New York Giants Betting Preview

The Giants are known for emerg­ing as win­ners in the most oppos­ing con­di­tions. They should be cred­ited for the way they made their offense hum pretty well in 2009, even though the Big Blue fell short of a 1,000 yard rusher and their top three receiv­ing threats were not play­ing. WR Steve Smith sur­faced as a new star, catching 107 passes. How­ever, the main credit goes to quar­ter­back Eli Man­ning who is now counted among the top sig­nal callers in the NFL. The Giants could be lethal if the defense can get its act together. And who knows, the addi­tion of the Jason Pierre-Paul...

Sports Gambling Site Hundreds to Choose From on the Web

Con­tem­po­rary sports bet­ting investors uti­lize the sports gam­bling site on the Inter­net more than any other venue.

Claim­ing their first FIFA World Cup, Spain becomes the eighth dif­fer­ent nation to win the World Cup. Spain started the bat­tle as favorites in the bet­ting action, while the under­dogs, Hol­land, did their utmost but just came up short.

Sebas­t­ian Vet­tel put him­self right back in con­tention for the cham­pi­onship fight with a dom­i­nant race, where he led from the start to fin­ish in the Euro­pean Grand Prix at Valen­cia.
