Blazers forward Webster done for the season

Basketball Betting Lines

04/09/2009 - Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Portland forward Martell Webster will miss the remainder of the season after re-aggravating a left foot ailment.

Webster had surgery October 9, 2008 to repair a stress fracture, and after being sidelined for two months, returned to action on December 7 against Toronto where he re-aggravated the injury and will now be shut down.

"This was not an easy decision to make knowing how hard Martell has worked to get back on the court this season," said Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard. "The X-rays showed significant progress, but the bone has not completely healed."

The 22-year-old Webster has averaged 8.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in four seasons with Portland.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
