Bellamy, Tevez tame ChelseaSoccer Betting Lines02/27/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Craig Bellamy and Carlos Tevez scored two goals apiece as Manchester City downed Chelsea, 4-2, at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Frank Lampard put Chelsea ahead in the 42nd minute, but Tevez had his side level at halftime with a goal only three minutes later. Bellamy struck for City six minutes after the restart, and after Chelsea's Juliano Belletti was sent off for a foul on Gareth Barry, Tevez scored his second goal from the penalty spot. Michael Ballack got his marching orders nine minutes from time when he received a second yellow card, while Bellamy added a fourth goal before a late penalty kick from Lampard pulled one back. The loss snaps Chelsea's 37-game home unbeaten streak in all competitions, and it leaves the club only one point clear of second-placed Manchester United. City, meanwhile, moves into fourth place and is three points ahead of fifth- placed Tottenham, which meets Everton on Sunday. The first 40 minutes of the game saw Chelsea control possession, although the only real good scoring chance fell to Didier Drogba, who fired over the net from eight yards. The first goal finally arrived three minutes before the break when Joe Cole slipped a nice pass into the box for Lampard, who fired it first-time off the left post and into the net. City had barely gotten the ball out of its own half of the field in the first half, instead preferring to sit back and defend. However, they grabbed an unlikely equalizer on the stroke of halftime as Tevez collected a ball in midfield and weaved his way into the box past defender John Terry. The Argentine scuffed his shot, but it somehow eluded goalkeeper Henrique Hilario, who was in goal for the injured Petr Cech, and found its way inside the far post. The Chelsea keeper was again to blame for City's second goal as a long run from Bellamy ended with a tight-angled shot that slipped under Hilario and into the net. Belletti then fouled Barry inside the penalty area, earning himself a red card and allowing Tevez to fire home his spot-kick. It got worse minutes later when Ballack came in on Tevez with a horrendous challenge that saw the German receive a second card, reducing Chelsea to nine men. Bellamy took advantage by scoring his second goal of the game in the 87th minute, while Lampard completed his own double with a late penalty kick. Arsenal moved to within four points of Chelsea as they scored twice in stoppage time to down 10-man Stoke City, 3-1, Bolton moved out of the bottom three with a 1-0 triumph over Wolverhampton as Zat Knight provided the lone goal, Portsmouth toppled Burnley, 2-1 and James McFadden converted a penalty kick in first-half stoppage time to give Birmingham a 1-0 win over Wigan.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009Super 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.
