Daily Sports Betting Pick – July 10
July 10, 2009
If you’re looking for a free UFC 100 fight card contest, follow the preceding link for a no-strings attached contest. All you do is pick the fighters, round and way they win (DQ, TKO, etc.).
Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar
UFC 100 odds: Lesnar -275
Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar square off at UFC 100 but it’s pretty hard to see Mir coming away with the win. Lesnar dominated the first match, lost because of a rookie mistake, has improved his defense and MMA skills significantly since then.
Mir’s path to victory has to be a submission but we all know that Lesnar will be far more aware of that game this time around.
Pick: Lesnar -275
Daily Sports Betting Pick – July 2nd
July 2, 2009
Take a break from the racebook and make some tennis picks with me. Will it be the final everyone wants to see?
Wimbledon Odds: Roger Federer vs Tommy Haas & Andy Murray vs Andy Roddick
Roger Federer has to be careful with Tommy Haas, who nearly outed him at the French Open a couple of weeks ago. Meanwhile, Andy Murray should have an easy time with Andy Roddick, who is inconsistent and has mostly made it to this point because of an easy draw. Roddick will be a bit tired as well after a five-set match with Lleyton Hewitt. Look for it to be the dream final everyone wants to see as Murray and Federer advance.
Pick: Federer & Murray to advance to the final
The price per head for the Bengals will go down as people realize they are a sleeper.

Since nobody is really in the bet horses mood (since the Triple Crown is done, let’s bet on some early NFL futures:
NFL Odds: Cincinnati Bengals Over 6.5
Cincinnati Bengals had a rough year last year but you add their two best players into the equation – Chad Ochocinco and Carson Palmer – and all of this you’ve got a team. The defense should also be solid as Keith Rivers missed most of his rookie year, which means the team is adding basically two first-round picks now. This team might not be great but they’ll be 8-8.
Pick: Over 6.5 Wins
The price per head for the Bengals will go down as people realize they are a sleeper.

Everyone is on the hunt through their best online sportsbook for all the NFL furutres which are finally posted, but for now let’s stick with Wimbledon. NFL is still a month away.
Wimbledon Odds: Roger Federer +110
Now that Rafael Nadal is out of the way at Wimbledon, it becomes Roger Federer’s show. There really isn’t a whole lot of competition for Federer outside of maybe Juan Martin Del Potro or Andy Murray, but nobody takes either of them seriously. Even so, Federer will have one big unexpected scare at Wimbledon. If he can handle it, he’ll win it with ease.
Pick: Federer +110
The price per head for Federer has gone down but he’s still the pick.

US Open 2009 Odds are the main focus for this week but rain has put a damper on Round One. Check back tomorrow for more updates as they try to fit in two rounds of golf.
Golf Odds: Tiger Woods +190
Pick: Woods +190
The price per head value for the golfers isn’t equal here so look for an underdog. We’re forced to overpay for Tiger.

US Open 2009 Odds are the main focus for this week. It’s hard to argue with Tiger Woods winning it but there isn’t any value not betting him.
Sports book lines: US Open Odds
Golf Odds: Tiger Woods +190
There isn’t much value betting Woods this weekend. He’s a huge favorite and the public is all over him. At the same time, sometimes you pay for a brand name because it is simply better quality. That’s the case here with Woods as I’m more comfortable backing him on this impossible course, where he has won before, opposed to betting someone else who may or may not really have a chance to win.
Pick: Woods +190
The price per head value for the golfers isn’t equal here so look for an underdog. We’re forced to overpay for Tiger.
