Clijsters, Henin among third-round winners at WimbledonTennis Betting Lines06/25/2010 - Wimbledon, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin were each third-round winners on Friday at Wimbledon and will meet next Monday in the round of 16 at the All England Club. The eighth-seeded Clijsters rolled to a 6-3, 6-3 triumph over Russia's Maria Kirilenko, while the 17th-seeded Henin thumped another Russian, 12th-seeded Nadia Petrova, 6-1, 6-4. Clijsters has dropped just 14 games in her first three matches of this fortnight. She is playing at Wimbledon for the first time since a semifinal appearance in 2006, as her comeback from a two-year layoff to start a family began last summer and resulted in a surprising U.S. Open title. Henin, meanwhile, is in her comeback season after a nearly two-year hiatus. She retired in the spring of 2008 while sitting as the top-ranked player in women's tennis and is now trying to capture the only Grand Slam title that has eluded her. In seven previous Wimbledon appearances, Henin has been a runner-up twice. She lost to Venus Williams in the 2001 final and fell to Amelie Mauresmo in the 2006 title match. Clijsters and Henin have split 24 career meetings in a series that dates back to 1998. The two played twice earlier this year. Clijsters won a third-set tiebreaker in the final at the Australian Open tuneup in Brisbane and again prevailed in another third-set tiebreak in the semifinals at Miami. Henin won the lone previous meeting at Wimbledon in the 2006 semifinals. Other winners Friday included fourth-seeded Jelena Jankovic of Serbia and 11th-seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli. Jankovic blitzed Alona Bondarenko of the Ukraine, 6-0, 6-3, while Bartoli, the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up, eased past Hungary's Greta Arn, 6-3, 6-4. Williams, the five-time champion and this year's second seed, will play later Friday against Russia's Alisa Kleybanova.

Sportsbook accepts U.S. credit cardsSportsbooks That Take US Credit Cards for NFL football bettingSportsbooks that take credit cards are not always easy to come by....Everything from credit card companies denying gambling transactions to the fear of chargebacks by customers has slowed down sportsbook credit card transactions by a high percentage. There are however still sportsbooks that take credit cards. When using your credit card it is highly recommended that you try either: MySportsbook.com or Sportsbooks.com. Both sportsbooks have a high rate of accepting credit cards and will save you the time and hassle of looking around the web to make a credit card transaction. American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6 The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines. Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada! We do know the 24 finalists however. Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. "Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed. Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. "I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community." Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) And the others: Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far. MySportsbook.com is offering a 20% signup bonus with an initial deposit (i.e. open your American Idol betting account with $300, receive another $60 in which to bet with). Last two contestants will be? 1 Male/1 Female +100 (a $10 bet pays $10 plus your initial $10) 2 Males +170 (a $10 bet pays $17 plus your initial $17) 2 Females +130 (a $10 bet pays $13 plus your initial $10) MySportsbook.com is an online sportsbook accepts Visa Credit Cards and online sportsbook accepts Mastercard Credit Cards for easy American Idol betting lines. |
