Tennis Betting Lines

04/09/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seed Chilean Fernando Gonzalez and former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt moved into the quarterfinals at the $500,000 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship, but second-seeded American John Isner was upset on Thursday.

Gonzalez, who titled here 10 years ago, outlasted South African qualifier Kevin Anderson, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 on the final match of the night Thursday.

The fourth-seeded and reigning Houston champion Hewitt outlasted Indian lucky- loser Somdev Devvarman 1-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-2) in the second round at River Oaks Country Club. Hewitt prevailed in 1 hour, 53 minutes.

This marked Hewitt's first action since late January after undergoing right hip surgery. The Aussie star previously had surgery on his left hip.

The Hewitt-Devvarman match was rained out here on Wednesday.

The two-time major champion Hewitt, who enjoyed an opening-round bye this week, defeated American Wayne Odesnik in last year's finale here.

Hewitt's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be dangerous Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela.

Belgian Xavier Malisse upended Isner, 7-6 (7-3), 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3) in a 2 1/2 hour encounter. Isner lost despite firing 14 aces.

Third-seeded American Sam Querrey eased into the quarters with a 6-2, 6-1 drubbing of Slovenian Blaz Kavcic. Querrey smacked six aces, notched four service breaks, and held his serve throughout the brief 60-minute affair.

The 6-foot-6 Querrey will meet Chilean veteran Nicolas Massu in the round of eight.

The aforementioned Odesnik advanced here on Day 4 with a 6-1, 7-5 decision against Russian Mikhail Kukushkin.

In other second-round play, sixth-seeded Argentine Horacio Zeballos handled Israeli Dudi Sela 6-3, 6-2. Zeballos will next meet Gonzalez, while Malisse meets Odesnik.

The 2010 Houston winner will earn $79,900.

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.
