12/09/2006 - Reno, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bragging rights in the Silver State are on the line tonight as the 20th-ranked Nevada Wolf Pack welcome the UNLV Runnin' Rebels to the Lawlor Events Center in Reno.
The Pack have run out to a perfect 7-0 mark in the first month of the 2006-07 campaign and recently took out California by a score of 77-71 during the Pete Newell Challenge in San Jose on Sunday night.
As for the Rebels, they too have gotten off to a strong start as far as wins and losses are concerned, going six up and two down to this point. On Tuesday night, the team captured its second win of the season against the Hawaii Warriors, this time posting a narrow 61-58 victory out in Honolulu.
With respect to the all-time series between these two schools on the hardwood, the Rebels may hold a commanding 48-19 advantage over Nevada, but the last three meetings have been claimed by the Wolf Pack. The most recent of those conquests took place last season in Las Vegas with a 68-61 triumph.
Single free throws by Wink Adams and Curtis Terry in the waning moments proved to be the difference at the Stan Sheriff Center on Tuesday as the Rebels captured the three-point victory over Hawaii. Wendell White recorded a double- double for UNLV with his 20 points and 11 rebounds, while Adams and Gaston Essengue accounted for 15 and 12 points, respectively, to make up for a lackluster effort by Kevin Kruger who made just 1-of-7 shots from the floor to eventually finish with eight points and four of the team's seven assists. White, the scoring leader in half the team's games thus far, is currently pouring in 15.5 ppg thanks to 53.0 percent shooting from the field. Unfortunately, his woeful 51.5 percent effort at the free-throw line prevents him from being recognized as one of the top scorers in the Mountain West Conference at the moment. Kruger was supposed to be the top addition to this squad, but even though he's putting up 11.2 ppg and is first with 27 assists through his six games, it's hard to overlook his 37 percent accuracy from the field and meager 27.5 percent effort out on the perimeter.
What makes Nevada such a dangerous team this season is the fact that Nick Fazekas doesn't always have to be the savior for the group. Against California he put up just 12 points, although he was the top guy with 16 rebounds, adding three assists and a pair of blocks to his stat line. Marcelus Kemp tallied a team-high 20 points, followed by Ramon Sessions who scored 19 points and handed out a team-best six assists as well. Kyle Shiloh chipped in 14 points in 23 minutes. Once determined to make himself into a legitimate inside-outside threat, someone got into the head of Fazekas and convinced him that his strength was in the paint, which is why he is currently leading the nation in rebounding with close to 14 caroms per contest. As a top-20 scorer with 22.6 ppg, there are few in college basketball who rival his talent, just as long as he doesn't stray too far, too often. He still has his touch on the outside where he's made 53.3 percent, but he would be doing himself and Nevada a great disservice if he didn't work to his strengths. Kemp (19.1 ppg) has been more than capable at taking over the perimeter shooting with his 20-of-41 effort behind the three-point line.

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.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
Be sure to log onto online sports betting site MySportsbook.com to check out the odds for who will lead the MLB in home runs this season. Below is just a sample of the players listed. With the highest credit card rates in the industry, MySportsbook.com is the place to bet on baseball this summer.
