The number three has a hold on all of us. Baseball’s inherent beauty is all about threes: three strikes to an out, three outs to an inning, three groups of three innings to a game. That’s why we’re sticking with the format as we present the three best series and the three best single games to bet on this week.
If the Stanley Cup playoffs don’t really get started until one of the favorites gets bounced, then consider the NHL postseason off and running.

Yankees and Red Sox. Red Sox and Yankees. If you’re one of the many baseball fans out there who could do quite nicely without having these two teams marketed down your throats year after year, now could be your chance for some payback. Literally.

Weather isn’t usually a factor in college hoops, but if you’re in one of the big East Coast markets like New York or Philadelphia, you know how challenging it is to get anything done in a snowstorm. Away teams should have at least a small early-week disadvantage traveling through the snow as the NCAA regular season draws to a close.
Winter technically isn’t over for another three weeks, but the betting market is heating up anyway with the arrival of March and the requisite push to March Madness. Conference titles, tournament bids and high seeds are up for grabs; we’re likewise going heavy on NCAA basketball in this week’s Top 5 betting games. All times are Eastern, with the latest betting lines available at sports.bodog.com.
I can’t deny the fact that I’ve got a great job. But it’s not like I spend all day sipping mai-tais and browsing the swimsuit issue.

Not that betting on the NBA isn’t already a hell of a lot better than flipping burgers. But this weekend’s All-Star gala is the handicapper’s equivalent of going to the carnival. Seven-foot giants (and Nate Robinson) will perform like acrobats in the Slam Dunk contest.
This Sunday is the 58th annual NBA All-Star Game, so we’ll be going to school for this weekend’s list of the 10 tastiest basketball stats and factoids. But first, here’s a goodie: The Western Conference has won all four All-Star Games played at football stadiums. Next year’s venue is the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington.
It’s not the official slogan for the 2009 Sprint Cup season, but there’s no doubt that the sport of stock car racing is living in interesting times. And it’s exactly in these times of transition that sharp bettors can swoop in and make a dollar – starting with Sunday’s 51st annual running of the Daytona 500.
