Clijsters, Hingis cruise into round three at Aussie Open

Tennis Betting Lines

01/18/2007 - Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fourth seed Kim Clijsters and sixth seed Martina Hingis rolled into the third round at the Australian Open with quick straight set wins Thursday.

Rain delayed the start of Thursday's play on all outside courts, but Hingis and Clijsters were able to complete their matches due to the roofs over Rod Laver Arena and Vodafone Arena.

Clijsters, appearing in her final Aussie Open, beat Japan's Akiko Morigami, 6-3, 6-0 in just under an hour. The Belgian star is fresh off her title last week in Sydney.

The 2005 U.S. Open champion Clijsters has reached at least the semifinals in her last four trips to Melbourne, where she was the 2004 runner-up to her fellow Belgian stalwart Justine Henin-Hardenne. Clijsters has already announced that she will retire from professional tennis after this season.

Hingis, a six-time Aussie Open finalist, breezed past little-known Russian Alla Kudryavtseva, 6-2, 6-2. The five-time major champion Hingis captured this Grand Slam event back-to-back-to-back from 1997-99 and was the runner-up from 2000-02.

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.
