08/04/2010 - Fort Worth, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The group fronted by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Houston businessman Jim Crane have apparently made the highest initial bid to buy the Texas Rangers, according to the team's website.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Fort Worth put up an auction for the team after the franchise filed for bankruptcy in May.
Pittsburgh lawyer Chuck Greenberg headed a group, which includes Rangers president Nolan Ryan, that reached an agreement on January 23 to purchase the team and the land around the Ballpark in Arlington for $575 million from owner Tom Hicks.
The Rangers filed for bankruptcy in May but the lenders who hold the debt on Hicks Sports Group ultimately objected to the sale with the belief that the team could fetch more money.
The Greenberg group recently increased its offer, although it was rejected by U.S. Bankruptcy judge Michael Lynn, who ordered the auction process to proceed as scheduled.
The Cuban-Crane bid, which is currently being reviewed by the Greenberg-Ryan group, is reportedly $25 million higher than Greenberg's offer.
The winner of the auction still has to be approved by Major League Baseball before officially taking ownership of the team.

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.
