Herrmann's brace helps Monchengladbach down Leverkusen

Soccer Betting Lines

08/29/2010 - Leverkusen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of goals from Patrick Herrmann propelled Monchengladbach to a 6-3 win over Bayer Leverkusen in a wild affair at BayArena on Sunday.

Herrmann's opening goal in the 20th minute was canceled out four minutes later by Eren Derdiyok, but goals from Roel Brouwers and Herrmann in the final five minutes of the first half gave the visitors a 3-1 lead at the break.

Juan Arango extended the advantage to 4-1 before Arturo Vidal pulled a goal back from the penalty spot. However, Monchengladbach continued to find the back of the net as Mohamadou Idrissou and Marco Reus scored nine minutes apart to make it 6-2, while Stefan Kiessling scored a consolation goal in the 70th minute.

Idrissou set up the first goal when he stole the ball from Vidal and crossed for Herrmann to redirect past goalkeeper Rene Adler.

Derdiyok equalized four minutes later when he headed home a cross from Gonzalo Castro, but a surge at the end of the first half from Monchengladbach put the team up two goals at the break.

Adler was unable to keep hold of a long-range shot from Thorben Marx, allowing Brouwers to pounce on the rebound, while Herrmann fired home his second goal of the game from just inside the top of the box.

A well-placed free kick from Arango found the upper-right corner of the net from 30 yards, while Leverkusen cut its deficit to 4-2 when Vidal drew a foul on Marx inside the penalty area and converted the subsequent spot kick.

However, the visitors put the result out of reach over the next nine minutes with Idrissou putting a rebound past Adler from Arango's shot and Reus beating the keeper from long range with a powerful left-footed effort.

Kiessling made the most of a mistake by Monchengladbach goalkeeper Logan Bailly one minute later to cap the scoring.

In Sunday's other match, Borussia Dortmund scored three times in the first 37 minutes en route to a 3-1 victory at Stuttgart.

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.
