The French Open bad beats continued on Tuesday, when I once again compiled a 1-2 record on my 3 best bets. Clara Burel had a Game point with Sara Sorribes Tormo serving at 4-2 in the second that would have clinched at least a push of the +4 Game spread. Burel proceeded to lose that Game and then drop serve immediately thereafter for a 7-6, 6-2 loss. Meanwhile, J.J. Wolf led Yoshihito Nishioka 2 sets to love before collapsing and losing in five. None was worse than Monday, when Arthur Fils trailed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 2 sets to 1 but led 3-0 in the fourth set. The Frenchman had to win just 1 more game to clinch sending the match over the 35.5 game total. Sure enough, Fils lost 6 consecutive games to end it at 35 and break the hearts of Over bettors – including myself. Alas, we move ahead as the season’s second Grand Slam continues into round 2 on Wednesday – when Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will be among those taking the court. Let’s take a look at the best bets to be ...

South Korea has launched a commercial-grade satellite for the first time as part of its growing space development program, as rival North Korea is pushing to place its first military spy satellite into orbit SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea successfully launched a commercial-grade satellite for the first time Thursday as part of its growing space development program, as rival North Korea is pushing to place its first military spy satellite into orbit. The two Koreas, technically in a state of war, have no military reconnaissance satellites of their own and both are eager to possess them. The South Korean launch Thursday will likely assist its efforts to develop a space-based surveillance system. The domestically built three-stage Nuri rocket lifted off from a launch facility on a southern island with a payload of eight satellites, including a main commercial-grade satellite whose mission is to verify radar imaging technology and observe cosmic radiation in a near-Earth orbit.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has opened Africa’s biggest oil refinery, with hopes it will help the country achieve self-sufficiency and become a net exporter of refined petroleum products ABUJA, Nigeria -- Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday opened Africa’s biggest oil refinery , with hopes it would help the energy-rich country achieve self-sufficiency and become a net exporter of refined Pet roleum products. The $19 billion facility built by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest man, in Nigeria’s economic hub of Lagos is one of the world’s biggest oil refineries and has a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. Some analysts have called it a “game-changer” for Nigeria’s oil and natural gas sector, which has been struggling for many years, while others say its capacity could be limited by oil theft. Most of Nigeria’s state-run refineries are poorly maintained and operating far below capacity. The West African nation must import refined petroleum products for its own use des...

The Minnesota Senate has passed a bill that would legalize recreational marijuana for people over the age of 21, making it the 23rd state to do so MINNEAPOLIS -- Senators in Minnesota passed a bill Saturday that would allow recreational marijuana use by people over the age of 21 and make it the 23rd state to legalize the substance for adults. The measure has already been approved by the House and now goes to Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, who has pledged to sign it into law. Supporters of the bill said it would improve public health and safety and further social justice, while opponents said health and safety would actually worsen. Under the measure it would become legal by Aug. 1 to possess, use and grow marijuana at home. Retail sales at dispensaries would probably be at least a year away. It includes a 10% tax on cannabis products on top of existing sales taxes and limits possession of cannabis flower to 2 pounds at home and 2 ounces in public.
