Roma denied by late Cagliari rally

Soccer Betting Lines

01/06/2010 - Cagliari, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Goals from Diego Lopez and Daniele Conti in the final minutes allowed Cagliari to claim an unlikely 2-2 draw with Roma at the Stadio San Elia on Wednesday.

Roma appeared well on its way to three points as second-half strikes from David Pizarro and Simone Perrotta allowed the club to take a two-goal advantage into the 90th minute.

However, Lopez scored in the 90th minute before Conti added another three minutes into stoppage time, preventing Roma from moving into the top four.

Cagliari outplayed the capital club in the first half and was unlucky not to take a lead into halftime.

Andrea Lazzari had only Roma goalkeeper Julio Sergio to beat midway through the opening half, but he shot wide of the target.

The keeper then made two great saves before halftime to keep his team on level terms as Lazzari was turned away after putting a shot on goal, while Andrea Cossu was also denied the opener by a good save from Julio Sergio.

After a poor first half, Roma started much better after the break, and they went in front as Mirko Vucinic drew a foul inside the penalty area on Cagliari's Alessandro Agostini, allowing Pizarro to convert from the spot.

The lead then grew to 2-0 as Perrotta fired a shot past goalkeeper Federico Marchetti after a pass from Rodrigo Taddei.

As the game entered the 90th minute, Lopez pulled a goal back for the hosts when he got the final touch on a corner kick to direct the ball past Julio Sergio.

And with the final whistle just moments away, a volley from Joaquin Larrivey forced Julio Sergio to parry the effort into the path of Conti, who smashed home the rebound.

Inter Milan got past Chievo, 1-0, with Mario Balotelli scoring the lone goal in the 12th minute, while AC Milan remained eight points back with a comfortable 5-2 win over Genoa.

Juventus is third after they beat Parma, 2-1, Alberto Gilardino scored twice as Fiorentina pounded Siena, 5-1 and Catania slipped by Bologna, 1-0, with Nicolas Spolli scoring nine minutes from time.

Bari doubled up on Udinese, 2-0, Napoli handed Atalanta a 2-0 defeat, Sergio Floccari scored twice as Lazio downed Livorno, 4-1 and Sampdoria finished 1-1 with Palermo.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
