UFC Betting – Silva Being Very Careful About Decision For Next UFC Fight

Betting on UFC

 

 

 

UFC Middleweight champion Anderson Silva is considered by many to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. At 37-years old, it is no surprise that he is being very careful about his decision on whom he will fight next. After setting the record for most consecutive title defenses with his 10th against Chael Sonnen, Silva had no problem sending Stephan Bonnar back in to retirement with a first-round knockout win at UFC 153 in October. Silva has been presented with several options for which who he can defend his title against next, but it could be a while longer before he makes what will be a very careful online sportsbook decision.

While he remains one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, it is reasonable to expect that Silva’s skills will decline as he continues to get older, and time will tell if and how far he will be able to extend his record title run. The UFC Middleweight champion has never been beaten in the UFC, but there are some holes in terms of the level of competition he has faced. A proposed superfight against UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre still hasn’t been booked despite years of rumors and speculation, and while Silva’s camp recently said a potential bout against GSP could be in the works, there is also the chance that UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones will want a piece of the man standing in his way in the sports betting debate on who is the best of all-time.

Whether or not Silva will give in and accept a fight against Jones is another story altogether, a tilt where the age difference could become a major online betting factor. Jones is already the youngest champion in UFC history, and at just 25-years old he is still getting better. Despite the one loss next to his name, Jones has never actually been beaten before, as that lone defeat was the result of a disqualification for the use of illegal elbows. Jones has already taken out most of what was for a while considered the deepest divisions in the UFC, and he would also have a size advantage that Silva is accustomed to holding.

The more likely option would be for Silva to fight GSP, which is something that his camp is apparently pushing for. St. Pierre has been out of the sport for over a year because of a devastating knee injury, and there will be no way to know his betting sites skill level until he makes his long-anticipated return against Carlos Condit at UFC 154 this November. With such an incredible legacy, it only makes sense that Silva will be wary of who he fights and when, and that is why he is being very careful about his decision for who his next UFC fight will be against. For all of the latest UFC news and odds, be sure to check out the best online betting sites.

San Francisco Giants Wins the World Series Twice in Three Years

Betting on the 2012 MLB World Series

 

 

 

 

The San Francisco Giants won the World Series on Monday night in extra innings, 4-3. The Giants were able to sweep the playoff dominant Detroit Tigers in a swift way. The Giants were able to control the Tigers since the beginning of the series. Not many bookies or sports betting sites had prepared for such a quick end to the 2012 season, but it happened anyway.

The game was tied for four innings until the top of the tenth inning when Marco Scutaro was able to score the go ahead run. Sergio Romo struck out Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera in the bottom of the tenth to seal a Giant victory. It was the second time in three years that the Giants were able to win the World Series. San Francisco Giant third baseman Pablo Sandoval took home the post-season MVP award after playing a near flawless series.

What was anticipated to be a close series, turned into a giant joke, as San Francisco proved they were the better team this season. After not playing each other very often, perhaps not knowing your opponent hurt the Tigers who had a very successful regular season.

Tiger’s star Miguel Cabrera was the last strike out victim of the 2012 season. Many hoped that the Triple Crown winner would have helped lead the Tigers, however, he was unable to bring the Tigers back from the 3-0 series hole they had dug themselves into.

For those who followed many bet online reviews, sports books or other online betting sites may have found several different odds makers that influenced your decision to wager on either the Tigers or Giants. This year was such a topsy turvy season that it seems anti-climactic that the World Series ended on a pop fly after only four games. At the very least it did go to extra innings, but that is about as exciting as it would get.

The baseball season is now over, and it is time to find another sport to follow with the same enthusiasm. As of right now the NHL is not in operation, thanks to the lockout, and the NFL season is half-way over. The NBA is just getting underway, so there are still many options for the sports betting enthusiast.

Sports Betting Online - Keep An Eye Out For These Betting Options

If you bet on sports, you have a busy week with plenty of different options as the NBA playoffs is down to their final four, while the Stanley Cup finals switches from New Jersey to Los Angeles and the week wraps with some baseball action.

Thunder Spurs Odds (Monday, 9:00 PM ET): San Antonio is favored by five points at home in Game 5 of their Western Conference finals matchup against Oklahoma City, and those wagering at sports betting sites would tell you that the home team has won the first four games of this series. It is down to a best-of-three now, which makes home-court advantage even more important.

Celtics Heat Odds (Tuesday, 8:30 PM ET): The home team has also come out on top over the first four games of the Eastern finals as well, and Miami is favored at home on Tuesday night by eight points. The Heat could also be getting Chris Bosh back after an abdominal strain has sidelined the All-Star forward for the last nine games.

Devils Kings Odds (Wednesday, 8:00 PM ET): Cappers at betting sites should find the Kings favored in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals, but they're not quite the same in Los Angeles, although they could be going to close out the series after Game 3 on Monday. The Devils failed to protect their home ice and the Kings ran their record to 10-0 on the road, but can they bring the same intensity to the table at the Staples Center?

Rays Yankees Odds (Thursday, 7:05 PM ET): In this huge American League East matchup, a pair of ace southpaws square off in the Bronx as C.C. Sabathia and the Yankees welcome David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays. Sabathia beat Price when the two teams met in New York back in May, and the Yankees should end up being the favorite; 2012 Triple Crown betting sharps would compare this to a pair of thoroughbreds at Saturday?s Belmont Stakes.

Nationals Red Sox Odds (Friday, 7:10 PM ET): Interleague action kicks off on Friday with Boston getting their first look at the game's next big thing in Washington's Stephen Strasburg, who has looked like a Young candidate for the surprising Nationals. The Red Sox will counter with Felix Doubront, who is making the transition from the bullpen to the rotation and has given up five homers in his last three starts, but Boston has won two of those games. American League fans won't get a lot of chances to see Strasburg much in 2012, and you can wager that you'll see at least one "Strasburg to Boston in the future" article this week as you are researching your online sportsbook pick.

NHL Season Preview: Who will be the Top Teams in the NHL in 2012-2013?

This was a Stanley Cup playoffs that the online sportsbooks will not soon forget. The lowest seed to ever win a Stanley Cup raised the trophy this year and the Los Angeles Kings finally got the national recognition it has deserved for some time. This year saw a lot of surprises that have many of the fans wondering who will be the top teams that will compete for the Stanley Cup in the 2012-2013 season.

Let's take a look at who the betting sites think will be the teams to beat when the NHL drops the puck on the 2012-2013 season. It may surprise you to see who is not included in this list rather than who is actually there.

Los Angeles Kings

The Kings are not a flash in the pan that was put together at the trade deadline. Los Angeles picked up its most important pieces over the course of this season and those pieces helped to complete a very good hockey team. As long as the management in Los Angeles can keep the Kings together and make sure that this core of excellent players is on the roster, the Kings will remain a team to beat in the Western Conference for many years to come.

St. Louis Blues

When the season started, the sports betting online experts did not expect much from the St. Louis Blues. The team had missed the playoffs the year before and was starting out with a new head coach. But that head coach just happened to be Ken Hitchcock and the Blues wound up being the surprise of the Western Conference. The team has a very strong defense and very capable goaltenders. Hitchcock will spend the off-season repairing the things that went wrong for the Blues in the playoffs and turn St. Louis into a Stanley Cup contender.

Buffalo Sabres

For almost 75 percent of the 2011-2012 season, it looked like the Buffalo Sabres looked like they would continue to be the disappointment they had been for years. But, as the season came to an end, the best sports betting sites started to see signs from the Sabres that it was developing a roster that could be much more than just competitive. The Sabres are getting bigger and younger, which has been the way that other teams have moved towards becoming Stanley Cup champions. If goaltender Ryan Miller can start off 2012-2013 in his elite form, then the Sabres will be a force to be reckoned with.

Washington Capitals

The Washington Capitals drifted aimlessly through the 2011-2012 season with what seemed to be no enthusiasm at all. New head coach Dale Hunter did not seem to have any answers until rookie goaltender Braden Holtby stepped into the nets. The Capitals still have a very talented offensive team. With Holtby in goal, Washington can be reinvigorated to start winning again.

NHL Season Preview: Who will be the Top Teams in the NHL in 2012-2013?

Sports Betting Online - What To Wager On Next Week

Your online sportsbook will focus on Euro Cup scores at the end of the week, but there is plenty to get you through the week as the Stanley Cup finals roll on, along with the NBA playoffs and Major League Baseball.

Monday

Devils Kings Odds (8:00 PM ET): Los Angeles could be holding a 2-0 series lead by the time they head home for Game 3 on Monday night, but some sports betting online sharps may state that New Jersey has a better chance in Los Angeles, given how strong the Kings have been on the road.

Tuesday

Rays Yankees Odds (7:05 PM ET): These American League East rivals square off in the Bronx in a game that should be on the radar of sports betting players that follow baseball, and they'll see the Rays send out James Shields to take on Andy Pettitte, who is still shaking the rust off for the Yankees after sitting out the 2011 season.

Wednesday

Thunder Spurs Odds (8:30 PM ET): This series will either be three games to one for San Antonio or all tied up at two by the time we get to Game 5 on Wednesday night, and Oklahoma City showed they could make a series of it with a 20-point rout in Game 3 on Thursday night. The Spurs played their worst basketball in a while as they saw a 20-game winning streak that started in the regular season get ended swiftly, but being a veteran team, San Antonio probably weren't thinking about that streak; they're looking at the big picture, which is an NBA championship.

Thursday

Mets Nationals Odds (1:05 PM ET): In a National League East rivalry, Washington will look to continue their surprising start to the season and it is always an occasion for those that bet on sports when Stephen Strasburg is on the mound. The Nationals ace will try to help his team to a victory as they'll take on knuckleballer R.A. Dickey of the Mets in the nation?s capital.

Friday

Greece Poland Odds (12:00 PM ET): The European Championships kicks off on Friday with the co-hosts from Poland taking on Greece, who stole the show with a shocking victory at Euro 2004. Poland can take some encouragement from that tournament as no one expected them to do much, but they have a few good players, including a couple that led their team to success in the German Bundesliga, and the crowd are going to be up for it, especially after watching the opening ceremonies. You could expect the Polish to be the favorites on Friday as you prepare to make your weekend picks in your online sportsbooks.

A year ago at this time, the Phillies held a comfortable lead in the NL East, while the Dodgers were struggling to stay out of the basement of the NL West. What a difference a year makes.

With a lengthy injury list, including stars Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and now Roy Halladay, the Phillies can't seem to catch a break. The Dodgers haven't been safe from the injury bug, as Matt Kemp can't seem to stay healthy.

The series starts with a battle of lefties when Cliff Lee, who is somehow 0-2 in eight starts with a 3.00 ERA and 54 strikeouts goes against Clayton Kershaw, who is 4-3 with a 2.42 ERA and 64 strikeouts.

These two teams still have great MLB futures at the Bovada Sportsbook. Philly's odds are set at 14/1 while the Dodgers hold better odds at 10/1. Think that's how it will play out? Go to Bovada and prove it now.

This year, the Triple Crown is up for grabs by 3-year-old son of Flower Alley, I'll Have Another. Trained by Doug O'Neill, I'll Have Another captured the $2M Kentucky Derby (G1) on May 5 at Churchill Downs by running down pacesetter Bodemeister in deep stretch. On May 19, he ran a similar race in the $1M Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico Race Course, stalking Bodemeister until the stretch run and catching him in the final strides. Find Belmont Stakes betting lines on I'll Have Another at Bovada as he seeks the elusive Triple Crown.

While two-time Triple Crown runner-up Bodemeister will not make the trip to New York, several other Kentucky Derby starters will. Dullahan, a son of Even the Score, finished third in the Kentucky Derby but missed the Preakness Stakes in favor of a month's rest. He recently turned in a 5-furlong breeze at Churchill Downs on May 19 timed in 1:00.20 and looks sharp in his bid for spoiler. Find horse racing odds on Dullahan at the Bovada Racebook.

Looking for a chance to redeem a second straight disappointment is Union Rags, last year's runner-up for champion 2-year-old. A jockey change is likely in the works for this son of Dixie Union, who could not find his way out of trouble in either the Kentucky Derby (in which he finished 7th) and the Florida Derby (G1) back in March. Make your 2012 Belmont Stakes bets on Union Rags at Bovada.

MLB Betting – Marlins Have The Necessary Pieces To Succeed


Welcome to Miami where the heat is on. So are the Marlins, right now, in contention for the division lead, two months in to the regular season. They have a new name, new stadium, new logo, new manager, a ton of new faces, and with all of that the fans in Miami now have a new sense of optimism that it isn’t only their basketball team that will bring home some hardware this season. However, if the Marlins are going to have any chance at making the playoffs as National League East winners, they are going to need to make a few adjustments, particularly on offense where they have struggled to score runs all season. Miami has the players to be successful this season, but if it is going to deliver on its potential the offensive stars will need to match the sports betting production of a pitching staff that has been solid so far.

The Marlins actually lead the majors in quality starts through the first two months with 36, and that has had a positive impact on an entire staff that ranks eighth with a 3.60 ERA. Surprisingly, it is the ace Josh Johnson that has had the toughest time at 3-3, with a 4.83 ERA, the worst mark of Miami’s five starters. Both Anibal Sanchez and Carlos Zambrano have managed to get their ERA no higher than 3.00, and with Mark Buehrle exceeding expectations since being reunited with new manager Ozzie Guillen after their time together with the Chicago White Sox, the Marlins are in excellent shape with their pitching staff, with the bullpen benefiting from not being overexposed as a result of such a strong starting rotation.

If Miami is going to be a true online betting contender for a division title this season, the offense has to increase its production and provide the staff with more support. The Marlins rank 20th in both batting average and runs scored, but could see much better results overall if they can climb in to the top-15 in both of those categories. Even increasing their runs by capitalizing when they have men in scoring position would provide a boost, and there is no denying that Miami has capable hitters on the roster with Jose Reyes added in the offseason to a group that already includes Hanley Ramirez and Giancarlo Stanton. Omar Infante has been a major bright spot with a .317 average, but Stanton is the only hitter on the roster with at least 10 home runs (13), and the Marlins have to be better at consistently putting runs on the board.

As far as the best sportsbook online expectations are concerned, Guillen will acknowledge that his team has played well and appreciate being in contention for a division title. However at the same time, Guillen understands that his team has left wins on the table this season, and will need to do a better job of capitalizing on the chance to improve their record on nights where the starter has been solid but hasn’t gotten the needed run support. With Reyes, Stanton, Ramirez, and Infante among others, the Marlins have the pieces to be successful this season, it’s just a matter of putting those pieces together and capitalizing when the opportunity is there.

NHL Stanley Cup Overview – Can the Kings Stay On Track?


Sport betting enthusiasts all over the world have been keeping a close eye on the march to the Stanley Cup Finals and the Los Angeles Kings have impressed a lot of people. The Kings could be the first-ever eighth seed to win the Stanley Cup, so long as Los Angeles can keep on putting out efforts like the one it gave in game one of the Cup Finals. The Belmont Stakes betting is huge because it is for the Triple Crown. But the story of the Los Angeles Kings is also catching fire all over the world.

Can the Kings see this through to a successful conclusion? Neither the Kings nor the New Jersey Devils were expected to be in the Stanley Cup Finals this year. The Devils are opportunistic and took advantage of every mistake their opponents made. But New Jersey has a lot of holes in its armor that make it susceptible to being defeated. The Kings proved that in game one. Now the betting sites are curious to see if the Kings can maintain this pace and bring Lord Stanley’s trophy back to Tinseltown.


Offense

The Kings had been dormant on offense all season long. When the playoffs started, it looked like the sleeping Los Angeles offense would never wake up. It seemed like winning the opening round of the playoffs kick-started the Los Angeles offense and it has been hitting on all cylinders ever since.

The Los Angeles offense is aggressive, strong and smart. It is led by captain Dustin Brown who has put his body in harm’s way more than once in this series just to make sure that the Kings advanced to the next round. With Jeff Carter, Anze Kopitar and Mike Richards finally putting the puck into the net, the Kings now have an offensive system that should be strong enough to challenge the New Jersey defense.

Defense

When a team has a goaltender such as Jonathan Quick behind it, the tendency is to bring the defense on the offensive attack and let Quick fend for himself. That worked in game one, but the legal online sports betting sites know that it is not a system that can be used for the entire series.

The Kings need to get a little better at defensive positioning and making sure that the Devils have a difficult time entering the Los Angeles zone. The Devils have not been nearly as prolific at scoring goals in these playoffs as the Kings have, but that does not mean that the Kings should let its guard down. Los Angeles needs to tighten up on defense and make sure that the defensive zone is covered at all times. Remember that the Devils are opportunistic on offense. If the Kings start to leave openings in the defensive zone, then the Devils will exploit them.

Overview
The Kings have the upper hand by winning game one of the Stanley Cup Finals. But the Kings need to stay aggressive and play smart hockey if it wants to walk away with the championship. Los Angeles does have what it takes to be the first number eight seed to win the Cup. It just needs to make sure it does not get complacent as the series goes on.

UFC Betting – Dos Santos Retains Title At Bloody UFC 146; Lesnar Eyes Potential Return


When an entire Pay Per View features only heavyweight fights, the potential is there for a quick night filled with a ton of knockouts, so it is no surprise that UFC 146 went down exactly the way that it did. With a season’s worth of memorable knockouts, more blood than we have potentially ever seen in a UFC octagon (from one fighter mostly), and a successful championship title defense, UFC 146 was entertaining all the way through. That is why it is such a surprise that what most MMA fans are talking about had nothing to do with the actual fights themselves, but instead the former UFC Heavyweight champion that was on hand at the event, and who could possibly be considering a return to the octagon in the near sportsbook future.

After an interesting round of preliminary fights that included four of the six betting contests ending in the opening round, the stage was set for the five heavyweight tilts that made up the main card, beginning with Stefan “The Skyscraper” Struve against Lavar Johnson. In what was considered a relatively even matchup, Johnson came out throwing some big shots early, and it looked like we would have a close fight. However, Struve played a smart game and used his excellent reach advantage to pull a guard on Johnson, before throwing his legs up for an armbar submission that ended the fight just over a minute in to the first round. After Stipe Miocic beat up Shane Del Rosario in a battle of unbeatens with some solid elbows midway through the second round, we saw another quick fight as Roy “Big Country” Nelson landed one of the biggest haymaker punches ever in the UFC to knock out Dave Herman in the opening round. Nelson’s surprise blow actually forced Herman’s knees to buckle, turning him around as he hit the mat, and there was on doubt he was done. That was nothing though in terms of visuals compared to Cain Valasquez absolutely pummeling a bloody Antonio Silva. A couple of solid elbows opened up a gash between Silva’s eyes so bad that he couldn’t see out of them, and eventually he had nothing left to give and it was called a TKO. Everything in between led to a rather anti-climactic finish with Junior Dos Santos landing a second-round TKO to retain his UFC Heavyweight belt, but it was after that fight that the biggest sports betting news of the night broke.

Brock Lesnar, who was on hand in Las Vegas for the event, is reportedly interested in making a return to the UFC under the right circumstances. When asked if Lesnar’s presence meant anything at the post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White grinned and replied, “yes”. Although he has handled a ton of adversity throughout his career, Lesnar would be a huge Bodog draw if he makes a return, and considering the circumstances around his last loss, which was to the now suspended Alistair Overeem, there is no reason for the former champion not to take another shot if he is healthy. Time will tell whether Lesnar ultimately does return or not, but as far as the UFC and its continuing betting sites popularity is concerned, it can only be a good thing for the promotion.

Are The Umpires Held Accountable For Their Actions During MLB Games?


In the world of professional sports, the only men who keep the star athletes in check during a game tend to be the officials. Where the athletes have to talk to the media and explain their actions before and after games, the decisions made by the officials never seem to come into question. But why is that? From a sports betting perspective, officials and in particular umpires should be held accountable for their actions, as much as the athletes. After all, the decisions made by the umpires can affect not only the players in the game, but the bettor at home wagering on the game.

Umpire accountability has been an ongoing issue in the MLB for decades. Over the past month, it seems as though the issue has been raised ten-fold, because of the direct affect the umpire decision has had on a game. For many fans, and athletes alike it appears illogical, as to why the players and coaches are called out on certain plays by the media, yet do the same thing to the umpires and face ridicule from the MLB. Look, we understand that the umpires in every game have the toughest jobs, as they have to make things fair for both teams. However, what we are arguing, is that if an umpire does something blatantly obvious, such as call a ball a strike because they think the player showed them up, or overruled another umpire and allowed a team to rally, they should have to explain their reasoning.

Throughout the years, the issue of umpire accountability has sparked much debate amongst fans and media outlets alike. On the one hand, the aforementioned argument of explaining actions seems justified. Conversely, by holding an umpire accountable, there is a belief that it diminishes the umpire’s role. In other words, if the umpire knows they have to meet with the media after the game, then they may be more inclined to make a bad call, because they feel outside pressure on their job. As a result, the MLB betting online Commissioners office does not require the umpires to talk to the media.

Another issue with umpire accountability is that an automatic fine is charged to any player or coach that criticizes the officials. This isn’t only seen in baseball, as the NBA, NFL, and NHL all have stiff penalties as well for players and coaches that harshly criticize the officials in their leagues. With this being the case, it is rare to see an umpire disciplined for their overreactions but it happens more in baseball then in any of the other sports. For instance, a couple of weeks ago when Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and home plate umpire Bob Davidson were each suspended by the MLB for their actions in a confrontation during a May 17th game. Davidson became the second umpire in five years to be suspended for actions the MLB felt obstructed the game.

But for the two umpires that received suspensions in the last five years, countless officials have made controversial calls without punishment. In many cases, the calls made by the officials can be reconsidered based on instant replay. Nevertheless, the MLB is as stubborn about replay as it is about umpire conferences with the media. For both scenarios, the umpire wins out, because the media and instant replay would second guess the decisions, whether they are right or wrong.
