Former Kentucky, NBA center Turpin found dead

Basketball Betting Lines

07/08/2010 - Lexington, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former University of Kentucky product and NBA center Mel Turpin was found dead of an apparent suicide at the age of 49.

The Herald-Leader reported on Thursday that police responded to a personal injury report at Turpin's home in Lexington to find Turpin alone in the residence. His wife had apparently not been home for several weeks due to treatment of a medical issue.

The paper stated that Fayette County coroner Gary Ginn later confirmed the death as a suicide.

A native of Lexington, Turpin played at Kentucky from 1980-84. He was selected sixth overall by the Washington Bullets in the 1984 draft, but began his career with the Cavaliers following a draft-day trade.

Over five NBA seasons with Cleveland, Utah and Washington, Turpin was a disappointment, averaging only 8.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game over 361 contests.

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.
