Marbury and Knicks down Heat; Shaq reaches milestoneBasketball Betting Lines02/27/2007 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephon Marbury scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, leading the New York Knicks over the Miami Heat, 99-93, at Madison Square Garden. Eddy Curry added 28 points and 11 rebounds for New York, which rebounded from Sunday's 101-92 setback in New Jersey to win for the third time in five outings since the All-Star break. Jamal Crawford tallied 20 points for the Knicks, who also won for the sixth straight time at home. Shaquille O'Neal ended with 20 points for Miami, which has dropped three of four. Jason Kapono added 24 points for the Heat, who couldn't follow up Sunday's surprising 86-81 victory over Cleveland with another win. "We need to play better defense," said O'Neal, who went over the 25,000-point mark for his career. "We're getting broken down too much." O'Neal ended the game with 25,015 points, becoming the 14th player in league history to hit the milestone. He also became the seventh player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points and 10,000 rebounds in his career. "When I'm done playing, I can look back at what I did," said O'Neal. "If I could make free throws I would be at 30,000, not 25,000." Miami led 77-71 early in the fourth quarter, but the Knicks went on a 13-4 run to take the lead. Marbury capped the surge with a three-pointer at the 6:54 mark for an 84-81 lead. Later, Miami tied the game at 92-92 on Kapono's three-pointer with 1:46 left. The teams then exchanged possessions, both coming up empty, and Marbury's driving layup with 59 seconds left to give New York the lead for good. On Miami's ensuing possession, Malik Rose made the first of his two key plays when he immediately fouled O'Neal with 43.7 seconds left. O'Neal hit only 1- for-2 from the line to cut the deficit to one, 94-93. Next time down the court, Rose found himself with the ball at the top of the key after Marbury couldn't find a way to the basket. Rose, however, did when Kapono left him unguarded and his dish to Curry went awry only to find a wide open Crawford in the right corner. Crawford hit the trey with 20.7 seconds left, giving New York a four-point lead. Miami didn't find the bucket after that. "I just let the game come," said Marbury of his fourth-quarter performance. "At that point it was needed." New York benefited from a strong showing at the free throw line, hitting 30- of-39 attempts. The Heat went to the line only eight time, connecting five times. Jason Williams ended with 15 points for the Heat, who trailed 24-23 after one quarter and 45-39 at halftime. Miami, though, rallied to tie the game going into the fourth at 70-70. Game Notes New York forward David Lee missed his third straight game with a high right ankle sprain and guard Steve Francis sat out with the flu...Miami's Dwyane Wade continues to miss action with his separated left shoulder...NY improved to 16-13 at home...Miami fell to 11-19 on the road...NY won the season series from the Heat, taking three of the four meetings...Miami entered the season having won seven straight against NY.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009Super 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.
