Nadal named top seed for U.S. Open

Tennis Betting Lines

08/23/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rafael Nadal will seek his first U.S. Open title and a career grand slam as the top-seeded player in the tournament, as the men's seedings for tennis' final major of 2010 were announced on Monday.

Nadal, the World No.1 ranked player and eight-time grand slam champ, has already won the French Open and Wimbledon titles this year and was previously the top-seeded player in this event in 2008 but lost to Scot Andy Murray in the semifinals.

The man who won the title that year was Swiss superstar Roger Federer, a five-time U.S. Open champ who garnered the No. 2 seed this year. Federer lost in the finals last year to Juan Martin del Potro, who is unable to defend his crown due to a right wrist injury that required surgery in May.

Serbia's Novak Djokovic, the 2007 U.S. Open runner-up, is seeded fourth, Murray grabbed the four seed and Robin Soderling of Sweden is fifth.

Nikolay Davydenko, Tomas Berdych, Fernando Verdasco, Andy Roddick, and David Ferrer round out the top-10. Roddick's only grand slam victory came here in 2003.

The U.S. Open seeds were determined by the ATP Tour rankings. The singles draws will be announced on Thursday.

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.
