Westbrook making the greats proud (unlike Kevin Durant)
This season is not just about betting on NBA games – though it is a lot about that, too. It is also about working class hero Russell Westbrook giving star struck Kevin Durant the what-for. While Durant is busy “feuding” with some rapper, Westbrook is being heaped praise upon by NBA legends Michael Jordan and Nate “Tiny” Archibald. As MJ inducted Westbrook into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame on Thursday, His Airness made it a point to praise the latter’s sense of loyalty to his team, as well as his passion for the game of basketball.
This just in: the 7-6 Portland Trail Blazers “suck”
What? Wait, we at this online NBA betting site do not think that the Portland Trail Blazers suck. It’s the Blazers’ very own point guard Damien Lillard who thinks his team sucks. His exact words? “We kind of suck right now.” This candid statement came after Portland lost two consecutive games by a combined 42-point margin – 88-113 to the Chicago Bulls, and 109-126 to the Houston Rockets. Moreover, the Blazers rank 27th in points allowed per 100 possessions (107.3), and last in points allowed per game (111.3).
It takes Diff’rent Strikes to move the world of boxing
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why can’t Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather? The current UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion has once again challenged the retired boxer to a match “under boxing rules because (Mayweather)’s afraid of a real fight.” Online sportsbook boxing betting odds would not favor McGregor under those conditions, but who cares about winning or losing if you make $100 million along the way. What strikes us as odd is that the Notorious one would like his purse in “cash,” though he’d probably need a truck to haul that kind of money – which is appropriate after all, because it is the very definition of a truckload of money.
Radiocaddyshack: I, Robot am the Legend of Bagger Vance
When you bet on golf at a sportsbook, you put your money on human beings, but there might come a day when golf robots like LDRIC (Launch Directional Robot Intelligence Circuitry) will have taken over the world’s courses in lieu of your Tiger Woods and your Jason Days. Of course, by then Skynet will most likely be online and humanity will have been replaced by machines, so there will probably not be a lot of golf betting going on. So what or who is LDRIC? A seven-foot tall, 600-pound, moveable robot which top club speed is designed to max out at 130 mph – but could go as high as 152 mph.
As the MLB Betting Offseason Wears On, More Rumors Arise
The MLB may be enjoying the offseason but there is still plenty of action for sportsbook fans to stay up to date on. The offseason gives fans the opportunity to follow trade deals from when they began as a rumor to the point where they came into fruition. These offseason transactions are what help shape the face of all 30 MLB teams and will ultimately determine which teams remain in playoff contention. For that reason alone, it’s important for fans to remain up to date with all the latest happenings around the league and their implications for baseball betting futures lines.
BC Lions Looking to Keep Their Tradition Alive
2016 marked a drastic turnaround for the British Columbia Lions. After finishing 7-11 in 2015, the BC Lions were able to buckle down, put the pedal to the metal, and finished the 2016 season with a 12-6 record. Not only that, the franchise managed to qualify for the postseason for the 20th consecutive year, making them the holders of second longest streak in the Canadian Football League. Heading into the playoffs, this team’s hopes were higher than ever and a win against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Division Semi-Finals sent CFL betting fans who favor the Lions hopes through the air.
Cowboys Looking to Keep the Prescott-Train Rolling
With this past weekend’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots have essentially lost their title as NFL betting favorites. Now, that title belongs to 2016’s breakout team, the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys had decent expectations coming into the season, but a preseason injury to Tony Romo began to raise doubts about this team’s imminent success. Looking back in hindsight, it’s clear that Romo’s injury is by far the best thing that could have happened for the Cowboys. With Romo on the bench, Dak Prescott stepped in and rose to the challenge of being the quarterback for America’s team, arguably the most coveted position in professional sports. But Prescott didn’t even bat an eye and behind both his and fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliot’s impressive efforts, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves at 8-1.
Can Uriah Hall Overcome the Betting Odds Once Again?
The UFC made sure to hold nothing back for UFC 205. It was a celebratory night; New York marked the last major hurdle the UFC had to overcome on its way to becoming the world’s premiere promotional company. The UFC treated online sports betting fans to the best fight card in the history of the sport, and the fans responded by breaking all of the UFC’s previous records regarding pay per view, attendance, and viewership. But now, after their biggest night, the UFC will have to prepare to keep scheduling entertaining bouts to keep their hungry fans satisfied. UFC Fight Night 99 should do that and more.

Detroit Lions Could Become Serious Playoff Contenders
The NFL season has been full of surprises, some were anticipated, others were completely unexpected. Not many fans expected to see Tony Romo willingly give up the starting position to Dak Prescott, but seeing both Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot find this much success in their rookie years isn’t unfathomable. But what is hard to swallow is the fact that the Detroit Lines are leading the NFC North.
