Sports Betting – Texas Teams Roundup
Dallas Mavericks (20-9, 1st in Southwest)
It was a bit of hectic week for the Dallas Mavericks, who got a big scare when their star forward Dirk Nowitzki took out a couple of Houston Rockets forwards Carl Landry’s teeth. Unfortunately for Nowitzki, he didn’t just knock out Landry’s teeth, they were stuck in his elbow. Originally, it looked like it might be a very serious injury but less than a week later, Nowtizki was back in the lineup against the Portland Trail Blazers. A lot of internet sports betting sharps quickly bet up Dallas but they ended up losing 85-81 at home.
Nowitzki’s elbow is extremely sore and there is a chance of infection, but the good news for Mavericks fans is that he’s back in the lineup.
Dallas Stars (16-10-11, 4th in Pacific)
When sportsbooks like 5Dimes (5Dimes Reviews) opened up the regular season point totals for the Dallas Stars, some local fans were disappointed with how low they were.
As we look at the standings nearing the halfway point of the season, the reality is that the odds makers were about right.
The Stars are 4-2-4 in their last 10 games and while the point total is alright thanks to the totals from the overtime losses, the reality that can’t be skirt is that in a league where overtime losses wouldn’t count for anything, the Stars would be 16-21.
Sports handicapping experts know that with a new coach, a new system and finding a new look, the Stars were bound to go through some growing pains. This could be a team that finds its stride in the second half of the season but right now, they are just looking for some consistency.
Texas Rangers (Offseason)
In the midst of the offseason, one of the biggest pieces of news for the Texas Rangers is that they will have new ownership. Owner Tom Hicks is going to sell the majority share of the team to Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan.
The deal is not final yet, but the main thing that internet gambling sharps want to see is that the course will stay the same.
It’s not that the Rangers are a World Series contender quite yet but they do appear to be a team heading in the right direction. Last year’s 87-75 record was very encouraging and the fans want to know that the course will stay the same.
So far, Ryan and Greenberg have said all the right things.
