<< Green Bay's Defense Saves the Day
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - So much focus and emphasis in regard to the Green Bay
Packers this season has been placed on Brett Favre, and rightfully so.
What has been lost in the shuffle though has been the outstanding defensive
play of the Packers,
<< Panthers use an ancient formula for success
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Consider the Carolina Panthers' 25-10 victory over the
Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday a win for the ages.
With No. 1 quarterback Jake Delhomme out for the season with a damaged right
elbow and backup David Carr dealing
<< Orioles claim P Novoa from Cubs
Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Orioles Tuesday claimed pitcher Roberto
Novoa off waivers from the Chicago Cubs.
Novoa, a 28 year-old righthander, spent the 2007 season on the disabled list
with a right humeral head fracture suffere
<< Cowboys just another opponent for Pats
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The week-long buildup ended in a familiar way for the New
England Patriots. In the end, the Dallas Cowboys were just another opponent.
And nobody undersold it more than their quarterback.
"It's really early in the season
<< Raiders Hit By Reality
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - No one can fault the Raiders or their fans for getting a
little excited about the club's 2-2 start. After all, it's not often that you
see a team match its win total from a year prior before the month of October.
However,
Jones-Drew runs rampant in Jags' win >>
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Penn State running back Ki-Jana Carter averaged
almost eight yards per carry during his final season in Happy Valley. It's no
wonder why the Nittany Lions went 12-0 that year and defeated Oregon in the
Rose Bowl, a gam
Mangini starting to lose that genius moniker >>
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It is easy to blame the New York Jets' pathetic 1-5 start
on quarterback Chad Pennington. He has certainly done his part to bring this
team back to the sub-mediocrity level their fan base has grown accustomed to
for all these
Harrington leads Grand Slam by one >>
Tucker's Town, Bermuda (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - British Open champion Padraig
Harrington posted a three-under-par 67 Tuesday to grab a one-stroke lead after
the first round of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf at the Mid Ocean Club.
U.S. Open ch
Giants standing tall after authoritative win >>
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The three-game win streak the New York Giants brought into
Monday night's battle with the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome came with
an asterisk attached to it. The club overcame shoddy first-half performances
in victories
Texans get trampled in Jacksonville >>
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Texans knew what they were up against this
past weekend in Jacksonville, but still couldn't find a way to stop it.
The Texans suffered a 37-17 loss to the AFC South-rival Jaguars Sunday at
Jacksonville Municipa
SPORTS BETTING - Tennis is an underrated and under-utilized bettors' sport.
Ten years ago, at just about this time, I called Alan Boston in Vegas and left him a voicemail that went something like this (abridged version): "Hey Alan, Chad Millman from ESPN The Magazine calling. I want to do a book about wise guys, you in?"
A couple weeks later I got a message back (abridged version): "I don't know, maybe," Boston said. "Call me and we'll talk about it. But not later today. I got $1,000 on Andre Agassi to win the French Open at 40-1, and he's in the finals."
Here's what happened next (abridged version): Agassi won his tourney. Boston won his $40,000. I wrote sportsbook.
In the ten years since, how much has been wagered on the big-time tennis events? Put it this way: The Nevada Gaming Commission doesn't even track the number year by year because it's so small.
"Tennis makes up about one-tenth of one percent of our take," says Lucky's bookmaking boss Jimmy Vaccaro. "The last big golf major we probably had $100,000 worth of bets. In tennis, we might have written two big tickets."
Tennis' lack of popularity amongst the American bettoratti is no surprise, really. For starters, the biggest sports betting holidays -- the Super Bowl, the NCAA tourney -- are must see TV. People, at least the degenerates I know, plan vacations around watching those events in Vegas sports books.
But Wimbledon? Doesn't exactly reel in the whales. "Seriously, it's the nuts as an event," says Boston. "But who even knows when it's on?"
Here's another reason that helps explain why golf gets traction, something I call "The Bubbe Theory." My Bubbe is pushing 95 and has cataracts so bad that, to her, even the most crystalline Chicago day is mostly cloudy. But she still listens to the Cubs games, and she still calls me in a fit if she disagrees with something Rick Telander writes in the Chicago Sun Times. She's a sports fan. If she doesn't know you, you're just filling a niche. And niche players, even historically good ones like Roger and Raf, don't drive betting volume. Only the highest profile names attract square money, which inflates wagering totals like a shot of saline to the lips. Bubbe, and the public, loved Agassi, tennis' last cross-the-rubicon, mainstream draw. She also has a crush on Tiger. She's given me standing orders to put a sawbuck on the big cat whenever I walk through a sports book (or mistakenly tap into one via my Internet machine.) That explains why the Masters is getting $100K in action at some books while the four tennis majors might not get that combined this year.
This isn't a case of tennis being a difficult sport to bet. In fact, in Europe, it's probably the second most popular sport for gambling after soccer. Granted, as the WSJ football betting last week and The Mag's Shaun Assael examined in even greater depth last year, that might be because gamblers across the pond see it as an easy game to fix. But it could also be because, over there it holds the kind of sway the big two do over here.
Street corners in Spain are peppered with public courts and kids doing their best Raffy impressions. In some war torn parts of Eastern Europe poverty-stricken kids view tennis as an escape route, like football or basketball here. A couple years ago The Mag's Lindsay Berra wrote a great piece about Belgrade's Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic. They learned the game as kids while bombs were raining down on their homeland. They practiced in drained swimming pools. Not exactly Nick Bolletierri conditions.
In the United States, casual fans think tennis is played four times a year. But on the tightly packed European continent, national interest in homegrown talent runs deep every weekend. Of the ATP's current top 20 players, only two, tennis betting and James Blake, are American. Fourteen are from Europe, representing six different countries.
No wonder fans from Lisbon to Bhudapest get jacked up for the net game, whether it's Wimbledon or a low-level tourney like the Estoril Open in Portugal (congrats to Spain's Albert Montanes for winning that one, btw). Chances are good that someone representing their flag will not only be playing, but have a shot at winning.
And that's all any bettor can ask for.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
Patriots -5 @ Jets +5
Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5
