Arenas out of halfway house
Basketball Betting Lines
05/07/2010 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas on
Friday morning reportedly left the halfway house where he was confined as part
of his sentencing for a felony gun charge.
Arenas was sentenced to 30 days in the halfway house, and The Washington Post
reported that he left at 7 a.m. and returned home. Arenas was also sentenced
to two years probation, and was also required to register as a gun offender,
donate $5,000 to victims of violent crimes fund and complete 400 hours of
community service.
The punishment came as a result of Arenas pleading guilty in January to the
charge of carrying a pistol in the District of Columbia without a license. He
was sentenced in late March.
The problems for Arenas began in December, when he and teammate Javaris
Crittenton reportedly got into an argument after a card game. Crittenton
allegedly said he should shoot Arenas in his surgically repaired left knee.
On December 21, at Verizon Center, Arenas is said to have placed guns on a
chair next to Crittenton's locker with a note that said "pick one." Arenas has
indicated that he brought the guns in as a prank.
Arenas and Crittenton were suspended by NBA commissioner David Stern for the
rest of the season on January 27, following Arenas' guilty plea. But as that
has run out, Arenas is free to continue playing basketball. He has four
seasons left on his contract with the Wizards.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
