Arenas sentenced to halfway house for felony gun chargeBasketball Betting Lines03/26/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Suspended Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has been sentenced to 30 days in a halfway house and two years probation in connection with a felony gun charge. Arenas, who will not serve jail time, must register as a gun offender, donate $5,000 to victims of violent crimes fund and complete 400 hours of community service. Arenas reached a plea agreement with prosecutors on January 15 following a December incident at the Verizon Center involving teammate Javaris Crittenton. He was charged with carrying a pistol in the District of Columbia without a license. Prosecutors reportedly wanted Arenas to serve three months in prison after initially recommending a maximum sentence of six months in jail. Arenas' attorneys argued for community service. "We believe today's sentencing of Gilbert Arenas can help bring closure to the unfortunate situation that has played out over the last three months. Gilbert has admitted his mistakes and will now pay his debt to our community," the Wizards said in a statement. The problems for Arenas began in December when he and Crittenton reportedly got into an argument after a card game. Crittenton allegedly said he should shoot Arenas in his surgically repaired left knee. On December 21, at Verizon Center, Arenas is said to have placed the guns on a chair next to Crittenton's locker with a note that said "pick one." Arenas has indicated that he brought the guns in as a prank. NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Arenas indefinitely in early January before the plea agreement, then punished him for the rest of the season on January 27. The three-time All-Star was averaging 22.6 points, 7.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 32 games this season after combining to play just 15 games over his previous two years due to injury.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet. Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots. Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4. To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs. |
