'Mozart of Chess' a big fave at World Championship

Viswanathan Anand, the reigning World Chess champion, is a +250 underdog at the 2013 World Championship in his own backyard of Chennai, India.

Why? Because his opponent, a 22-year-old Norwegian named Magnus Carlsen, has been dubbed "The Mozart of Chess" and is generally regarded as the best player to come along the scene in decades.

Carlsen is the favorite at -350 to win in what event promoters say will be the "most watched chess match in history".

The opening match of the event is scheduled for Saturday Nov. 9.

Analysis:

**NEW** NFL PROP BETS HIT THE BOARD!

The Iceman is no stranger to success when it comes to FUTURE/PROP bets, as evidenced by his PERFECT 3-0 sweep with props @ SUPERBOWL XLVII, his 11-4 record with NHL playoff series bets, or his complete domination of the FIFA WORLD CUP (34-11 +$7,354). 

HISTORY WILL SURELY REPEAT ITSELF on the gridiron in 2014!

 
This is a Free #MLB play on the #NYY.

We saw a slugfest in Texas last night, as the Yankees just barely held on to win 12-11 at the Ballpark in Arlington. Mark Teixeira homered in just his second game back, and all of a sudden the Bronx Bombers are looking like an offensive juggernaut with the addition of Chase Headley who has hits in all eight of his games wearing the pinstripes.

Colby Lewis will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and his last home start was nothing short of a disaster. Lewis (6-8, 6.23 ERA) was torched for 13 runs on 13 hits, leaving after recording just one out in the third inning in a 15-6 loss to the Angels prior to the break. Believe it or not, this is actually the norm rather than the exception for Lewis at home, as he's 1-5 with an 8.40 ERA in nine starts in Texas this year.

The Yankees hand the ball to Hiroki Kuroda, who is undefeated in his last four starts. Kuroda (7-6, 3.99 ERA) allowed four runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings in a home win over Toronto his last time out.

The Rangers have hit Kuroda well in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another slugfest here. The Yankees though have more weapons, and a better bullpen.

Take NYY.
