Soccer Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Guillermo Barros Schelotto had a goal and an assist Saturday, leading the Columbus Crew to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids at Crew Stadium.

Schelotto converted a penalty kick in the eighth minute for his sixth goal of the year, then set up the Crew's final goal off a free kick in the 80th. Jason Garey and Steven Lenhart scored Columbus' other goals.

Columbus (12-5-4) won for the ninth time in 11 home games, and pushed its lead in the Eastern Conference back to six points. Red Bull New York topped Toronto FC, 4-1, earlier Saturday to temporarily close within three points.

Colorado (7-6-7) got its lone goal from Pablo Mastroeni, as the Rapids slipped to 1-3-7 in their last 10 games.

Columbus got off to a perfect start when Eddie Gaven earned a penalty kick for a foul on Colorado goalie Matt Pickens inside 10 minutes. Schelotto drove the penalty inside the left post to give the Crew a quick lead.

Colorado equalized before half when Mastroeni took a pass from Mehdi Ballouchy and set up a right-footed shot from 14 yards that beat Crew goalie Will Hesmer to the bottom right in stoppage time.

Columbus regained the lead early in the second half when Garey latched onto a poor clearance from Colorado defender Marvell Wynne and hit a first-time shot past Pickens from 18 yards to the right post.

Lenhart capped the scoring 10 minutes from time in pouring rain. Schelotto played a free kick from the right to the far side of the box to Chad Marshall and he headed back across the goal to Lenhart. Lenhart just nodded home from a few yards out for his fifth goal of the season.

Columbus hosts FC Dallas in its next match on Aug. 28, when Colorado hosts the Houston Dynamo.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
