France completes whitewash of Spain

Tennis Betting Lines

07/11/2010 - Clermont-Ferrand, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gilles Simon and Julien Benneteau each won reverse singles matches for France on Sunday to complete a 5-0 rout of Spain in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.

The Spaniards were the two-time defending Davis Cup champs, but played this tie without world No. 1 Rafael Nadal.

Benneteau and Michael Llodra clinched the tie for France on Saturday with a doubles win over Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez, leaving Sunday's matches as dead rubbers.

Simon won the first over Nicolas Almagro, 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (9-7), before Benneteau finished off the sweep with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 triumph over Lopez.

France will host September's semifinals against Argentina, which pulled off a 3-2 upset of Russia in Moscow.

The French had taken control of the tie on Friday with singles victories from Gael Monfils and Llodra. Monfils needed five sets to topple David Ferrer before Llodra took out Verdasco in four.

France won for only the second time in seven all-time meetings against Spain and last beat their European rivals in the first matchup back in 1923.

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.
