NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

05/12/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ohio State guard David Lighty suffered a broken bone in his left foot during spring workouts and will have surgery, Ohio State head coach Thad Matta announced Wednesday.

Lighty, whose recovery time is expected to be 12 weeks, broke the fifth metatarsal on Tuesday, the same injury he suffered in December 2008 that forced him to miss the remaining of the season.

The Cleveland, Ohio native averaged 12.6 points per game during his junior season in 2009-10, helping the Buckeyes win the Big Ten title and advance to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

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.
