Murray’s Odds Of Winning French Open Better Than Ever
Andy Murray’s tennis betting odds of winning the French Open – also known as Roland Garros – are better than ever following his defeat of world No 1 Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3 in Sunday's Rome Masters final. The French Open is the season's only clay-court Grand Slam – and Murray had already beaten the 'King of Clay' Rafael Nadal previously at Madrid, yet another sign of the Scotsman’s steady improvement on the red stuff. Murray’s victory in Rome was his first title in the Italian capital as well as his first win over the Serbian on the clay – and only his third from their last 15 clashes on any surface.

Penguins Leveling Series is Great News for Online Betting
Blowout series are no fun, well unless your team is the one of the winning end of said blowout, but for online betting purposes a lengthy series is best. With that said the Penguins leveling the Eastern Conference Finals makes us anticipate more hockey to be played.
After Tampa Bay swept the Islanders and took game 1 of the series, as the underdogs for the first game, it seemed that they were well on their way to a big upset. But Game 1 cost the Lighting Big Ben Bishop, who went out with a knee injury. Despite that blow, Tampa managed to take the first game from the Steel City, 3-1.

A horse – who happens to be called Exaggerator – walks into a racetrack – say, Pimlico Race Course – and is asked, “why the long face?” And he says, “because Nyquist is already here.” Seriously though, it appears as if the fate of the Kentucky Derby winner and Triple Crown horse betting favorite Nyquist and his perennial runner-up Exaggerator is to fulfill the roles of Achilles and the tortoise – or the Coyote and the Roadrunner, to put it in terms anyone can understand. Exaggerator seems doomed to always be two steps behind Nyquist, whether in competition – where he has already lost four times to the undefeated colt – or even if they’re just commuting from one place to another.
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.

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.
