As May comes to a close, Sportsbetting3.com is looking ahead to June, when some exciting sporting events will take place. There’s plenty to bet on: the NBA finals, NHL play-offs, and Belmont Stakes are all big draws for sports bettors looking for a little extra cash for the summer. Of course, there’s also Baseball, which rolls along in regular season play towards the July all star break.

First up: the NBA basketball championship. As this article is being written, the Lakers lead the Nuggets 3-2 in their series. The next, and possibly final game for the Nuggets, is this Friday, May 29th. Many feel the Lakers will take the Western conference championship, unless Nuggets Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony can step up their game.

The Eastern conference has been more decisive: The Magic lead the Cavaliers 3-1. Game 5 tips offs today, May 28th. It could be curtains for the Cavaliers, who have struggled in their last few outings to play coherent team basketball. Not even LeBron James’ half court jump shots can fight off the tricks and illusions of The Magic.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals begins May 30th, featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings. The Penguins are coming off a solid conference win, in which they were the heavy favorite. Meanwhile, the Red Wings deserve Kudos for their efforts as well, and are taking a couple days to rest and recuperate before the puck is dropped this Saturday. Stanley Cup betting will continue into early June, just long enough to keep the ice from melting .

Finally, we couldn’t leave you without mentioning the Belmont Stakes, the third and final leg of the famed Triple Crown horse racing series. The Kentucky Derby stunned horse racing fans with the improbable win of Mine that Bird; and the Preakness gave us a more predictable outcome with filly Rachel Alexandra taking home the win. Both horses are contenders in the 141st running of the Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 6, 2009. Both Mine that Bird and Rachel Alexandra (if the officially enter the race) are the heavy favorites. Mine that Bird is the sentimental favorite, who has demonstrated that he’s no one hit wonder by missing Preakness honors by less than 1 length.

Well there you have it: A little run down of major sports betting events in June. Get in on the action now by placing a bet at any of our top online sportsbooks. We’ve also got some great horse racebooks - Click Here to Bet on the Horses. Good Luck and Have Fun!

The fans of the Orlando Magic have to be cursing their luck. Leading the Cavaliers with less than 1.5 seconds to go, LeBron James of the Cavaliers got the inbounds pass and threw up a 3 point prayer that dropped perfectly through the hoop. Game Over: 96-95 Cavaliers. Given James’ ability to make what seems to be impossible shots, this is in some ways no surprise, but more likely a sign that the basketball Gods have a thing for the Cavaliers and felt like saving them from potential loss that would have put them behind, 2-0, to the Magic.

Game 3 of the Cavs/Magic series is May 24th at 8:30 PM in Orlando. This one should be interesting. Hopefully, the Cavaliers will get themselves back together and play some serious basketball.

The Lakers - Nuggets series has been more decisive: Los Angeles leads 2-1 in the Western Conference final. Many feel that Denver is still very much in the contest, and needs its strong players to step up against the Lakers machine that seems to propel itself to the conference finals almost every year. By the way, did you catch that “self pass/ball off the back of Kobe to a simple layup” play by the Nuggets? The thing is, it wasn’t actually a play the coach had in mind, it was just the brilliance and gut instinct of Chauncey Billups to grab an extra 2 points and make Bryant look a little clueless.

The Lakers and the Nuggets play again on Monday, May 25th, at 9:00 PM Eastern. Don’t miss this pivotal game that could help decide the series.
