Le Toux's eighth goal helps Union tie Revolution

Soccer Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - Chester, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sebastien Le Toux scored his eighth goal of the season in the first half, but the Philadelphia Union settled for a 1-1 draw on Saturday at PPL Park against the New England Revolution.

Marko Perovic equalized Le Toux's goal in the second half on goal that took an awkward bounce over a diving Union goalkeeper Chris Seitz, as the Revolution earned just their second road result of the season.

Philadelphia (4-8-3) had dropped points at home in Major League Soccer matches just twice, with three wins and a draw in five previous matches.

New England (4-9-4) had lost six straight on the road. The Revs only previous road result was a 2-0 victory in April over D.C. United, which has the worst record in MLS.

Sainey Nyassi had an early chance for New England but shot just wide left from the right side of the area in the 14th minute.

Le Toux, who started Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Manchester United in the MLS All- Star game, put Philadelphia in front less than 10 minutes later with a perfect shot into the upper-right corner.

The Union used a nice series of passes, with Le Toux eventually playing the ball in from left to rookie Danny Mwanga at the top of the area. Mwanga tried to open space and the ball slipped away from him, allowing Le Toux to rush in and unleash an 18-yard shot that left New England goalie Matt Reis no chance.

Perovic fired a free kick just over the bar in the 41st and Le Toux had a free kick tipped over the bar by Reis in first-half injury time as both sides ended the half with good scoring chances.

New England didn't waste another free kick midway through the second half, and Perovic curled a shot from well outside the area past a stunned Seitz. Perovic drove the long shot around the Union's wall and it took a bounce in the box to hop over Seitz at the left post in the 70th.

Perovic nearly put the Revolution in front in the 84th, but missed the upper- left corner from 18 yards.

Philadelphia ended the game with three good scoring chances but Michael Orozco Fiscal was denied by Reis in the 86th, Le Toux had an open shot deflected in the 88th, and Le Toux turned a header wide of the left post in extra time.

The Revolution and Union remain level on points near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, well off the pace of the first-place Columbus Crew.

Philadelphia hosts Columbus on Thursday to start a two-match week. New England hosts D.C. United on Aug. 7 in its next match.

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.
