Tennis Betting Lines
02/07/2010 -
Belgrade, Serbia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alisa Kleybanova and Svetlana Kuznetsova
booked Russia's ticket in the Fed Cup semifinals after winning the decisive
doubles rubber on Sunday.
Kleybanova defeated Ana Ivanovic in the second reverse singles rubber to level
the best-of-five tie at 2-2. She then paired with Kuznetsova to post a 6-1,
6-4 victory over Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic, who fended off Kuznetsova 6-3,
4-6, 6-3 earlier Sunday.
The Russians are 3-0 all-time against the Serbs in Fed Cup play, although the
two previous meetings came when Russia was the USSR and Serbia was Yugoslavia.
Russia, which will face the United States in the next series, has won the Fed
Cup four times since 2004.

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.
