There's Nothing Like Game 7

Friday June 12, 2009
When it comes to the world of sports, there's nothing quite like a Game 7 for the championship, which is what will take place inside Joe Louis Arena tonight, as the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Red Wings in Detroit.

If you've never watched a hockey game before, this is the one to watch, as five of the six games have been pretty close, with just one lopsided game so far.

The Red Wings are good-sized favorites, as the mem from Motown have attracted 68-percent of the wagers. As a result the line is now Detroit -185 after opening at Detroit -165. The total has remained at 5.5, but now bettors taking the under are asked to risk $130 to win $100. Bettors taking the over will win $110 for every $100 wagered.

Interleague play returns in baseball and many bettors are a bit hesitant to get involved, as there seems to be more uncertainty in the games.

There are also four WNBA games on the slate, but the lines have been fairly static so far, although that should change this afternoon.

Today's plays are up at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
