Tennis Betting Lines
03/01/2007 -
Doha, Qatar (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded Belgian Justine Henin highlighted
Thursday's quarterfinal winners, while her fellow former world No. 1 Martina
Hingis went by way of the upset at the $1.34 million Qatar Open.
Henin, fresh off her title in Dubai, fought back to beat fifth-seeded Swiss
Patty Schnyder 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 at Khalifa International Tennis Complex.
Henin saved a match point before advancing on Day 4.
The hot French Open champion Henin defeated France's Amelie Mauresmo in
last week's finale at the Dubai Women's Open and is currently riding a six-
match winning streak.
The U.S. Open and Wimbledon runner-up Henin's semifinal opponent on Friday
will be fourth-seeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic, who's off to a fast 16-4 start
this season.
A third-seeded Hingis, meanwhile, blew a big lead against Daniela
Hantuchova, as the sixth-seeded Slovakian claimed an unlikely 1-6, 6-4, 6-4
victory on Day 4. Hingis was leading the match 6-1, 4-1 when Hantuchova
mounted a furious comeback.
Hingis captured the Doha title in 2001.
In other quarterfinal action, second-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova
drubbed eighth-seeded Italian Francesca Schiavone 6-3, 6-4 and the rising
Jankovic erased Ukrainian Kateryna Bondarenko 6-3, 6-3. The French Open
runner-up Kuznetsova reached the Doha finale in 2004.
Kuznetsova and Hantuchova will do battle in Friday's other semi.
The 2007 Qatar titlist will claim $222,000.

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.
