Las Vegas is hurting. Some may understand that, some don’t. But it’s real.
There are more than a few high-profile construction projects along the Strip which can’t be completed because the banks won’t lend any more money, and that includes the Fountainebleu, which has gone into bankruptcy and might be purchased for less than ten cents on the dollar by Carl Icahn. Some hotel rooms are being rented for less than the daily cost of their maintenance. The taxi lines at the hotels have gotten shorter and shorter; at least that’s what two or three distressed cab drivers have told me.
The concept of the pointspread began over a half century ago and really raised the interest in sports betting. It leveled the playing field; the pointspread became the equalizer. In the 1970s, Bob Martin of the Union Plaza Race and Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas was the most respected oddsmaker in the gaming industry. A lot of oddsmaking tools used today are credited to Martin.
This is exactly the time of year you want to be a handicapper. The NBA and NHL playoffs run virtually side-by-side. Baseball feeds us dozens of betting opportunities every week. The volume and variety of “summer sports” on the board is staggering. We’ll take another grand tour for this week’s Top 5 betting events; all listed times are Eastern, and the freshest lines are just a click away at sports.bodog.com.
There is no offseason for sharp handicappers.
It’s no secret that a ton of casual bettors close up shop after the Super Bowl. And in doing so, they rob themselves of an opportunity to cash in against softer betting lines than anything you’ll find in the NFL. What for? If you know the mechanics of the pointspread in football, you’ve already got the raw material to start betting on basketball.
At the ripe old age of 44 and with his last fight taking place more than two years ago, it seems as if many of the experts aren’t giving Mark “The Hammer” Coleman any sort of chance against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland.
The former Ohio State wrestler and one of the pioneers of the wrestling-based “ground and pound” style enters the octagon against the 27-year old Rua as a decided underdog in the betus.com sports books. Rua is a +400 to -250 favorite over Coleman, who beat him by what some observers call a fluky arm break back in 2006.
No offense to Alan Belcher, but when he enters the octagon on January 17th at UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland, most eyes in the building will be on his opponent, UFC newcomer Denis Kang.
Kang’s sometimes flashy fighting style and tantalizing athletic ability helped land him a four-fight contract with the UFC after fighting in tons of other organizations, and now the half-Korean, half-French middleweight challenger will have to justify it with a win over Belcher.
UFC 93 is just a few days away and sports betting fans have to be licking their fight betting chops in anticipation for the brawling that should ensue in Dublin, Ireland.
The online betting odds haven’t changed that much in the main event, Rich Franklin versus Dan Henderson, but in the prelim bout, some BetUS online sportsbook betting fans are calling it the co-main event, the online odds have changed somewhat.
There’s no better way to celebrate the United States’ absolute hatred of turkeys than by slaughtering and munching on them by the billions! While the family conversation bores you to death, why don’t you stuff your face full of some gravy and potatoes while three Superbowl candidates beat up on three of the worst teams in the league?
Philadelphia Flyers (0-3-3) vs. New Jersey Devils (5-1-0)
The Devils are everything you want in an NHL team, as long as you’re not opposed to low scoring offenses. The Flyers are atrocious right now. Even writing about them in any capacity is frustrating. Look for the Devils to demolish the Flyers tonight without a hitch.
