LeBron meets with Nets, Knicks

Basketball Betting Lines

07/01/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks were the first two teams to attempt to woo LeBron James to join them for the next stage of his superstar career.

Both teams met with James in Cleveland on Thursday. The Nets spoke with him first as a contingent of six, including owner Mikhail Prokhorov and head coach Avery Johnson, who made an hour-and-a-half presentation to the two-time MVP, according to the New York Post.

The Knicks were up next, spending about two hours with James. Five team executives, including owner James Dolan and general manager Donnie Walsh, explained that James was very non-committal in the meeting.

It has been reported that James would like to make his decision by Monday, and he is scheduled to meet with the Heat and Clippers on Friday, the Bulls on Saturday and the Cavaliers on Sunday.

It has been speculated that James' decision will trigger a domino effect on much of the remaining star-studded free agent class.

One of those premier free agents is Dwyane Wade, who returned to his hometown of Chicago to visit with the Bulls on the first day of free agency. He has spent his entire career with the Heat, and is expected to meet with them next week, according to a report in USA Today.

Chris Bosh, who some think is the most likely to depart his former team -- the Toronto Raptors -- met with the Heat in Chicago, per the USA Today report. Bosh had already visited with the Houston Rockets just after midnight on Thursday.

Meanwhile, according to a report by ESPN, Hawks forward Joe Johnson is likely to return to the club after being offered a six-year contract worth $119 million. The report also said Johnson is expected to meet with the Knicks and Heat, although neither can offer as much money as Atlanta.

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.
