We already took a preview of the Kentucky Derby 2008 proposition
betting opportunities.

Now OffshoreInsiders.com
takes a peek at the odds to win the Run for the Roses. Currently the Las
Vegas odds are similar to the more accurate offshore
betting odds.

Unlike last year, there is no clear cut favorite. Big
Brown is 3/1, while Colonel John is 4/1. Pyro is next at 7/1 followed by a long
list of long shots, such as Denis of Cork at 14/1.

Adriano, a popular among the aforesaid proposition lines,
is 20/1. Big Truck checks in a 25/1. Eight
Belles, the only filly in the 20 horse field, is 16/1.

Here is how the post position draw went in order:
Visionaire (16/1), Big Truck, Colonel John, Z Fortune (10/1), Pyro, Eight
Belles, Anak Nakal (100/1), Court Vision (20/1), Z Humor (50/1), Monba (20/1),
Smooth Air (25/1), Adriano, Bob Black Jack (50/1), Denis of Cork, Cowboy Cal (50/1),
Big Brown, Tale of Ekati (25/1), Cool Coal Man (50/1), Recapturetheglory (25/1)
and Gayego (25/1).

It’s a football weekend. Yes the NFL draft is this
weekend. OffshoreInsiders.com has
posted betting odds
for the draft.

Who will be the second QB drafted? Brian Brohm -120, followed by Chad Henne
at +170 and Joe Flacco at +175. The field is +400. Virtually all projections of course have Matt
Ryan going first. The sportsbooks
odds are in line with Rivals.com rankings as well as most projections, which also
have Brohm going second at the signal calling
position.

One can even bet on which position teams will pick. The
Dallas Cowboys are rumored to be trying to trade up to draft Arkansas
running back Darren McFadden. Not surprisingly running back is the most likely
position they will draft first, but an interesting proposition is “any other
position” other than running back, wide receiver or cornerback at +200.

Which team will draft Illinois
ball control running back Rashard Mendenhall? The
Detroit Lions are even money, followed by Chicago at +250, and Houston at +275.

Philadelphia Eagles fans are chomping at the bit to draft
a wide receiver. Gamblers can wager in which round they will pick one. If you bet
not in the first four rounds and are right, collect +500.

One can wager which side of the ball the Indianapolis
Colts will draft. Will Chad Johnson be traded during the draft? When will the
Atlanta Falcons draft a quarterback?

The Boston Celtics are overwhelming favorites to win the
NBA championship according to the latest Vegas betting odds as well as the more
accurate offshore
betting line.

Curt Thomas is Chief NBA Analyst for GodsTips of OffshoreInsiders.com. He
is also the only full-time NBA handicapper in sports betting. The fact Boston
is the favorite is no surprise, but Thomas expressed shock at how relatively
little respect Detroit gets at 9/4.

“With Richard Hamilton, Antonio MyDyess,
Chauncey Billips, Richard Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince, the Pistons are the better team (than
Boston) from top to bottom,” says Thomas, though conceding that Boston’s Paul
Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen are the “league’s best threesome.”

Last year’s conference titlist Cleveland is next at 9/1,
tied with Orlando, even though the
Magic finished a full seven games ahead of the Cavs in the standings.

Explains Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy, “We
look back no further than last year to see that LeBron James can carry the
Cavaliers, plus the blockbuster mid-season trade in which they got Ben Wallace
should pay off.”

At 25/1 Washington
is given little chance, but they at not as big of a dark horse as the Toronto
Raptors at 30/1 or the Philadelphia
76ers at 50/1. Coming up the rear are the Atlanta Hawks at 75/1.

“Athletic teams like Atlanta
give Boston trouble,” warns Cy McCormick of the online betting syndicate MasterLockLine.com
