Basketball Betting Lines

02/26/2009 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Celtics guard Gabe Pruitt apologized Thursday after his early morning arrest for drunken driving.

According to the Boston Herald, the 22-year-old USC product was pulled over just prior to 3 a.m. in a Mercedes Benz stopped at a green light in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles police department gave the Herald the official information, which includes his arrest and trip to the LAPD's Hollywood division jail where he was booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge.

"I sincerely apologize for my actions which have caused unnecessary embarrassment to my family, my team and the Celtics organization," Pruitt said in a statement issued by the team to the Herald. "I used poor judgment and I am really disappointed in myself."

Pruitt's bail was set at $5,000. He is a Los Angeles area native after playing college basketball for the Trojans. Pruitt was back in the area for Boston's Wednesday night tilt versus the Clippers, and scored three points during the 93-91 loss.

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.
