Jamison staying with Wizards
Basketball Betting Lines
06/30/2008 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Forward Antawn Jamison will be staying in
Washington as the two-time All-Star signed a contract extension on Monday.
Reports earlier on Monday had the deal at four years and $50 million.
"Signing Antawn to a contract extension was a top priority for us this
summer," said Washington president Ernie Grunfeld. "He has been a leader for
us both on and off the court over the last four seasons, and we're proud to
reward his efforts by bringing him back."
In 79 games last season with Washington, the 32-year-old led the Wizards with
an average of 21.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. He was one of only five
players in the NBA last season to average 20 points and 10 rebounds, and
also had a career-high 44 double-doubles.
Over 10 seasons in the NBA, including stints with Golden State and Dallas, he
has appeared in 717 games and has averaged 19.6 points and 7.9 rebounds.
The team now has one more big-name free agent to sign, three-time All-Star
Gilbert Arenas, who said he would not re-sign with the team unless Jamison was
also returning for next season.
A report in the Washington Post on Monday has the team offering Arenas a six-
year contract worth over $100 million.

MySportsbook.com betting odds favor Europe in 2007 Ryder Cup
September 19, 2007 – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current betting odds on the 2007 Ryder Cup favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
