Golf Odds in 2022: Betting Lines on the 4 Major Championships and Updated Masters Trends

By Leave a Comment

A reader confessed yesterday that she's unfamiliar with the "Chevy Show," a now-defunct syndicated thrill ride that somehow thrilled Midwestern kids of the 1980s with special-effects that look laughably primitive now. The Chevy Show's simple formula involved putting the audience behind the wheels of hot … Read More... about Golf Odds in 2022: Betting Lines on the 4 Major Championships and Updated Masters Trends

The Atlanta Hawks and the Philadelphia 76ers played last night and have little time to rest. The Hawks were at home, hosting the Miami Heat, while the 76ers traveled to Orlando to face the Magic.

NCAA Final Four: 2022 Men’s and Women’s Championship Game Betting Picks

By Leave a Comment

WagerBop was wrong to suggest that Baylor's early defeat would be 2022's biggest NCAA Tournament surprise. Final Four favorites Gonzaga and Arizona suffered Sweet Sixteen elimination from Arkansas and Houston respectively, and the Big Ten proved to be as disappointing in March Madness as top seeds from … Read More... about NCAA Final Four: 2022 Men’s and Women’s Championship Game Betting Picks

With the FBS bowl season fast approaching, it's another excuse to bring-up how pigskin gamblers are actually some of the most "wholesome" and "optimistic" sports-watchers out there, in direct defiance of old-fashioned countryside writers who argue that gambling detracts from the audience's genuine sporting … Read More... about College Football Picks in Week 11: LSU Tigers at Arkansas Razorbacks Odds, Spread, and Pac-12 O/U Point Total Wagers

I spend volunteer hours covering High School sports in the autumn, and it's strange that it's one of my least sports-savvy friends who came up with the perfect reason why.

WagerBop's trend of missing weekday football picks and nailing weekend picks has begun to reach epidemic proportions. This week's college slate is a baroque example.

Stanley Cup Playoffs and IIHF Worlds Odds: The Best Bets on a Thrilling Thursday of Pond Hockey

By Leave a Comment

We try to keep our international and professional-sports odds separate here at WagerBop, but the upcoming Thursday of morning, noon, and night-time pond shinny presents a chance for NHL bettors to live-out an incredible day of cheering and winning with more than a single tournament. Of course, it also provides the "opportunity" for puck-following gamblers to be wrung out, … [Read more...] about Stanley Cup Playoffs and IIHF Worlds Odds: The Best Bets on a Thrilling Thursday of Pond Hockey

Sports are like politics in that if a subject is careful to keep her opinion from getting pigeonholed, there's always someone to come along and do it anyway. Take the last dozen years of American football as example. If you think Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick were misused, misunderstood, and brave fore-runners of Lamar Jackson's powerful modern-day NFL option game, then you … [Read more...] about 2022 IIHF World Championship: 16 Team Preview, Gold Medal Odds, Roster Updates, and Picks

2022 Winter Olympics: Men’s Ice Hockey Preview, Rosters, Odds, and Gold Medal Prediction

By 1 Comment

In hindsight, the Great NHL Olympics Debate of 2021-22 was akin to 2 guys arguing over a jug of water prior to the Biblical deluge. National Hockey League brass and NHLPA representatives made no secret of their conflicted interests as the players' association pushed for 2022 Winter Olympics participation, and NHL owners griped in public but nevertheless made plans to go-along … [Read more...] about 2022 Winter Olympics: Men’s Ice Hockey Preview, Rosters, Odds, and Gold Medal Prediction

Fans of international pond shinny have gone from giddy to glum in a short few weeks. The NHL's green light of NHLPA involvement in the Winter Olympics gives the IOC's flagging Men's Ice Hockey brand a potentially huge boost, and yet Beijing's bad PR and worse timing could lead to bizarre roster scenarios for national teams.

4/23/21 Update: Well, well. It would appear that either WagerBop is cursing the women's international field, or we just know exactly the wrong time to put out IIHF predictions.  The Women's World Championship was cancelled just a day after an expansive 2021 IIHF WWC preview below was posted on the blog, echoing all-too-well what happened in 2019, when our preview was … [Read more...] about Updated: News and Developments in the 2021 IIHF Women’s World Championships

I try not to publish WagerBop predictions less than 24 hours from kickoff (or puck-drop) due to the blog-traffic factor. Even the site's most-popular pages aren't clicked-on by a million people at once. (There aren't that many sports-gambling aficionados in the world, but at least they hail from all over.)

I've avoided making sports-predictions in public over the past few months, for reasons that will be spelled out in an upcoming NCAA football preview. For now, suffice to say that WagerBop is not a "square-gambling" publication, and has no plans to become one. 2020 has changed just about everything when it comes to 'capping teams and championships, and I had to test-out a few … [Read more...] about 2021 World Junior Championship: Odds, Predictions, Prop Bets, and Gold Medal Pick
