ATP Bastad Betting – Paul Henri Mathieu and Tommy Robredo Feature
Bastad, Sweden – The Skistar Swedish Open is underway this week with Robin Soderling topping the draw as the No.1 seed. Soderling is also the defending champion and he is the short-odds-on favourite in the BetUS tennis betting market to win a second title in a row on home soil.
The tournament has attracted several serious clay court gurus in Fernando Verdasco, David Ferrer, Nicolas Almagro and Tommy Robredo, to name a few.

2010 World Cup Betting Review – One Game Changes Everything
ESPN’s 2010 World Cup betting slogan, “One Game Changes Everything” proved to be an accurate description of the drama that unfolded in this year’s World Cup betting tournament.
Below are some of the most noteworthy headliners that have occurred since the 2010 World Cup began one month ago:
French Drama
After a second place performance in the 2006 World Cup, France had the worst and most publicized fall from the top by not winning a game in the 2010 World Cup.
To make matters worse, French players went on strike during a training session, which led to the dismissal of forward Nicolas Anelka from the team.
Upon their return to France, French head coach Raymond Domenech has been fired and French Football Federation President Jean-Pierre Escalettes resigned from his position.
Brazil’s Dunga Fired
After a disappointing and unexpected loss to the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup betting tournament, Brazil’s head coach Dunga was fired.
Dunga had been criticized for employing a system that lacked Brazil’s traditional Samba-style of play.
He also elected to leave exceptionally talented players like Ronaldinho off the national team, in favor of players with a hard-working mentality.
The fans and Brazil’s Football Federation obviously were not impressed with many of Dunga’s choices leading up to and during the 2010 World Cup.
Argentina Demolished
Argentina and their head coach Maradona had been surrounded by controversy since the World Cup betting tournament began.
Admittedly, Argentina possessed an arrogance that seemed well deserved as they destroyed opponents at the start of this 2010 World Cup.
The Argentineans scored ten goals while conceding only twice in their four games before facing Germany in the quarterfinals.
A jubilant young German team turned the Argentine swagger into devastation.

British Open Power Rankings – Lefty Drops After Horrible Scottish Open while Rose and Stricker Rise
Tiger Woods has climbed his way to the Top of the British Open Power Rankings. Yes, I know, he didn’t even tee off at either the John Deere Classic or the Scottish Open this past week.
But because Phil “Lefty” Mickelson played about as badly as any golfer at the Scottish Open, Tiger inherits the top spot.

By comparison to the self proclaimed King of the NBA, Favre’s guessing game doesn’t seem like such a jackwagon show now does it?

NBA Betting Insider – James to Heat Causes Big Change in NBA Futures Odds
Okay NBA betting enthusiasts, I know 90 percent of you are sick and tired of hearing the name LeBron James after all of the over-the-top hoopla surround his prime time free agent announcement – and I promise this is the last time I’m going to write his name for the remainder of the week.
Nevertheless, James’ departure from Cleveland – and subsequent decision to join the Miami Heat –have ‘flipped the script’ on the entire 2010-11 NBA Championship Futures Odds.
NBA Trade Update – Raptors, Suns Exchanging Turkoglu For Barbosa
In a trade move I won’t completely understand until the NBA season starts, the Phoenix Suns have agreed to trade Leandro Barbosa to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Hedo Turkoglu.
Barbosa is a wildly underrated utility guard. In 17.9 minutes per game last season he averaged 9.5 points and 1.5 assists. The defensive emergence of Jared Dudley, and the exciting playoff performances of Goran Dragic at the point, made Barbosa expendable in Phoenix.
