UFC 96 odds – Jardine Wants Respect
As we approach the Rampage vs Jardine odds , it seems the Dean of Mean gets no respect. Can you blame fight fans and fellow UFC fighters alike for not getting too excited over Keith Jardine (
It’s hard to argue against Rampage as the favorite (-300). He’s a world-class fighter (29-7 record), having held the UFC heavyweight title and beaten Chuck Liddell (twice), Dan Henderson and, most recently, Wanderlei Silva in a vicious knockout. Rampage has the advantage in virtually every category—he’s a better wrestler, has a stronger chin and has more knockout power than Jardine. But is Rampage, like many online betting fans, underestimating Jardine? He reportedly turned down a title shot against Rashad Evans so he could “tune up” against Jardine first. If that doesn’t motivate the Dean of Mean in the Rampage vs Jardine odds, nothing can.
Jardine’s secret weapon is his ability to beat counterpunchers. He took down Forrest Griffin and Chuck Liddell and actually poses a sneakily difficult matchup for Rampage. Those who bet on UFC could do worse if they felt like picking a big sportsbook underdog in the UFC 96 betting lines. Overall, Rampage is still the safer bet. He’s stronger and more experienced than Jardine; he’s also smart enough to change his strategy and catch Jardine off guard. History suggests that walking forward is the way to beat the Dean of Mean (and badly—aggressive fighters like Silva and Houston Alexander demolished him that way), so online betting fans shouldn’t be surprised if Rampage tries exactly that this Saturday.
American Idol 2009 and Dancing With the Stars Vegas Odds Are Posted
One of the world’s top sportsbooks has finally posted the betting odds for American Idol 2009, Dancing With the Stars Vegas line and the odds on So You Think You Can Dance. The Vegas betting odds have been an outstanding precursor not only who will likely win, but the probable eventual finalists.
The most popular reality show to bet on is American Idol and the sportsbooks have spoken.
Though Danny Gokey opened up as the favorite, the choice of many Facebook groups Adam Lambert now is the frontrunner. Gokey is +300 with Lambert +200. A big steam move almost unprecedented in American Idol betting was on Allison Iraheta, who has skyrocketed to +750.
Matt Giraud is next at +1000, Alexis Grace +1200 and Anoop Desai +1400. “A lot of money came in on Alexis Grace,” reports Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com.
Major long shots include Megan Cornrey +1800, Ju’Not Joyner +2000, Michael Sarver, Scott Macintyre, and Ricky Braddy at +2500.
Given little change according to the American Idol oddsmakers are Anne Marie Boskovich, Jasmine Murray, Stevie Wright, Kristen McNamara, Jackie Tohn, Stephen Fowler, Von Smith and the others.
March Madness bettors are checking out ScoresOddsPicks.com but Dancing With the Stars fans are analyzing the Vegas odds at BetUs Sportsbook.
Shawn Johnson is the Dancing With the Stars one to beat say the sportsbooks at +150. Chuck Wicks is next at +450, Gilles Marini +550, Lawrence Taylor at +700, Denise Richards +750 and Jewel at +850.
Meanwhile the So You Think You Can Dance odds are limited to male -180 or female +140.
