Tennis Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - New Haven, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ninth-seeded Sergiy Stakhovsky was an easy semifinal winner Friday at the $750,000 Pilot Pen Tennis event, a final hardcourt U.S. Open tune-up.

The Ukrainian Stakhovsky handled 12th-seeded Dutchman Thiemo De Bakker 6-3, 6-4 at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale. De Bakker was unable to break Stakhovsky's formidable serve on Day 6 here.

Stakhovsky's opponent in Saturday's final will be 10th-seeded Serb Viktor Troicki or 15th-seeded Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan.

The 24-year-old 6-foot-4 Stakhovsky, who upended top-seeded Marcos Baghdatis here on Thursday, will appear in his fourth career final, including his second of 2010. He titled in Den Bosch earlier this season and has yet to lose in a title tilt in his career (3-0).

The 2010 Pilot Pen champion will collect $93,630.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
