MLB Betting: Trading News
The MLB trade deadline is fast approaching, and the baseball betting landscape could irrevocably change in the days leading to July, 31st. In the most recent trading news, the Washington Nationals and the St. Louis Cardinals have designated Greg Dobbs and Pete Kozma for assignment, respectively.
Soccer Betting: The repercussions of Luis Suarez 4 month ban
Memes aside, Luis Suarez’s biting incident and the subsequent ban will send shockwaves across the soccer world and therefore, on soccer betting. The ban might be regarded as a seismic event that will not be limited to just the World Cup. It will affect the Futbol Planet and probably knock it out of orbit. It might seem a bit exaggerated to some, but considering the ins and outs of the ban, if you bet on soccer you will need to consider this.
NFL Betting: The most exciting sophomore players
Once going through their rookie season, a whole new sets of expectations are placed for second year players in the league and NFL betting fans are now more familiar with the abilities of these players. So, who are expected to bring on top form performances to the gridiron? We have selected our top picks that will bring some action into the league and bring more excitement to football betting this year.
The first player that we must put on this list is Sheldon Richardson. The DT/DE from the New York Jets had a phenomenal rookie season, standing his ground into one of the teams top defensive lineman. Richardson was regarded by many as a top candidate for rookie of the year. The way he performed and early reports for OTA’s are stating that there is no signs of Richardson loosing any steam. Quite the contrary, expect him to solidify his spot as one of the top players in the league.
NBA betting: Will Melo and the King play together next season?
Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James would be a basketball betting match made in heaven. For those who bet on the Miami Heat, that is; for the rest it would be pure hell. But even if the two do end up on the same team, there is no guarantee that it would be this year’s NBA Championship runner-ups. In fact, it has been revealed by his agent Rich Paul that James will exercise his contract’s early termination option. That doesn’t mean the Heat and LeBron are breaking up; it probably doesn’t even mean James is considering leaving. If anything, it is a wake-up call for Miami to offer him a restructured deal, and more importantly, spend more on an upgraded roster.
Basketball betting: Top NBA draft foreign prospects
Is the NBA betting on foreign prospects? The annual draft traditionally focuses on homegrown talent, but there is no denying that international stars have helped make the league what it is today. The impact that players like Dikembe Mutombo, Arvidas Sabonis, Rik Smits, Dirk Nowitzki, and more recently Tony Parker is indelible. This year’s draft class has been touted as one of the most promising in a long time, and while foreign prospects may not be capturing the top picks, they will certainly be hot commodities.
First of all there is Australian 18 year old guard Dante Exum. Though born in Melbourne, Exum’s American father Cecil won an NCAA championship in 1982 with the University of California, alongside future legends Michael Jordan and James Worthy. Cecil was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1984 but ended up playing in Australia’s National Basketball League for such teams as the North Melbourne Giants, Melbourne Tigers, and Geelong Supercats. Dante has participated in the FIBA Under-17 World Championship and the 2013 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, as well as the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit. Exum is expected to be drafted by the Magic.
Baseball betting: Who will win the World Series?
According to MLB betting lines, if the World Series started today, it would pit the American League’s Detroit Tigers or Oakland Athletics versus the National League’s Los Angeles Dodgers or San Francisco Giants. Regardless of which teams make it though, the AL representative would be the favorite to become the 2014 to win the 110th edition of Major League Baseball's championship series. Current champions the Boston Red Sox are nowhere near the title picture, and the loved/hated New York Yankees are just outside of the top ten contenders.
College Football Betting: Can Oklahoma win it all?
Since 2011, The Sooners have been an exciting team to watch and a recurrent team in college football betting. Oklahoma’s team has shown some interesting progression, materializing on trips to different Bowl games. This year the goal for the Sooners is to reach the National Championship, but can they aspire to it?
Although it might be sounding more like wishful thinking than stone cold facts, it must be acknowledged that the Sooners have the talent and the roster to reach the last game of the season. Their quarterback/Tight-End Blake Bell is on his last year as a Sooner , and he is the first person on the roster stating this bold claim. College Football bets for the Sooners prove that many of the fans agree with Bell.
Soccer Betting: Transfer Rumors
While the World Cup has been a feast for the eye’s of soccer betting enthusiasts, something else is happening this summer. Transfers rumors will stir things up once preseason begins for all the important European Leagues. And will definitely have a huge impact of the odds and lines for the up coming European Leagues.
