English League Championship Soccer Betting: Leeds United at Derby County
If you follow European soccer at all you’re no doubt familiar with the concept of ‘relegation’. The teams that finish at the bottom of a league table (eg: the bottom three teams in the Premier League) are relegated to a lower level league for the following season. This is similar to a Major League Baseball […]
English League Championship Soccer Betting: West Bromwich Albion at Aston Villa

Europa League Soccer Betting: Arsenal at Valencia
Arsenal has a chance to but a positive finish on a disappointing season as they play in Europa League semifinal action at Valencia. Valencia still has their hands full in Spanish La Liga play but will try to be an inhospitable host and add to Arsenal’s misery. The Gunners will have to play their part […]
Europa League Soccer Betting: Eintracht Frankfurt at Chelsea
Thursday soccer action offers a pair of Europa League semifinal games though both will be hard pressed to match the drama and unexpected results of the Champions League semis. Like the Champions League, however, the Europa League could see an all-England semifinal should Chelsea and Arsenal both win. Chelsea is in decent shape entering this […]
Kentucky Derby DQ Saga Somehow Gets Even More Bizarre
Maximum Security appeared to win the Kentucky Derby but was disqualified after a post race inquiry was upheld. 65-1 shot Country House was the beneficiary and won the Kentucky Derby. This was the first time in Kentucky Derby history that a horse was disqualified for an on-track infraction. I’m generally a ‘glass half full’ kind […]
Champions League Soccer Betting: Barcelona at Liverpool
Liverpool is still alive in the English Premier League championship race but they don’t have control of their own destiny. They’ll need Brighton & Hove Albion to take points from Manchester City this weekend either via a win or draw. They’ll also need to beat Wolverhampton at Anfield. If Manchester City beats Brighton they’re EPL […]
What Was The Deal With The Disqualification In The Kentucky Derby?
Maximum Security appeared to win the Kentucky Derby but was disqualified after a post race inquiry was upheld. 65-1 shot Country House was the beneficiary and won the Kentucky Derby. This was the first time in Kentucky Derby history that a horse was disqualified for an on-track infraction. There’s nothing worse than *thinking* you’re holding […]

NBA Basketball Betting: Denver Nuggets at Portland Trailblazers
The Portland Trailblazers are very likely happy with getting a split out of the first two games of this series in Denver. The Nuggets had the best home record in the league during the regular season (34-7) but were very mediocre on the road (20-21 SU). That means the Blazers get Games 3 and 4 […]
English Premier League Soccer Betting: Burnley at Everton
Not exactly the marquee matchup of the weekend in the English Premier League but it is the only game on Friday’s board. Burnley doesn’t have much to play for except professional pride while Everton has an outside chance of qualifying for Europa League play should they finish in 7th place. They’ll need some help from […]
NHL Hockey Betting: New York Islanders at Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes might not have pulled off a first round upset on the level of the Columbus Blue Jackets but they’ve very much been a surprise team during this playoff season. Their strong run has been particularly impressive as they’ve had to deal with a slew of injuries since the midpoint of their first […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Portland Trailblazers at Denver Nuggets
The Portland Trailblazers will try to bounce back from a Game 1 defeat to the Denver Nuggets. Portland had been one of the more competitive teams to face the Nuggets in Denver but came out looking flat and were never really in the game. The Blazers have a somewhat dubious Game 2 record–when trailing a […]

Soccer Betting: Arsenal at Leicester City
The English Premier League soccer season is winding down but there still a few matters to be settled at both the top and bottom of the table. Even in the middle of the table–where Leicester City is to be found–there is something to play for. With Manchester United and Chelsea renewing their rivalry at Old […]
Soccer Betting: Chelsea at Manchester United
Three games on Sunday’s English Premier League schedule and while this might not have the most significant implications in terms of the overall standings it is likely the most competitive matchup.
