As of last Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were posted as a two-point favorite at home against the Green Bay Packers. But the sports betting market reacted, and there has been a lot of action on the game, so the Vegas odds have moved. The last we looked, the Packers were a one-point road favorite for […]

I am often hesitant to lay much of a price in a fight between two extremely capable people – especially one that is likely to go the distance – because I have been around the sport of boxing long enough to know that anything can happen. And that includes judging that is within the control […]

As far as sports betting is concerned, are you a “sharp” or a “square”? I guess the short answer is that if you have to ask that question of yourself, you’re probably the latter. And it’s probably worthwhile to explain what these terms mean. The term “square” is something that is useful for more of […]

It was quite a scene at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex the other night, as the Los Angeles Lakers were celebrating a return to the winners’ circle as NBA champions. It was actually kind of bizarre, as they were hooting and hollering in front of no one in particular, owing to the absence […]

What needs to be communicated to BetOnline customers this week is that we have seen movement in the Vegas odds over the Houston Texans’ coaching change. Of course, maybe that is not a big surprise. But remember that usually bettors get a little adrenaline over things like this because they expect that players will come […]

No one was disputing that the Buffalo Bills had enough defense to contend in the AFC East. But could they move the ball enough on the offensive end? That was a good question, considering that their quarterback, Josh Allen, was somewhat limited. But now BetOnline patrons can see that he is developing rapidly, and he now has the Bills […]

Unlike their neighbors who occupy the same stadium, the New York Giants can’t really contemplate firing the coach as a way of addressing their ills. After all, Joe Judge is brand-new. And that is distressing in a sense because that would at least be something that had a shot at a solution. How Is the Rams vs […]

We’re two weeks into the season, which means we’ve had enough time to consider “pink slips” for coaches, don’t you think? I mean, shouldn’t Bill Belichick be feeling the heat after that call on the last play against Seattle? Yes, it’s time to play that family fun game, “Sack the Coach.” So without further adieu, […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a longer shot at BetOnline to win the NFC South (+225), now that folks have had a chance to see Tom Brady running the offense. There were some bumps along the way against New Orleans, with Brady tossing two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Then he […]

Indianapolis Colts Understandably, backers of the Indianapolis Colts (+175 to win the AFC South at BetOnline) have to have a few doubts as to what they got themselves with Philip Rivers, who was a cornerstone of their “all-in” approach. Rivers came in having a familiarity with the way head coach Frank Reich designs an offense, […]

As the season approaches, some BetOnline customers (yourself included, we hope) will be examining all the NFL futures bets. And we thought we would take a look at where we are at in all four divisions of the NFC. So without any further delay. Odds to Win NFC East Dallas Cowboys -135Philadelphia Eagles +180New York […]

In this day and age, no team is going to make a run for a Super Bowl title without at least one star playing the wide receiver position. Sometimes the quarterback is so proficient that he makes a star out of the receiver. I would say that is more common than the other way around. […]

When people are betting sports, they are always looking for an edge – somewhere. They’re not necessarily looking for something for nothing, but they are anxious to receive something that represents value relative to what they may be used to. BetOnline is keenly aware of this, and that is one of the basic philosophies behind what […]
