Baseball Betting Lines

01/20/2012 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Pena is a Ray once again.

The Tampa Bay Times reported Friday that the 33-year-old first baseman has agreed to a one-year contract worth $7.25 million.

Pena played for the Rays from 2007-10 before joining the Chicago Cubs last season. He batted .225 with 28 home runs and 80 runs batted in.

His best season was 2007 with Tampa Bay, as he boasted career-best numbers of 46 homers, 121 RBI and a .282 batting average. In his other three years with the Rays, Pena hit just .224, including a mere .196 in 2010. He was an All- Star in 2009, when he led the American League with 39 home runs.

Pena has clubbed 258 home runs in a career that began with Texas 11 years ago, but is only a .239 lifetime hitter. He has also played for Oakland, Detroit and Boston.

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.
