Serena withdraws from U.S. Open

Tennis Betting Lines

08/20/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Serena Williams has withdrawn from the U.S. Open because of a right foot injury she sustained last month.

The world No. 1 cut her foot on broken glass in a restaurant in July, an injury that required surgery and forced her to miss a series of events, including the current one in Montreal.

Williams, 28, is a 13-time Grand Slam winner and the reigning Australian Open and Wimbledon champion. She has won the U.S. Open three times, most recently in 2008.

"We regret that Serena Williams is unable to play the U.S. Open and wish her a speedy recovery," said tournament director Jim Curley in a statement. "She will be missed, but the tournament is about the competition and the players on the court. This year's U.S. Open will be a memorable event, as it has been every year."

Last year in New York, Williams reached the semifinals before losing to eventual champion Kim Clijsters under unusual circumstances. The American star was called for a foot fault that gave Clijsters match point, then was penalized a point following a tirade at the line judge.

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.
