AFC West: Tightest Division in NFL Betting
Now that Week 11’s Monday Night Football action has completed, both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos find themselves one game behind the Oakland Raiders within the AFC West. There’s no question that the West is the tightest division in the league, and seeing the Raiders lead a division containing the reigning Super Bowl champion is a surprise few sportsbook fans saw coming. But there’s still enough football left in the season for either the Raiders of Chiefs to take hold of the West, but there’s only room for one at the top of the division. The best way for either Denver or Kansas City to take back ground in the division is by beating the other this upcoming Sunday. Let’s see what the NFL gambling odds have to say about Week 12’s AFC West matchup.
Lance Stroll on F1: Go speed racer, Go speed racer, go
Eighteen-year-old Canadian racing driver Lance Stroll will become the first Canadian F1 driver since World Champion Jacques Villeneuve in 1997. He will also become the second-youngest driver in F1 history behind Belgian Max Verstappen, who competed for Red Bull Racing when he was still six months short of turning 18. This goes beyond auto racing betting; this is a truly inspiring story of the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Verily, there is nothing you can’t do if you work, hard, keep your eyes on the prize, and never give up – and have a father whose net worth is estimated at US$2.4 billion.

New Playoff Format Raised the Stakes For WNBA Betting
The 2016 WNBA betting season set forth a new era in women’s professional basketball as it introduced the new playoff format that the league would be adopting. After various complaints were made about a lack of competitiveness in the postseason, the WNBA adopted a new playoff format for the 2016 postseason. Although it had mixed reviews, there’s no doubt that the new system raised the stakes for the coaches, players, and basketball betting lines. In years past, the top 4 seeds from each conference would advance to the playoffs, regardless of their records.

Westbrook making the greats proud (unlike Kevin Durant)
This season is not just about betting on NBA games – though it is a lot about that, too. It is also about working class hero Russell Westbrook giving star struck Kevin Durant the what-for. While Durant is busy “feuding” with some rapper, Westbrook is being heaped praise upon by NBA legends Michael Jordan and Nate “Tiny” Archibald. As MJ inducted Westbrook into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame on Thursday, His Airness made it a point to praise the latter’s sense of loyalty to his team, as well as his passion for the game of basketball.
This just in: the 7-6 Portland Trail Blazers “suck”
What? Wait, we at this online NBA betting site do not think that the Portland Trail Blazers suck. It’s the Blazers’ very own point guard Damien Lillard who thinks his team sucks. His exact words? “We kind of suck right now.” This candid statement came after Portland lost two consecutive games by a combined 42-point margin – 88-113 to the Chicago Bulls, and 109-126 to the Houston Rockets. Moreover, the Blazers rank 27th in points allowed per 100 possessions (107.3), and last in points allowed per game (111.3).
It takes Diff’rent Strikes to move the world of boxing
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why can’t Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather? The current UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion has once again challenged the retired boxer to a match “under boxing rules because (Mayweather)’s afraid of a real fight.” Online sportsbook boxing betting odds would not favor McGregor under those conditions, but who cares about winning or losing if you make $100 million along the way. What strikes us as odd is that the Notorious one would like his purse in “cash,” though he’d probably need a truck to haul that kind of money – which is appropriate after all, because it is the very definition of a truckload of money.
Radiocaddyshack: I, Robot am the Legend of Bagger Vance
When you bet on golf at a sportsbook, you put your money on human beings, but there might come a day when golf robots like LDRIC (Launch Directional Robot Intelligence Circuitry) will have taken over the world’s courses in lieu of your Tiger Woods and your Jason Days. Of course, by then Skynet will most likely be online and humanity will have been replaced by machines, so there will probably not be a lot of golf betting going on. So what or who is LDRIC? A seven-foot tall, 600-pound, moveable robot which top club speed is designed to max out at 130 mph – but could go as high as 152 mph.
