Bobcats officially sign Kwame Brown

Basketball Betting Lines

08/24/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats made it official on Tuesday by signing free agent center Kwame Brown, which reunites the former No. 1 pick and new team owner Michael Jordan.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed, per club policy.

"Kwame is a defensive-minded veteran who will add depth to our frontcourt rotation," said Bobcats General Manager Rod Higgins. "At age 28, he has the size, strength and experience to be a solid contributor for this team."

The Charlotte Observer previously reported the deal is for one year and worth $1.3 million. Jordan, then part owner and president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards, made Brown the No. 1 pick in 2001 as the first high school player ever taken with the first selection.

Brown's career quickly spiraled into disappointment with the 10th-year pro never topping a 10.9-point and 7.4-rebound output in 2003-04. He went on to play for the Lakers and Grizzlies after four mediocre years in Washington and is coming off a two-year stint with the Pistons.

The 6-foot-11 center averaged 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over 48 games last season, almost primarily as a reserve. He started 30 of 58 games for Detroit a year earlier, but managed only 4.2 points and 5.0 boards.

In 510 career games, including 217 starts, Brown has posted 6.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
