Tennis Betting Lines

05/06/2010 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Croat Marin Cilic was a hard-fought second-round winner Thursday at the clay-court BMW Open, a French Open tune-up.

The Aussie Open semifinalist Cilic had to come from behind to beat German crowd favorite Simon Greul 6-7 (6-8), 6-2, 7-5 at MTTC Iphitos. Cilic topped another German, Michael Berrer, here on Wednesday.

Cilic needed 2 hours, 31 minutes to hold off a game Greul, who could manage only one break of serve in the tough setback.

The world No. 11 Cilic will face sixth-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro in Friday's quarterfinals. Almagro held off South African Kevin Anderson 6-2, 5-7, 7-6 (7-5) on Day 5 here.

Two other seeds reached the round of eight, as fourth-seeded former champion Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany drilled Spaniard Santiago Ventura 6-2, 6-1 and fifth-seeded former Aussie Open runner-up Marcos Baghdatis handled Swiss Marco Chiudinelli 6-3, 6-4.

Kohlschreiber and the Cypriot Baghdatis will do battle here on Friday.

The other quarterfinals will pit second-seeded 2009 Munich runner-up Mikhail Youzhny against Czech Jan Hajek and third-seeded and defending BMW titlist Tomas Berdych versus German Philipp Petzschner. Berdych beat Youzhny in last year's finale here. Youzhny was also a runner-up at this event in 2007, losing to Kohlschreiber.

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.
