1. WNBA Dildo Betting (71757 Impressions This Week)

It's the gift that keeps on giving. 

Gambling911.com has had so much coverage involving the great sex toy tossing at WNBA games and the prop bets tied to this phenomenon, it's no wonder we'd be seeing such a massive number of impressions for this one story.

For the cliffsnotes version: It all began with a dildo being thrown onto the court of a WNBA game.  Our friends at BetOnline got the brilliant idea to begin offering odds on the color of the next dildo thrown onto the court of a WNBA game.  It happened days later, then again, and again.  This culminated in at least one arrest, then another. 

And just when you thought it could not get any stranger, NYC police say they are on the lookout for a suspect who threw one of the dildos.  He's described as a white male wearing a  who was pictured wearing a 'Beavis and Butthead' t-shirt. 

The Beavis & Butthead guy is yet to be apprehended as of this writing. If you know who he is, call Crime Stoppers. 

BetOnline continues to offer betting on all things WNBA dildos.

3. Ohio Player Prop Bet Ban Fears (11939 Impressions This Week)

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine demanded requested it and now the Casino Control Commission is in the process of drafting a rule to prohibit some player prop bets.

“The Commission is currently drafting a rule to prohibit player-specific micro wagers,” Assistant General Counsel Caty Abbott told Legal Sports Report Friday. “When we believe we have a draft that will accomplish that, then the Commission will follow the statutory process for rule promulgation.”

Microbetting player prop bets are very short-term, event-specific wagers tied to an individual player's performance.

DeWine noted the ongoing investigation into two Cleveland Guardians pitchers who potentially broke MLB sports betting rules in his request.

4.  Big Ten Passing, Receiving, Rushing Yard Leaders Betting Odds for 2025 (7683 Impressions This Week)

College football is just around the corner and oddsmakers this year are not holding back when it comes to offering a wide array of prop bets and futures, some of which have never been offered previously. 

The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have opened odds for Power Four Conference leaders in passing yards, receiving yards, and rushing yards. The Big Ten have Jayden Maiava, Jeremiah Smith and Kamari Moulton/Makhi Hughes as the respective leaders.

5. Post Trade Favorites Odds for MLB Rookie of the Year Awards 2025 (6858 Impressions)

Up from 4313 impressions on Saturday and a few hundred more impressions from Sunday's Top 10 trending for the week. 

The NL MVP hasn’t changed since Day 1 of the season, and Nick Kurtz could go on the IL for the rest of the year and still take home Rookie of the Year honors. 

SportsBetting.ag has made some recent changes to its NL ROY odds, as well as the two Manager of the Year categories.

After Jacob Misiorowski looked to be running away with NL ROY, he’s now fallen to fourth on the board. Drake Baldwin is up to -200, but Agustin Ramirez and Isaac Collins are now both listed at better than 6/1.

For the MOY award, John Schneider and Pat Murphy are currently the favorites. It’s worth noting that Schneider was one of the favorites to be the first manager fired during the preseason. 

A.J. Hinch was among the favorites as well (9/1 odds to be fired first), and now he’s second on the AL MOY odds list. 

6. (NEW) Dolidze vs. Hernandez Payout Odds - UFC Fight Night August 9 (5106 Impressions)

It wasn't one of the bigger headliners in the world of UFC, but just goes to show how prominent a sport this is among Gambling911 readers. 

Official Result courtesy of UFC.com: Anthony Hernandez defeats Roman Dolidze by submission (rear naked choke) at 2:45 of Round 4

Anthony Hernandez mugged Roman Dolidze to close out Saturday’s fight card at the UFC APEX, using his constant pressure and menacing pace to torment and finish the Georgian middleweight.

This was “Fluffy” at his absolute best, taking the fight to Dolidze every second, chipping away with small shots until he could land bigger shots and truly punish his opponent. The longer the fight went, the more Hernandez dominated, repeatedly leaving Dolidze in a tired heap on the canvas and calling him back into the fray.

Late in the fourth round, Hernandez opened up with knees as Dolidze was along the fence, with the surging Californian opting to just latch onto his neck and squeeze out a finish as he dragged Dolidze back to his feet. Just a brilliant performance from the emerging middleweight contender, who has now won eight straight as he continues his march towards the top of the division.

7. ACC Passing, Receiving, Rushing Yards Leader Betting Odds for 2025 (4835 Impressions This Week) 

The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have opened lines for Power Four Conference leaders in passing yards, receiving yards, and rushing yards.

Cade Klubnik/Carson Beck, CJ Daniels and Davion Gause are the respective leaders.

8. Will the Brewers vs. Braves Game Be Postponed August 4? What Happens to My Bet? (4568 Impressions)

Being that it was exactly the start of the current week we're recapping here, this one we anticipate to drop off the list with the next update or two.

Weather threatened a number of games last week, including the Brewers vs. Braves game August 4. This one did not get postponed but gamblers assumed the worst for a bit. 

Weather has not been a major impact on games over the last week since this time. 

9. SEC Passing, Receiving, Rushing Yards Leader Odds for 2025 (3057 Impressions)

SEC numbers had Garrett Nussmeier, Ryan Williams and Caden Durham as the respective leaders for this newly introduced betting market, courtesy of BetOnline.

10. (Tied) South Park Season 27 Betting Now Available at Kalshi (2729 Impressions)

We should see this one climb the ranks these next few days as the new South Park betting market has consistently drew in decent traffic numbers at Gambling911. 

Much of the tie-ins are to politics, with right wing podcaster Charlier Kirk taking center stage. 

One such bet includes: 

What will Eric Cartman as Charlie Kirk say during the South Park Season 27, Episode 2 on August 6th?

Some $50,000 had been bet on this market as of August 6 with "free speech" favored at 57% and "Lib" at 46%.
