Hockey Betting Lines

03/14/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sean Avery scored a pair of goals, as the New York Rangers topped Philadelphia, 3-1, at Madison Square Garden.

Michal Rozsival notched the other goal, while Erik Christensen and Chris Drury picked up two assists each for the Rangers, who have won two games following a four-game losing streak to move to within one point of idle Boston for eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Henrik Lundqvist needed to make just 17 stops to win his 28th game of the season.

Danny Briere picked up the lone goal for the Flyers, who could not capitalize on a win in the final seconds against Chicago on Saturday.

Michael Leighton allowed all three goals on 21 shots in defeat.

Briere's power-play score from the left circle 4:13 into the contest put the Flyers ahead.

Avery knotted the score 1:53 into the second period, then Rozsival ripped a shot off the left post from the point on a Rangers power play for a 2-1 game at 4:54.

Avery then put New York ahead by two with 5:55 left in regulation with a wrister from the left boards that beat Leighton under the crossbar.

The Flyers went with an extra skater for the final 1:44 of regulation and failed to make a dent in their deficit.

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.
