Golf Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carl Pettersson climbed 98 places in the world rankings following his victory Sunday at the Canadian Open.

Pettersson, who was one putt from shooting a 59 on Saturday, rallied to beat 54-hole leader Dean Wilson for his first win in two years, moving all the way to 109th in the rankings.

Ahead of him, the top of the rankings showed little change.

Tiger Woods remained No. 1 for the 268th consecutive week and was followed again by Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk and Ernie Els.

Luke Donald took third place in Canada and moved up two places to No. 7, dropping Rory McIlroy and Paul Casey down one spot apiece.

Ian Poulter rounded out the top 10 again and was trailed by U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell, Martin Kaymer, Anthony Kim, Robert Allenby, British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and Retief Goosen, who also held onto their positions from last week.

Edoardo Molinari used another good finish on the European Tour to move up six places to 17th. Justin Rose remained 18th, Padraig Harrington dropped two places to 19th and Zach Johnson rounded out the top 20 again. Sean O'Hair was knocked out of the top 20, dipping two spots to 21st.

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.
