Cavs and Bucks clash at the "Q"Basketball Betting Lines03/31/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Bucks have surprisingly been one of the NBA's best teams over the second half of this season. The up-and-coming club will get a chance to see just how far it's come when it pays a visit to Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena tonight for a showdown with the powerful Cavaliers. Milwaukee is closing in on its first postseason appearance since 2005-06 and enters this evening's Central Division clash having won 17 of its past 21 contests. That impressive run has vaulted the Bucks into fifth place in the Eastern Conference, 1 1/2 games ahead of sixth-seeded Miami. "We've had a successful season up to this point, but there's still a lot of room for improvement," said center Andrew Bogut after last night's 107-89 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. "It's a good sign for the franchise." The Bucks extended their margin over the Heat with Tuesday's triumph over the non-contending Los Angeles Clippers, capping a five-game homestand in which the team finished 3-2. Ersan Ilyasova led the way with 20 points and eight rebounds off the bench, with rookie Brandon Jennings adding 17 points and six assists from his point guard position. Holding a slim four-point edge early in the second quarter, the Bucks outscored the Clippers 22-10 to take a comfortable 56-40 lead with just over 1 1/2 minutes remaining until halftime and maintained a double-digit cushion the rest of the way. While Milwaukee has clearly turned the corner following a string of poor seasons, the team hasn't been able to garner much success in this series in recent years. The Bucks did snap a six-game losing streak to the Cavaliers with a 92-85 home win on March 6, but have left with defeats in four straight and 12 of their last 13 visits to Quicken Loans Arena. Then again, there haven't been many teams able to knock off Cleveland in its own building as of late. The Cavaliers are a stellar 32-4 at "The Q" this season and recorded their eighth straight home win with Sunday's 97-90 decision over Sacramento. The victory was also the 15th in the last 17 overall outings for Cleveland, which boasts a league-best 58-16 ledger and a healthy six-game lead on Orlando for the top spot in the East. Against the Kings, LeBron James scored 23 of his game-high 34 points in the second half and the Cavaliers played stifling defense down the stretch to deny Sacramento's upset bid. Up just 85-84 with under minutes left, Cleveland went on a 9-2 run to build an eight-point advantage and limited the Kings to just 14 points in the fourth quarter. Sacramento failed to score over the final 2 1/2 minutes of the game. "It was a good win," said Cavs head coach Mike Brown. "I thought that in the fourth quarter, we stepped up our defense and that was the difference in the ball game." Antawn Jamison also made a difference for Cleveland, pouring in 26 points and nine rebounds to help ease the scoring load off James.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingLaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season. There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6 The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines. Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada! We do know the 24 finalists however. Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. "Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed. Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. "I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community." Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) And the others: Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far. MySportsbook.com is offering a 20% signup bonus with an initial deposit (i.e. open your American Idol betting account with $300, receive another $60 in which to bet with). Last two contestants will be? 1 Male/1 Female +100 (a $10 bet pays $10 plus your initial $10) 2 Males +170 (a $10 bet pays $17 plus your initial $17) 2 Females +130 (a $10 bet pays $13 plus your initial $10) MySportsbook.com is an online sportsbook accepts Visa Credit Cards and online sportsbook accepts Mastercard Credit Cards for easy American Idol betting lines. |
