Tennis Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded American John Isner needed a little more than 2 1/2 hours to beat Luxembourg qualifier Gilles Muller, 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (9-7), in the second round Wednesday at the Atlanta Tennis Championships.

Isner, who is playing his first tournament since Wimbledon where he prevailed in an 11-hour, 5-minute match over Frenchman Nicolas Mahut in the first round, fired 33 more aces on Wednesday. He leads the ATP Tour with 705 aces this season.

After gaining the upperhand in the tiebreak, Isner finished off his opponent when Muller hit a return wide. Next up for Isner will be American Michael Russell, who defeated Germany's Rainer Schuettler, 1-6, 6-2, 7-5.

Mardy Fish, the No. 6 seed, got past fellow American Robby Ginepri, 6-1, 7-5. Fish's quarterfinal opponent will be American Taylor Dent, who upended fourth- seed Horacio Zeballos of Argentina, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0.

Top seed Andy Roddick, who received an opening-round bye, plays his second- round match against Rajeev Ram Thursday. Third seed Lleyton Hewitt battles Slovakia's Lukas Lacko

This is the first year since 2001 that Atlanta has held an ATP World Tour tournament. That year the tournament was held in late April on clay and an 18- year-old Roddick defeated Belgium's Xavier Malisse in the final. Malisse is seeded seventh this week and will play Ukraine's Illya Marchenko on Thursday.

The other second-round match has South African Kevin Anderson playing American Donald Young.

The tournament winner will receive $91,800.

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.
