handball

Las Vegas - Sitting here in Vegas scrolling through all my phone apps, looks like the folks at William Hill are getting VERY creative.

Didn't tap the 'bet now' function on any of these, but they had lines on the Setka Cup, a table tennis tourney over in the Ukraine where they practice SAFE ping pong. According to the website, 'the equipment can be cleaned quickly and easily (potentially with one ball disinfected and drying while a point is being played with another ball). In fact, in regard to social distancing – a table tennis court can be limited to 2 (or 3 with an umpire) – and if you don’t change sides, the players are generally 9-15 feet apart. There are no fans. Towel breaks are handled away from the umpire. And the players use a quick air-fist bump when the match is over.' The Will Hill app had Petro Kilyakin at -$165 vs. Oleksandr Ivashkin at +$145 just in case you wanna start charting matches.

Next up was a Nicaraguan baseball game between Costa Caribe and Rio San Juan. Carib was listed as a huge favorite at -$320, and it appears as if the bats rule over the arms in Nicaragua, with the over/under set at 12.5 runs. Looking for some past performances. If anyone has, PLZ YELL!

Then we also had an option of betting on handball in Belarus. Meshkov Brest, the defending champion and team currently sitting in 1st place, was a -12.5 point favorite over Gomel, the last place club. Of course, we did a little research and found out that Meshkov won its 11th title last season, and has a phenomenal logo. Trying to find the online store to get some gear, but heard the shipping cost was sky high. Quick note about the team name. The club is named in honor of Anatol Piatrovich Meshkov, and plays in the city of Brest. Even with all this vital info at my fingertips, STILL not gonna throw any chips at this game. Have not confirmed it yet, but heard that one famous tout gave out Gomel +12.5 points as his 1000 star Belarus Division 1 Handball EARLY APRIL LOCK OF THE YEAR! If Gomel covers the +12.5 points, I'm signing up for his service, and eagerly anticipating the MID-APRIL LOCK OF THE DECADE! If neither selection wins, I might still roll with this guy and his LATE APRIL LOCK OF THE CENTURY, which he tells me is on a 12-0 run dating back to the 9th century! Dug a little deeper and found out that the famous Viking King, Ivar the Boneless, bought the first ever LATE APRIL LOCK OF THE CENTURY, and collected 18 pieces of silver!!!
