Thanks to Covid and the lockdowns, betting was one of the main forms of entertainment while people were forced to stay home, and with that, betting apps were and still are a key focus, more so than the normal websites that betting agencies use. The question is who are the best for providing customers with an elite betting app? Down below are some…

In the five years since UFC left Fox to announce a landmark, $1.5 billion broadcasting deal through 2025 with ESPN, it has been hard to find a time in which UFC president Dana White hasn't been smiling. White, the 53-year-old tireless maverick who has been the face of combat sports' most successful promotion since 2001, has typically closed each…

Let's call it two years, 11 months. On Feb. 4, 2020, the initial (and better) version of the Mookie Betts trade broke. An organizational failure spanning three baseball bosses, and a punt to the groin that fundamentally changed how a sizable percentage of people viewed the Red Sox. By Jan. 4, 2023, their likes had only grown, and the snowball of…

The annual Dec. 26 start of the Santa Anita season has a natural, anticipatory, turn-the-page vibe to it. But this mark-your-calendar Opening Day mainstay hasn't always been a post-holiday tradition. Although Santa Anita has kicked off its winter/spring meet on the day after Christmas every year since 1977, the track originally opened in 1934 on…

You hear plenty of familiar names around the Magic Millions sales grounds. It seems like it was headed by either Gai and Adrian - and you didn't need to add Waterhouse and Bott, or thanks Maher/Eustace when another was knocked down to Ciaron Maher Bloodstock. Annabel, as in Neasham, was on the charts with a bullet. Or then there was "Vinnie", as…

This is Newmarket but not as we know it. With one of two canters completed, horses amble through what feels like a dark, thick forest that paints an elegant impression of Chantilly.

LAS VEGAS - In the late 1970s, cocky young prognosticator Danny Sheridan boasted of his magnificent acumen picking football winners to Mort Olshan, who brainstormed a test.

It has not been a summer for Spanish women's soccer. With the prospect of a new, long-awaited professional league - now officially named Liga F - kicking off during the 2022-23 season, the rosy mood of hope and expectation soon gave way to a darker reality: a power-grabbing battle between the league and federation authorities about every little…
