2010 NBA All-Star Weekend Betting Odds - Sprite Slam Dunk Contest - It’s All-Star weekend in the NBA and Kobe Bryantand Allen Iversonwill not take part in festivities. Kobe gets some much needed rest. Congrats to David Lee for the nod. Lastly, I hope Iverson's daughter recovers from her illness.
The happiest people to see Kobe sit out are the Laker fans. No need to risk playing in this game. This will give him a few extra days rest to heal up before Golden Statecomes down to Staples on Tuesday or until Thursday when the Celtics come to town. The fun begins tonight with the celebrity game and the Rookie Challenge.

2010 Winter Olympics: Betting Odds - There used to be a time where nothing was more important for two weeks than the Olympic Games. Families were glued to their TV sets. Today, there are so many sports to choose from on any given day that the Olympics are no longer ‘the only thing on’. Bet on 2010 Winter Olympics Betting Odds.
The Pros have dampened the mystique of‘the Olympic Dream’ in my opinion. With all due respect to all professional athletes, I LIKE watching Joe the barber sacrifice everything to compete in Biathlon. I want to see Mary the teacher luge her way to a gold medal. If I wanted to see Sidney Crosby play hockey, I’d watch the NHL….everyday!
The 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada are a day away and SPORTSBETTING.comhas appropriate lines and odds.
NBA Betting Picks Futures: Championship Contenders NBA Odds NBA Lines - With the NFL season and Super Bowl XLIV now in the books (belated congrats to the New Orleans Saints, by the way), it’s time to start shifting our sports betting focus elsewhere.

The Big favorites right now are the defending champion Los Angeles LakersNBA Betting Lunes 3-1. The Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference at 39-13 and they are very strong once's again — if not stronger — than the team that defeated the Orlando Magicin last year’s NBA Finals. Led by all-word Kobe Bryant and his 28.0 points per game average, the Lakers can score, defend and have unreal depth. Four Lakers average at least 10 points per game – Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest — while four more average at least seven (Lamar Odom, Shannon Brown, Jordan Farmar and Derek Fisher). Check out entire 2009/10 NBA Championship Sports Betting Odds.
The 2nd Best team in the League Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Betting Odds 4-1Anytime the Cavs are mentioned, the conversation usually starts and stops with LeBron James, but this year’s team is actually a fairly well-rounded unit. The Cavs are in the midst of a 10-game winning streak and hold the NBA’s best overall record, at 41-11. While three players do the majority of their scoring (James at 29.8 ppg, Mo Williams at 16.9, Shaquille O’Neal at 11.9), the Cavs are similar to the Lakers in that contributions come from a variety of different guys. Anderson Varejao, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Delonte West, JJ Hickson, Anthony Parker, Daniel Gibson and Jamario Moon all chip in with at least five points a night, and the big-man combo of O’Neal-Varejao-Ilgauskas might be the deepest rotation in the league.
After Cleveland, it’s the Boston Celtics (5.50). The Celts aren’t the dominant, defensive-oriented club that captured the NBA championship in 2008, but they’re still a force to be reckoned with. Their 32-17 record is only the fifth best in the league, but Boston Rajon Rondo, who made his first NBA All-Star game on the strength of his 9.8 assists per game, third best in the league.
