Elon Musk and Mark Cuban are far from friends, but they are united on one front, that's NOT betting on Super Bowl Sunday... because, as you might've figured, they're not big on burning money. TMZ reached out to both mega billionaires days leading up to the big game, and we got shockingly similar responses from each guy -- no, they won't bet on the…

For years, gambling was widely considered to be a vice industry akin to alcohol or tobacco. But over the last few years, a specific form of gambling -- sports betting -- has started to become more mainstream. This shift largely has to do with the rise of mobile sports betting apps. If you watch sporting events on television, it's nearly impossible…

There's no such thing as a certainty in horse racing and those who decided to back day one'banker' Churchill found out the hard way, as one of the so-called good things of the week bit the dust at odds of 1/2. The loss must have been even more painful for two high rollers who are reported to have casually wagered £100000 and £175000 respectively on…

When word spread that billionaire Mark Cuban was selling a majority stake in the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and quitting his television gig on "Shark Tank," it spark a flurry of speculation that the 65-year-old entrepreneur would run for president next year as an independent.

The Dallas Mavericks begin the regular season tomorrow against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, and Dallas is going into this game with some great news. Luka Doncic and Jaden Hardy practiced fully on Monday, Dallas and Green agreed on a three-year extension, and the Mavs looked much better in their final preseason game. Dallas struggled…

After last year's terrible season which resulted in the Dallas Mavericks missing the playoffs for the first time since Luka Doncic's rookie season, the Mavs have since looked to retool around their young superstar. Bringing back Kyrie Irving on a three-year deal was a great start but they also needed to add more depth. The team would then look to…

The Mavericks have been plagued by a string of unfortunate events ever since they wrapped up their international preseason trip that amassed more than 17000 miles. Dallas suffered injuries to star guards Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on the trip, and although things are starting to turn the corner for Irving who was a full participant in Tuesday's…

The Marlins parted ways with GM Kim Ng earlier today, and Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic offered additional details on the situation this afternoon. Ghiroli writes that one of the primary issues between the sides was the club's decision not to offer Ng a three-year extension rather than simply pick up their end of the mutual option, a practice…

Greg Brown II admittedly looked a little sporadic in his first preseason game in Dallas. The former Texas Longhorn struggled to defend Minnesota's bigs, but it definitely didn't help that he was playing a little bit out of position at center due to him primarily being featured in lineups with the Mavs' two way and Exhibit 10 guys where he was the…

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban addressed the NBA's new rules on resting players Thursday, as a guest on ESPN's First Take, and he had an interesting theory behind why the rules were necessary. You can read all about what the rules entail here, but in a nutshell, they were implemented to curb the amount of games star players miss for reasons that…

Yarmouth's three-day Eastern Festival gets underway on Tuesday, plus action from Uttoxeter and Newcastle, all live on Sky Sports Racing.

The Dallas Mavericks front office has done a solid job gathering pieces this offseason to be title contenders in 2024. They added Grant Williams in a three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs and retained All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who was a free agent. But on paper, the roster is missing something. And the Mavs will…

The long-time market leader and antepost favourite for next year's Derby, City Of Troy was declared a non-runner at the Curragh with less than two hours to go before the off, after the ground was officially changed to'good to yielding' from'good, good to firm in places' in light of some heavy showers.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic has the potential to be an all-time great, and the players around him aren't oblivious to that.

He has already made an All-NBA Team four times, has a Western Conference…

JaVale McGee has never been close to being a top player in the league, but he's still enjoyed a nice career that has included winning three NBA Championships. His winning pedigree played a big role in the Mavericks inking him to a three-year, $20.1 million contract last offseason. It didn't take long for the veteran big man to prove that he wasn't…

The Mavericks made sure to address their frontcourt depth this offseason by adding names like Williams and Holmes while drafting Dereck Lively II. Those moves were necessary after finishing near the bottom of the league when it comes to most rebounding statistics. Even if the frontcourt situation looks better, a huge improvement isn't guaranteed.…

Former Dallas Mavericks play-caller Rick Carlisle has high expectations for Luka Doncic next season. The Dallas Mavericks finished last season with a whimper instead of a bang, but there's still reason to believe in the general philosophy behind a Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving-led team. The Mavs wisely navigated the NBA Draft and free agency to add…

Admittedly last year's Golden Gates winner Missed The Cut (stall 13) essentially raced from stall nine of the 13 due to four low-drawn non-runners, but the previous two winners came from stalls 13 and 16. High numbers in the middle-distance races at Ascot are regularly favoured, and this race is already showing signs of emulating the trends…

There was plenty of criticism across the NBA ecosphere when the Dallas Mavericks traded for Kyrie Irving, and again this offseason when they signed him to a three-year deal worth $126 million (the last year is a player option). But Mark Cuban recently brushed off all those concerns. During an interview on SiriusXM NBA radio with Frank Isola and…

Remember, MLB changed the format for the Home Run Derby back in 2015 to this elimination bracket. Lower seeds bat 1st and the seeds are decided by their season home run totals entering the derby.

Royals' backstop Salvador Perez is being sent…

This past season, the Dallas Mavericks took a massive swing, making a blockbuster deal for Kyrie Irving at the trade deadline. Unfortunately, in the short term, the trade didn't pan out. Rather than propel them forward, Irving's impact fell flat. Dallas failed to even make the Play-In Tournament and was forced to watch the postseason from their…

Karl Burke expects to have a clearer idea of Cuban Slide's capabilities after he contests the bet365 Two Year Old Trophy at Beverley on Saturday.

The NBA is becoming an increasingly impatient kingdom where the ruling owners harshly overlook the recent accomplishments of their "fall guy" head coaches. That is not jarring for anyone who followed the George Steinbrenner New York Yankees or are familiar with soccer's wild coaching carousel. But the firing of Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike…

If Kyrie Irving showing up courtside to watch the Nuggets sweep the Lakers means he'll wear purple-and-gold next season, then, by that logic, we must assume Vin Diesel will make another "Fast and Furious" sequel with Adam Sandler, Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Edward Norton and Andy Garcia, and Alex Rodriguez will suit up for the Dodgers or…

The Dallas Mavericks acquired Kyrie Irving ahead of the NBA trade deadline. The Mavericks traded away fan favorite Dorian Finney-Smith along with Spencer Dinwiddie and an unprotected 2029 first. That pick has the potential of being a big loss if the Mavericks cannot build a contender to suit Luka Doncic, and he is gone. Irving was individually…

Simon and Ed Crisford warmed up for their bid to land a £350000 mile race on Saturday by collecting another worth £50000 and setting up a crack at Royal Ascot.
