Mavs' Cuban charged with insider trading

Basketball Betting Lines

11/17/2008 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas Mavericks billionaire owner Mark Cuban has been charged with insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The outspoken and controversial Cuban, who made his fortune as an Internet entrepreneur, is being targeted for illegal trading of Mamma.com stock.

The SEC is alleging that Cuban began selling his six percent ownership stake in the company on June 28, 2004, after learning that Mamma.com was raising money through a private investment in a public entity, or PIPE.

The next day, the company announced the PIPE financing and shares of the company dropped by more than 10 percent.

According to the complaint, the SEC has alleged Cuban was aware the shares would be sold below market price, and ordered his broker to sell all shares in the search engine company. By selling his stake before the public announcement, the SEC said Cuban avoided more than $750,000 in losses.

The SEC is seeking to prohibit Cuban from engaging in future violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws; ordering him to disgorge, with prejudgment interest, any losses avoided as a result of his actions; and ordering Cuban to pay a civil money penalty.

The 50-year-old Cuban owns the Mavericks, HDNet, a national high-definition television network, and Landmark Theaters. He has also been rumored to be interested in purchasing a stake in Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
