Rockets lose out on Artest but nab Ariza

Basketball Betting Lines

07/02/2009 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Just moments after losing out to the Lakers for the services of forward Ron Artest, the Rockets have reportedly come to an agreement with Trevor Ariza, who was a key part of Los Angeles' championship run this season.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Ariza accepted the Rockets' offer of the mid-level exception, which will probably end up being a yearly salary of just under $6 million.

Ariza, who helped oust the Rockets in seven games in last season's thrilling Western Conference semifinal matchup, averaged 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds for the Lakers last season but increased his scoring average to 11.3 points in 23 contests in the postseason, when LA won the title in five games over Orlando.

The 24-year-old Ariza will most likely serve the same role Artest did in his lone season with Houston and brings career averages of 6.9 points and 3.8 rebounds to the Rockets after spending parts of five seasons with the Knicks, Magic 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.
