Tennis Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Logrono, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Ferrer whipped Stanislas Wawrinka in Sunday's first reverse singles match, sending Spain into the Davis Cup quarterfinals with a first-round victory over Switzerland. The two-time defending champion Spaniards beat the visiting Swiss 4-1.

Ferrer gave the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead by blasting Wawrinka 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 in 2 hours, 34 minutes to send the champs into the quarterfinals against France.

A dead rubber on Sunday saw Nicolas Almagro dust Swiss Marco Chiudinelli 6-1. 6-3 to put the finishing touch on the Spanish win.

Spain grabbed a 2-1 lead here on Saturday when its doubles tandem of Tommy Robredo and Marcel Granollers defeated a Swiss pairing of Wawrinka and Yves Allegro 7-6 (10-8), 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 on the red clay at the Plaza de Toros de la Ribera.

On Friday, Wawrinka gave the Swiss a 1-0 lead with a marathon 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Almagro before Ferrer leveled the tie for Spain with a 6-2, 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 victory over Chiudinelli.

Switzerland played without world No. 1 superstar Roger Federer, while Spain did not have its great star, Rafael Nadal, in the lineup. Federer had previously announced that he would not play this week, while the former No. 1 oft-injured Nadal is nursing a bad knee.

Powerful Spain is captained by former French Open champ Albert Costa, while the Swiss was led by Severin Luthi.

The Spaniards are now 5-1 all-time against the Swiss, in a series that dates back to 1946.

Spain beat the Czech Republic in last year's final and won four Davis Cup titles in the 2000s, including two straight to close out the decade. The Spaniards are now unbeaten in 19 home ties stretching back to 1999.

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.
