01/26/2007 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland forward LeBron James and Houston center Yao Ming were the top vote-getters in their respective conferences as the starters were announced Thursday for the 2007 NBA All-Star game, which will be held on Sunday, February 18 in Las Vegas.
James, last year's All-Star game MVP, received 2,516,049 votes to top all players and lead the East. James' total was the second highest in league history, behind only Yao's 2,558,278 votes in 2005.
Yao didn't do to bad himself this year, despite a knee injury that will keep him out of the game. The Rockets center led the West in votes with 2,451,718, good for the fourth most all-time.
While Yao and James leading their conferences in votes is no surprise, the surge Gilbert Arenas made to crack the East's starting lineup was. The Washington guard, who didn't make the squad last year until being added as an injury replacement, made up over 200,000 votes to pass the Nets' Vince Carter for the second guard spot, joining Miami's Dwyane Wade (2,029,591 votes).
Arenas ended with 1,454,166 votes, a mere 3,010 more than Carter. That total marks the fourth-closest race in NBA All-Star history. The closest ever was A.C. Green's 1,226-vote difference over Karl Malone in 1990.
Despite missing a majority of the season so far due to knee surgery, Shaquille O'Neal received 1,622,446 votes and was selected to his 14th straight All-Star game. That ties him with both Jerry West and Malone for the most consecutive selections.
Rounding out the starters for the East will be first-time starter Chris Bosh of Toronto. Bosh netted 1,091,263 votes to beat out Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal.
Over on the Western side, Yao's teammate Tracy McGrady (1,942,796) will start, and appear in his seventh All-Star game. Joining him in the backcourt will be Lakers star Kobe Bryant (2,138,777), who will be making his ninth trip to the All-Star tilt.
A new-comer to the conference, Denver's Allen Iverson fell over 100,000 votes short of reaching the starting lineup. The former 76er had started the last seven mid-season classics and is a two-time MVP.
Kevin Garnett of Minnesota received the most votes of any Western forward with 1,616,575 while Tim Duncan (1,436,584), who has been selected to every All- Star game since entering the league in 1997, finished second and will join Garnett up front as a starter. Those selections will leave Denver's Carmelo Anthony out of the starting lineup.
Phoenix head coach Mike D'Antoni and the rest of the Suns coaching staff will guide the Western team, having already clinched the best winning percentage among West teams through games of February 4th with a record of 34-8. The Eastern Conference coach has yet to be determined.
Last year, Wade's late basket helped the East rally for a 122-120 win. James ended with 29 points and six boards to become the youngest MVP at 21-years-old in the history of the contest.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
