Davis drills late 3-pointer to lift Warriors over RocketsBasketball Betting Lines12/15/2006 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baron Davis hit the winning three-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining, as Golden State rallied from a four-point deficit in the final minute for a 109-107 victory over the Houston Rockets. Davis ended with 34 points and eight assists, as the Warriors won back-to-back contests following losses in five of six games. Monta Ellis had 17 points and Andris Biedrins 15 for Golden State, which snapped a three-game series skid and beat Houston in Oakland for just the fourth time in the last 22 meetings. Yao Ming had 38 points and 18 rebounds for Houston, but the center air-balled two shots in the final minute. Luther Head added 26 points and nine rebounds for the Rockets, who have lost consecutive games for the first time all season. Yao's left baseline jumper extended Houston's lead to 107-103 with 33.5 seconds left. Ellis then missed a three-pointer, but Mike Dunleavy got the offensive rebound and scored, eventually completing a three-point play after being fouled by Shane Battier with 29.3 seconds remaining. Yao then missed the basket on a hook shot from the right baseline. Davis got the rebound and dribbled up the court before firing a three from the top of the circle. Yao's long three-pointer was well short of the hoop as time expired. It was a great effort for Yao, who ended 15-of-32 from the field and 8-of-8 from the foul line. Dunleavy had 14 points and Mickael Pietrus tallied 11 for the Warriors. Golden State scored the first seven points and led 25-21 going into the second. It was 52-50 in favor of the Warriors at the half, but Houston used an 13-0 run at the start of the third quarter. The Warriors were behind 78-75 going into the fourth, but it was a tight battle throughout the final 12 minutes. Game Notes Golden State next heads on its longest road trip of the season, a six-game swing with stops in Phoenix, Toronto, New Jersey, Boston, Orlando and Miami...Rafer Alston had 19 points, six rebounds and eight assists for Houston, which also got 12 points from Battier.

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.
Super Bowl XLIV OddsSuper Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds. Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44. Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season. That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason. Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium. After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10. The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1). To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
