Boston Celtics 2010 Draft Preview
Basketball Betting Lines
06/21/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Celtics came up just short in their bid for a second
NBA championship in three years when they fell to their long-time rival, the
LA Lakers, in Game 7 of The Finals.
Now the questions in Beantown revert to the off the floor stuff, most notably
the futures of head coach Doc Rivers and veteran shooting guard Ray Allen.
Rivers would like to spend more time with his children and isn't quite sure if
you would like to go through the NBA grind again. He almost certainly will not
if basketball chief Danny Ainge can't keep together the core of this
championship contender.
As for Allen, the thought was he would leave via free agency but now it looks
as if the C's are seriously considering bringing back the former All-Star with
a reasonable deal for both sides.
Boston will select 19th in the first round, a pretty high pick for a team that
made a serious run at the NBA title. Since Allen is still a big question mark,
expect the Celtics to take a flyer on Texas guard Avery Bradley, an undersized
freshman that is a pure shooter and scorer.
Players under contract: F Glen Davis; F Kevin Garnett; C Kendrick Perkins; G
Rajon Rondo; F/C Rasheed Wallace
Free Agents: G: Ray Allen (Unrestricted); G Tony Allen (Unrestricted);
G Marquis Daniels (Unrestricted); G-F Michael Finley (Unrestricted);
F Paul Pierce (Early termination); G Nate Robinson (Unrestricted);
F Brian Scalabrine (Unrestricted); F-C Shelden Williams (Unrestricted)
Draft picks: 1st round (19th overall), 2nd round (52nd overall)

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

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.
