Tennis Betting Lines

02/15/2012 - Rotterdam, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych and former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro were a pair of first-round winners Wednesday at the $1.6 million ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.

The second-seeded Berdych blew past Czech Lukas Rosol 6-4, 6-2, while a third- seeded del Potro held off French left-hander Michael Llodra 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4 on the indoor hardcourts at Ahoy Rotterdam.

Berdych titled in France two weeks ago.

Finnish veteran Jarkko Nieminen reached the quarterfinals here with a 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (7-2) second-round victory over Poland's Lukasz Kubot.

Additional opening-round wins came for Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, Russian Alex Bogomolov Jr. and Slovakian qualifier Karol Beck. The former Australian Open runner-up Baghdatis got past German Matthias Bachinger 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 on Day 3.

Wednesday's schedule also features a match for top-seeded former world No. 1 Roger Federer, who will face Frenchman Nicolas Mahut in his opener. Federer was the Rotterdam titlist the last time he played here back in 2005.

The 2012 Rotterdam winner will collect $385,000.

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.
