Soccer Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Blackpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Blackpool striker Billy Clarke looks set to miss the entire season following knee ligament surgery.

Clarke, 22, injured his knee during the Seasiders' opening preseason friendly against Tiverton Town earlier this month.

Initial estimates put his recovery time at about three months, but manager Ian Holloway has now revealed the injury is worse than was first feared.

Clarke underwent surgery on a ruptured cruciate ligament last week and could now miss the entire new Premier League campaign.

"It might be the whole season now," Holloway told the club's official website.

"He was looking so sharp in training and had done so much in the summer to try and get over the knocks he had last year.

"We're all gutted for him, absolutely gutted for him."

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1.
