Basketball Betting Lines
06/24/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks and New Jersey Nets traded first-round picks during the NBA Draft Thursday night.
The Nets obtained forward Damion James, who was the 24th overall pick out of the University of Texas. Atlanta got shooting guard Jordan Crawford, who was taken 27th out of Xavier.
Additionally, the Hawks received German center Tibor Pleiss, who was taken 31st overall in the draft by the Nets. Pleiss was then dealt to Oklahoma City for cash considerations.
James finished his career at Texas with school records in rebounds, consecutive games played and games started. He also set the Big 12 record with 1,318 rebounds and 54 double-doubles.
Crawford gained headlines after dunking on LeBron James at the Skills Academy in the summer of 2009. He led the Atlantic 10 Conference in scoring at 20.5 ppg.

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.
