New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The NBA has set the salary cap for the 2010-11
season at $58.044 million.
This year's cap marks a surprising increase from 2009-10, when it was $57.7
million. The current figure is higher than the $56.1 million projected in
April by commissioner David Stern.
With the salary cap in place, teams can start to officially sign players and
make trades at 12:01 a.m. (et) on Thursday, July 8. The tax level for teams
is $70.307 million.
In addition, the mid-level exception for next season is set at $5.765 million,
while the minimum team salary, which is 75 percent of the cap, is set at
$43.533 million.
Any team whose team salary exceeds that figure will pay a $1 tax for each $1
by which it exceeds $70.307 million.
Some teams have already verbally agreed to deals with the New York Knicks set
to get Amare Stoudemire, the Heat coming to terms with Dwyane Wade and Chris
Bosh, and the Chicago Bulls reportedly landing Carlos boozer.
The biggest name in free agency, LeBron James, is set to announce his decision
Thursday night.

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.
