Green leads by one at halfway stage in Austria

Golf Betting Lines

06/08/2007 - Vienna, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australian Richard Green posted a six-under 65 Friday to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the BA-CA Golf Open at Fontana Golf Club.

Green completed 36 holes at 11-under-par 131. Martin Erlandsson remained in second place as he shot a three-under 68 to get to minus-10.

Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez (65) is tied for third place at nine-under-par 133 with Swedes Steven Jeppesen (66) and Pelle Edberg (66).

Green got off to a flying start with three birdies over the first four holes. After a pair of pars, he gave a shot back with a bogey on the par-three seventh.

The 36-year-old Green rebounded with birdies on eight and nine to grab a piece of the lead at minus-nine. After pars on the next two holes, he birdied the 12th from eight feet out to move one clear of the field.

Green slipped back into a share of the lead with a bogey at 14. He bounced back with a birdie on 15 and closed with a two-putt birdie on the par-five 18th to end at 11-under.

"I decided to take Robert Karlsson's advice last year and came to Fontana for the first time, played well and fell in love with the place," Green said. "The course fits my game well, just as Robert predicted. I feel very comfortable, its almost like playing at home."

Green is looking to snap a 10-year winless drought as his last title came at the 1997 Dubai Desert Classic.

"I've got to lift that monkey off my back," admitted Green. "I won the Australian Masters in 2004, which was a great achievement, but I would really love to win on the European Tour again. It's been 10 years since Dubai and I will certainly keep trying."

Erlandsson stumbled out of the gate with a bogey on the 10th. He atoned for that mistake with birdies at 12 and 15. He dropped another stroke at 17 to make the turn at minus-seven.

The Swede, who missed seven straight cuts to open the season, caught fire around the turn. He birdied the first, then three straight birdies from the third gave him the lead at 11-under.

Erlandsson, however, tripped to back-to-back bogeys from the sixth to drop back to nine-under. He birdied the ninth, his last, to end one back.

Garry Houston matched the course record with his eight-under 63 Friday. He jumped into a share of sixth place at seven-under-par 135 with David Park, Jarmo Sandelin and Graeme Storm. France's Gregory Havret stands alongside Shaun P. Webster, Richard Finch and Tom Whitehouse in 10th at minus-six.

The cut line fell at even-par 142 with 68 players advancing to the weekend. Among those missing the cut were Darren Clarke and 2006 champion Markus Brier at 143, as well as Costantino Rocca (145) and Colin Montgomerie (147).

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.
