These are your top 10 trending stories and betting markets for the past week as of Sunday August 10, 2025 here at Gambling911.com.
1. WNBA Dildo Betting (70451 Impressions This Week)
Up from 47450.
In our 26 year existence, we could never have conceived of a betting market that employed the WNBA and dildos. There was actually a time (very recently in fact) when few books even offered much in the way of WNBA wagering.
Gamblers went all-in on betting the color of the next dildo thrown onto the court of a WNBA game after the Dream-Valkyries July 29 game was interrupted by an NSFW moment in the fourth quarter, when what appeared to be a lime green colored dildo was thrown on the court.
"Nobody's picked the object up yet", said one game announcer during the disruption.
Days later, another green dildo was thrown onto the court of a game between the Valkyries and Chicago Sky.
Then came word of an arrest. That didn't stop a third sex toy from being thrown during the L.A. Sparks game Tuesday night.
Another arrest followed in recent days with an 18-year-old Phoenix man saying he was “very sorry” for the “stupid prank that was trending on social media.”
With reports that the WNBA sex toy incidents were started by Crypto meme coin group, we could see a resurgence in interest as traffic dropped significantly Thursday related to this story at Gambling911.com.
The group says the acts are a protest against the "toxic" environment in the crypto world and not meant to disrespect women athletes, though neither arrests related to these incidents appear to draw a line to this particular group, at least not yet.
From NBC News:
The creators of the “green dildo coin” token, which has its own website, have yet to publicly reveal their identities. But in an interview with NBC News, one of the backers, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, denied the scheme had anything to do with racism or misogyny, and was instead designed to promote the meme coin community, which he said is increasingly captured by “influencer cabals” and other bad actors.
“Our group is put together to make people laugh, make meme coins fun and funny again, and try to revive a culture of crypto that’s been lost,” he said.
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 (pictured above). If you know who he is, call Crime Stoppers.
BetOnline continues to offer betting on all things WNBA dildos.
2. (NEW) MLB Betting Analyses - Friday, Saturday (33153 Impressions This Week)
Unfortunately we had two plays on Friday, both of which lost.
Saturday's lone play was a winner with the Under on the Royals-Twins game.
Sunday delivered two more losses sadly.
3. Ohio Player Prop Bet Ban Fears (10887 Impressions This Week)
Effective March 1, 2024, you can no longer place prop bets on individual college athletes from the state of Ohio. This includes prop bets on Ohio State Buckeyes players. Local bookmakers and internationally licensed sports books will still be offering college player props for the 2025 season.
Governor DeWine wants this applied to pro sports like the NFL, NBA and MLB as well.
His stance comes in the wake of a gambling probe involving two Guardians players, both of whom had their lockers cleared out last week.
Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of a Major League Baseball investigation into sports betting.
A probe into Luis Ortiz was also underway. The Ortiz investigation is related to in-game prop bets on two pitches thrown by the right-hander that received higher activity than usual during his starts at Seattle on June 15 and against St. Louis on June 27. The gambling activity on the pitches was flagged by a betting-integrity firm and forwarded to MLB.
Some Ohio lawmakers appear resistant to DeWine's calls to prohibit prop bets, though none have formally stepped up to fully oppose these efforts. DeWine is specifically targeting micro prop bets, or live bets on a specific play in a game, which Legal Sports Report noted accounts for around 70% of handle in more mature markets like the United Kingdom.
4. Big Ten Passing, Receiving, Rushing Yard Leaders Betting Odds for 2025 (7070 Impressions This Week)
Up from 5863 impressions yesterday.
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 (6454 Impressions)
Up from 4313 impressions on Saturday.
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. Will the Brewers vs. Braves Game Be Postponed August 4? What Happens to My Bet? (4346 Impressions)

9. (NEW) Grand Prix of Portland Payout Odds (2912 Impressions This Week)
The Grand Prix of Portland is a race in the IndyCar Series held at the Portland International Raceway in Portland, Oregon. Initially part of the CART series, it is now part of the Champ Car World Series. BetUS has all your props and futures, including outrights to win, for this weekend's race.
Alex Palou was the -140 odds-on favorite with everyone else promising a payout of $550 or more on every $100 bet.
Will Power won the 2025 BitNile.com Grand Prix of Portland, marking his first victory of the season and helping Team Penske avoid an entirely winless season. Palou, despite finishing third, secured his fourth IndyCar Series championship.
Power went on to pay out $900 for every $100 bet.
10. South Park Season 27 Betting Now Available at Kalshi (2704 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%.
