The Nation's Top Arena Football Betting Expert is Moving Lines in ...
Ted Sevransky, the nation's top Arena Football handicapper, is moving the line in Las Vegas anywhere from 2-6 point with his weekly AFL picks. Brentwood, Tenn. (PRWEB) April 14, 2007 -- The nation's documented number one Arena Football handicapping expert, Ted Sevransky of Sportsmemo.com (http://www.sportsmemo.com), is creating a commotion in Vegas with the release of his weekly AFL picks. A few select handicappers and professional bettors in the world have the ability to truly affect the line on a game, in any sport. Sevransky's plays, however, fall into that rare category having seen a tremendous amount of movement, anywhere from two to six points, each week since the start of the Arena Football season in March. Sportsmemo.com has even had to adjust their company policy to accommodate the needs of their clients who were not able to place their bets at the number that Sevransky released with his picks as a result of the significant line movements.
Sunday NBA Sports Betting Preview - Seattle at Los Angeles
Ray Allen, who averaged 26.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists, had been bothered by bone spurs in his left ankle and opted for season-ending surgery last Saturday. Seattle is 5-8 since Allen ended his season last month. The SuperSonics, who have lost six of seven and will miss the playoffs for the second straight season, also lost guards Earl Watson and Luke Ridnour to season-ending ankle injuries. Danny Fortson did not travel with the team because of personal reasons. His absence was excused. He is expected to travel with the team to Los Angeles. Mike Wilks had a career-high 20 points and six assists in 41 minutes, one minute short of his career high. He said he has not started a game in five years. Sonics coach Bob Hill said he will not trim Rashard Lewis' playing time in the final meaningless games because Lewis is in a contract year.

Commentary: With gaming laws, you gotta know when to fold 'em
As friends whom I shall not name gathered Saturday night at an undisclosed location, I looked around the table and realized it was surrounded by criminals. The evidence was everywhere. The cards, the poker chips, the bowl of money that served as the bank showed these solid citizens to be lawbreakers. As for me, I plead the Fifth. The state where this game occurred calls it a misdemeanor to play poker for money, punishable by up to a year behind bars. I have searched state statutes for a nickel-ante exception and found none. Moreover, if you profit from the mere hosting of the game, it is commercial gambling and it is a felony. That is, unless you are the state itself. The same state where my friends gather to commit misdemeanors runs its own lottery. It even advertises to persuade people to bet which numbered ping-pong balls will pop out of a bowl for winnings that can run into the millions of dollars.
