Tennis Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Hamburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Third-seeded Austrian Jurgen Melzer was among the second-round winners Wednesday at the German Open Tennis Championships, while more seeded players fell out of the tournament.

Melzer advanced with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Argentine Eduardo Schwank and will face France's Jeremy Chardy in the third round. Chardy dumped 13th-seeded Philipp Petzschner, 6-3, 6-3, a day after ninth-seeded Gilles Simon, 11th- seeded Tommy Robredo and 15th-seeded Alexandr Dolgopolov lost.

Wednesday it was more of the same, as fifth-seeded Nicolas Almagro, eighth- seeded Albert Montanes, 12th-seeded Victor Hanescu and 16th-seeded Michael Berrer all lost.

Seventh-seeded Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil managed to advance, taking a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win over Italian qualifier Simone Bolelli. Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, the 10th seed, dropped the first set, but came back to earn a 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Argentina's Juan Ignacio Chela.

Almagro was defeated by Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin, who recorded a 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (9-7) victory. Spain's Pere Riba was a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (7-4) winner over Montanes, while Julian Reister of Germany ousted Hanescu by a 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 score. Italian Andreas Seppi defeated Berrer, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4).

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.
