Inter stunned by Catania

Soccer Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Catania, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Catania scored three times in the final 20 minutes of their 3-1 upset win over Inter Milan at the Angelo Massimino on Friday.

Diego Milito scored in the 54th minute for Inter, but had his opener canceled out by a goal from Maxi Lopez. Sulley Muntari then received his second yellow card for handling the ball inside his own penalty area, and Catania's Giuseppe Mascara converted the penalty kick with nine minutes to play before Andres Martinez secured the win with a goal in the 90th minute.

The result leaves Inter just four points clear of second-placed AC Milan, which hosts Chievo on Sunday, while Catania took a major step towards safety with the win as they moved eight points above the drop zone.

Catania started well and had a chance to take the lead in the 12th minute when Adrian Ricchiuti was stopped eight yards from goal by Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar.

Inter's only real scoring opportunity arrived in the 34th minute when a shot from Wesley Sneijder was comfortably saved by Mariano Andujar.

The visitors went ahead nine minutes after halftime when Samuel Eto'o brought down a ball from midfield and played it across the face of goal to Milito, who swept it into the net from six yards.

Catania threatened with a free kick from Mascara four minutes later, but they found themselves on level terms in the 74th minute when a low cross from Pablo Alvarez was finished off first-time by Lopez.

Muntari picked up a second yellow card when a free kick struck his arm inside the area, and Mascara beat Cesar with a delicate chip that sent the keeper the wrong way from the penalty spot.

Martinez secured the points right before stoppage time when he tracked down a ball on the left wing, cut into the area, and slid a shot past the keeper.

Roma sits in third place and they travel to Livorno, while fourth-placed Palermo visits Udinese as they continue their push towards a top-four spot.

Sampdoria travels to Bologna, Genoa hosts Cagliari, Siena invades Juventus, Bari squares off with Lazio, Atalanta visits Parma and Napoli meets up with Fiorentina.

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.
