It’s a big world out there. Our latest look at the week ahead in online sports gambling takes us across the globe, from the basketball courts of the United States to the verdant (and soggy) soccer pitches of England.
No single game gets as much attention as the Super Bowl. Hundreds of millions of people will watch the Indianapolis Colts take on the New Orleans Saints in Miami. They’ll have had a full two weeks to learn about the two teams in question. If you want to outsmart them and maximize your chances against the football odds, you’ll need all the relevant stats and factoids you can get your hands on. Here are 10 goodies that are off the radar screen of the average fan.
We’ve been waiting awhile for this one, but the biggest event on the online sports betting calendar is just around the corner. Super Bowl XLIV kicks off from Miami’s Dolphin Stadium – recently rebranded as Sun Life Stadium – on February 7 (6:30 p.m. ET, CBS). This is the latest in the year the Super Bowl has ever been held.
Did you get your holiday shopping taken care of? Good thing, because it’s already time to get back into the war room. College football betting is once again front and center, as the first bowl games of the postseason kick off this Saturday.
One month left in the NFL regular season and we still have two undefeated teams.
The Colts are one of two teams that are 12-0 (the New Orleans Saints are the other). Is this the weekend the mighty fall? Indy should have a battle on their hands as they host the 8-4 Denver Broncos. The sports betting community isn’t giving the Broncos much of a chance so far, as online sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com is reporting a little over 70% of the betting volume on the Colts.
It’s Turkey Time again. Time to take a close look at the NFL betting lines and see what the home teams have to offer. With each passing year, the game of football takes a harder toll on the human body, and it becomes that much more difficult to drag your bones into someone else’s stadium. We’ll lead this week’s betting preview with a look at the latest victims.
If we could give you one sound piece of basketball betting advice, it would be to pay close attention to the injury reports. This is more important in the NBA than in any of the other major team sports.
We’re talking 12-man rosters, with the starting five hogging most of the minutes. A team can only accomplish so much when one of those players goes down.
One of the greatest features of college football betting is the sheer number of teams in the FBS: a full set of 120, each with a chance of making you some money.
When it comes to online sports betting and finding a sports book that you can fully trust with your hard-earned money and personal information, with Bodog Sportsbook you know you’re going to be taken seriously.
Flush with cash from winning the battle last week vs. the books on Sunday and Monday, the sports betting public takes aim at Week 4 action.
There are two games in particular that have been attracting a lot of attention, both from the media, the fans and of course from sports bettors.
Betting on golf doesn’t get much simpler than this. Only 30 men are competing at the 2009 Tour Championship, and only one of those men is Tiger Woods.
The Tour Championship is the last stop on the FedExCup trail; the list of participants has been whittled down to the Top 30 players in the points standings, and the points have been reset going into Thursday’s opening round at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
Here is your new Top 5 list:
A big ACC battle kicks off the third week of NCAA football betting action. Tonight’s feature Thursday night game is a Top 25 battle between the No. 14 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the host No. 20 Miami Hurricanes.
The Canes are currently a 5.5-point favorite and this number might still go up (it opened at 4.5 points). We could see 6 by game time if the betting action continues as it is.
So Week 1 of the new NFL regular season is in the bag and closed with a pair of exciting Monday Nighters.
The New England Patriots eked out a 25-24 win over the Buffalo Bills but fell well short of covering as 10.5-point home faves and a very late Darren Sproles TD run allowed the San Diego Chargers to defeat the Oakland Raiders 24-20 but wasn’t enough to allow the Chargers to cover as -9 road faves.
You’ve heard that those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it right?
Ohio State bettors sure hope it’s true as they prepare to take on the USC Trojans this weekend.
Last season the Ohio State Buckeyes were ranked No. 5 when they traveled to Los Angeles to take on the No. 1 ranked USC Trojans.
The curtain rises on the 2009 NFL season tonight in Pittsburgh, with the Steelers currently sitting as a 6-point favorite over the visiting Tennessee Titans.
Sports bettors have been loading up on this game, with very heavy volume recorded at many online sportsbooks. SPORTSBETTING.com is seeing a definite betting trend toward the defending Super Bowl champs, with Pittsburgh receiving close to 70% of all the wagering volume so far.
This time, it counts.
Not that we can’t enjoy spending the money we’ve already made off the NFL preseason. But the people around the water cooler probably weren’t all that keen about starting their office pool until this week – the start of the 2009 regular season.
It is what it is. Those of us who have been working the preseason will have the jump on the rest of the market when the inevitable injuries happen and those anonymous reserve players are pressed into service.
