Basketball Betting Lines

01/10/2007 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LeBron James scored 34 points, 24 in a second half in which the Cavaliers overcame an early 17-point deficit and defeated the Sacramento Kings, 108-99.

Drew Gooden scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Cleveland, which has won five straight, and eight of nine. Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored 17 points and raked in nine boards for the Cavs, and Damon Jones added 14 points in the win.

Mike Bibby scored 26 points, for the Kings, who dropped their third straight. Brad Miller scored 24 points for Sacramento, and Kevin Martin scored 23 points and pulled down 11 boards.

The Cavs appeared to be headed for defeat after a Martin trey put the Kings up 61-44 with just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter. The Cavs clamped down on defense, though, and James took over on the offensive end to spark an amazing turnaround.

Cleveland scored 10 straight, with a Gooden tip-in slicing the Sacramento lead to seven points at 61-54 with 5:04 left in the third. Ron Artest answered with two baskets, and the Kings looked like they survived the Cleveland push, but the Cavs had more left in the tank. James hit consecutive jumpers late in the quarter to power Cleveland to nine straight points, and the Cavs took a 70-68 lead on a three-point play by Anderson Varejao with 53 seconds left.

Cleveland led 75-70 entering the final quarter, a 37-17 performance in a third quarter that turned a 17-point Cavs deficit into a five-point advantage.

James went off early in the fourth, scoring 11 straight Cleveland points, including three straight treys. He finished off the stretch with a jumper that put Cleveland ahead 88-75 with just over eight minutes left. A dunk by James a minute later pushed the Cavs lead to 92-76, marking an incredible 33-point turnaround from the 61-44 deficit that Cleveland faced early in the second half.

The Kings made it interesting with a 15-4 run to close to within 98-94 late in the fourth quarter, but Gooden answered with a three-point play to put the Cavs up 101-94 with 1:08 left, and Cleveland held on for the win.

Bibby scored 12 points in the first quarter to power the Kings to a 30-22 lead entering the second.

The Kings led 53-38 at the half.

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.
