Will Birdman make his $5 Million Super Bowl wager at BetOnline.com?


Last Wednesday, hip-hop mogul Birdman boasted on Twitter that he planned on betting $5 Million on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Where he was going to place this bet was anyone's guess.

Two days later BetOnline.com announced that they would accept Birdman's wager. All Birdman had to do was sign-up for an account at BetOnline and then post-up the funds in accordance to the gaming laws in Panama City, Panama; where BetOnline is licensed and regulated.

Fast-forward four days and Birdman has gone completely silent on making his record-setting bet at the fastest growing sportsbook in the US.

"We were really expecting to hear from Mr. Birdman," stated Dave Mason from BetOnline. "He makes a habit of boasting about the seven-figure bets he places, but there is never any proof. We are giving him the opportunity to not only win about $4,545,545 if the Patriots cover the three points they are laying to the Giants, but he would also silence all of his critics that claim he actually doesn't place the huge bets."

Once Birdman went into hiding over the weekend, the oddsmakers at BetOnline opened a prop on whether or not he'll even place the wager at BetOnline.

"Monday morning we opened the 'No he won't bet $5 Million at BetOnline' at -700. However, with still not even a chirp from Birdman, in addition to the one-sided 'No' action, we were forced to move the 'No' to -1500. With every bet that comes in opposing Birdman, he loses more and more 'street cred'. Obviously, he isn't serious about getting-down on the Super Bowl."

Don't pull a Birdman for Super Bowl XLVI, head over to BetOnline now and score up to $900.00 worth of free plays. And don't forget to place your Coin Toss wager at the lowest juice possible; bet "heads" or "tails" at +100.

Super Bowl Odds Say Patriots, But Giants Hold Momentum

The New England Patriots hold the slight advantage over the New York Giants when it comes to the Super Bowl betting line, but it's just as important to consider how NFL oddsmakers initially settled on the -3 spread. Though the Pats have been dominant for much of 2011-12, New York won clout with their victory over the Green Bay Packers.

The truth is, although the Patriots have the power of Tom Brady and three Super Bowl victories under their belts already, the Giants have emerged as a force of note in the NFC. For Eli Manning and company the fruitful postseason started with a trouncing of the Atlanta Falcons on Wild Card Weekend, the momentum of which may or may not have been a deciding factor in their performance the next time out.

Regardless of New York's win over Atlanta, however, what they've been most prized for this winter is their dismissing of Aaron Rodgers and reigning champion Green Bay. Can Manning throw another impressive game under the Super Bowl spotlight?

On the other side of the ball the Patriots will kick-off against the Giants with a slightly less impressive, though through no fault of their own. After sitting out of the first game of the postseason with a bye the Pats got to work disposing of Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.

Will New England have gleaned more from their recent victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship than the Giants did from the San Francisco 49ers? Weigh in on the NFL betting line if you think you know how it will all unfold.

NCAA Men's Basketball Betting Previews- No.10 Michigan State Spartans vs. Illinois Fighting Illinois

Pointspread: Michigan State -2

Total Line: 128

The Michigan State Spartans will look to keep pace with Ohio State in the Big Ten standings when they take-on the Illinois Fighting Illini this Tuesday night at Assembly Hall in Champagne. The game is set to tip-off at 7 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

Michigan State finds itself a half game behind the Buckeyes in the standings with a 6-2 straight-up record in Big Ten play. It is 17-4 SU overall and 12-6 against the spread. The Spartans are 4-4 SU (5-3 ATS) on the road this season and the total has gone 3-4-1 in the eight games.

They remain one of the top shooting teams in the nation; hitting 48.6 percent of its shots from the floor and a respectable 36.9 percent from three-point range. Michigan State is averaging 75.7 points a game and has been effective under the boards on both sides of the court with a total of 39.5 rebounds a game.

Illinois comes into this contest in desperate need of a win after dropping its last three games. The latest setback was a 77-72 overtime loss to Minnesota this past Saturday as a 4.5-point road underdog. It is now 15-6 SU overall and 4-4 SU in the conference. The Fighting Illini are 11-1 SU at home, but just 4-6 ATS. The total has gone an even 5-5 in those 10 games.

This will be a tough matchup for Illinois as it is averaging just 67.9 points and 34.4 rebounds a game while shooting 45 percent from the field. It will need a huge effort from Brandon Paul and Meyers Leonard, who have combined for 28 points and 13 rebounds per game this year.

The Spartans are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a SU win and 6-2 ATS in their last eight conference games. The total has gone "over" in eight of their last 12 games overall.

The Fighting Illini are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against the Big Ten. The total has stayed "under" in nine of their last 11 games against a team with a winning record.

Head-to-head in this series, Michigan State is 0-3-1 ATS in the last four meetings and 3-7 ATS in its last 10 trips to Assembly Hall. The total has stayed "under" in seven of the last nine meetings in Illinois. Stick with the Fighting Illini to keep things close enough to cover, but they cannot avoid a fourth straight defeat.

The Pick: Michigan State 72 Illinois 69

NFL Odds Favor Patriots While Giants Relish Super Bowl History

The New York Giants managed to hold on in the NFC Championship Game Sunday night, squeezing past the tough San Francisco 49ers and on into the Super Bowl. It may have taken overtime to do it, but the narrow victory pays fitting tribute to the looming rematch of 2008's title game.

Bet on Super Bowl XLVI with Bovada's NFL odds today.

Don?t have a Bovada account? Join today.

The last time the Giants met the New England Patriots in the league finale, fans and experts alike gave Eli Manning's underdog squad nary a chance. We all know how that played out and it wasn't 18-0.

This time around, expect increased caution on the NFL betting lines as the NFC offering looks as viable as ever. Is New York as perennially feared as Tom Brady and the Pats? Hardly so, but anything can happen in professional football, especially on the game's greatest stage.

Get individual money lines and player props at Bovada's online sportsbook as the newly-appointed conference champions prepare for kick-off. Betting on the Super Bowl has never been more comprehensive.

Think the Giants can pull off another miracle? Convinced Bill Belichick and co. can stave off another catastrophic disappointment? At Super Bowl XLVI fans will see a lot more than a simple rematch of XLII, but a little reminder of history certainly doesn't hurt.

It's All On the Line.

NBA Odds Favor Mavs Against Former Teammate Nash

A Monday night clash in the Western Conference will pit familiar faces against each other on the NBA betting line. Not only have the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns met twice already this season, they make up a classic rivalry built on former teammates. Think you know how the latest Steve Nash-Dirk Nowitzki reunion will unfold?

NBA Back in business.

The biggest stars hit the hardwood.

Bet on the NBA at Bovada.

It's been eight long years since Nash left run-and-gun Dallas to side with his current Suns and the success of the two franchises has ebbed and flowed. Currently it's the Mavericks, last year's champion, who sit higher up on the NBA betting line.

Though Nash's decision to depart was fueled largely by the Mavs' reluctance to pay him top dollar, the move tore apart one of the most intriguing tandems in the league. Sure the Suns have had their success - particularly in the middle of last decade - but there's no denying the lowly state of Phoenix today.

According to Bovada, the Suns have just 150/1 odds of winning the NBA championship, but they'll settle for simply making their way back into the postseason. After dropping their first two matches against Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs, they'll have to work especially hard to win this one.

Is it too late for Nash to take over a franchise and carry it into the postseason? Can he muster the strength to one-up his former squad? If only they had all stayed together we wouldn?t have to choose.

NHL All-Star Odds: Teams Set for Skills Competition and Game Action

The teams for the world's best game of shinny are set and the game is ready for Sunday in Canada's capital city. Team Alfredsson will act as the home team for the game, which may give them the betting edge this year.

Don't have an account? Join now.

There were few surprises in the draft selections. Zdeno Chara and alternate captain Joffrey Lupul took all the available Bruins and Maple Leafs, while Daniel Alfredsson got all the Senators and Canucks in the draft. Alfredsson also took former Sens goalie Brian Elliot and - by way of the last selection - Ottawa 67s alumni Logan Couture.

Alfredsson did put together the younger team. His squad is almost two years junior that of Chara's, and also have much less All-Star Game experience. In fact, Chara's team, with its 14 returnees, has been to 38 ASGs, while Alfredsson's group has 10 first-timers and just 18 games of experience to build on.

The skills competition is set for Saturday night, where the players will compete in six competitions. We'll see who is the fastest skater, who has the most accurate shot, and whether Chara can win his fifth hardest shot competition.

It's a full weekend of action, and Bovada's there with all your NHL player props. Check it out now.

ACC Basketball Preview: North Carolina State Wolfpack vs. No.7 North Carolina Tar Heels

Pointspread: North Carolina -13.5

Total Line: 158

The North Carolina State Wolfpack will look to retain at least a share on the lead in the ACC standings when they go up against their in-state rivals, the North Carolina Tar Heels this Thursday Night at the Dean E. Smith Center. The game is set to tip-off at 7 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

NC State is making its presence felt in the conference this season with an overall record of 15-5 straight-up (8-8 against the spread) and a 4-1 SU start in the ACC. It is coming off an impressive 78-73 victory over Miami (FLA) this past Saturday as a three-point road underdog. It is now 5-1 ATS on the road this season and the total has gone 3-3 in the six games.

The Wolfpack boast five different players scoring in double figures and three shooting better than 52 percent from the field. Overall, the team is averaging 77 points a game and shooting 47.7 percent from the floor.

North Carolina knocked-off Virginia Tech 82-68 last Thursday as a 6.5-point road favorite, but it still has to be stinging from a 90-57 beatdown at the hands of Florida State on Jan.14 as a six-point road favorite. The Tar Heels are now 16-3 SU and 10-8 ATS. They are undefeated at home at 12-0, but just 6-5 ATS. The total has stayed ?under? in seven of the 11 games at home.

The big three of Harrison Barnes, John Henson, and Tyler Zeller have North Carolina ranked first in the nation in both scoring with 85.1 points a game and rebounds with 46.3 a game. These three have combined to provide well over 50 percent of the team's production in both of these categories.

The Wolfpack are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games in the ACC, but 5-0 ATS in their last five games on the road overall. The total has gone ?over? in eight of their last 10 games following a SU win.

The Tar Heels are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games against a team with a winning record on the road and the total has stayed "under" in seven of their last 10 games at home.

The road team in this series is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the total has gone "over" in 11 of the last 15 games. NC State has lost seven of the last eight meetings to the Tar Heels SU, but stick with the Wolfpack to throw a real scare into them this time around.

The Pick: North Carolina 79 North Carolina State 75
