Tennis Betting Lines

05/08/2009 - Belgrade, Serbia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Serbian hero Novak Djokovic was an easy quarterfinal winner Friday at the inaugural clay-court Serbia Open.

The top-seeded Djokovic drilled fifth-seeded fellow Belgrade native Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-2 in 1 hour, 9 minutes at this French Open tune-up. The world No. 3 Djokovic was last week's Italian Masters runner-up to clay- court stalwart Rafael Nadal.

The former Australian Open champion and former U.S. Open runner-up Djokovic will face fourth-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi in Saturday's semifinals, as Seppi handled Brazilian Marcos Daniel 6-4, 7-5 on Day 5 here.

The other semifinal will pit second-seeded Croat Ivo Karlovic against unheralded Pole Lukasz Kubot, as the 6-foot-10 Karlovic whipped Italian qualifier Flavio Cipolla 6-3, 6-3 and the lucky-loser Kubot doused Belgian Kristof Vliegen 7-6 (8-6), 6-3.

This week's titlist will pocket $100,000.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
