NBA Basketball Betting: Toronto Raptors at New Orleans Pelicans
The Toronto Raptors are coming off of a pair of substandard performances, losing to the Pistons in Detroit last Sunday and to Houston at home on Tuesday.

NBA Basketball Betting: Indiana Pacers at Milwaukee Bucks
It’s not uncommon to see even good teams play poorly in their final game of a long road trip. It’s less common to see the best team in the NBA convincingly beat by the one of the worst in any situation. That’s what happened to the Milwaukee Bucks the last time out. The Bucks ended […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Oklahoma City Thunder at Portland Trailblazers

NBA Basketball Betting: Boston Celtics at Sacramento Kings
The Boston Celtics have inexplicably become one of the most dysfunctional teams in the NBA and have been suffering through a horrible run over the past few weeks. Even with last night’s blowout of Golden State the Celtics have lost 5 of 7 and 7 of their last 11. That’s not exactly how Boston fans […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Utah Jazz at New Orleans Pelicans
Don’t look now, but the New Orleans Pelicans are playing reasonably well at the moment. They’ve won three straight and have inexplicably become a pointspread covering machine taking home the bacon in six straight and 7 of their last 8. Dating back to the end of January they’ve covered 12 of their last 16 contests! […]

Major League Soccer 2019 Season Betting Odds
It wasn’t that long ago that ‘professional soccer’ in the United States was a bad joke. It was common to hear mainstream sports media types prattle on about how ‘soccer can’t succeed in the United States’. The old North American Soccer League (NASL) was widely hyped as the ‘sport of the future’. Unfortunately, nobody told […]

Two episodes of Survivor: Edge of Extinction are in the books and we’ve got two contestants eliminated. Well, not really.

NBA Basketball Betting: Portland Trailblazers at Charlotte Hornets
Even though the Portland Trailblazers lost at Toronto on Friday night they remain red hot and are clearly a team no one wants to face right now. This is particularly true if your team is in the pitiful form that the Charlotte Hornets are in. These teams will face off on Sunday at the Spectrum […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Charlotte Hornets at Brooklyn Nets
Eastern Conference action on Friday night’s NBA card features a pair of teams desperately trying to hold on to one of the lower playoff berths.

Toronto has won 8 of 10 SU but […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Utah Jazz at Denver Nuggets
Two teams in excellent form go at it in the Mountain Time Zone on Thursday as the Utah Jazz make the short flight from Salt Lake City to take on the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are proving to be quite a thorn in the side of the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors. Denver has […]

‘Survivor: Edge of Extinction’ Episode 2 Betting Odds
There was a time when every US facing offshore sports book offered odds on ‘Survivor’. That’s no longer the case partially due to changes in the bookmaking industry and the declining popularity of reality TV (and broadcast TV in general). I’ve always enjoyed handicapping reality TV and other entertainment props so it’s been one of […]
