Soccer Betting: Portland Timbers at New York City
The Major League Soccer schedule for the week will conclude on Sunday evening as New York City hosts the Portland Timbers. The game will be played at the ‘House that Ruth Built’ (and that he never imagined soccer would be played at), better known as Yankee Stadium. New York City is right in the thick […]
Soccer Betting: Copa America Final Brazil vs. Peru
Until further notice, international soccer will be dominated by the European countries. After watching the Copa America that’s the only conclusion possible. I’ve watched a ridiculous amount of soccer in my role as a sports bettor/handicapper/oddsmaker/writer and I can’t recall a tournament with so many talent laden teams that was this poorly played. The only […]

MLS Soccer Betting: Orlando City at Philadelphia Union
The Fourth of July holiday in the United States has made the sports schedules for the week screwy and this Saturday Major League Soccer fixture between Orlando City and Philadelphia is a perfect case in point. For some reason, Orlando City and Philadelphia are playing each other in back to back games. Philadelphia won 3-1 […]
MLS Soccer Betting: DC United at FC Dallas
I don’t know if MLS soccer is any type of ‘Independence Day tradition’ in the making or anything but there are two games on the board for the 4th of July. In the best of the two contests, FC Dallas will host DC United at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas has a tenuous grasp on the […]

A Brief History of Celebrity Boxing
There’s a ton of ‘buzz’ about a proposed fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise. It’s unclear what Bieber’s ‘beef’ is with Cruise or if it is just a PR stunt. Inexplicably, UFC President Dana White is giving the ‘fight’ a veneer of legitimacy. Every year there’s at least a couple of incidents of celebrities […]
Soccer Betting: FC Dallas at Portland Timbers
Sunday MLS soccer action offers one game as the Portland Timbers welcome FC Dallas to Providence Park in the Rose City. The Timbers have had a downright bizarre scheduling setup this season due to construction to expand and modernize their home field. As a result, Portland has played only two games at home this season. […]
Justin Bieber vs. Tom Cruise: What Would Happen If They *Did* Fight?
There’s a ton of ‘buzz’ about a proposed fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise. It’s unclear what Bieber’s ‘beef’ is with Cruise or if it is just a PR stunt. Inexplicably, UFC President Dana White is giving the ‘fight’ a veneer of legitimacy. A couple of days ago we weighed in on the inexplicable […]
Why The Justin Bieber v. Tom Cruise ‘Fight’ Won’t Happen
There’s a ton of ‘buzz’ about a proposed fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise. It’s unclear what Bieber’s ‘beef’ is with Cruise or if it is just a PR stunt. Inexplicably, UFC President Dana White is giving the ‘fight’ a veneer of legitimacy. I’ll preface this article by saying that I have no clue […]

MLB Baseball Betting: New York Mets at Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs aren’t having a great season but they’re playing well enough to find themselves in the National League Central lead in late June. They’re 41-34 on the year and while that’s well off the pace of the Los Angeles Dodgers who have the NL’s best record at 52-25 it does give them a […]
Saturday MLS Soccer Betting Preview
Busy day of MLS soccer betting action with five games on the board. The Los Angeles Football Club aka LAFC is still dominating play in the league with 37 points–that’s 9 better than the West’s second place team the LA Galaxy and 6 better than the Eastern Conference leading Philadelphia Union. LA GALAXY AT FC […]
CFL Football Betting: BC Lions at Edmonton Eskimos
We’re already in the second week of the Canadian Football League season and it goes without saying that this is indeed a glorious time of year. CFL football is a blast to watch and has always been one of my favorite sports to handicap. Friday night action takes us to scenic Edmonton, Alberta as the […]
Soccer Betting: Uruguay vs. Japan
While Uruguay often finds themselves overshadowed by the ‘glamour teams’ of South American soccer (eg: Argentina and Brazil) they’ve actually won the Copa America on more occasions than any other country. They haven’t had as much success over the past decade as they have historically but with Brazil and Argentina both in a state of […]
2019 NBA Draft Betting
The 2019 NBA Draft is set for Thursday night from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and much like it’s NFL counterpart it has become a popular betting event in it’s own right. The NBA draft dates back to 1947 and has seen a number of rule and format changes over the years. Currently, the NBA […]
MLB Baseball Betting: Houston Astros at Cincinnati Reds
One Interleague game on the MLB betting docket for Monday and at first glance it appears to be a mismatch. The Houston Astros are flying high with a record of 48-24 which ties them with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the big leagues. They’ve got the #4 team ERA in the […]
Soccer Betting: Brazil vs. Venezuela
Brazil took care of business in their opening game against Bolivia though not to the extent that their supporters would have liked. Due to a sloppy start against their overmatched opponent the game was scoreless at halftime which resulted in the Brazil team being booed off the pitch as they made their way to the […]
Soccer Betting: Uruguay vs. Ecuador
The perception of many heading into the Copa America was that Uruguay might have been the ‘best of the rest’. They were the third favorite to win the tournament but were almost ignored due to the huge public popularity of the first two teams–Brazil and Argentina. That might have changed due to Argentina’s shocking opening […]
Soccer Betting: Paraguay vs. Qatar
The soccer championship of South America aka the Copa America is underway in Brazil. Brazil opened the tournament with a 3-0 win over Bolivia on Friday night which set the stage for a downright crazy Saturday. In the opening game, Venezuela and Peru played to a scoreless draw. Peru was unlucky to get that result […]
