The sports and recreation market of Los Angeles, CA touts many sports teams. Currently the leagues represented include the National Basketball Association, with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers; the WNBA, with the Los Angeles Sparks; and the Major League Soccer, with the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA.

Major League Baseball has the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, with the National Hockey League promoting the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks. The American Football League has the Los Angeles Avengers and Major League Lacrosse has the Los Angeles Riptide. In the growing Hispanic community, there is great fan interest in Mexican soccer teams. Of these, the most popular are ‘Chivas’ and ‘America,’ who have developed an intense team rivalry.

In the national collegiate ranks, the two most well-known sports teams in Los Angeles are the USC Trojans and the UCLA Bruins, of which both have winning football programs.

The Staples Center hosts the Clippers, Lakers, Sparks and the Avengers in their home games. The Home Depot Center is the venue where the Galaxy, Chivas USA and the Riptide play. The Dodgers host their games at Dodger Stadium, while the Angels of Anaheim play at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Lastly, the Anaheim Ducks play their home games at the Honda Center, previously known as the Arrowhead Pond Of Anaheim.

The National Football Association at one time had a dynamic presence with both the Rams and Raiders LA. The American Football League formerly had a presence with the San Diego Chargers, now part of the National Football League. Los Angeles is currently seeking a new stadium to attract professional football to return.

In other leagues, the Los Angeles Wolves were once a part of the United Soccer Association, which started its first season in 1967. The Los Angeles Toros of the NPSL also began in 1967. Both leagues merged to form the NSL, after which the Wolves remained in Los Angeles and in 1968 the Toros relocated to became the San Diego Toros in 1968. However, when the first season ended, both teams folded. Later, the National American Soccer League returned a team to LA by starting the Los Angeles Aztecs in 1974. Unfortunately, the Aztecs folded in 1981.

NHL Hockey betting sure has changed from the old days. It used to be based on a spread (goals). In those days, you might have one team as a -1.5 goal favorite. For some, the good news was that it was like football and basketball in that you would be returned $10 for every $11 wagered. The bad news was the rules in Hockey at the time made betting a certain uncertainty at best. Why? Well, the rules at the time allowed ties. It was also a more defensive game, but the allowance of the tie was the largest factor.

Every game was at least a half goal. For example, you would see something like Anaheim Ducks plus half a goal at San Jose Sharks. You might think the Sharks are better, but if they were not a lot better, the game could very well end in a tie—and you end up a loser. It was common to see teams try to skate for a tie, because a tie was like half a win. Sure, money was still being made by those that knew the game, but many simply walked away.

After the NHL strike, the game and betting really changed for the better. The game went to a new format to decide games tied after regulation. The lines changed from goal lines to money lines. In my opinion, the game is much better now and so is betting on it. NHL hockey betting more resembles MLB baseball betting. The money lines are, in my opinion, very simple—pick the game’s winner and pay. The first task for those looking to be successful in NHL hockey betting is to familiarize one’s self with the rules of the NHL.

Back to the betting lines. For example, you might now see a line that has Carolina Hurricanes -170 at home against the NJ Devils at +150. The line is very simple. Pick the team you think will win and bet. If you like Carolina in this example, you would wager $1.70 for every $1.00 you wanted to win—to win $10, you would wager $17.00. Should you like the Devils, you will receive $1.50 for every $1.00 wagered. If you took the Devils at $20, you would win $30 should they win the game. It’s very simple.

As with other sports, there is a totals line as well. Betting on the totals line has become very interesting since the rule changes. Scoring has become more prevalent in today’s NHL. Before total lines like 6 would require a virtually automatic under wager. Today, that would not be so wise. Even in this year’s Stanley Cup finals we had games blowing past this total. Betting on totals presents a great opportunity. If you can master it, there’s a lot of money in your future.

I think it will be the best playoff series of the playoffs. I know the sabres havent beaten the Rangers yet but, it sure is looking good.
Even if some way the Rangers pull this one and game 7 off that will also be a great series!
I think the Ducks will have no problem with whoever they play in the West
Some great playoff hockey we are seeing huh? Great goaltending across the board!
