams are still trying to figure out the face of their franchise. There are numerous clubs juggling quarterbacks heading into training camp . . .
We’ve got a pair of great MLB matchups this week along with a big MMA event and an NFL prop bet. In MLB on Friday, the Chicago White Sox open a three-game set against the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome, and the New York Yankees open a three-gamer against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium.
Non-divisional AL baseball betting action takes center stage at Bookmaker Sportsbook on Wednesday night when the red hot New York Yankees (49-34, -$295) lock horns with the Minnesota Twins (43-41, -$142) for the second of the teams three-game MLB betting set. The Yankees demolished the Twins 10-2 behind a stellar pitching effort from staff ace C.C. Sabathia and a 16-hit effort from the offense last night.
One man’s greatest comeback victory is another’s worst beat.
That was the case in last Tuesday’s Red Sox-Orioles game.
We’ll go out on a limb and bet the majority of you who were invested in that game were on the Sox.
The week before a Major can be a crapshoot on which players are going to tee it up and which players will be taking the week off to rest. In the case of the week before the Open Championship, it is pretty cut and dry as most big name players are going to relax and take their time heading over the pond to Turnberry and the year’s third Major.
That leaves the John Deere Classic with a lack of star quality this week but it nonetheless should be a quality tournament.

American League Central Division baseball betting takes the spotlight on Friday evening at Bookmaker Sportsbook when the 1st place Detroit Tigers (43-35, +$560) and 2nd place Minnesota Twins (41-39, -$75) lock horns for the first time since mid May. The Tigers hold a three-game lead over the Twins for the top spot in the AL Central, but that lead was once six just a short 10 days ago.
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.
The tour heads to Bethesda, MD and Congressional Country Club for the AT&T National which is hosted by none other than Tiger Woods. Tiger missed his own tournament last season because of the knee surgery that sidelined him for nearly 10 months. He is back and is the big favorite this week in what is a healthy but not overly impressive field.
Only four of the OWGR Top Ten players are in action with Paul Casey (3), Vijay Singh (9) and Jim Furyk (10) joining Tiger.
Since the 2009 MLB Gambling season began nearly three months ago, we’ve had four players suspended for steroid use, two managers fired, and one pitcher – San Francisco’s Randy Johnson – join the 300-win club. Our tour of baseball’s top storylines this year begins in Los Angeles; all stats are at press time, and the latest lines are just a click away at sports.bodog.com.
Through Saturday, the Twins had committed the second fewest errors in all of baseball.
That’s what makes Wednesday’s loss in Milwaukee so tough to swallow.
Leading 3-2 with two outs in the eighth inning, emerging Twins ace Nick Blackburn (+$154 on the season) was cruising toward his second straight complete game, when J.J. Hardy blooped a harmless single into center field.
All you Big Ten haters better be changing your tune. The Big Ten is back, with four teams capable of making a BCS-sized impact and a couple of upstarts flying under the public’s radar. In recent years, the conference’s reputation has taken a major beating. The Big Ten went 15-26 ATS in non-conference games in 2008.
Ohio State and Penn State each got clobbered by USC, and the Buckeyes looked slow in BCS Championship Game losses to Florida and LSU.
