Basketball Betting Lines
04/09/2010 -
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Delfino hit five three-pointers on
his way to 23 points, as the playoff-bound Milwaukee Bucks held on to top the
Philadelphia 76ers, 95-90, at Wachovia Center.
Luke Ridnour shot 8-of-12 and had 18 points for the Bucks, who entered
Friday's game tied with Miami for the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Heat play Detroit on Friday.
Brandon Jennings added 16 points, seven assists and a career-high five steals
in Milwaukee's fourth straight win.
Andre Iguodala shot 9-of-13 and finished with 21 points to pace the Sixers,
who have dropped their last six contests. Philadelphia made only nine of its
20 free throw attempts.
The Bucks led by double-digits with under four minutes left, but the Sixers
rallied and were within 86-82 after Samuel Dalembert threw down an alley-oop
slam with 1:39 left.
After several failed possessions, the Bucks' Ersan Ilyasova drained an open
three for a seemingly insurmountable 89-82 advantage with 58.8 seconds left.
However, the Sixers nearly came back. Dalembert had another alley-oop slam,
and after Jennings missed a layup, Jrue Holiday sank a three in transition to
make it an 89-87 contest with 19.9 seconds left.
Jennings then made two from the line, but Iguodala maneuvered on the left side
to gain space on Ilyasova and drained his third trey, making it a one-point
game with 12.9 on the clock.
Two Luc Mbah a Moute foul shots put the Bucks ahead 93-90, and the Sixers had
their chance to tie, though Holiday missed from behind the arc. Dalembert then
planted his foot just over the baseline as he grabbed the rebound, giving the
ball back to Milwaukee, and Jennings made two more from the line to seal the
victory.
Milwaukee scored the first nine points of the contest and led throughout the
first quarter, thanks in part to its defense. The Bucks held the Sixers to
7-of-21 shooting in the opening frame, and led 24-15 moving to the second.
The Bucks continued to play in front and took a 48-36 lead into the break.
They were still up by double-digits with five minutes left in the third
quarter before the Sixers ran off eight straight points to get within three.
It was a 65-60 contest moving to the fourth, and the Bucks stretched their
lead back out, going up 81-70 on a Delfino three with six minutes to go.

The teams split the four-game season series...Holiday finished with 13 points
on 5-of-14 shooting and had seven turnovers to eight assists...Lou Williams

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.
