Soccer Betting Lines

03/17/2010 - Leverkusen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayer Leverkusen have secured the future of Germany international Stefan Kiessling until the summer of 2015 with a new contract.

Kiessling has been rewarded with a new long-term deal on the back of a season where he currently leads the Bundesliga scoring charts with 16 goals.

"My family and I are very happy in Leverkusen and the club has excellent long- term potential," explained the striker. "Therefore, there is no reason for me to change anything."

Kiessling looks set to earn a place in Germany's World Cup squad for South Africa this summer following his stunning club form.

"We are extremely happy that, with Stefan Kiessling, we will continue to have one of the best German strikers among our ranks," added Leverkusen's director of sport Wolfgang Holzhauser.

"We had been in agreement for a while and now we have concluded the formalities."

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.
