Golf betting: Odds to Win the D+D Real Czech Masters
Thomas Pieters, Andy Sullivan, Lee Westwood, and Matthew Fitzpatrick are among the golf betting favorites to win the D+D Real Czech Masters European Tour golf tournament to be played from August 18th-21st, 2016.

Accordingly, here are the odds for the tournament:

Why A-Rod deserves to be in Baseball’s Rogue Gallery
On August 12th, 2016 MLB betting fans saw the last of Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodriguez. Why is A-Rod not getting a season-long victory lap like David Ortiz? There is one very important reason for that; people actually like Big Papi. And that’s a good thing; more power to him. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that being disliked, or even hated, as Rodriguez is, is actually a bad thing, especially in sports. Everybody rants and raves about sports heroes. Michael Jordan is a sports hero. Jackie Robinson broke barriers. Muhammad Ali is a role model.
NFL Betting Favorites Deliver in Preseason Week 1 Games
NFL betting favorites such as the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos delivered the goods in their preseason openers, while the Carolina Panthers started off on the wrong foot.

The Best of the NBA Regular Season Schedule
There are few things in life that provide the kind of thrill basketball betting does. The NBA has some of the highest paid athletes in the world and for good reason; they provide some of the best entertainment available. The NBA is quite capable of providing sound entertainment around the year, but even then some games are always more exciting than others. Watching budding rivalries or two superstar teams go at it is considerably more exciting than watching one team annihilate another. Recently the NBA schedule was released giving betting sportsbooks the opportunity to throw together betting lines for this year’s most anticipated games. Let’s take a look at the 5 basketball games gambling enthusiasts won’t want to miss.

Eye-Catching Betting Lines Ahead of UFC 202
Online betting fans looking for an intense match to wager on already know that UFC 202 will provide just that.

NCAA Basketball Betting, Who’s your Pick? The Hoosiers
College basketball betting fans looking for a laugh can look back to the 29th of July when Indiana Basketball’s Twitter account sent out one misleading tweet. The social media account falsely claimed that Indiana Basketball is #1 in national titles, Big Ten titles, NCAA tournament wins and NBA Draft kicks. The kicker of course is the fact that only one of those claims turned out to be true. UCLA has the most national championships in the nation. Indiana isn’t even in second place, no, they’re tied for third with five. The next bold claim stated that Indiana had the most tournament wins when in fact they’re not even in the top 5. The Hoosiers come in at a humbling 7th all-time ranking.

Odds of Success for US Women’s Olympic Golf
Sports betting fans get a little treat every four years when the quadrennial Games of the Olympiad are held giving sportsbook users the ability to bet on Olympic events.

Some might argue that the stakes are raised as athletes are playing out of patriotism, not monetary compensation.
