Spring racing at Pimlico shows decline in handle
Horseracing Betting Lines
05/26/2010 -
Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The recently concluded spring race meet at
Pimlico Race Course showed a noticeable drop in wagering from 2009. The
Maryland Jockey Club announced that average wagering figures were down nearly
nine percent during the meet that ended Saturday, May 22.
"We expected the numbers to be down based on the Preakness figures, which
dictate whether the numbers will be up or down for the meet," said Tom
Chuckas, Maryland Jockey Club president and chief operating officer. "The
build up to this year's Preakness did not match 2009 when Rachel Alexandra-
mania took over the industry. But we were still able to generate the sixth
largest handle ever in the 135-year history of the event."
The average daily handle dropped 8.7 percent from $6.854 million to $6.257
million. However, attendance rose almost 10 percent at Pimlico with the
Preakness attracting 95,760 compared to last year's crowd of 77,850.
"We are proud of this year's infield experience and our partnership with Susan
G. Komen for the Cure on Black-Eyed Susan Day which made for an outstanding
weekend," added Chuckas. "Our staff is meeting Friday afternoon to begin
planning for the 2011 Preakness. We will look for ways to build on the
momentum that began here a week and a half ago."
This year's 135th Preakness Stakes had wagering of more than $52.76 million
with the entire race card on May 15 totaling better than $79.million, sixth
among Preakness Day handles.
In 2009 the respective numbers were $59.7 million and $86.6 million.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
