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.

Odds – 94th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

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.

Wednesday MLB Top Matchups

Baseball Profits

It might not feel like it for those who bet on the Boston Red Sox last night (victims to the largest comeback in Orioles history), but as the 2009 All Star break approaches, the BoSox have the best record in the AL, and have been a profitable play for bettors when picking their spots.

Today they hit the field trying to shake off yesterday’s collapse and win the series with Baltimore.

Bodog MLB Betting: The Bettor’s Box

MLB Bettor’s Box

Baseball fans got a very rare treat Sunday night when New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera came up to bat for just the third time in his career – against New York Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez, no less. The Yankees were up 3-2 with the bases loaded and two out in the top of the ninth. Rivera had come out of the bullpen in the previous inning, and wasn’t going to be pulled for a pinch-hitter.

Lakers Getting The Money in Game 4

The Magic re-grouped after going down 2-0 in LA and delivered a huge home win for their rabid fans in Game 3.

Now they play what is arguably the biggest game in franchise history (no disrespect Game 2). The big question is can the shooters stay hot in Game 4, or will Kobe and crew put together a complete game and pull off the underdog win on the road.
