Tennis Betting Lines

10/26/2008 - St. Petersburg, Russia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Andy Murray crushed Kazakhstan qualifier Andrey Golubev, 6-1, 6-1, in the final of the St. Petersburg Open.

Murray, who ousted third-seeded Fernando Verdasco in straight sets to reach the final of this tournament, did not register an ace but did convert on 5-of-8 break point chances. Both players had two double faults in Sunday's final.

Golubev failed to break Murray's serve, as he was 0-for-2 when he had the opportunity.

The 21-year-old Murray has won this tournament for the second straight year. He became the first British player to win back-to-back tour level titles since Mark Cox did it in 1975.

Murray walked away with $171,100 as the champion. He improved to an impressive 53-14 this season.

Golubev, 21, downed Victor Hanescu, 6-3, 6-0, in his semifinal match. He played in his first ATP final, and collected $92,400 as runner-up for this tournament.

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.
