Tennis Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Indian Wells, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sixth-seeded Jelena Jankovic snuck into the fourth round, while third-seeded Victoria Azarenka and 14th-seeded Kim Clijsters were third-round losers Monday at the $4.5 million BNP Paribas Open tennis event.

Spaniard Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, the 28th seed, took down Azarenka of Belarus 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 at the beautiful Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Another upset came when 23rd-seeded Russian Alisa Kleybanova upended former world No. 1 Clijsters 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7-4) in two hours, 36 minutes.

The U.S. Open champion Clijsters raced out to a 4-0 lead in the third-set tiebreaker. Kleybanova, though, ripped off the next seven points to stun Clijsters, the Indian Wells winner in 2003 and 2005.

Jankovic of Serbia outlasted Italian Sara Errani, 2-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 in two hours, 48 minutes to secure her spot in the fourth round. Jankovic won despite committing 57 unforced errors, compared to 42 for Errani.

Former world No. 1 Jankovic was down two games, 4-2, in the final set before winning the final four games to claim victory.

Eighth-seeded Aussie Samantha Stosur moved on by besting 25th-seeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 6-3, 6-0. Pavlyuchenkova captured her first-ever WTA title in Mexico just two weeks ago.

Russian Vera Zvonareva, the 12 seed, handled Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia, 6-2, 6-3, while Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, the 13 seed, ousted Italian Roberta Vinci, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. Zvonareva beat Ana Ivanovic in last year's Indian Wells finale.

In additional Day 6 action, 17th-seeded Israeli Shahar Peer upended ninth- seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta, 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 6-1, while Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro took down 27th-seeded Agnes Szavay of Hungary, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.

The 2010 Indian Wells winner will earn a hefty $700,000.

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.
