Golden Dome and a Crystal Ball: Predicting the Fates of 6 FBS Independents in 2019
Notre Dame expects to contend for a national title on the gridiron every year. The Fighting Irish may very well contend again in 2019 under the tutelage of Brian Kelly and behind the arm of Ian Book.

Premier League Matchday 2: Vegas Lines and Previews of all 10 Fixtures
Bovada Sportsbook’s SEO team (the people responsible for the page titles you see on your browser, not on the site itself) is calling this U.K. soccer campaign the “English Premiere League.” “Premiere” is of course an old-school Hollywood version of “premier.” But it kind of fits too. English soccer is framed for the fans like a movie (or a soap opera) with emotional “payoff … [Read more...] about Premier League Matchday 2: Vegas Lines and Previews of all 10 Fixtures
Pac-12 Football 2019: Win-Total Markets Add Sizzle to Jilted League
You know how bowling is less popular (on TV and league-wise) than it used to be? That’s partially because there’s only so much you can do to make a 3 lb., 6 oz bowling pin harder to knock down.

The result is that pro bowlers strike, again … [Read more...] about Pac-12 Football 2019: Win-Total Markets Add Sizzle to Jilted League

2019-20 ACC Football Preview: Futures Odds and Sleepers Who Could Challenge Clemson
I submit that among the reasons the NFL has experienced a recent dip in popularity while NCAA football just keeps growing is that The Shield puts meaningless games on TV for a whole month, while the FBS begins with some of its most important scrums of the season. The NFL’s Hall of Fame Game will kick off on August 1st, more than 3 full weeks before the opening salvo of … [Read more...] about 2019-20 ACC Football Preview: Futures Odds and Sleepers Who Could Challenge Clemson
Why I Like Jordan Spieth to Win on Sunday at Royal Portrush
An article should never begin at the beginning. But in golf gambling it’s never a bad idea to start with the basics. Let’s see – golf or “gulf” was invented by sailors several centuries ago on a patch of land now known as The Old Course at St. Andrews. Later, architects devised a 22-hole layout that was shortened to 18... Hmm. Yeah, this does seem a tad mundane and … [Read more...] about Why I Like Jordan Spieth to Win on Sunday at Royal Portrush
Picking a Winner in the Africa Cup of Nations Final
AFCON 2019 will conclude with a match between Senegal and Algeria for the soccer championship of Africa this Friday. That means a lot to the teams and nations involved, but it also means that at least 1 international Federation was wise enough to schedule its title fixture on a day when everyone can focus on it. Quite unlike FIFA, CONCACAF or CONMEBOL. Earlier this month, … [Read more...] about Picking a Winner in the Africa Cup of Nations Final
3 Proposition Bets You Should Make on the 2019 MLB All-Star Game
Ah, but for the good old days of calculators, ink pens and paper. You’d think the bookmakers at Major League Baseball betting sites would have really sunk their teeth into handicapping hundreds of “prop” markets for the 2019 MLB All-Star Game. After all, the daily slate of regular-season hardball prevents Las Vegas and London from giving every ballgame the full treatment. … [Read more...] about 3 Proposition Bets You Should Make on the 2019 MLB All-Star Game
