Wait, I have been seeing MLS matches pretty much for the past few weeks... Or am I just imagining it? Had no idea they were just starting, or was I looking at friendly or pre seasons?

Really need to pay more attention to that league... Notice the betting markets are more and more prominent now on SB.

Having checked the teams standing it looks like they have been playing for weeks. Top teams have records of 13-6.
So maybe just didn't notice them before since there was La Liga, Serie A, EPL and Bundesliga every weekend to look forward to place a wager on.

Since there are some familiar faces now playing for the league from other European teams, it does make it a sort of fantasy scenario now.
With Messi moving to Inter Miami and playing there it is more of a spectacle now then watching it soley for the game.

He is planned to start taking the pitch in July so maybe that is why I thought it was a late start for a soccer season to begin playing.

NBA Draft is happening tomorrow night so get yourself up to spec with what markets to look out for and who is likely chosen to go first!
With Damon Lillard looking to leave the Portland TrailBlazers expect them to look for a player to replace him in the lineup so for the draft they will more than likely go for a point guard.

The salary cap has increased for teams for next season as well. This is the reason why I have included the statistics below just as an example of why teams are looking to offload older players even if they are franchise making ones for a new breed who are alot cheaper and can mold into what they want for their team environment.
Here is a screen capture I took of what his salary has looked like during his career.



Odds for the NBA Draft are at the following link:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba-draft/nba-draft-2023-6490f01c0c88762201b516ec

It was a crucial moment for the Portland Trailblazers for Damian Lillard to leave them it was a difficult moment for them and making a big team of their own, For me the Portland Trailblazers will have a difficult time but if their newbie can get into it like what the Utah Jazz did I think they can make out with something that they got right now and right now Damian Lillard grew tired on waiting for his teammates to grow he likely want a ring for himself and by doing this he needs to be on a team that is sure to get it,


Right now this is my bet for today's game of the WNBA, there is 1 available game right now

Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever

The odds for this game are 1.06 for the Aces and 7.40 for the Fever, for this game Riquna Williams is the only injury for the Aces and is unable to play for them while Bernadett Hatar is suspended for the Fever and can not play for the Indiana Fever, and Grace Berger is questionable if she can play for the Indiana Fever, all prediction and speculation that I have seen the winning team will be the Las Vegas Aces and the odds was pretty much larger for the Las Vegas Aces so there is not a chance for the Fever to simply win so my though for this game I think my pick is the Las Vegas Aces and my bet will be Las Vegas Aces winning the 1st quarter for this game,

The Portland Trailblazers can not afford to get heavy guns right now and their main offensive will now leave for sure Damian Lillard's talent is wasted with the Trailblazers he needs a more suitable team for him to grow and likely get a ring for himself I don't know if he chooses the Miami Heat of the Miami Heat chooses him, but I really wish he has gotten into the Golden State Warriors and be a substitute for Stephen Curry instead of getting Chris Paul, I would like Damian Lillard to be Stephen Curry's tandem of he is not in the court well wishful thinking for me,


Anyway I got a bet for the WNBA on their game today and for me, this is going to be a one-sided game for sure

Las Vegas Aces (1.06) vs Indiana Fever (7.40)

The event will be at the Mandalay Bay Events Center home of the Las Vegas Aces, the current defending champion for the WNBA, Right now Riquna Williams has a back injury and can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, while Bernadett Hatar is Suspended and can not play for the Indiana Fever, Grace Berger has an ankle injury and is questionable if she is able to play for today's game right now we all know what the Las Vegas Aces can do and they are pretty much dominant in every team they face, it is not really good placing a small bet if you are going with the Aces, but if you likely want to risk on the underdog that is likely suicide for sure but you can at least try but my bet for this game is for the Las Vegas Aces on the 1st quarter of the game they will win it, and placing a huge Sum for it,

[jakelyson]

The Portland Trailblazers can not afford to get heavy guns right now and their main offensive will now leave for sure Damian Lillard's talent is wasted with the Trailblazers he needs a more suitable team for him to grow and likely get a ring for himself I don't know if he chooses the Miami Heat of the Miami Heat chooses him, but I really wish he has gotten into the Golden State Warriors and be a substitute for Stephen Curry instead of getting Chris Paul, I would like Damian Lillard to be Stephen Curry's tandem of he is not in the court well wishful thinking for me,

For me I want Damian Lillard to go with the Miami Heat, surely the tandem with Jimmy Butler will be a great thing to see but for sure there is also a catch to this Jimmy Butler can also get some rest or both players can play separately when Jimmy Butler is playing he can surely push pressure on any team then when Damian Lillard will be the one that is playing he will likely be the one that is pressuring the opponent I think this is a viable operation for him.


My Picks for the WNBA game for today

Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever

The Las Vegas Aces will be having a game against the Indiana Fever, at Mandalay Bay Events Center right now the key Injury for the Las Vegas Aces is Riquna Williams (back) out and can not play for the Aces, while the Key injuries for Indiana Fever, Bernadett Hatar (Suspension) out and can not play for the Fever and Grace Berger (ankle) is questionable if she can play for the Indiana Fever, for this game for sure the Las Vegas Aces will still be the dominant team in this game and for this game, the stake odds for this game are 1.05 for the Aces and 7.60 for the Fever, I think I will bet for the Las Vegas Aces with the 1st quarter win for them,

[danherbias07]

I like that pick @jakelyson but I am going for a different way and I hope it can hit since it's more profitable.

Combo: Las Vegas Aces & Over 171.5

I don't want to risk it with Indiana Fever although the odds are kind of inviting. They are 5th on the WNBA Eastern Conference which is 2nd to the bottom and I have seen the Aces play like they are now the heavyweights of the league.
Covering the Over 171.5 may be the hardest part of my bet. I just wish the Fever could make it a close game so that the total points could at least be higher. Expecting A'ja Wilson's monster game again for the Aces. Damn, how I really wish they could start adding player props for these ladies.  

[rdbase]

Put in a try while waiting for some of the usual tournaments to start in the dog days of summer and now is the time to start with Wimbledon.
Women's tournament begins the early matches with the lower ranked players on the tour in these qualifiers.
Here are the markets as the first match starts in less than 5 minutes:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/tennis/wta/wimbledon-women-singles/matches

The men's side should resume tomorrow with their qualifiers as the markets look like they will within 24 hours:

I have no idea about the U21 EURO teams, but I still took the specials they offered earlier today since they're most likely boosted odds, and it somehow came through. 

Then I rolled my small winnings on Guadeloupe's +2.5 handicap after seeing the odds slowly dwindle before kick-off. I guess betting on these unusual matches is slightly better than baseball and tennis. 

[YuginKadoya]

I've seen you two have followed me with my pick but unfortunately, it was a bit lost even though the Las Vegas Aces won that game in the 1st quarter it was a lost bet for us, I should have gone with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter next time I bet hehe maybe I would get many corrected bet that way, but that is if the team that will play against the Las Vegas Aces will not be the Connecticut Sun, but it was really not a problem at all, and like I have said it was a risky bet to get into the Indiana Fever,

I like that pick @jakelyson but I am going for a different way and I hope it can hit since it's more profitable.

Combo: Las Vegas Aces & Over 171.5

I don't want to risk it with Indiana Fever although the odds are kind of inviting. They are 5th on the WNBA Eastern Conference which is 2nd to the bottom and I have seen the Aces play like they are now the heavyweights of the league.

The Las Vegas Aces is really that mighty of a team I guess if their opponent is the Connecticut Sun there could be a chance but there is only a probability for them winning against them, and that will be a very hard game to predict I really am excited in what's going to happen with that game, I might get tempted to try and bet for the Connecticut Sun,

but other than the Connecticut Sun I also see the New York Liberty in a different light now, they might have some guts in making a win with these top teams right now,


We got 2 games for tomorrows game here are my picks,

Washington Mystics VS Atlanta Dream

Chicago Sky VS Los Angeles Sparks

[rdbase]

Placed a bet earlier on Chicago Sky to beat them but then cashed out after they were down early on in the 1st quarter. They were always trailing except for near the end of the 3rd.
They did end up winning so it looks like we both lost on our bets @YuginKadoya.

It seems the women's side is a bit more difficult to gauge than the men's side of the exact same sport.
As Chicago was on a long losing streak when they finally beat L.A Spark which were statistically going to win this game, on paper. With so many injured on Chicago as you had mentioned in your post and their bench players out there they managed to beat the better team.

Think I will stick to the NBA instead. My three match losing streak in this league had me done with this.
Sorry @YuginKadoya on dissing your WNBA picks for this particular league.
But it certainly isn't for me.

What did you do?!!!  I did not watch the game so you must be awake when it's happening that's why you cashed out.

I got lucky winning both games.


My early bets didn't go so well too because I have been trying to find out how the teams are ever since trades happened and some roster changes.
Now, I am doing well, I think I am on a good winning streak while some are on a split.
You don't have to give it up. I think waiting for the top seeds to play will be the key here. Washington Mystics, Las Vegas Aces, Connecticut Sun, New York Liberty. These four teams, as long as they won't play against each other the lines will be easy to predict. And, they mostly cover the spreads too.

In my case, it's the over-and-under score that is more unpredictable. I cannot predict the right amount of score a team could get unlike what we have in the NBA. It's easy when you know an offensive team will be playing.

[owengtam09]

My bets for today's game and because it is the end of the season for the NBA I think we still have a WNBA to surely make a bet and enjoy, so Goodluck!

Las Vegas Aces (1.33) VS New York Liberty (3.05)

The event will be at Michelob ULTRA Arena, home for the Las Vegas Aces, right now Riquna Williams has a back injury, and still can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, while Stefanie Dolson has an ankle injury and can not play for the New York Liberty, for this game we all know that the Las Vegas Aces will surely win this one they have the most track record of winning a game, agaisnt many teams the Aces is very solid for sure but they can not underestimate the New York Liberty because this team has also improved so much, for me I am pretty much bullish with the Aces winning this game



Seattle Storm (1.67) VS Minnesota Lynx (2.08)

The event will be at Climate Pledge Arena, home for the Seattle Storm, right now Jordan Horston has a shoulder injury, and can not play for the Storm, while Natalie Achonwa has a personal problem, Aerial Powers has an ankle injury, Jessica Shepard has an Illness, and Tiffany Mitchell has a wrist injury and all girls can not play for the Minnesota Lynx, for this game, the Minnesota Lynx has a great position now, but because of their injuries I think their rotation will be affected because of it, but still risking it with the underdog for this game so my pick is the Minnesota Lynx,



Phoenix Mercury (2.13) VS Indiana Fever (1.64)

The event will be at Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Mercury, right now Skylar Diggins-Smith has a personal problem, and is out and can not play for the Mercury, Megan Gustafson has a Concussion, Shey Peddy has an Achilles injury, and Sophie Cunningham has a back injury, and all of them are questionable if they can play for the Indiana Fever, while the Indiana Fever doesn't have any injuries right now so I am pretty much Bullish with that, so my pick for this game is the Indiana Fever,

Sorry @YuginKadoya on dissing your WNBA picks for this particular league.
But it certainly isn't for me.

Well, if this is your 1st time with the WNBA it is really hard to settle for a win at 1st when I was starting to know the teams and players in their last season I was getting losses on my bets, 1st I just access on who's going to win by looking at the injuries and possible players that can not play then the standings then making a pick but not engage with betting, and when I think I got good progress with my results and the further I am doing it I have gained understanding on the WNBA even further,

But don't worry about it well for me we can not make a comparison between the NBA and the WNBA because it is a very different league and we can not have any expectation that we will enjoy the WNBA much more than our enjoyment by watching the NBA, for me well I can not blame them for not enjoying the WNBA because I got those same reactions back then, and I completely understand that,


Here are my bets for today's game and any minute now the game will surely start,

Las Vegas Aces VS New York Liberty - 1st Quarter win bet

The odds for this game are 1.33 for the Aces and 3.05 for the Liberty, and right now Riquna Williams can not play for the Aces while Stefanie Dolson can not play for the Liberty, for this game, the Las Vegas Aces is pretty much dominant in any way but they can not be so comfortable with the New York Liberty right now because they surely tend to surprise a team if the slack, but for this game, my pick is the Las Vegas Aces, pretty much they also got a good odds, not a regrettable bet and will add on a 1st quarter win for the Las Vegas Aces aswell,

Seattle Storm VS Minnesota Lynx

The odds for this game are 1.67 for the Storm and 2.08 for the Lynx, and right now Jordan Horston can not play for the Storm while Natalie Achonwa, Aerial Powers, Jessica Shepard, and Tiffany Mitchell can not play for the Lynx, right now the Underdog is the Minnesota Lynx for this game but for me, I think they can still manage in winning this one so my pick is the Minnesota Lynx,

Phoenix Mercury VS Indiana Fever

The odds for this game are 2.13 for the Mercury and 1.64 for the Fever, and right now Skylar Diggins-Smith can not play for the Mercury, and Megan Gustafson, Shey Peddy, and Sophie Cunningham are all questionable if they can play for the Mercury, while the Indiana Fever doesn't have any injuries right now for this game I think the Fever has an advantage in winning in this game if those 3 couldn't play for this game then the Fever will surely win this, for me my pick is the Indiana Fever,

[owengtam09]

The result of my picks for games Yesterday, and will not bet for today's game this will be my rest in betting so good luck for people that would likely be betting today we will have 2 games for the WNBA

Las Vegas Aces (1.33) VS New York Liberty (3.05) - WIN

A close enough game but still the Aces were in a great leader when the Liberty have gone into them, it was a stunning performance for the Las Vegas Aces but the New York Liberty is very close but the Aces didn't underestimate the Liberty and they have placed so close to winning the game, I really think that the Liberty can make a snatch if the Aces made a mistake and truly they can surprise a team that is on top of the standings for sure, Kelsey Plum and A'ja Wilson made a great score for today's game and the best performance for this game,



Seattle Storm (1.67) VS Minnesota Lynx (2.08) - WIN

A close game that turned into overtime, for sure these two teams are likely pretty much close and I surely expected this might happen but for me, I really like the odds for the Minnesota Lynx and I like the team so I decided to make a bet for them, and they manage to win the game even though with just 2 points, for me this is a very difficult prediction and I actually expecting this to be a close game and it did, and with the Overtime, it was Diamond Miller that have gotten the winning shot,



Phoenix Mercury (2.13) VS Indiana Fever (1.64) - LOST

And the losing game that I have but surely never expected the Indiana Fever to lose Brittney Griner really is something in this game and I think the Mercury couldn't win this if it isn't for her, and this game was really dominated by the Phoenix Mercury, the Indiana Fever was never a threat to them,

[YuginKadoya]

Here are the result for my bets on the game today

Las Vegas Aces VS New York Liberty - 1st Quarter win bet SCORE 98 - 81 - Both Bet WIN

As we all know the winning capabilities of the Aces it was a likely close match but the Las Vegas Aces have taken all quarter wins again, this is why it is so delighted to bet for the Las Vegas Aces on winning in the 1st quarter, it was a great spread win for the Las Vegas Aces, Candace Parker and Jackie Young both got 15 points, A'ja Wilson got 16, and Kelsey Plum got 18 points winning this game I also got a win on the 1st quarter for the Las Vegas Aces, that is 2 wins for 1 game,

Seattle Storm VS Minnesota Lynx SCORE 97 - 99 - WIN

This is what I call a lucky win for me like I have said I was really going with the Seattle Storm for this game but instead, I clicked for the Minnesota Lynx unaware of it, thinking that this was OK so I proceed with my bet not bothering in changing it, but the game was really close and it was so close that it gotten into overtime but the Minnesota Lynx won with just 2 points I was really an Exhilarating game to watch, and because I sure made an accidental bet for the Minnesota Lynx I was really thankful,

Phoenix Mercury VS Indiana Fever SCORE 85 - 63 - LOST

It was a loss for me the only loss in this game It was a one-sided game for the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever really lost this game, from start to finish the Indiana Fever don't stand a chance against the Mercury, I really thought that the Fever had a chance in this game for having 5 wins but the Phoenix Mercury have proven them very wrong, Brianna Turner got 11 points, Diana Taurasi got 17 points, and the female of the night Brittney Griner got 22 points, now the Phoenix Mercury is happy that the government have brought back this girl for Russia,

[jakelyson]

This event will be starting soon and it is the UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov Las Vegas and here is my picks

Sean Strickland vs Abus Magomedov

For me, Sean Strickland can surely brawl and can wrestle aswell but for me, his level of striking and wrestling is not that great when it comes to Alex Pereira he was defeated because he doesn't have a solid idea of how to be technical in striking, while his level of wrestling is not that good aswell, while Abusupiyan Magomedov can really surprise us if he wins this fight he got great striking and surely using his IQ on his fight those kick will be crucial for this fight for sure that Strickland will be a difficult time to predict, and he also have good takedown defense and also good at wrestling, so my pick is Abusupiyan Magomedov,

Damir Ismagulov vs Grant Dawson

Grant Dawson has great wrestling the fact that he won 13 wins by a submission proves that he likely can not be underestimated on the ground Ismagulov only has 1 but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any wrestling game at all, because I really think he also has a great submission game that he doesn't really use that much, for this fight Striking is his forte if he can defend any takedown Dawson have thrown to him he can control the striking, while he is fighting much taller fighters than him he is used in defending the takedowns of taller guys, while Grant Dawson they have the same height so this will be an easy control for Ismagulov so my pick is Damir Ismagulov,

[danherbias07]

^@jakelyson, sadly we lost our bets for Abus Magomedov. He was punished hard by Sean Strickland. Round 2 and it's all over by TKO. Something very wrong happened there where he ain't fighting back anymore. I actually thought the referee will end it earlier as he ain't punching a lot anymore and he forgot about his kicks which he did great in the first round.
He suddenly got very slow in the 2nd and was not that aggressive anymore, Sean Strickland took advantage of that and made him a punching bag.
Abus tried one takedown, it was a success but not too long.

It's a sad ending for all who are rooting for him and want to teach Strickland a lesson from his bad mouth. Well, let's see if there will be another fighter that could do that.
Next week, UFC 290. Preparing some money for it.

[rdbase]

Don't know about the UFC event happening this weekend as that is a full week ahead of us.
So for those who are into tennis we have Wimbledon currently going on both in the men's and women's tournaments:

Some matches today were interrupted and should conclude later on early in the day.

[danherbias07]

^And there's a Wimbledon Streak Challenge offered by Sportsbet.

https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2023-wimbledon-streak-challenge
Don't forget to opt in.


I think we are going to see more interruptions happening as the weather forecast for this week is not that good. I think it will be Friday on where it becomes sunny again. Yesterday, they continued the game after using a blower and wiping some parts of the wet grass and the Serbian defending champion Novak Djokovic won against the Argentinian Pedro Cachin.
Will Serbia take the crown again or will it be another guy? They are really good in sports just like Jokic of the NBA.
I think I will stick with the men's singles for now as I don't know much about the women's division. Good luck with your bets.

[ralle14]

It's a good prize boost for those who usually take the underdogs but i'll skip the challenge since most of my tennis bets are below 2.00 and the best I can do is probably two in a row if I were to participate in the challenge.

He's the only one who can stop Alcaraz IMO so hopefully, he wins it all again.
