Basketball Betting Lines
07/08/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls have officially signed free
agent power forward Carlos Boozer.
As per team policy, no terms of the deal were announced. However, the Chicago
Tribune is reporting the deal is for five years and worth $76 million.
Boozer spent the last six seasons with Utah and picked up a player option that
earned him $12.65 million in 2009-10 when he posted averages of 19.5 points,
11.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 56.2 percent from the floor in 78
games.
He posted 55 double-doubles, good for third best in the league last season,
and was one of 10 players league-wide who averaged a double-double.
"We are very happy to have Carlos join the Bulls. We are confident that his
skill set, toughness and leadership are all qualities that make him a great
fit for the Bulls, and he will add a low-post element to our team that we have
been searching for," said general manager Gar Forman. "Post players, with the
skills that Carlos possesses, are at a premium in the NBA and we believe that
we have landed one of the best big men in the NBA."
The eight-year pro previously played two seasons for Cleveland, which made
him a second-round pick out of Duke in 2002. In 510 career contests, 469 of
those starts, Boozer has recorded per-game averages of 17.2 points, 10.2
boards and 2.5 assists while connecting on 54.1 percent of his shots.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule.
