Tennis Betting Lines
07/10/2010 -
Newport, RI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Doubles greats Todd Woodbridge, Mark Woodforde,
Gigi Fernandez and Natasha Zvereva headlined this year's class enshrined at
the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday.
The Australians Woodbridge and Woodforde, nicknamed "The Woodies," piled up
a record 61 doubles titles on the ATP, including a whopping 11
major championships, which is second only to fellow Aussies John Newcombe
and Tony Roche's record of 12. Woodbridge and Woodforde also enjoyed stays
inside the Top-20 in singles.
The Woodies were the first tandem to corral five straight Wimbledon titles and
are the only team in the Open Era to win at least one major title in six
straight years.
In Olympic competition, the Woodies captured gold in 1996 and silver in 2000.
The 39-year-old Woodbridge holds the ATP record with 83 doubles titles in the
Open Era and played on Davis Cup championship teams for Australia in 1999 and
2003.
The 44-year-old Woodforde captured 67 doubles titles and held down the No. 1
ranking for doubles for 84 weeks during his career. He played for a Davis Cup
winner in 1999, along with Woodbridge.
The 46-year-old Puerto Rican native Fernandez and Belarusian Zvereva amassed
38 doubles titles together, including 14 Grand Slam wins. From 1992-93, they
tallied six straight major titles at one point.
Beatriz "Gigi" Fernandez, a mother of twins, colleted 68 doubles titles on
tour, including 17 majors, while the 39-year-old Zvereva piled up 18 major
doubles championships. Fernandez captured Olympic doubles gold medals in 1992
and 1996 and was a two-time Fed Cup champion for the United States (1990,
1996).
Zvereva won 20 Grand Slam doubles titles overall, including a pair of mixed
ones, and also reached the Top-10 as a singles star, including a career-high
No. 5 spot in 1989.
Others inducted to the Tennis Hall on Saturday were men's and mixed doubles
specialist Owen Davidson, of Australia, in the Master Player category;
wheelchair tennis pioneer Brad Parks, of the United States, in the Contributor
category; and the late Derek Hardwick, who entered via the Contributor
category as the former chairman of the British Lawn Tennis Association.
The class of 2010 now gives the Tennis Hall of Fame 218 legends,
representing 19 nations.

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.
