Lions president Lewand suspended, fined

Football Betting Lines

07/30/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand has been given a 30-day suspension and $100,000 fine following his drunken-driving arrest last month.

Lewand was arrested June 25 after a charity golf tournament in northern Michigan, with a blood-alcohol content of 0.21. After the arrest, Lewand released a statement saying he was "deeply sorry" and would take full responsibility.

Lewand's suspension will begin August 25, when there is a league meeting in Atlanta. He will not be permitted to represent the Lions at that meeting, and will not be allowed to be at the team's facilities or attend games for the duration of the suspension. Lewand also cannot represent the Lions publicly, save for specific community service activities.

Lewand needs to submit a plan for community service and is already undergoing treatment.

Lewand, who was named team president in December 2008, will be allowed to return to work September 24.

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.
