The Stanley Cup playoffs are heating up and sportsbook oddsmakers are forced to shift around the daily lines. While the Detroit Red Wings looked like a shoe-in to win the Stanley Cup after getting a freebie in the second-round with a matchup against the No. 8 seed Anaheim Ducks, the truth is that their freebie is not giving them a free ride.
If Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were still around today, well, they’d be over 200 years old. And being two very smart people, they’d be betting on the following five events, presumably using some of those sharp observation skills that made them great. Don’t forget to tell Abe and Chuck that all times listed are Eastern, and to visit Bodog Sportsbook for the latest betting lines.
If they’re talking about steroids and baseball, then spring must be just around the corner. Pitchers and catchers report to training camp on Thursday; we have two months to study them before the betting lines hit the board. Meanwhile, basketball season is in full swing, the NHL is in post-All-Star mode, and it’s time once again to lay rubber and swap paint. These are the Top 5 betting events of the week – all times Eastern, with the freshest lines available at Bodog Sportsbook.
No letting up now. The NFL season might be almost over (don’t forget the Pro Bowl), but March Madness is nearly upon us, and we’re rushing headlong into the playoff stretch for both the NBA and NHL. If you’re one of the many who finally bought a big-screen television for the Super Bowl, you will love watching basketball and hockey in HDTV.
This is the proverbial calm before the storm. The Super Bowl is in two weeks, and although the Big Game is already taking up a lot of handicapping attention, business will be relatively quiet until closer to gametime. This week is golden for betting on hoops. We’ve got the most compelling pro and college matchups leading off our weekly list of the top betting attractions; all times are Eastern, and updated lines are available at the Bodog online sportsbook.
Okay, college football fans. Recess is over; time to get back to work. The 2008-09 bowl season starts this Saturday with four games, and while this foursome may feature some of the lightweights on the bowl scene (will there be a second St. Petersburg Bowl?), we’ve got at least two games that promise to be both entertaining and potentially lucrative. The first bowl down the runway kicks off this week’s Top 5 list (all times Eastern; for current lines, visit Bodog’s online sportsbook).
Black Friday (and its online counterpart, Cyber Monday) signaled the start of yet another holiday shopping season. The handicapping world is also in overdrive this month. We’ve got pro and college football, pro and college hoops, and a healthy dose of hockey to get us through December – not to mention the latest superfight from the boxing ring. These are our Top 5 betting games of the week (all times Eastern; for current lines, visit Bodog’s online sportsbook).
Missing baseball season when your only alternative was the CFL or the WNBA? Didn’t think so. With NBA and college hoops now in full swing, the good times are rolling for bettors. Here’s a look at our Top 5 betting matchups of the week (all times Eastern; visit Bodog Sportsbook. for latest odds):
Scratch one more sport off the betting list. Jimmie Johnson has won NASCAR’s top prize for the third year in a row, taking the Sprint Cup in somewhat anticlimactic fashion by finishing 15th at Sunday’s Ford 400. Johnson only needed to place 36th or better to clinch the title. Cale Yarborough (1976-77-78) is the only other driver to pull off the three-peat.
A post-election lull has swept over the United States. All those man-hours spent fixated on polls and pundits have to be diverted elsewhere. Excellent timing, because college basketball is here. Preseason tournaments are underway; there are a lot of cupcakes on the menu, but this is when sharp handicappers swoop in and get fat.
