NCAAB Final Four Betting Parlay

Saturday night's Final Four matchups in this year's NCAA Tournament will set the stage for the national title game on Monday night. The Big East's Villanova Wildcats will be gunning for their second college basketball championship in three seasons as odds-on -110 favorites on BetAnySports' NCAAB futures board.

The Big Ten's Michigan Wolverines have been listed as +260 second-favorites to extend their current winning streak to 15 games with two more victories and the Big 12's Kansas Jaykawks are listed at +400 odds to cut down the net on Monday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The biggest story in this year's Big Dance has been the Missouri Valley's Loyola-Chicago Ramblers, who won the South Region of this tournament as a No. 11 seed. The odds that this Cinderella story ends with a national championship have been set at +1000.

One of the biggest betting props for the Final Four and championship game is the Most Outstanding Player award. It traditionally goes to the best player over the final two games on the winning team. The favorite to win this year's MOP honors is Villanova's Jalen Brunson at +250.

One of my betting pieces for ScoresandStats.com this week covered the best value in the odds for parlay pick combining the winning team and the MOP. Please check out my picks at the link below.

2018 Louisiana Derby Free Trifecta Pick

The 2018 Kentucky Derby Trail rolls into Fair Grounds Race Course this Saturday for the running of the $1 million Louisiana Derby. This Grade 2 major stakes event is a key stop on the road to this year's Kentucky Derby with a deep field of some of the top three-year old thoroughbreds in the nation.

My Boy Jack has been opened as a 5/2 morning line favorite breaking from the No. 9 post in the 10-horse field. Bravazo and Noble Indy will break from the first two post and each of these Kentucky-bred colts are listed as close 7/2 second-favorites. Throw in Snapper Sinclair from the No. 7 post at 9/2 odds and you have the right ingredients for one of the tightest contested races in the Kentucky Derby prep season.

In my weekly horse racing coverage for ScoresandStats.com, I have broken down the entire field for Saturday's Louisiana Derby to come up with my top trifecta play. Please check out the link below for my complete race preview.

2018 Rebel Stakes Free Trifecta Pick

When bettors think of March Madness, the current NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament takes center stage. However, March is also known in horse racing circles as one of the best months for betting ponies on the Kentucky Derby Trail. The main event on this Saturday's race card at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas is the $900,000 Rebel Stakes.

This 1 1/16 miles trip around the dirt track at Oaklawn has some heavy hitters in the field that could easily factor into the final results for this year's Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 5. As part as my weekly horse racing picks for ScoresandStats.com, I have broken down this year's field for the Rebel to come up with my top trifecta play.
