Tennis Betting Lines

06/18/2007 - 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic highlighted Monday's first-round winners at the grass-court Ordina Open, a final Wimbledon tune-up.

Ljubicic came from behind to beat Frenchman Gael Monfils 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 at Autotron Rosmalen. The big-serving Croat will meet Italian Andreas Seppi in the second round here.

The Dutch faithful were treated to a win when veteran Peter Wessels, a qualifier this week, doused Frenchman Nicolas Devilder 6-4, 6-3.

In other action, Belgian Kristof Vliegen topped veteran Frenchman Fabrice Santoro 6-3, 1-1, French qualifier Antony Dupuis stopped Dutch wild card Thiemo De Bakker 7-5, 7-6 (7-1) and the aforementioned Seppi handled Austrian Alexander Peya 6-4, 6-4. Santoro retired because of a stomach problem.

A pair of matches were suspended because of rain, as sixth-seeded Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela was tied with Frenchman Julien Benneteau 2-2 and Thai Danai Udomchoke was leading Czech lucky-loser Lukas Dlouhy 2-1 when play was halted for the day.

This week's top seed is Spaniard Tommy Robredo. Croat Mario Ancic defeated Czech Jan Hernych in last year's finale here. The reigning two-time champion Ancic is not defending his titles this week.

Wimbledon will commence next Monday at the All England Club.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
