It’s a new week, which means we are off to a fresh start with our Best Bets series. Even though last week didn’t go as planned, we still have our heads above water with an overall Best Bets record of 77-72-1. We are keen to point out that the NBA props have served as a […]
The NBA Playoffs are in full swing and so are our NBA props. We have another pair of massive contests to choose from on Monday, starting with the Celtics vs. the Bucks at 7 p.m. ET. Milwaukee was able to grab a 2-1 series lead with a win in Game 3, and they’ll be looking […]
Maybe a team with Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout on the roster actually can win. The Los Angeles Angels duo has collected four American League MVP awards over the past eight seasons. But with that hardware has come only one postseason appearance and no playoff victories. That could finally change this season, as the Angels […]
For most of us who engaged in Kentucky Derby betting, Saturday’s result didn’t pad the bank account one iota. Rich Strike, an 80/1 long shot, wasn’t even in the field until Friday. But he stormed from the inside in the home stretch to shock race favorites Epicenter and Zandon. Epicenter finished second and Zandon third […]
Heading into the 2022 MLB season, expectations were sky high for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Chicago Cubs? Not so much. So far, both squads are making preseason prognosticators look prescient. Following Saturday’s dominant doubleheader sweep at Wrigley Field, the Dodgers are riding a five-game winning streak and have matched the Yankees for baseball’s best […]
It all began innocently enough Thursday night, in the top of the ninth inning between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets, trailing 7-1 in a game seemingly lost, got an infield single from Starling Marte to open the inning. A nice effort, sure, but something to worry about in the MLB betting […]
Someone was apparently working on an “Uncut Gems” sequel Wednesday night in New York. Caesars Sportsbook reported that an Empire State bettor hit a 16-leg $6.90 parlay that paid $219,746.19. Yes, that’s right: a payout of about 31,847-1. Props.com offers details on the long-shot winner that’s like something out of a sports betting movie. Playing […]
We’ve got a huge sports betting Saturday on tap. There are NBA and NHL playoffs, the Kentucky Derby, and the Canelo Alvarez vs. Dmitry Bivol boxing match. As if that’s not enough, UFC 274 odds are on the board, as well, for a very popular card in Phoenix. Charles Oliveira will meet Justin Gaethje in […]
A day ahead of the Run for the Roses, action is starting to pick up on Kentucky Derby odds. For literally ages, bettors only had pari-mutuel betting available. But now, multiple sportsbooks are offering standard fixed-odds wagering — the same way you might bet on the winner of a golf tournament. And bettors are responding. […]
Admit it: Every year the Kentucky Derby odds come out and you make an obligatory bet, but you’ve thought about doing more. You’ve always been a little horse racing-curious. When you walk into the sportsbook and you see the old guys camped out in their cubbies clocking Keeneland at 11 a.m. on a Las Vegas […]
Back in the day — and by “the day,” we mean roughly the era when one of America’s chief forms of entertainment was watching President Roosevelt breaking up Standard Oil for Saturday night yuks — bookies set the numbers at horse tracks. That was the case for Kentucky Derby odds from the race’s inception in […]
Editor’s Note: This article has been updated from its original version following the May 6 news that Charles Oliveira failed to make weight for his lightweight title fight against Justin Gaethje. By coming in over the 155-pound limit, Oliveira was stripped of his title. UFC 274 has the look of a classic card. No, not […]
