Basketball Betting Lines
07/13/2010 -
Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics have re-signed guard Ray
Allen, the team announced Tuesday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but reports from last week said Allen
agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract.
"Re-signing Ray has been a priority of ours this offseason and this move will
allow us to stay at a championship level," said Danny Ainge, Celtics president
of basketball operations.
Allen averaged 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game over 80
contests last regular season. He also averaged 16.1 points during the team's
playoff run, which ended with a Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the
NBA Finals.
During the championship series, Allen set an NBA Finals record by sinking
eight three-point shots in a Game 2 victory.
"I am ecstatic to be back in Boston," Allen said. "I cannot wait to get onto
the court and get back to work with the rest of the team in pursuit of Banner
18."
Over 14 seasons in the NBA, Allen has averaged 20.5 points in 1,022 games. He
ranks second in NBA history in three-pointers made (2,444) and attempted
(6,176).

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
