Horseracing Betting Lines

05/05/2010 - Louisville, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The numbers are in, and they show that attendance and betting figures for this year's Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks were up significantly from 2009.

Despite heavy rain and torando warnings Saturday, 155,804 came to see Super Saver and jockey Calvin Borel win the $2 million Run for the Roses. This figure is an increase from last year when 153,563 came to Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May.

On Kentucky Oaks Friday, a record crowd of 116,046 came to watch Blind Luck edge Evening Jewel in the 1 1/8-mile race for three-year-old fillies. This was an increase of 11 percent over 2009.

"The Churchill Downs team congratulates all those involved with Super Saver on his historic victory in this year's 136th running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands," said Churchill Downs Racetrack President Kevin Flanery. "After setting attendance and wagering records on Oaks Day, we can't say enough about Kentucky Derby fans who didn't let the rain dampen their enthusiasm."

The total two-day attendance of 258,430 is an increase of more than 13,000 from 2009. Kentucky Derby Day attendance has now exceeded 150,000 a total of 10 times.

Wagering on the Kentucky Derby alone totaled $112.7 million, a 7.8 percent increase from the $104.6 million in 2009. Saturday's 13-race card at Churchill Downs was $162.7 million, an increase of 4.3 percent from the $156 million last year.

There was a sizeable increase in wagering on the Kentucky Oaks. Friday's race had $10.6 million pass through the windows, a 55 percent increase over the 2009 total. Wagering on the 12-race Kentucky Oaks Day card was an all-time record $36 million, a 20 percent increase over 2009.

Stanley Cup betting

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.
