Tennis Betting Lines

08/01/2010 - Gstaad, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nicolas Almagro of Spain beat France's Richard Gasquet 7-5, 6-1 to capture the title at the Swiss Open Gstaad.

The second-seeded Almagro fired 17 aces en route to his seventh career title and second in the last three weeks after stunning crowd favorite Robin Soderling in the final at the Swedish Open. He improved to 28-11 on clay this year and is now 7-2 all-time in ATP finals, all of which have come on clay.

Gasquet, the No. 7 seed, was appearing in his third final this year. He was a runner-up to Marcos Baghdatis in Sydney back in January and defeated Fernando Verdasco at Nice just before the start of the French Open to claim his sixth career championship.

He won the Gstaad title in 2006.

Almagro and Gasquet had one previous encounter, with the Spaniard rallying from a set down to take a second-round match in Acapulco in February.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
