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.
