11/12/2008 - Oklahoma City, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwight Howard posted his first career triple-double, scoring 30 points, grabbing 19 rebounds and blocking a career- high 10 shots to lead the Orlando Magic to a 109-92 thumping of the Kevin Durant-less Oklahoma City Thunder.
Durant, who has averaged 22 points in seven games this season, sat out with a sore left ankle.
Howard shot 12-of-21 from the field to lead the Magic, who have won five of six and posted their first road win of the season. Jameer Nelson and Mickael Pietrus each added 17 points, as each starter scored 13 or more in the victory.
Jeff Green posted a season-high 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder, who have dropped seven of their first eight games. Desmond Mason and Earl Watson each had 12 points in the loss, while Russell Westbrook scored 13 despite shooting a woeful 3-of-19 from the floor.
Leading 10-8 early on, the Magic finished the first quarter on a 29-11 run that gave Orlando a commanding lead. Howard scored 14 in the quarter to lead all scorers, and Nelson got the team started with 12 points -- including the first eight for the Magic.
Orlando dominated the second quarter as well, outscoring the Thunder by nine to take a 71-42 advantage into the break.
Down 81-52, the Thunder closed the third quarter on a 19-6 run, led by Joe Smith's six points, helping Oklahoma City close to within 16 going into the fourth.
The teams traded baskets in the fourth quarter, and Howard got his triple- double with a block of Mason's layup with 6:39 left to play. The Thunder never got closer than 14 in the fourth, and Orlando cruised to the victory.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
