LSU Favored Over Florida In Game Three Of College World Series

Published

on

CWS 2023 betting odds

Despite losing 24-4 in game two of the series and squeaking out a win in game one, the LSU Tigers are favored to win game three of the 2023 College Baseball World Series. 

College Baseball has only had the three-game World Series for the past twenty years (2003), and since then only reached the third game of the series ten times. However, the series tends to favor the game two winners. 

Only three teams who have lost the second game of the series have ever gone on to win the World Series. Rice lost the second game in 2003 and went on to win it all, LSU lost the second game in 2009 and went on to win it all, and Vanderbilt lost the second game in 2014 and went on to win the World Series in game three. 

Game One Of The College World Series

Game one was among the most competitive college baseball games I have ever seen. It was back in a fourth effort by both teams with several home runs and good old baseball. 

LSU’s ace Ty Floyd put on a pitching clinic striking out 17 out of 24 batters in eight innings. Floyd’s performance tied the record for the most strikeouts in the College Baseball World Series in nine innings or under. The only other pitcher to ever get those kinds of numbers was Ed Bane in 1972 when he pitched for Arizona State. 

Despite the excellent pitching from Floyd, LSU still had to fend off the Gators in a matchup that ended in the 11th inning with a home run in the top of the inning. Below are the 2023 College Baseball World Series highlights from game one.

Game Two Of The World Series

Game two of the College World Series started well but ended ugly. Initially, the competition was competitive, but then Florida broke away and unloaded on the Tigers. 

Inning three is where it all began for the route. The Gators went into the inning down by a run, but after a two-out grand slam, the Gators left the inning with a substantial lead. From there on out, it was all Gators en route to a 24-4 finish. Below are the highlights from game two of the series.

Where To Bet On The College Baseball World Series

Game three is Monday, June 26th, and is scheduled to begin at 6 pm EST. Offshore sportsbooks in the United States are the best option for betting on the College World Series as they offer game lines, futures, and in some cases, props for the event. 

The offshore sportsbook sites we recommend all accept players from the states and various other countries, but you follow state or other local laws that might restrict access to their site. While online sportsbooks will gladly accept your wagers, there could be a risk of trouble if you violate state laws in place. 

See our offshore state betting guide to learn more about state laws and what is allowed.

Live casino logoA temporary gaming facility is set to debut in Petersburg, Virginia, on January 22, 2026, marking the first phase of the larger Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia project. The interim casino will be located on the same 100-acre property off Interstate 95 where the permanent resort is currently under construction.

When completed, the full-scale venue will span 445,000 square feet and offer a mix of gaming, dining, and hotel accommodations.

Plans include:

  • 70,000+ square feet dedicated to meetings, conventions, and entertainment.
  • A 200-room luxury hotel with 25 suites, a resort-style pool, and a fitness center.
  • 1,600 slot machines, more than 60 table games, a 22-table poker room, high-limit areas, and a sportsbook.
  • Nearly 20 restaurants, bars, and entertainment options, many featuring local partnerships.
  • Complimentary parking for guests.

Casino officials emphasized that hiring is underway for hundreds of positions, including dealers, guest services, and security staff.

Penny Parayo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Live! Casino Virginia told the media: “We are thrilled to announce the opening date. Our team has been working hard day and night to welcome guests through our doors for the first time in January.”

Other VA Casinos

There are currently only three licensed casinos in Virginia:

  • Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol
  • Rivers Casino Portsmouth
  • Caesars Virginia in Danville

You can also find numerous historical horse racing (HHR) machines that operate in smaller venues across the state. While technically not slots, HHR machines often mimic slot machines with pull levers and numerous gameplay titles.

All of the domestic Virginia casinos offer Class III gaming, including table games, slots, poker, and sports betting. Sports betting is the only option currently allowed to operate online within the state’s borders.

Are Online Casinos Legal In Virginia?

Current Virginia law does not permit domestic casinos to operate online; however, no state or federal laws prohibit offshore casinos from accepting VA players.

Offshore betting sites have been servicing the United States since the early 2000s and have become one of the most popular ways to wager online. With real-money payouts, welcome bonuses, reward packages, and other player perks, online betting has far surpassed its domestic counterparts in many areas of the US.

There are only seven states (Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia) that license online casinos to operate. However, these casino sites are geofenced and only offered to players of age who are physically located within the state’s borders.

States that allow offshore betting sites are plentiful due to the lack of federal legislation. However, some states have blocked popular sites to boost their local casino and online sportsbook revenue.

NBA Changes All-Star Format To Include International Team

Published

NBA Allstar Game 2026

The NBA has unveiled a significant shake-up for the 2026 All-Star Game, introducing a U.S. vs. World format with a round-robin tournament.

The event will take place on February 15, 2026, at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, marking the first time the showcase will feature this international competition style.


2026 NBA All-Star Game Adopts U.S. vs. World Format

The NBA and NBPA confirmed that the 2026 All-Star Game will break from tradition, replacing the East vs. West setup with two U.S. squads and one international team. Each roster will include at least eight players, competing in a four-game round-robin tournament with 12-minute matchups.

Game Structure:
Game 1: U.S. Team A vs. U.S. Team B
Game 2: Winner of Game 1 vs. World Team
Game 3: Loser of Game 1 vs. World Team
Game 4: Championship between the top two teams

If all three teams finish with a 1–1 record, point differential will decide who advances to the final.

All-Star Selection Process

The 24 All-Stars will still be chosen through the familiar voting system:

  • Starters: Fans (50%), players (25%), and media (25%)
  • Reserves: Selected by NBA head coaches

Unlike past years, positions will not factor into selections, allowing for more flexibility in roster construction. If voting doesn’t yield the required 16 U.S. players and eight international players, Commissioner Adam Silver will appoint additional All-Stars to balance the teams.

Betting On The 2026 NBA All-Star Game

Online sports betting sites have not released odds for the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend, as the competition is still months away. So, for now, bettors are turning their attention to the futures market, which remains active with lines available for the NBA In-Season Tournament winner, conference champions, and divisional winners.

Offshore sportsbooks, meanwhile, are known for offering a broader range of betting options compared to their regulated domestic counterparts. These platforms often emphasize game lines, player props, and specialty markets, giving bettors more variety and flexibility.
