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.
Betting on Basketball: NBA Western Conference Finals
You’re betting on basketball, and the Golden State Warriors are the embodiment of basketball in the second half of the second decade of the 2000s. As such, they are the sports betting favorites to win not only the NBA playoffs Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but also go all the way and win their second NBA championship. Where does that leave the Thunder? They were also the underdogs versus the San Antonio Spurs, and we all know how that turned out.
Mets minus Matz?
Those who like to bet on baseball have to consider the fact that Mets pitching star, Steven Matz, has earned an unfortunate space on their injury report. Matz’s injury is perhaps the one that has his coaching staff and fellow players most worried. After recovering from a deficient season start he manage to pull off an 1.09 ERA. Due to recent elbow pain, he will have to be absent from the Metz next appearance. The team is hoping this event is only a minor flare up and that some rest will do the trick, however, if it turns out to be something more complicated, they will have a difficult time NL East without him and the baseball betting odds could be affected for Mets fans.
Big Boxing Match Could Be a Knockout
The good news for fans of boxing betting is that the fight that they really want to see actually can happen without having to wait until they grow too old to enjoy it. The date would be September 17 but do not make ticket-buying plans yet. This is boxing and there have been a lot of good fights that should have but never happened. Even so, Canelo Alvarez says he wants it. Gennady Golovkin also says he wants it. Two big hitters with a loss between the two for all the middleweight titles that they can bring to the ring.
