Pistons' Stuckey taken off on stretcher

Basketball Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Detroit Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey was taken from the court at Quicken Loans Arena on a stretcher after possibly suffering a seizure during Friday night's game against the Cavaliers.

The incident unfolded with 2:30 left in the third quarter following a Pistons timeout. The players, along with Stuckey, gathered on the bench, and soon after he could be seen reaching out for a team trainer. The trainer held him seated in place with Stuckey's head resting against the trainer's chest before he was gently lowered to the floor.

After a long delay, he was rushed through an access tunnel to a waiting ambulance, his eyes closed and an oxygen mask covering his mouth. Stuckey will be taken to the nearby Cleveland Clinic for evaluation.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
