#Oh Well

Yesterday was a fairly quiet day for MLB roster moves, with Carlos Correa finally having successfully completed a physical and signed with Minnesota to take the last remaining big-name free agent off the market. But there was still some notable baseball news, as ESPN's Buster Olney reported that all Triple-A parks will use an electronic strike…

MILTON, ON - January 10, 2023 - Woodbine Entertainment today announced the 2022 Standardbred harness racing season at Woodbine Mohawk Park generated a record all-sources handle of $444171816.92. The 2022 all-sources handle smashes the previous record of $364 million in 2019 and is part of over $1 billion wagered on Woodbine Thoroughbred and…

I read with interest your recent article on the birth of NASCAR. While the France family has long had a monopoly on who founded NASCAR, team owner Raymond Parks was also considered a founder and provided a lot of start-up cash to get things moving. If you will check the book written by Neil Thompson called "Driving with the Devil," you will get the…

With all of the data at our fingertips, we can really do some interesting things in the offseason. We know that the strikeout rate is one of (if not the) most important metrics for a pitcher. It's hard to have success with a low strikeout rate, and it's a bit tough to not have success with a high strikeout rate. So, to get ahead of the crowd, we…

You've not been paying attention-and why would you have been?-but three OTE writers have recently become fathers, the two of us for the first time (and, by the time this sees the light of day, maybe we'll have been joined by Beez). Of course, as we all know, that comes with loads of spare time while the little potato just lies there and requires no…

So far, it has been a pretty quiet Winter Meetings for the Dodgers - at least, when it comes to retaining or brining in new players. They've still only signed Shelby Miller and officially announced Clayton Kershaw's re-signing, but they've lost some free agents along the way. Trea Turner on Monday signed an 11-year, $300 million deal with the…

The long winter is almost over. Orioles baseball will be back in our lives tomorrow, or if it really rains a lot in Boston tomorrow, then it'll be back on Friday. The best thing that can be hoped for this season is that baseball in general, and the Orioles specifically, can get back to having normal problems, instead of pandemic problems. The…

The Octagon's return to Las Vegas, Nevada, this weekend (Sat., April 16, 2022) will feature some bad blood, as UFC Vegas 51's main event pits surging Welterweight Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad against each other for the second time. Also on tap is a clash between elite Middleweight prospects Gadzhi Omargadzhiev and Caio Borralho, plus Andre…

Rivalry weekend was spoiled from the beginning as Ole Miss squandered away a game they easily could have won and our two totals ended up missing by just one score. Oh well! The regular season has come to a close and we sit with over a 5% return on my college football model's bets and you won't find me complaining about that figure. Sure, I wish we…

Fast-rising Light Heavyweight contender, Jamahal Hill, looks to step into title contention this Saturday (Aug. 6, 2022) when he takes on destructive veteran, Thiago Santos, inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC Vegas 59 also features a clash of Welterweight knockout artists in Vicente Luque and Geoff Neal, as well as The Ultimate Fighter (TUF)…

The Nationals aren't going to make the playoffs in 2023. They probably won't even sniff.500; unsurprisingly, the team that traded Juan Soto along with everything that wasn't nailed down this past season isn't quite ready to compete for division titles. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try to get better, though - when the next generation of…

Bad news guys. I might not be good at gambling. I also might be learning anything with this experiment. To be perfectly honest, I forget what I was even hoping to learn by doing this. I think I said it was to find out which strategy was to bet? What the fuck does that even mean? More fun? The bets I'm having the most fun tracking are the bets that…

This Big Ten game has a projected over/under of 32 points, and when you look at the weather, it'll be the coldest game at Huntington Bank Stadium in years, with a projected high temperature of 17 degrees. The "real feel" in the stadium will likely be in the single digits for the game's duration as well. But even with the cold temperatures and…

The fields are set for the two-year-old divisions of the Breeders Crown following Friday night's (Oct. 21) elimination round at Woodbine Mohawk Park. The $2.4 million freshman championships will be contested next Friday, Oct. 28. Recaps and replays of the eliminations are available below, along with the post draws for the finals. Two-Year-Old…

Andre Agassi was determined to defeat Jimmy Connors at the 1988 US Open because of the latter's behavior towards him in the locker room. Agassi was a teenager at the time, and he reached his second Grand Slam quarterfinal of the year in New York. The former World No. 1 wrote in his autobiography'Open' that he spoke to Connors in the locker room…

Australia's most-prominent athletes have spoken up in recent weeks against companies sponsoring their sporting organisations, citing concerns around climate change and racism. The federal government has admitted current requirements for gambling ads haven't worked State governments are using gambling taxes to offer responsible gambling…

By Rob Biertempfel, Katie Woo and Nick Groke Each of the three finalists for the National League Gold Glove Award at third base has a fascinating backstory. The old master is the Cardinals' Nolan Arenado, who has won the award in each of the past nine years. Ke'Bryan Hayes of the Pirates is the new kid, a defensive whiz in the minors who just…

No one could have seen this coming. Except everyone in NuckLuckNation. Oh well... winning isn't everything. It's the only thing missing. A win. A road win. When leading by multi-goals. THE GOOD If you're a fan of baby-steps hockey process - I'm not - but if you are, then you will feel good fine meh about the little micro-step forward the seemingly…

This article is part of our College Football Picks series. Make use of the BetMGM Bonus Code for a risk-free bet up to $1000. Chris' Picks Welp, it finally happened. I turned in a long-awaited losing week. No excuses, but I got bit by some quarterback injuries. Devin Leary going out during the game and Will Levis' injury creeping up after I…

The final leg of the triple header is upon. Any Formula One fan should get goosebumps when they see the Tifosi erupt around the 3.5-mile iconic Italian track. Monza is one of the most iconic tracks on the calendar. This weekend could be a race to remember. Charles Leclerc is starting on pole for Ferrari in their home race. It's his eighth pole of…

As part of one of the best cards of the year, the Saturday Pick-5 at Woodbine Mohawk Park spans across all major stakes on the card, concluding with the Mohawk Million. Here are my thoughts for (hopefully) putting together a winning ticket. There's only a few "must include" type horses throughout the Pick-5 sequence, and two of those are in this…

3-5 a week ago has the betting preview in quite a tailspin. However, we were a Florida State fumble and Clemson recovery for a touchdown away from an even week. That was the sort of play where both the spread and total are affected that makes you wonder. Wonder what? I don't know. Probably just wonder why we waste our time and, more importantly,…

After another week of madness, insanity and a little bit of football, the odds to win the College Football Playoff changed immensely since Week 1. Although in some ways, they didn't change much at all. The folks over at Vegas Insider took a consensus of the top sports books out in the desert and averaged out each team's odds to win the title…
