Basketball Betting Lines
07/26/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks bolstered their forward position on Monday by signing free agent forward/center Josh Powell.
Per club policy, terms of the contract were not announced.
"I look forward to joining a franchise I'm very familiar with," said Powell. "The Hawks have done some great things over the past few years, and I think it's great to come back home and play here. They've enjoyed success in the East, and while they have room to improve and grow, the nucleus is here to make that next step."
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Powell spent the last two seasons with the Lakers and served as a backup for both championship teams. He contributed 2.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in 63 regular season contests last season in Los Angeles. Powell also saw action in 13 playoff games in 2010, but averaged a mere 0.7 points and 0.5 boards.
Powell, 27, played his high school ball at Riverdale in Georgia before playing collegiately at North Carolina State, but left after his sophomore year. After going undrafted in the 2003 NBA Draft, Powell decided to go play in Europe, then was signed by the Dallas Mavericks in 2005.
Over 261 career games -- 28 starts -- Powell has compiled per game averages of 3.8 points and 3.0 rebounds with the Mavericks, Indiana, Golden State, Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers.

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.
