06/15/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chipper Jones is meeting with Braves brass Tuesday and is reportedly considering retirement upon the conclusion of the 2010 season.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Jones is meeting with Braves manager Bobby Cox along with general manager Frank Wren and will address the media afterward. The paper indicated Jones will likely announce his retirement after 17 seasons with the club.
Jones signed a three-year $42 million contract extension before the 2009 campaign that runs through 2012 an includes an option for 2013. Jones turned 38 in April and saw his production slide in 2009 while injuries continued to mount.
He's currently dealing with a sore ring finger that sidelined him for a majority of Atlanta's recently completed 11-game road trip and has dealt with a multitude of injuries in recent years.
Jones is a six-time All-Star, was the 1999 NL MVP and won a batting title nearly a decade later with a .364 average in 2008. Regarded as one of the greatest switch-hitters in baseball history, Jones hit 20 or more home runs in 14 straight seasons (1995-2008), drove in over 100 runs eight straight years (1996-2003) and hit over .300 10 times.
A potential future Hall of Famer, Jones has a .306 lifetime average with 429 home runs, 1,467 RBI, a .406 on-base percentage and has walked more times than he has struck out (1,383-1,258).
In an era that has witnessed some of the game's biggest stars donning new uniforms as free agent contracts skyrocket, Jones will finish his career with the same club that drafted him first overall in 1990.

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.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
