Blues Goalkeeper Brian Elliot Breakout Star of Game 1
It was not too long ago that St. Louis Blues coach Ken Hitchcock astounded people betting on hockey by commenting that he need to “sleep on” which goalkeeper to start. Well, he must have had that dream where you're in bed, and they fly in through the window, because not only has Blues goalie Brian Elliot retained his place in the starting lineup, but is arguably the team’s star. The Ontarian may not be the first name mentioned in conversations about the top NHL goaltenders – or the second, or even the third for that matter – but he has provided his teammates with the assurance that, say, a solid sports betting wager gives you.
Liverpool Slight Soccer Betting Favorite versus Sevilla
Liverpool is the slight soccer betting favorite to win the UEFA Europa League versus Sevilla on Wednesday 18th. The Spanish team is the defending, two-time champion, but has had more luck in cup tournaments than league contests. In addition to reaching UEFA’s second-tier international tourney for the third time in a row – which is and of itself an unparalleled feat –, Sevilla reached the finals of Copa del Rey. However, they finished 7th in the Spanish League and thus were not anywhere near the championship picture that ended this weekend with the predictable outcome of Real Madrid not winning the title – which people who bet on soccer saw coming a mile away.
Mexican American Alliance Could Trump World Cup Bidders
The soccer betting odds of the United States and Mexico to win the next World Cup may not be great (+5050 and +6650), but their chances to host a joint edition of the 2026 global tournament could improve exponentially if a proposed partnership between the two comes to fruition. Football officials from both nations told ESPN FC that initial talks were held at the FIFA Congress taking place in Mexico City this week, with additional pow wows expected to occur in the following months – with the blessing of FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
NFL Betting and a Vegas Team: a Match Made in heaven?
The NFL betting on moving – or having – a team to Las Vegas was something that, until not long ago, would have been received with incredulous chuckles. Like if I told you the Oakland Raiders are moving to Sin City, you would say that I’m really funny. And I would ask you, what do you mean, I’m funny? Funny how? Funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh? And I would be right to ask those questions, because that particular move is no longer laughing matter.
Heat Online Betting Favorites for Crucial Game 6
It is do or die time for Miami as they enter Game 6 win winning as their only option. For this crucial game they are online betting favorites, but with how this series have been so far, that is not any type of assurance. They have put Toronto to the test, but the Raptors have fought back. DeRozan and Lowry linked up and pushed Miami to the edge. Now facing elimination, at American Airlines Arena, there is zero room for error.
Remember the Cheasapeake Energy Arena: Bye, bye Spurs
Even the mighty online betting favorites fall. San Antonio Spurs, we hardly knew ye. At least for what’s left of this postseason, the Spurs are no more. They have ceased to be. They have expired and gone to meet their maker. They are stiff. Bereft of life, they rest in peace. Their metabolic processes are a matter of interest only to historians. They have kicked the bucket. They have shuffled off their mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the choir invisible. All very metaphorically speaking, of course. They’re all alive and well, except maybe Tim Duncan’s career – or whatever’s left of it.
VR simulation predicts outcome of Floyd-Conor match
Some people say boxing betting odds would favor Floyd Mayweather while UFC betting odds would favor Conor McGregor, depending on whether their vaunted fight were to take place in a boxing ring or a MMA octagon. Most people who still have a shred of connection with this plane of reality agree that the match is never going to happen, regardless of how much the two would-be opponents run their mouths. Someone, however, has imagined a third alternative scenario in which Money would beat The Notorious One with a single punch. And the best part is, it’s as realistic as it gets and probably the closest we’ll ever get to see the two lock up.
Betting on Hockey: San Jose Sharks vs. St. Louis Blues
For those betting on hockey who like to take a stroll down amnesia lane, the San Jose Sharks are making an appearance in the Western...

Like a brave Chinese student, the Portland Trailblazers courageously stood in front of the Golden State Warriors’ tank – and got mowed down for their efforts. 
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers lived up to their name and swept the Atlanta Hawks like they were a curling stone. On the other hand, the nominal online betting on basketball favorites the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat have struggled with alleged underdogs the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Toronto Raptors, and are both on the verge of elimination. Of course, the latter are cases in which the winners would actually be the losers, having to go on to face the basketball-playing machines that are the Warriors and the Cavs.
UFC 198 Matches: The Main Card Match-by-Match
If you’re planning on betting on UFC 198, you know the main card comprises five matches, following the deus ex machina that delivered us from the superfluous Anderson Silva-Uriah Hall bout. The Spider is so inessential that the UFC didn’t even bother coming up with a replacement match. Either way, that leaves plenty for UFC betting fans to sink their teeth into.
