76ers make a stop at Golden State sans A.I.Basketball Betting Lines02/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers will be without the services of star guard Allen Iverson tonight as the team hopes to secure its first win in five years over the Golden State Warriors in Oakland. Iverson has left the Sixers again and is out indefinitely to spend time with his ailing daughter. The enigmatic guard will miss at least the remaining three games on Philadelphia's road trip and may not be brought back at all this season. Various sources have reported that Philadelphia is seriously considering letting Iverson walk. The 11-time All-Star has already missed five games and the this year's mid- season classic to be with his family when the health issue surfaced earlier this month, although Iverson has not disclosed what is wrong with his four- year-old daughter, Messiah. Sixers president Ed Stefanski says it was in the best interest of the team and Iverson to allow him time with his family to deal with a "very serious issue." On the floor the Sixers are coming off a blowout loss to Chicago in the Windy City on Saturday. Rookie Taj Gibson was one of seven Bulls to score in double figures in that one as he tied a career-high with 20 in Chicago's 122-90 rout of Philadelphia. Andre Iguodala had 23 points for the Sixers, who opened a four-game road trip by losing for the third time in four overall contests. They'll also take on Phoenix and the Lakers during the swing. Thaddeus Young scored 17 to go with eight rebounds for Philadelphia, which failed to build on a 106-94 home win over San Antonio on Friday. Iverson ended with 13 points and Lou Williams 10 in defeat. This marked the second time in less than a week the Sixers lost by a huge number. They were throttled, 105-78, at home by Miami on Tuesday. "We didn't answer their runs," Sixers coach Eddie Jordan said. The Warriors, meanwhile, improved to 2-1 on a six-game homestand Sunday when Stephen Curry poured in a game-best 32 points and his technical free throw with 34.6 seconds remaining proved to be the difference, as Golden State rallied to defeat the Atlanta Hawks, 108-104. Curry also pulled down nine rebounds for the Warriors while Monta Ellis added 26 points and five rebounds. C.J. Watson donated 15 points and six assists off the bench for Golden State, which shot 53.6 percent from the field. "The force was with us tonight which was great to see," Warriors head coach Don Nelson said. "It was great to see Monta [Ellis] come back and compete. He guarded their best player, basically, one-on-one. He got a steal for us, made free throws, and was a big factor down the stretch. It was one of those games where we pulled all of the right strings, made shots, and the force was with us. We were a little lucky too, but we'll take it." Philly last topped the Warriors in Oakland on Jan. 3, 2005.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet). For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win. TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures. Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
