It’s a no-brainer! The heavy favorites to win an Olympic gold medal for Men’s Basketball in the
2008 Beijing Olympics are the USA Men’s Basketball Team. Team USA has a roster of awesome NBA All-Stars that include the likes of 2007 NBA MVP
Kobe Bryant,
Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Carlos Boozer, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd, Tayshaun Prince and Michael Redd.
USA are being given -350 odds in the betting lines as the outright winner of the olympic gold medal in Men’s Basketball. A bet on USA pays out 20 to 30%, which is a very good sports betting investment that rewards better than a savings bank account.
The USA will be facing China in their first game in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the USA are being given a -33.5 point spread to cover against China. The point spread looks very big indeed, and covering 33.5 points is no easy task for the USA, who will be going up against the likes of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. But then, if there’s a team that can cover a 33.5 point spread, then it has got to be the USA.
Other odds on who will be the outright winner of the Olympic Gold Medal in Men’s Basketball for the 2008 Beijing Olympics include: Spain (+400) and Argentina (+550).
Oddsmakers are expecting that the finals of Men’s Basketball in the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be fought between USA vs Spain.

In the Olympic sport of Women’s Basketball, USA are the heavy favorites to win a gold medal in the coming 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The Women’s National Basketball Team of the USA has won the Olympic gold medal in 1984, 1988, 1996, 2000 and 2004. The only time they failed to win the gold was in 1992 when they won a Bronze medal. The USA Women’s Basketabll Team has also won the World Championships in 1998 and 2002, but settled for the bronze medal in 2006 after losing to Russia in the semi-finals.
One of the reasons why the USA Women’s Basketball Team are the favorites is because they have a solid lineup of pro basketball players who play in the WNBA, which is indeed the premier basketball league for women. Some of the WNBA all-stars included in the lineup for Team USA include Cheryl Ford, Lisa Leslie, Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings, DeLisha Milton-Jones, Michelle Snow, Candace Parker, Sheryl Swoopes and Lindsey Harding.
Oddsmakers have given The USA Women’s Basketball Team a -500, which doesn’t really give out a huge pay-out, but should still be a good sportsbetting investment which pays better than a 4% interest of a bank savings account. Other odds for women’s basketball include: Australia (+275), Russia (+700).
Bet on Team USA to win an Olympic Gold Medal in Women’s Basketball.

Of course, the top performers of each division will be heading to the 2008 MLB Playoffs with a wild card to be given to the second place team with the best record in the entire National. At present, the Wild Card race in the National League is being sought after by the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers of the NL Central.
The Milwaukee Brewers have a current record of 52-43 while the St. Louis Cardinals have a current record of 53-43. If the St. Louis Cardinals can keep up their performance, then they might be sure to claim the National League wild card to make a trip to the 2008 MLB Playoffs.

Future Bets for the 2008 World Series have been released, and an interesting prop bet for sports bettors is the Intrastate World Series Odds, which basically means that you can place a bet on which US State will be home to both teams in the 2008 World Series. The Super7Casino.com Sportsbook has give out the Intrastate World Series Odds, and they are as follows:
To win the bet, both teams who will play in the 2008 World Series must be from the same US State. While this may seem unlikely, the payouts could be very handsome should it push through. A minimum $5 bet on Texas could possibly pay out $40,500. Of course, that’s highly unlikely, considering that the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros might not even make the 2008 MLB Playoffs. But then, if you have $50 to spare, you can place bets across the board, and you might score a big win.
Of course, the sure bet is that there will be NO INRASTATE WORLD SERIES in 2008, and a $1000 bet can profit $125, a rate of 12.5%, which is a good investment that will gives a higher return of interest than opening a savings account in a bank.
