Soccer Betting Lines

02/14/2012 - Buenos Aires, Argentina (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After winning last season's Argentina Apertura title, Boca Juniors got off on the right foot in the Clausura on Friday with a 2-0 win at home against Olimpo.

Dario Cvitanich scored five minutes before the break for Boca, and Pablo Mouche extended the advantage with a goal in the 66th minute.

The result gets Boca off to a good start after the opening weekend in the league produced more than its fair share of draws.

Lanus was another side that made a positive first impression as the club got two goals from Mariano Pavone in a 4-1 home win over San Lorenzo on Friday in a match that saw the visitors finish the game with nine men.

Two of Saturday's three matches finished level as Belgrano and All Boys ended 0-0 after 90 minutes while Estudiantes and Newell's each claimed a point in a 1-1 contest that saw Maximiliano Urruti score the equalizer for Newell's in the 48th minute.

A goal from San Martin's Gaston Caprari just after the hour mark was enough for a 1-0 win over Independiente, while three games on Sunday also finished level as Racing and Tigre ended without a goal as well as Union's match at Arg. Juniors.

Velez Sarsfield and Godoy Cruz traded goals in the opening 25 minutes of a 1-1 draw, with Atletico Rafaela notching a 3-0 victory over Banfield with two goals from Dario Gandin.

On Monday, Colon and Arsenal tied 0-0.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
