06/04/2010 - Fort Worth, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Briscoe won Friday's qualifying for the Firestone 500k IZOD IndyCar Series race after beating Dario Franchitti by the slimmest of margins at Texas Motor Speedway.
Briscoe from Team Penske earned his second pole of the season with a four-lap average of 215.273 m.p.h. He was 0.0057 seconds quicker than Franchitti, the reigning Indianapolis 500 champion and last year's series champion.
"I get a point here, but I've got a few more to catch up actually for this championship," said Briscoe, who is currently seventh in IndyCar points. "We really got to take it just one race at a time."
Briscoe, who finished third in the 2009 point standings, claimed his 10th career IndyCar pole.
Last year at Texas, Briscoe dominated the race by leading 160 of 228 laps, but teammate Helio Castroneves beat Briscoe out of the pits during the final round of stops and took the lead for good with 53 laps remaining.
"We had two very fast cars, and [Helio] just got us in the last pit stop, and he was really quick at the end of the race," Briscoe added.
Castroneves, who qualified fifth, has not won since one year ago at Texas. The Brazilian is a three-time race winner here.
Franchitti from Target Chip Ganassi Racing will start on the outside pole.
"I'm actually a little surprised that we ran as quick as we did, because in practice, the qualifying setup wasn't anywhere close to that," Franchitti said. "I was doing my thing in the car, and I didn't know how exactly close we were to Briscoe's time, but I guess it was pretty close in the end."
Will Power, the current points leader and Briscoe's teammate, qualified third, while Ganassi's Scott Dixon took the fourth spot.
Alex Lloyd, Hideki Mutoh, Danica Patrick, Mario Moraes and Marco Andretti completed the top-10.
Tomas Scheckter, who is substituting for the injured Mike Conway in the No.24 Dreyer and Reinbold Racing car, qualified 18th.
Conway sustained back and leg injuries during a hard crash in the closing laps of the Indy 500. He underwent surgery earlier this week to repair fractures to his lower left leg. He also was fitted for a back brace, which he will wear for at least three months.
Ryan Hunter-Reay, who also was involved in the late-race incident at Indy, had surgery on his left thumb and was fitted with a carbon fiber splint this week. He qualified 24th in the 26-car field.
Saturday's 550-kilometer race at Texas is scheduled to start at 8:45 p.m. (et).

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.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
Be sure to log on to MySportsbook.com to check out the complete odds for NFL MVP as well as all of the new football related futures. With the popularity of NFL futures, these betting lines will be sure to change as the money comes in; get the early sports lines now.
