Benitez: Reds must sell to buy

Soccer Betting Lines

04/28/2009 - Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has revealed he will have to fund any summer transfer deals by selling current members of his Anfield squad.

The Reds have been linked with a series of raids to land several leading stars from across Europe - including Valencia's Spain striker David Villa and Aston Villa and England midfielder Gareth Barry.

However, Benitez has admitted that any deals will need to be funded by departures as the Anfield coffers are not currently awash with transfer funds.

That news brings into doubt the futures of fringe squad members Ryan Babel, Andrea Dossena and Philipp Degen.

"More or less I will have an idea of how much we will have to spend," said Benitez. "I think we'd have to sell players to increase the money we'll need, but at the moment we're not talking about names and money.

"We are working on targets and we will try to do things as quickly and cheaply as possible. Every year it is important to sign good players, the right players.

"We know we have better players than before and it will be difficult to find better players than we have now. But we are working very hard during the season, looking for and watching players. We will be ready."

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
