With the 2008 Summer Olympics just several weeks away, sports gamblers are starting to pay a little more attention to the lines being offered by various sportsbooks. While the Olympics remain popular in the United States, the games don’t cause near the excitement in the states that they do in other countries. As a result, sports bettors should be able to find fair prices on many of the U.S. entries.
The United States hasn’t fared too well in men’s basketball recently, but this year’s team appears to be the best one sent out in quite some time. If the team can work together, something which several of the biggest stars, such as Kobr Bryant, LeBron James, and Dwayne Wade have been stressing, the only thing that should be determined in Beijing is which country wins the silver medal.

Looking at the current odds from Olympic Sportsbook:

USA -325
Spain +465
Argentina +1415
Lithuania +2550
Russia +2550
Field +2050

It’s easy to see the only real competition the United States is expected to receive comes from Spain, but a motivated United States team should be able to dispose of Spain.

Typically, laying such odds as -325 is asking for trouble and is something I’ll almost always argue against, but in this case it appears to make sense. The U.S. has been embarrassed in international play several times in recent years, and this team looks like the one to make some amends.

USA Olympic Women’s Team

While the U.S. men’s team looks to be a decent bet, an even better one is to take the USA women’s team, even though the price is slightly higher.
Looking at current odds from Olympic Sportsbook:
USA -365
Australia +385
Russia +1015
Field +1615
Again, just one team is given much of a chance to defeat the United States, this time it’s Australia, but the US has been dominant in the Olympics, capturing the last three gold medals. Women’s basketball was introduced at the 1976 Olympic Games, and the US women have won five golds, one silver and one bronze, while posting a 42-3 record during that span. With players such as Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker, Diana Taurasi, Cappie Pondexter, and Katie Smith, the US women’s team should be able to breeze past the opposition.

Both US teams are solid favorites, and deservedly so. Barring a major upset, both should also return from China with gold medals.

On July 26th, at the MGM Grand Garden, Las vegas, Miguel Cotto gets back in the ring, to face off with Antonio Margarito  in what figures to be one of the most interesting fight for online boxing bettors. The WBA Welterweight Champ, Miguel Cotto is the -175 odds favorite against the IBF Welterweight champ, Margarito.

Cotto, the undefeated WBA champion from Puerto Rico, will headline a Las Vegas card for the first time when he meets IBF champion Margarito at the MGM Grand Garden. Miguel Cotto (32-0, 26 KO’s) of Caguas, Puerto Rico has been skillfully managed, and not only built up his record and confidence, but actually gave him the incremental.

Cotto is not the biggest puncher but he punches hard. He’s a boxer mostly and uses footwork and timing to move in and out of his opponents range and work his offense in rhythmic spurts. He’s a serious tough guy and has demonstrated the ability to over come adversity, particularly in the controversial De Marcus Corley fight back in 2005, when Cotto was still campaigning at Jr. Welter.

Start betting in this great fight now and enjoy BetUS $75 Welcome Bonus.

Antonio Margarito (36-5, 26 KO’s) hails from Tijuana Mexico and at five feet eleven inches tall, he’s pretty big for a welterweight. He’s a brawler with sneaky power in both hands and has a damn good chin. Margarito is pure warrior—a “fighter.” Margarito likes attacking the body and keeping up the kind of pressure that takes opponents out of their game plan and into his favorite fashion of fisticuffs; the brawl.

If you like “sluggers” Margarito is your kind of fighter. He doesn’t talk nonsense and he doesn’t care about trying to speak English, he speaks his language in the ring. Margarito is not the most polished boxer, but his boxing skills are good. He is a natural slow starter, who often boxes for the first few rounds to figure you out. That is the place where he is vulnerable. Margarito is tough and has never been knocked out, even though he’s lost five fights since turning pro in circa 1994.

Boxing online wagers take Cotto as favourite to beat Margarito by decision.  But I’d take a chance and bet on Margarito winning by KO.  Check all Cotto vs Margarito final result odds.

Every season, there are surprise teams, a good bettor should have the ability to know where to pick one of the lucrative teams, and when to stay away from those you can’t bet on. It’s not as simple as checking daily baseball betting lines. This MLB season American League has been leaps and bounds better than the National League overall. Eight of the 14 AL teams boast a +.500 record or better, while the NL has just six of its 16 representatives owning a winning overall mark.

..And the best MLB teams are

1) Minnesota Twins (53-42) (+$1689.00) No matter what the Twins do to its roster during the off-season, this club always seems to be in the thick of the AL Central race. They’ve racked up a bulk of their wins and earnings at home (32-18 +$1443), but have also showed a penchant for competing on the road where they’re 21-24 overall reeling in $246 of profit for the MLB betting public.

2) Texas Rangers (50-46) (+$1397.00) The Texas Rangers have been an underdog bettors dream throughout the first half of the 2008 season. they’ve reeled MLB bettors in close to $1400 on the year simply due to the fact that they take care of business on the road.

3) Florida Marlins (50-45) (+$1377.00) The Marlins brass knew exactly what they were doing when they unloaded a pair of superstars this past off-season. They’re the third highest grossing ball club bringing in close to $1400 on the season.

4) Tampa Bay Rays (55-39) (+$1274.00) The Tampa Bay Rays are still the best story in baseball this 2008 MLB season. Their pitching, speed, and defense has kept them in the AL East race.

Worst MLB teams list

1) San Diego Padres (37-58) (-$2421.00) This club just can’t seem to do anything right. Petco Park used to be a huge advantage for them, but that hasn’t been the case in ‘08. They currently stand seven-games under .500 at 23-30 overall and have cost MLB betting fans a lofty $1252.

2) Cleveland Indians (41-53) (-$2412.00) Their MLB odds to win the AL Central was second worst in line to only the Detroit Tigers at the start of the season, but this club just couldn’t hold up to the pre-season predictions.

3) Seattle Mariners (37-58) (-$2097.00) They’ve proven to be the worst home bet in all of baseball evidenced by the $1343 they’ve cost their betting backers, and they’re in the red on the road as well dropping 31 of its 49 road games (-$754).

2008 Nascar cup betting continues this week at Illinois with the 2008 LIfeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday July 12th. The race at Chicagoland hasn’t been going on for too long, the first race was held in 2001. In the 7 races here only 2 drivers have been able to walk away win twice on this track, Kevin Harvick who won the first 2 races at this event, and defending champion Tony Stewart. Both Stewart and Harvick are battling it out for the 12 spot.

Read 2008 Nascar LifeLock.com odds and analysis about who could win this race.

Kyle Busch 6/1 odds.
There is no question that this guy has been the best driver this season. As it looks right now this guy is going to run away with this thing and be crowned your 2008 Sprint Cup Points Champion. Busch has yet to win here, and if he does it will be win number 7 on the season.

Start Betting on 2008 Nascar now!

Carl Edwards 7/1 odds.
Edwards is a real threat this weekend, as he is not only coming off a 3rd place finish here at Chicagoland a year ago, he is coming off a great 2nd place finish last weekend at the Coke Zero 400. Edwards looks safe at the 4th spot in the point standings and we wouldn’t be surprised if he gets even closer to the top this weekend.

Jimmie Johnson 7/1 odds.
Johnson always race well here at Chicagoland in his career, as he hadn’t finished worse than 6th since first racing here in 2002. Johnson still wound up leading the 2nd most laps that weekend, and its only a matter of time before this guy wins this race. Johnson has yet to really get it going this season, and a win here could be the start of his run at a 3rd straight championship season.
