UFC Betting Odds for Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar
Fans who are going to bet on UFC 200 on Saturday, July 9th will bear witness to something of an oddity – other than Brock Lesnar making his grand return, that is. Even though the current UFC Featherweight Champion is Conor McGregor, the landmark event will feature a Featherweight Championship bout involving Jose Aldo versus Frankie Edgar – and unfortunately it will not be a Triple Threat match including the incumbent champ. As a result of the Irishman’s forays outside of his division, the company booked the Aldo vs. Edgar fight for an interim UFC Featherweight Championship, for which the UFC betting odds are as follows:
No One in WNBA Betting on Griner Making History
Fans of WNBA betting surely caught the historic moment. On Sunday night the Phoenix Mercury (8-10) traveled to Atlanta to take on the Dream (8-9) at 6pm. It was there where Phoenix center Brittney Griner posted the WNBA’s 6th triple-double in league history. Griner was able to entertain WNBA betting enthusiasts on her way to 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks.
UFC Betting Odds for Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes
Bantamweight champion Miesha Tate is the UFC betting favorite to retain her title against Amanda Nunes at UFC 200 on July 9th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. And I personally agree. I mean, what’s not to like? She’s beautiful, dangerous, and is nicknamed ‘Cupcake.’ She’s just like a real-life Powerpuff Girl. Having gotten that out of my system, here are the odds for fans who bet on UFC:
Is there like after Kobe for the Los Angeles Lakers?
That is what fans who are keen on betting on basketball at SBG Global sportsbook wonder about. Though to be honest, there wasn’t a lot of life left in them in the last years of Kobe’s tenure either. The Lakers started the 2015–16 NBA season eager to outdo themselves following a franchise-worst record of 21-61 the previous campaign – and in a way they did just that, posting an even worse record of 17-65. Perhaps not coincidentally, it was also Kobe’s third’s worst season out of his 20 in Los Angeles – other than his rookie season and the 2013-14 season in which he played only six games.
Andy Murray the new Wimbledon Tennis Betting Favorite
Now that Sam Querrey did the unthinkable and eliminated former odds-on tennis betting favorite Novak Djokovic in the third round of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships, Scottish 
Andy Murray has become the new favorite of people who bet on tennis to win the tournament. One would think that this turn of events would make Querrey himself a favorite, but that is not quite how things work. “The bookies don't always get it right,” Murray said. “They've made a few mistakes over the last few weeks across a number of different things.” Well, at least we don’t tell you how to play tennis, Andy. The World No. 2 has had eight wins and no losses since reconvening with Ivan Lendl and has yet to drop a set at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Church Road, Wimbledon, London, England.
Tigers vs. Indians Betting Preview – July 4th, 2016
Everybody loves a winner and that is why the Cleveland Indians are the MLB betting favorites to defeat the Detroit Tigers tonight at Progressive Field, as we can see below:
Bet on UFC 200: Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt Odds
On paper, Brock Lesnar is the underdog for people who are going to bet on UFC 200’s co-main event, when he takes on ‘Super Samoan’ Mark Hunt. And understandably so, too; former UFC Heavyweight Champion Lesnar has not been inside the Octagon since 2011 when diverticulitis issues forced him to retire. On the other hand, Hunt has been active long before and long after Lesnar came and went and came back again – though in almost three times as many fights as Lesnar has had, Hunt has failed to win a single title, which Lesnar did in only his third UFC match. Here are the UFC betting odds for their bout on Saturday, July 9th:
The NBA in Rio goes beyond the U.S.A. Basketball Team
The United States men's Olympic basketball team is as usual the online betting favorite to win the gold medal in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. Ever since NBA players first became eligible to play in Olympic basketball in Barcelona 1992 (the original, and to many, the only Dream Team), the US has won the Olympic tournament five out of six times – only coming up short in Athens 2004 where they won the bronze and Argentina won the gold. Most recently, American basketball prevailed in London 2012 with a team that included LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant, Andre Iguodala, and Kevil Love – all of whom will be absent this time around.
Bet on UFC Fight Night 90: Derrick Lewis vs. Roy Nelson
Fans who will bet on UFC Fight Night 90 favor Roy ‘Big Country’ Nelson to win his fight versus Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis on Thursday, 7th July at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Don’t let his, uh, less than defined physique – or the fact that he’s also known as Cheeseburger and the True Burger King – fool you; Nelson has defeated the likes of Brendan Schaub, Matt Mitrione, Cheick Kongo, Stefan Struve, Mirko Cro Cop and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira in the past. The UFC betting odds for his bout with Lewis are:
Boston Celtics Rebuilding Process Ready to Pay Off?
In 2007-08, Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge engineered the largest single-season turnaround in the history of the NBA – going from betting on basketball underdogs to league champions with a new Big Three of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett. Ainge has been at it again recently, signing coach Brad Stephens (deemed one of the brightest young coaching minds) to replace Doc Rivers in 2013, and drafting Marcus Smart with the 6th overall pick in 2014, and trading Marcus Thornton to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Isaiah Thomas in 2015. Thomas made his first All-Star appearance this past season, and averaged a career-high 22.2 points.
