Basketball Betting Lines

11/15/2008 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ray Allen finished with 27 points and made four key free throws late in overtime, as the Boston Celtics pulled out a 102-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Paul Pierce led Boston with 28 points -- including a 14-for-15 effort from the free-throw line. Kevin Garnett scored 15 before fouling out as the Celtics rebounded from a loss Friday to Denver. They have won seven of eight overall.

Andrew Bogut led Milwaukee with 20 points despite not playing in the final four minutes of regulation and overtime. He was ejected with 3:58 left after receiving his second technical foul.

Luke Ridnour finished with 19 points, which included the game-tying layup with 1.4 seconds in regulation, before also fouling out. The Bucks were coming off an overtime win over Memphis on Friday.

Neither team scored in overtime until Luc Richard Mbah a Moute went to the free throw line with half the time gone. He made both for a 95-93 Bucks edge. Pierce answered with a three-pointer from the top of the arc, but Garnett fouled out on the other end.

After the teams traded possessions, Dan Gadzuric took a dish from Ridnour for an emphatic dunk and a 97-96 Milwaukee lead with 1:07 left. On the play, Rajon Rondo ran directly into Pierce and the two players were shaken up but still were able to play.

Each team was unsuccessful on its next touch, but with 24.9 seconds on the clock Allen was fouled on a pass into the lane. He made both free throws for a 98-97 Celtics lead.

Richard Jefferson's shot rimmed out, then Allen grabbed the board and was fouled with 10.4 left. He made both shots again to put the Celtics up three. Milwaukee's ensuing touch did not go well, as Gadzuric attempted a mid-range shot that missed. Pierce went to the line with 3.6 on the clock and made two to seal the game.

The contest went to the extra session following a tight end of regulation. With Boston maintaining a slim lead, Ridnour canned a three-pointer to get the Bucks within two. Mbah a Moute then managed to hoist in a layup from the left side with several players dangled on his arms. He was fouled on the play and made the foul shot to give Milwaukee an 89-88 lead with just under three minutes left.

But Pierce put Boston back ahead, 93-89, with two free throws and a shot from behind the arc. Jefferson answered with a jumper, and after a few misses on the teams' next possessions, Milwaukee got the ball and a timeout with 45.7 ticks left.

Coming back into play, Jefferson drove into the lane but was called for pushing off to set up a jumper, keeping the Bucks down two. However, Pierce missed on the Celtics' turn downcourt, and Rondo knocked the ball out of bounds with 8.5 seconds left, giving Milwaukee one last chance.

Ridnour dribbled on the right side of the court, drove past Allen and put in an underhanded layup with 1.4 ticks left to knot the game at 93-93. The Celtics' last-gasp attempt was unsuccessful to send the contest to overtime.

A back-and-forth first quarter ended in a pair of Ramon Sessions free throws that brought the Bucks within 21-20. Boston stretched out its lead in the second quarter, and led 50-38 at halftime.

The game went back-and-forth again in the third quarter, and Boston led 71-59 going into the final stanza. But the Bucks got back into the contest on the strength of an eight-point burst. Mbah a Moute had a tip-in followed by a layup, and Jefferson made a pair of free throws and jumper to pull Milwaukee within 78-76 with 6:45 left in regulation.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
