09/23/2008 - Beijing, China (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eighth-seeded Russian Anna Chakvetadze and reigning champion Agnes Szavay highlighted Tuesday's first- round winners at the $600,000 China Open.

Chakvetadze got past Czech lucky-loser Iveta Benesova 6-4, 7-5, while an unseeded Szavay zipped past qualifier Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-4, 6-3 on the hardcourts at Beijing Tennis Center. The Hungarian Szavay upset Serbian star Jelena Jankovic in last year's title match here.

Up next for Chakvetadze will be Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova on Thursday, while Szavay will encounter Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues here on Wednesday.

Chinese favorite Jie Zheng was leading sixth-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska 3-0 on Day 2 when their match was suspended because of rain.

In other matches involving Chinese women, all losses for the host nation, Russian qualifier Alla Kudryavtseva clipped wild card Shuai Peng 7-5, 6-4; Japan's Ai Sugiyama leveled wild card Zi Yan 6-3, 6-4; France's Alize Cornet edged out qualifier Shuai Zhang 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (9-7); and Italian Francesca Schiavone topped wild card Na Li 6-1, 7-6 (7-4). Peng was last week's runner- up in Guangzhou. Schiavone is rewarded with a second-round match against last week's Guangzhou titlist, Vera Zvonareva, on Wednesday.

Additional Day-2 wins came for Canadian qualifier Aleksandra Wozniak and Thai veteran Tamarine Tanasugarn.

This week's top seeds are former world No. 1 Serbs Jankovic and French Open champion and Australian Open runner-up Ana Ivanovic. The U.S. Open runner-up Jankovic will open her week against Wozniak here on Wednesday, while Ivanovic will meet Cornet on Thursday.

The 2008 titlist here will collect $95,500.

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.
