Basketball Betting Lines

02/01/2012 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seeking to bolster its defensive performance, the New Jersey Nets signed 6-foot-5 free agent guard Keith Bogans on Wednesday.

Per team policy, contract terms were not disclosed.

"Keith will give us defensive toughness and experience," said Nets general manager Billy King in a statement. "He will add depth and versatility to our perimeter."

Bogans, who started all 82 regular-season games for the Chicago Bulls last season, is an eight-year NBA veteran who was taken 43rd overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2003 NBA Draft. Bogans also started all 16 postseason games for the Bulls in 2011.

In addition to his defensive presence, Bogans added poise from behind the arc, leading the NBA in postseason three-point shooting with a 42.4 percent conversion rate.

To make room on their roster for Bogans, the Nets waived forward Larry Owens.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
