09/05/2010 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top seed Rafael Nadal was an easy third-round winner Sunday at the U.S. Open, while fourth seed Andy Murray was given an early exit.
Nadal took the next step in his pursuit of a career Grand Slam, handling Gilles Simon of France 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The Spaniard, who is seeking his first U.S. Open title, will play countryman Feliciano Lopez for a spot in the quarterfinals.
The 23rd-seeded Lopez advanced to the fourth round after Ukraine's Sergiy Stakhovsky retired in the second set because of a right toe infection. Lopez was leading 6-3, 4-0 when Stakhovsky called it quits.
Murray, meanwhile, was ousted by Stanislas Wawrinka. The 25th-seeded Swiss rebounded from dropping the first set to take a 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 6-3 victory over the Scotsman.
Murray had not bowed out this early at Flushing Meadows since 2007, and was the runner-up to Roger Federer in 2008.
Wawrinka is into the fourth round at the U.S. Open for the third time in his career and first time since 2008, when he was beaten by Murray in straight sets.
Murray also thwarted Wawrinka in the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2009, but the steady Swiss got some payback Sunday. He will attempt to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal when he takes on 20th-seeded American Sam Querrey.
Querrey fired 42 winners and 19 aces to power his way to a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over 14th-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro. He matched his best performance at a Grand Slam event, and has reached the fourth round at two straight majors. The American also made it through to the fourth round at Flushing Meadows in 2008.
An eighth-seeded Fernando Verdasco dispatched Argentina's David Nalbandian 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. The Spaniard was a quarter-finalist here last year, losing to Serbian Novak Djokovic in four sets.
Another Spaniard through to the last 16 was 10th-seeded David Ferrer, who cruised past compatriot Daniel Gimeno-Traver 7-6 (7-2), 6-2, 6-2. Ferrer, who has not dropped a set en route to the fourth round, will next face Verdasco.
Also on Sunday, Spaniard Tommy Robredo advanced to the fourth round after Frenchman Michael Llodra retired in the fourth set. Robredo was leading at the time, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4, 2-1.

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.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
