does anybody think north carolina has a shot over the lakers. i mean i think they should win. not bad at +350

who gets bball player kobe or lebron? thats tough lebron is more liked i think in general but kobe just took his team to win a championship

best international athlete i think bolt might have a chance

best football player i think it should go to peterson but kurt might have a chance he took his squad to the superbowl and he can still sling the rock at 80 years old. but i mean peterson is a beast

breakthrough athlete evan longoria +350

yeah that seems pretty solid at +350

crosby at -200

Jul 15 - 12:00 PM 2009 ESPY AWARDS - BEST NHL PLAYER - ODDS TO WIN
12095 ALEXANDER OVECHKIN (CAPITALS) +150

There is NO WAY he should be plus money. He's won the Hart Memorial Trophy 2 years in a row.

OK, I love props. Here's what else I like up there.

HIGH PERCENTAGE BETS

Jul 15 - 12:00 PM 2009 ESPY AWARDS - BEST NBA PLAYER - ODDS TO WIN
12080 LEBRON JAMES (CAVS) -135

Small price to pay for a NBA MVP and the player widely regarded as the best by the general public.

Jul 15 - 12:00 PM 2009 ESPY AWARDS - BEST NFL PLAYER - ODDS TO WIN
12085 ADRIAN PETERSON (VIKINGS) +200
12089 PEYTON MANNING (COLTS) +250

I lean towards Manning. He's the MVP, he also won it 3/6 years. You could arb it and virtually guarantee yourself 61% though. I don't think either of the Cardinals win it, and Harrison has no chance.

VALUE BETS:

Jul 15 - 12:00 PM 2009 ESPY AWARDS - BEST TEAM - ODDS TO WIN
12019 CONNECTICUT (WOMENS BASKETBALL) +600

They went undefeated. No other team up there did that. Granted it's women's BB, and you likely won't win because of that.

Jul 15 - 12:00 PM 2009 ESPY AWARDS - BEST BREAKTHROUGH ATHLETE
12029 DERRICK ROSE (BULLS) +300
12030 EVAN LONGORIA (RAYS) +350

Matt Ryan is a nice player, and he's the favorite because the NFL gets so much publicity. However there is a great chance one of these hits. And that's an 111.76% profit if it does, better than 2-1.

Jul 15 - 12:00 PM 09 ESPY AWARDS- BEST MALE INTERNATIONAL ATHLETE
12053 CRISTIANO RONALDO (PORTUGAL-SOCCER) +400
12056 RAFAEL NADAL (SPAIN-TENNIS) -220

You could arb this, netting 12.67% if Bolt doesn't win (don't think he will). An Argentinian soccer player or a soft NBA player won't win, so there's Nadal and Ronaldo. I love Ronaldo's value - he's considered the best soccer player in the world. Nadal's recent injuries and loss at the French Open may hurt the voting.

I did a poll, the fans don't want the ESPY's. The fans don't want Chris Berman and as everyone knows the fan gets what the fan wants.

Totally agree.
UCONN was the superior team in any sport this past season on any level, pro or college.
And if anybody disagrees, they just don't know anything about team sports.

Too bad ESPN loves Kobe so much that the Lakers will probably win this.

good stuff hoosiers

Go figure, Lakers best team?

At least the voters got Maya Moore correct.

What a joke.

best game i might of gave it to that cuse uconn game that was fucking crazy. although super bowl is the biggest stage

wow best football player goes to fitzgerald
