Brad Miller officially signs with Rockets

Basketball Betting Lines

07/20/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Rockets officially brought center Brad Miller into the fold on Tuesday after signing him to a previously reported three-year, $15 million contract.

Miller, 34, averaged 8.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists last year in 82 games for the Chicago Bulls.

"Obviously, it's been a long time coming," Miller said. "Ever since (head coach) Rick (Adelman) got here, I've been wanting to come down here. He's my favorite coach with his whole system...I'm very excited about it."

Miller was a two-time All-Star under Adelman while in Sacramento. He played five-plus seasons for the Kings before being dealt to the Bulls late in the 2008-09 campaign in a six-player swap.

"We've been looking for somebody to give us strong minutes at the center spot to pair with Yao Ming for some time," said Rockets general manager Daryl Morey. "I think Brad is going to be a fan favorite."

The Purdue product originally signed with the Charlotte Hornets as a free agent in 1998-99 and over 12 NBA seasons holds down career averages of 11.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists while connecting on 48.2 percent of his shots. He's started 592 of his 793 games played and also logged a brief stint with Indiana.

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.
