Updated All Star Odds

I’m currently watching the All Star Homerun Derby… and I have the odds of the 2008 MLB All Star Game!

The odds are from BoDog.

National League All Stars +1½ (-155) +125
American League All Stars -1½ (+135) -145

The over under is 10 runs.

Personally, I think that the American League is a great bet. They haven’t lost in 10 years, and they have a lot of quality closers on the roster. I would bet them either on the run line or the money line… I think that I’m going to bet the money line though… I don’t mind paying a little more for a run and a half.

Away, I’m going to go and watch the rest of the Homerun Derby. No football talk today!

Good Luck and thanks for stopping by!

MLB All-Star Betting

So the MBL All-Star Game is a “Super Bowl like event”. At least that’s what MBL is trying to do in NYC this week. With the All-Star FanFest, Homerun Derby, the parade, and all the other events that are planned in New York this week above and beyond the All-Star Game, baseball has really trying to turn this into a week long celebration of America’s favorite past time. All I think they’re doing it. This event is great of the game and great for NYC.

So after all the hype around the All-Star game, I had to look at betting it online. I usually just bet football and the Super Bowl online, but what the hell, I can put a bet on one of baseball’s most exciting week. Unfortunately no odds are posted yet for this game since the teams haven’t been finalized yet. If you want to bet this game, I would look for the betting lines to come out tomorrow or the next day.

The American League will be heavily favored, and they should be. With the closer talent that they are bring to the All-Star game, I’m expecting them not to give up a single run for the 5th inning on. So basically, the AL has 4 or 5 more innings of at bats to score runs, and they shouldn’t have much of a problem.

Betting stats show that the American League has dominated the All-Star game recently. In the last 10 games, thay are 9-0-1 with the only All-Star game tie in history in 02.

4 of the last 6 All-Star games betting results have gone over the total, 14 runs in 02, 13 in 03, 13 in 04 and 12 in 05. The 06 game ended 3-2 and last year score was 5-4.

Eli Manning hasn’t changed

Payton Manning has said that his brother’s Super Bowl wins last year hasn’t changed him. Interesting. Lets take a quick look at Eli’s last year…

Eli Manning won a Super Bowl, the biggest game in the NFL. This is a major accomplishment and something that he will always be known for. His football career and legacy has already been made as he will always be a Super Bowl winning quarterback. How will this effect his confidence next year? I think it goes up. His press will be better, and even though he says that he doesn’t read his own press (and that’s a great thing), other people do and often judge him on what they read. So his press will be better, he’ll get more respect from reporters and fans, and he already has 1 ring to fall back on.

Eli Manning got married this offseason. That’s right. The guy was single, won the Super Bowl, and still married his college sweatheart. You’ve got to respect that… I think. Either he is really smart, and they are happy for the rest of their lives. OR he is a complete idiot, they be divorced in 10 years, and Eli missed out on some great pussy getting years. Especially this summer.

He won the Super Bowl! He can walk into any bar in NYC and get laid in a matter of minutes. Well, I hope he’s happy, and yeah, I guess he didn’t change in this respect.

Eli also visited the White House (with the rest of the Giants), golfed at St. Andrews and went to Louisiana this week to take part in the same football camp his family has hosted for 13 years. Yeah, not much change there either…

214 days until the next Super Bowl

Wow. writing the number of days really makes me realize how far away the Super Bowl really is… Damn why am I even writing about it? it’s over 200 days away!

Anyway, I figure I can at least talk about super bowl bets and odds.

Currently the Odds for Super Bowl XLIII are down at BoDog? That sucks! Now I don’t know what I’m going to write…

Anyway, the last I looked, I thought that the Dallas Cowboys were a good bet to win the big game. I also read today that some people wouldn’t be surprised if the San Diego Charges won the Super Bowl… Betting on them is currently at +750. Not too bad.

Why would the Chargers win… well, the underlying reason was that the AFC is stronger than the NFC. The Chargers are a strong team in the AFC and have a good shot at winning the conference, and then of course the AFC will beat the NFC in the NFL Super Bowl… That’s a lot of acronyms.

Anyway, if you don’t agree with that rational, I wouldn’t blame you. I don’t think it’s very sound. I’m not betting the Chargers, and I’m not too sure that the AFC is better than the NFC. Hello New York Giants.

Anyway, not much else to write. I’m probably be back soon, but with 214 days left until Super Bowl XLIII, you knows :O)

I’ve been neglecting the “Bet the NFL Super Bowl” site

And I can’t say that is going to stop. I mean it’s summer time and months away from the regular NFL season and more than 6 months away from the Super Bowl. How much Football can a guy write in the off season? Well thank god for Dom “dumb ass” Imus.

On this morning’s show, Imus & Co. were discussing suspended Dallas Cowboys corner back Adam “Pacman” Jones, who wants to drop his nickname. During the segment, one of his cohorts (perhaps Warner Wolfe?) tells Imus that Jones has “been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005.” Asks Imus: “What color is he?” Response: “He’s African-American.” You know where this is going.Concludes Imus: “Well, there you go. Now we know.”

Haha. Gotta love good old boy Imus for being the stupid racist that he is. I guess going up during slavery will do that to ya. I mean is the guy senile or what. It was less than a year ago that he got kicked off the air for saying racist sh!t about the Rutgers girls Basketball team and now he’s back saying more garbage…

Anyway, I don’t know why so many people care, and I can’t believe that that many people listen. I mean Howard Stern says a lot worse things on the air, probably to more listeners, and no one says boo. Old ass Imus says 2 remarks and it;s front page news… what a weird f-ed up world we live it.

Anyway, Pacman will always be Pacman to me… and probably the rest of the sports world as well. Sorry Jones, you don;t have the juice like Puffy does to just up and change your name and have people listen. Too bad, too sad you yellow pie chart looking thing (reference to the original Pacman).

Does the NFL cheat like the NBA?

I remember watching Super Bowl XL (Seahawks vs Steelers) and thinking that the game was rigged by the NFL. That was the day that I started doubting that the NFL was really a pure football league where players and coaches decided the outcome of games. I started to think that the NFL was more for show, like the WWE or Boxing.

I know that I’m not the only one that lost a little faith in the NFL that day. Fans were outraged the next day on bulliten boards across the internet and talk radio shows across the country. The Seahawks own coach said that they did not lose to the Steelers, they lost to the refs.

So how can the refs decide the fate of the Super Bowl and there be no repercussions? Probably because the right team won. The team the NFL wanted to win. The Steelers with the pride and history, in the Bus’s last year, winning as a underdog all through the playoffs. The team with the better market and the better story.

Since then, I’ve picked up on things I’ve heard around the league. Chad Johnson for instances saying the he is not a football player. That he hasn’t played football since college. Now he is an entertainer.

A guy I know is a sports writer for a major paper, and he tells me that all sports are fixed. Not just boxing. Not just the NBA or the NFL. All sports like hockey, like baseball, like soccer. Now I know he has to be generalizing. I’m sure that the World Cup isn’t fixed, and I’m sure that most sports games aren’t fixed, but I can see what he is talking about.

It makes me lose a little faith in the games that I watch, but if you can decide who the NFL wants to win the Super Bowl each year, and bet the right way, you could probably make some good money.

Slow NFL news day…

but everyday is in the off season.

Jerry Jones is building a new stadium and spending a lot of money. yawn.

Carson Palmer said the he is going to show up to the Cincinnati Bengals’ training camp. Good. That’s what he should do. And does this really surprise anyone?

Sunday night football games (not including the Super Bowl, but I bet this fits in the same category) are the least DVRed big ratings show on TV. Meaning that a lot of people tune in and they don’t record the game to watch later, they watch it live. Well this is good news for the NFL and it’s advertisers. Odds are people watch more adds during these games that during American Idol or other prime time shows. Now you can see why the NFL started the Sunday night game. Of course it sucks on the East Coast… Especially if you start drinking during the 1 pm games.

The Super Bowl kinda sucks on the East Coast too. It’s the biggest game of the year, and everyone goes out to watch it… But most people have work on Monday. I really wish that the NFL would move the Super Bowl up to 4 pm or so.  This would still be 1 pm on the West Coast and it might be a little early for Hawaii and Alaska, but who gives a shit about those places? Trust me NFL, move the Super Bowl up a few hours and the East Coast would appreciate it.

That are still talking about legalizing sports betting in New Jersey. If you would like them too, please email you congressmen and ask that they support legalizing sports betting country wide…

But Sen. Jeff Van Drew, D-Cape May, said a conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court could favor states’ rights.

“It is very difficult to understand how sports book could technically be legal in four states but not in 46 others,” Van Drew said.

Another day, another hangover

Went out drinking last night with some people that were in town. I like drinking and eating and partying on the weekends, but it really kills my Sundays. I lay on the couch all day and don’t feel like doing anything. In fact writing this post is probably the most productive thing that I’ve done all day, and it’s after 8pm…

Anyway, I just checked my ranking and links on yahoo, and this site is back on the first page for – Bet the Super Bowl – Yeah! It’s been a while, but I’ll take this as a good sign, and keep working on and writing on this site. After all, it looks like I’m getting a few more links, which is encouraging.

Tampa Bay signed Jemery Stevens, but are tying to cover up his criminal record. On their message boards, they will now ban anyone talking about or linking to records of his past criminal history. Stevens has been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, marijuana possession, sexual assault and drunk driving. Not a clean a background…

Talking NFL Football and the more Super Bowl stuff

Yes, sir. I’m back again tonight. I just ordered a Tuna Melt, so I’m going to write until it comes. I guess the length of this post all depends on the chefs and delivery boy at my local deli.

So in Football news Javon Walker now loves the Denver Broncos vs Oakland Raiders rivalry. It seems a little late in his career to just get this, huh? Maybe he finally likes it now because Oakland sucks. Although they have sucked for years, but it doesn’t look like they will be turning it around this year.

Speaking of the Raiders, Michael Bush (one of their 200 running backs) has now fully healed and is read to lose 5 yards a carry regularly this year. That is until he is injured in week 5… and they cut next year.

Senator Arlen Specter is still going nuts about Spygate… now… after the 2007 season ended… and the New England Patriots played in the Super Bowl… It seems a little late to have his panties all twisted, but hey, I guess he hates Boston. I think most people do.

Personally, I would love to see Spygate blow the hell up. Senate investigations about how the Patriots were cheating when they won all those Super Bowls. Bill Belichick disgraced and run out of the NFL for life. Tom Brady losing endorsements. The news! The fanfare! The hoopla about some REAL cheating. Some REAL cheating that isn’t about drugs or mistresses. God, that scandal would be fun.

I could be like Michael Vick all over again. Bloggers would go nuts. There would be Youtube videos made. The sports talk shows would go crazy. Every team that lost the Super Bowl to the Patriots would demand that they be compensated. Players on these teams would look for more money. Some might sue. It would be a disaster for the NFL, and I’m sure that that is why they are covering it up as best they can. I sure hope that that Senator blows this thing up!

My damn phone was ringing and I thought it was my food… not yet, but I think I’m going to stop writing anyway… I know, I know, I’m such a liar. But I’m sitting here with no pants on… not like that I just took my work clothed off any haven’t…

Check that. Now my food is here. Peace.
