What Bettors Should Know For Tuesday, July 8
1. World Cup
– The first of two semifinal games kickoff today at 4PM et with Germany taking on Brazil. Unfortunately, the Brazilians will be without star players Neymar (fractured vertebra) and Thiago Silva (suspension) which has clearly affected the public perception. At the time of publication, Brazil was receiving just 17% of moneyline bets but you can view all the latest odds and betting percentages on our Free World Cup page.
– Tomorrow Argentina will face the Netherlands in the other semifinal game. Unfortunately, that game has also been marred by a key injury:

2. NBA
– Most of the NBA free agency market seems to have hit a standstill as teams wait for LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony to make their free agency decisions.
Amid all the @KingJames talk, #Cavs are down to just +1700 at Sportsbook to win the NBA title: http://t.co/o3NGvNoYth — SportsInsights.com (@SportsInsights) July 7, 2014
Wow. @LVSuperBook has moved Cavs to 12/1 to win NBA title. “Kids keep coming in like it’s already announced that (LeBron) is leaving.”

3. MLB
– The 2014 All-Star game rosters have been announced and as usual there are no shortage of questionable decisions — perhaps most notably the AL’s decision to include Mark Buehrle and Scott Kazmir over Chris Sale. But how have these pitchers produced for baseball bettors?
AL All-Star starting pitchers in 2014: 98-45, +28.34 units, 19.8% ROI. NL All-Star starting pitchers in 2014: 88-67, +1.09 units, 0.7% ROI. — Bet Labs Software (@Bet_Labs) July 7, 2014
