Soccer Betting Lines

Sporting managed to put just one shot on goal over the course of 90 minutes and gave away a third goal in stoppage time when Bruno found the upper-right corner of the net with a shot from the top of the penalty area.

 

The loss is the fifth in seven games for Sporting Gijon and drops the club to 19th place.

 

"I am excited for the future and I am excited to remain a part of this club," Kirovski said.

 

Kirovski moved to MLS in 2004 to join the Los Angeles Galaxy, and later played for the Colorado Rapids and the San Jose Earthquakes before returning to L.A.

 

In addition to his long club career, Kirovski played 62 times for the U.S. and scored 11 goals during an 11-year international career.

 

The 19-year-old is one of Europe's hottest properties and has been rumored to be on the radar of several big clubs. He has recorded five goals in 14 Bundesliga games this season and has notched 12 caps for Germany.

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Major League Soccer announced Tuesday that the 2012 All-Star Game will be played at PPL Park, the home of the Philadelphia Union, on July 25 with the opponent yet to be revealed. It is the first time in a decade that the city of Philadelphia won its bid to host an All-Star Game, its most recent league showcase coming in 2002 with the National Basketball Association.

 

"Philadelphia has a deep tradition of playing and supporting soccer, and the huge, enthusiastic fan base of the Philadelphia Union is a great success story for Major League Soccer," Garber said in a statement. "The 2012 AT&T All-Star Game will be a great opportunity to celebrate Philadelphia's soccer fans while giving viewers around the globe a glimpse of their passion."

 

The All-Star Game will be played in a soccer specific stadium for the second- straight year after the 2011 edition was held at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
