Basketball Betting Lines

12/29/2009 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Sacramento Kings signed president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie to a multi-year contract extension on Tuesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Prior to Petrie's arrival in Sacramento in 1994, the Kings had advanced to the postseason only once in the previous nine seasons. Since he took over, the Kings have qualified for the playoffs in nine of the past 16 seasons. He is also a two-time NBA Executive of the Year award winner.

"First of all I want to thank Joe, Gavin and the rest of the Maloof family for the ongoing opportunity to grow our exciting young team," said Petrie. "We all are looking forward to a brighter and more successful future."

Under Petrie, the club claimed Pacific Division titles in 2001-2002 and 2002-03 and reached the 2002 NBA Western Conference Finals.

"Kings fans can rest assure that the future of this franchise is secure with Geoff Petrie leading the way," Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said. "He has a good eye and special ability to pick talent. We are pleased that Geoff will be with us for many more years. We're all looking forward to seeing this young, talented team rise."

In other team news, the Kings promoted Wayne Cooper to vice president of basketball operations and general manager and elevated Mike Petrie to assistant vice president of basketball operations.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.

MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
