Horseracing Betting Lines

01/18/2012 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A large field of 13 three-year-olds has been entered for Saturday's $175,000 Lecomte Stakes at Fair Grounds Race Course. The mile and 70 yard event is the track's first stakes leading to the $1 million Louisiana Derby on April 1.

Zayat Stables has entered two horses in the stakes. Dan and Sheila, trained by Todd Pletcher, and Z Dager, conditioned by Steve Asmussen, will go off as a coupled entry. The two three-year-olds will start next to each other with Dan and Sheila breaking from post five with John Velazquez riding and Z Dager being ridden by Shane Sellers from the six hole.

Dan and Sheila won first time out on December 17 at Gulfstream Park. The Lecomte is just his second career start. Z Dager has already won at the mile and 70 yard distance, breaking his maiden two days before his stablemate at Fair Grounds.

The other coupled entry is Adena's Chance and Hero of Order, both owned and trained by Gennadi Dorochenko. Adena's Chance has drawn the inside post with Marlon St. Julien in the saddle and Iram Diego will ride Hero of Order from post 10.

The two colts are well experienced having 12 and nine starts, respectively. Adena's Chance has two wins, a maiden victory at Arlington Park last September and a claiming race win in October at Hawthorne. Hero of Order found the winner's circle for the first time earlier this month at Fair Grounds.

Here is the field for the Lecomte from the rail out: Adena's Chance, Marlon St. Julien; Ted's Folly, Jose Medina; Mr. Bowling, Robby Albarado; Exfactor, Shaun Bridgmohan; Dan and Sheila, John Velazquez; Z Dager, Shane Sellers; Seven Lively Sins, Rosie Napravnik; Alexander Thegreat, John Jacinto; Hammers Terror, James Graham; Hero of Order, Iram Diego; Chalybeate Springs, Brian Hernandez Jr.; Capetown Devil, Corey Lanerie and Shared Property, Leandro Goncalves.

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.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
