Tennis Betting Lines

02/26/2010 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Russian Elena Dementieva cruised to a straight-set victory over Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia in the quarterfinals of the Malaysian Open.

Dementieva dismantled the seventh-seeded Rybarikova in a mere 62 minutes with a 6-0, 6-3 rout. She has dropped just 11 games in three matches this week.

The seventh-ranked player in the world has already won a pair of titles in 2010, beating Serena Williams for the Sydney crown in January and toppling Lucie Safarova for the Paris Indoors championship two weeks ago.

Dementieva, trying for her 17th career WTA Tour singles title, will next face sixth-seeded Sybille Bammer in Saturday's semifinals. The Austrian advanced Friday with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Taiwan's Kai-Chen Chang.

Saturday's other semifinal will pit Russian fourth seed Alisa Kleybanova against unseeded Ayumi Morita of Japan.

Kleybanova rallied for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over former countrymate, now Australian, Anastasia Rodionova on Friday, while Morita dumped South Africa's Chanelle Scheepers, 6-3, 7-5.

This week's titlist will claim $37,000.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
