Hoyas send Huskies to fourth straight lossNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/01/2012 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hollis Thompson had 18 points, leading No. 14 Georgetown over Connecticut, 58-44, on Wednesday night and sending the Huskies to their first four-game losing streak in almost two years. Henry Sims added 13 points and Jason Clark scored 11 for the Hoyas (17-4, 7-3 Big East), who bounced back from a loss at Pittsburgh on Saturday to win for the fourth time in five games. The reigning champion Huskies (14-7, 4-5) have dropped four in a row for the first time since February 28-March 9, 2010, on the way to missing the NCAA Tournament. They were led in this one by Andre Drummond's 18 points and Jeremy Lamb's 14. Connecticut fell out of the rankings for the first time in 28 weeks following losses to Cincinnati, Tennessee and Notre Dame and will get its next chance to snap out of it Saturday against Seton Hall. Georgetown trailed by six points several times early on, but took the lead for good with a 7-0 run later in the first half. Thompson's three-pointer capped it, giving the Hoyas an 18-15 advantage. It was part of a larger 20-6 run to end the half, which made it 31-21 at the break, and an overall 23-6 burst that ended on Thompson's three-pointer early in the second. Thompson was 3-for-7 on three-pointers and Georgetown went 5-of-13 as a team while shooting 43.8 percent overall. The Huskies went just 2-for-20 from long range -- Lamb had both makes -- and shot 30 percent. Connecticut was within six points with less than eight minutes remaining, but the Hoyas used a 10-2 run to put the game away. Sims' layup made it 55-41 with 3:49 to play and the Huskies were never closer than 12 after that. Game Notes Georgetown remains in D.C. to play South Florida on Saturday...Thompson had a game-high nine rebounds...Sims had seven of Georgetown's 15 turnovers...The Huskies shot just 6-for-13 on free throws.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007. As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season. Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises. Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres. Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.
