How to Win at the Kentucky Derby
Basketball Playoffs Heats Up for Bettors
The Western Conference online betting matchups are pretty much set with Los Angeles taking on Utah in the second round of the playoffs and San Antonio taking on New Orleans.
Although Utah hasn’t officially won their series versus Houston, I have no doubt that they will pull it through. They’re the better team and can provide BetUS online basketball bettors with more opportunities. So, in that sense we want them to win!
5/3 3:00pm ET Spread Moneyline Over/Under
San Antonio +3.5 +150 183.5
New Orleans -3.5 -170 183.5
Favorite: New Orleans
Kentucky Derby Betting Preview
It’s Kentucky Derby Week, or as I like to call it, the real religious holiday. Call me crazy, but I just don’t understand how anybody who considers himself a true horse race betting fan could do anything this coming Saturday except hang-out with friends, eat some good food, drink a lot of high-priced whiskey, watch the races at Churchill Downs and try to make lots of money in the BetUS online racebook.
Kentucky Derby: Prop Betting
Because I am obsessed with horse racing and Kentucky Derby betting, I’ve been running around like a madman in excitement for the Derby to get started - oh, since the last race on Breeders’ Cup Day. The best thing about the New Year is the fact that two-year old horses become three-year old horses and three-year old horses have a chance to run, and to win, the Kentucky Derby.
I understand that the Triple Crown involves two other races, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes - don’t worry, I’ll be writing about those two races as well - but it’s the Kentucky Derby that means the most to BetUS horse racing betting enthusiasts for the simple fact that the Kentucky Derby can provide either a fantastic long-shot - like Giacomo in 2005 - or our first real glimpse at a special horse like Silver Charm in 1997.
Either way the betting opportunities are ludicrous. I mean, I pretty much nailed the cold exacta in the Kentucky Derby last year when Street Sense beat Hard Spun. I nailed it for over $100 dollars. Yes, those two horses paid out an online exacta wager of over $100. So, even if you think Big Brown is as good as his fans are saying, you can make a lot of money by finding the second, third, and fourth place finishers in the Derby.
