Newsweek is about to take the next step in its dedicated daily coverage of sports betting with a brand-new weekly newsletter specifically for sports bettors.
Newsweek Sports Betting will be hitting inboxes soon, so go ahead and sign up to receive it now before the first edition hits inboxes next Friday, July 11.
Now, let's run through the most popular questions we've gotten so far to let you know exactly what Newsweek Sports Betting will be delivering (hint: it's exactly what the name suggests).
First, here's how we'd describe it in 10 words or fewer:
Sharp betting analysis, trends and picks – straight to your inbox.
What Is Newsweek Sports Betting?
An entertaining, informative weekly newsletter about what to bet on in sports every weekend.
Newsweek Sports Betting will feature -- you guessed it -- our deeply researched favorite bets of the upcoming weekend, and why we like them.
We'll also be highlighting the best of what you can find at Newsweek's dedicated sports betting vertical, with links to our latest analysis.
In addition, Newsweek Sports Betting will feature a betting-related hot take of the week (just what we all need more of, right?), plus a fully transparent rundown of the week that was, with ownership of what we got right and what we got wrong -- 🤞for much more of the former than the latter.
When Will I Receive This Newsletter?
For the first few months of this newsletter, starting July 11, we'll publish every Friday at noon EST. Even if you're working shorter summer Fridays, you'll get this right before you close your computer for the weekend.
Expect multiple editions per week during football season. We'll have more details on our fall publishing schedule as we get closer to the biggest months of the year for sports bettors but for now, count on hearing from us every Friday.
Who Is Writing Newsweek Sports Betting?
I'm Tyler Everett, and I've been Newsweek's Sports Betting Editor since June of 2024. You can easily stay up-to-date with all of my sports betting content for Newsweek by visiting the Newsweek sports betting homepage.
Before I go any further, I will admit that I began my Newsweek tenure with a piece about why the Mavericks had a real chance to beat the Celtics in last year's Finals.
Fortunately, we've had much better luck around here lately. Recent highlights include a Sam Bennett for Conn Smythe recommendation before the Stanley Cup Final and an accurate Kevin Durant to Houston prediction at longer than 2-to-1 odds.
We also "went out on a limb" by picking LSU to win the Men's College World Series, and the Tigers came through with their second national title in three years.
And while I was not a founding member of the Florida Gators basketball bandwagon in March, I did go on the record picking Florida to win the SEC Tournament at longer than +300 odds, and I also picked the Gators to win the 2025 NCAA Tournament before it got underway.
I've been a sports writer for over 15 years now, and I've been writing and editing sports betting-specific content since 2019.
That's all I've got for now, but if you haven't already signed up, here's another link.
Looking forward to gracing your inboxes with my analysis -- and, with any luck, winning bets -- on July 11,
Tyler Everett

'You're Not a Good Loser': Cooper Flagg's Mom Gets Real About Mavericks Rookie
'You're Not a Good Loser': Cooper Flagg's Mom Gets Real About Mavericks Rookie originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Mavericks' decision to select Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft didn't come as a surprise. He was already considered the consensus top pick even before he started his collegiate career, and he only further separated himself from the rest of the class in his lone season at Duke. Advertisement In 37 games with Duke in the 2024-25 season, the 18-year-old Flagg averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks. He helped lead the Blue Devils to the Final Four, putting up 21.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 blocks during the NCAA Tournament. While Cooper Flagg's shooting and ball-handling leave much to be desired, he's expected to make an immediate impact on the Mavericks on both ends of the floor. However, the youngster's skills and physical tools are not the only things that make him a good fit for the Mavericks. According to his mother, Kelly Flagg, his mentality and attitude also align well with Dallas. Kelly Flagg, mother of Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg opens up about her son's personal Wachter-Imagn Images In a recent interview they did in partnership with Chime, Cooper Flagg and Kelly Flagg talked about the Mavericks' desire to win a championship immediately, which bodes well for the so-called "Maine Event" himself. As Kelly Flagg noted, her son doesn't like losing. Advertisement "Something that I'm most excited about being a Dallas Maverick would be going to an organization that, I think, is in a mode that is ready to win," Cooper Flagg stated. "Kind of looking forward to that of being a team that can be competitive and have a lot of really good pieces and really good players I can learn from." His mom then chimed in, saying, "They want to win a championship as much as you do, and you're not a good loser, and that's a win for us." It remains to be seen how much of an impact Cooper Flagg will make in his first year with the Mavericks, but his latest take and his mom's remarks should certainly raise hopes that he will be a big difference-maker for Dallas. Advertisement For what it's worth, prior to the NBA Draft, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James took note of Cooper Flagg's ability and expressed his belief that the former Duke standout "wants to be great."

Mark Cuban, 66, Reveals Truth About Buying Mavericks Without Hesitation
Mark Cuban, 66, Reveals Truth About Buying Mavericks Without Hesitation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before Mark Cuban sold his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks in 2023, he ran the franchise for 24 years after buying it in 1999. Advertisement Cuban spent $285 million to purchase a majority stake in the team from then-owner Ross Perot Jr. After he took over, the billionaire established himself as one of the most passionate and active owners in the league. Under Cuban's ownership, the Mavericks reached the NBA Finals twice and won it all in 2011, when Dirk Nowitzki and company took down LeBron James and the Miami Heat. In several interviews in the past, Cuban has consistently said that he bought the Mavericks because he saw an opportunity to improve the team's management and on-court performance. The 66-year-old businessman doubled down on that claim, all while also giving a blunt response on how he was able to buy the team in an appearance on the "High Performance" podcast. Advertisement Host Jake Humphrey asked Cuban about his "secret to setting that target and then making it happen." "I got rich," Cuban said before laughing. It's worth noting that in 1999, Cuban sold his company, to Yahoo for $5.7 billion. Former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban speaks out on his purchase of the team in Miron-Imagn Images The former "Shark Tank" star proceeded to say that he wanted to get the Mavericks after he saw that there was "no energy in the arena" when he attended the first game of the season, noting that he thought he "could do better than this." Months later, Cuban was the owner of the Mavericks. For what it's worth, Mark Cuban did say in a 2024 conversation with Draymond Green that "it was all about fun" when he took over the Mavericks and that he "didn't even negotiate," per CNBC. Advertisement Cuban was rich and had the money to buy the team he loved, so it was an easy decision for him.

Bucks land Myles Turner on $107 million deal, waive Damian Lillard in NBA free agency stunner
The Bucks are doing what they can to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo from wanting to leave — and that includes kicking a former prized trade acquisition to the curb. Milwaukee is signing former Pacers center Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million contract that includes a player option and full 15 percent trade kicker, according to ESPN. The franchise is waiving injured guard Damian Lillard — sidelined with a torn Achilles tendon — and stretching his contract over the next five seasons to make the contract work, per the outlet. However, in a twist, the Bucks' franchise player is not pleased with the team moving on from Lillard, per Chris Haynes. This transaction is perhaps the wildest since NBA free agency opened Monday.

Follow The Post's live updates for the latest NBA free agency signings, news and rumors. In swooped Milwaukee, which is dealing with trade rumors regarding Antetokounmpo.

Getty Images Lillard, who turns 35 this month, had two years and roughly $122.6 million left on his deal. If this deal truly angers Antetokounmpo, it could create a messy problem for the franchise.
