NBA Basketball Betting: Brooklyn Nets at Cleveland Cavaliers
To make money sports betting in the long term it’s essential to have a contrarian mindset. If you follow the ‘public’ bandwagon you’re destined to lose money. If you go against this mentality, however, you’ll always be getting the best of it. That being said, there are times when the obvious play is the right […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Edmonton Oilers at Pittsburgh Penguins
Two games on Wednesday’s NHL board and in this preview we’ll look at an interconference matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s not exactly breaking news that the Oilers are a downright maddening team. They have the best hockey player on the planet in Connor McDavid but are at serious risk of missing […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Orlando Magic at New Orleans Pelicans
Non conference game in the NBA tonight as the Orlando Magic make the two hour flight over to New Orleans to take on the flatlining Pelicans. The Pelicans were in the headlines for all the wrong reasons at the trade deadline with the ongoing crybaby antics of Anthony Davis getting all the ink. Davis doesn’t […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Calgary Flames at Tampa Bay Lightning
Big game in the NHL tonight that could be a preview of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Calgary Flames have completely turned things around this season and are currently in a four team mix atop the Western Conference. They face a tough road game tonight, however, as they travel to the ‘Cigar City’ to take […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Portland Trailblazers at Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks have been one of the best teams in the NBA over the past decade plus but they’re in a strange place right now. They’re not a bad team but there’s nothing to suggest that they can compete in the postseason. Actually, there’s no guarantee that they’ll make the postseason due to their […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Carolina Hurricanes at New Jersey Devils
Sunday NHL hockey betting action on tap and we’ll take a look at a 3:05 PM Eastern start game between the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils. The Devils are a mess right now. Seriously, they’re not bettable at any price given their current situation. More about that in a moment… Carolina might not be […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Nashville Predators at St. Louis Blues
Big card of NHL betting action for Saturday and we’ll take a look at a Central Division matchup between the Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues. The Blues are a tough team to figure. They bumbled through the first half of the season but have finally started to show some moxie in the past month. […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Anaheim Ducks at Philadelphia Flyers
A busy day of action in all sports including NHL hockey. In this preview we’ll take a look at an afternoon start game between the slumping Anaheim Ducks and the surging Philadelphia Flyers. It wasn’t that long ago that the roles in this matchup were reversed. Philadelphia has struggled all season to find some consistent […]
College Basketball Betting: Virginia Tech at Clemson
For a college basketball team it’s a blessing and a curse to be a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). On one hand, the college basketball powers that be fawn over the ACC. That means a team in the conference is automatically given preferential treatment over an equally talented team in a lesser conference. […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Chicago Bulls at Brooklyn Nets
The marketplace is starting to catch up to the torrid pointspread performance of the Brooklyn Nets but we’ll stay on the bandwagon for now. This matchup looks like an excellent opportunity for Brooklyn to continue their strong run as they face the bumbling Chicago Bulls. Chicago is a mess. There’s really no other way to […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Carolina Hurricanes at New York Rangers
One great thing about watching and/or betting NHL hockey is that the teams can be counted on to put up a decent effort on most nights. Even late in the season when a team might have been eliminated from postseason consideration you seldom see NHL players ‘phone it in’. To the contrary, it’s not uncommon […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards
The Cleveland Cavaliers no longer have to worry about being the worst team in basketball or for that matter the worst team in the Eastern Conference. Since it appears that the Phoenix Suns (12 straight losses) and New York Knicks (14 straight losses) have packed it in for the year even exerting a minimal effort […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Dallas Stars at Nashville Predators
A solid card of Thursday night NHL action features this Central Division matchup between the second place Nashville Predators and third place Dallas Stars. Although these teams are #2 and #3 in the divisional standings they have markedly different goals for the remainder of the regular season. The Predators stand at 68 points and are […]
College Basketball Betting: William & Mary at Northeastern
At the top of a busy night in college basketball we’ll take a look at a Colonial Athletic Association matchup between Northeastern and William & Mary. William & Mary enters this game on an upswing, having won two straight against decent competition on their home floor. The Tribe beat Delaware on Saturday 84-63 and Drexel […]
NHL Hockey Betting: Boston Bruins at New York Rangers
Not much to choose from on a short slate on NHL hockey action for Wednesday. North of the Border, the Toronto Maple Leafs will host the flatlining Ottawa Senators. The Senators can sometimes be worth a look at home where they’re 12-11-4 on the year but not on the road where their 7-17-1 away record […]
NBA Basketball Betting: Denver Nuggets at Brooklyn Nets
Amid all of the nonsensical Super Bowl hype and the mainspread sports media’s endless fawning over LeBron James there have been some remarkable stories that have gone completely unnoticed. In the NBA, one of the most compelling has been the unexpected revival of the moribund and long suffering Brooklyn Nets. After some semi-promising performances in […]
Nevada Super Bowl Betting Handle Down From Last Year’s Record
Heading in to the post Super Bowl week there was a good deal of anecdotal information suggesting that the betting handle on the Los Angeles Rams vs. New England Patriots game could set a new record. In contrast to the miserable game itself and the flatlining TV ratings there was considerable optimism among Nevada bookmakers […]
Super Bowl LIII Tanks In The TV Ratings
ESPN might be working overtime trying to spin Super Bowl LIII into something other than the boring, poorly played game that it was but not everyone is buying it. More specifically, the American TV viewing public isn’t buying it. The 2019 Super Bowl had the lowest television ratings since 2007. And while the ersatz ‘worldwide […]
New England Patriots ‘Win’ The Worst Super Bowl Ever
How bad could a Super Bowl be? The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams gave us the answer on Sunday: “worse than you could possibly imagine”. In one corner, we had the up and coming Los Angeles Rams with a budding superstar quarterback in Jared Goff and budding superstar running back in Todd Gurley. […]
Early Super Bowl LIV Futures Odds Favor Pats, Chiefs, Rams
Were this a merciful world, the NFL would seriously consider scrapping the Super Bowl altogether following the horrific and ghastly fiasco game between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots on Sunday. Were these *really* the best teams in the entire National Football League? If so, why are they playing like its a preseason […]
