Las Vegas Favors Yale in Postseason Ivy League Tourney
There’s nothing like a good old study in contrasts to remind us of the crucial roles various factors can play in the NCAA basketball postseason. For instance, compare the March Madness prospects of 2 upstart-slash-underdog conferences at the national level, the American Athletic Conference and the Ivy League. I was researching the AAC for another article when it felt like … [Read more...] about Las Vegas Favors Yale in Postseason Ivy League Tourney
FA Cup Quarterfinal Betting Preview Part 2: Watford vs Crystal Palace and Millwall vs Brighton
In most tournament scenarios, the team that is more likely to win the next game or match is more likely to win the event outright. That’s usually the way it works, right? For instance, the Gonzaga Bulldogs were touted by Las Vegas handicappers at extreme minus-odds for the West Coast Conference postseason hoops tournament. Saint Mary’s upset the Zags in the final.

Call me crazy, though, but I thought I saw a few key differences … [Read more...] about Sportsbooks Differ on Clemson, Bama, UGA’s Odds to Win 2019-20 CFP Title
Why International Hockey is a Growing Sports Betting Market in 2019

Bovada Sportsbook and other state-side betting operations always try to keep the wee-hours client in mind.
