Le Toux sinks Toronto with late PK

Soccer Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - Chester, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sebastien Le Toux's penalty kick in the 94th minute helped the Philadelphia Union claim a dramatic 2-1 win over Toronto FC at PPL Park on Saturday.

Toronto equalized nine minutes from time through Chad Barrett to cancel out a 61st-minute goal from Philadelphia's Michael Orozco Fiscal. But the Union's Jack McInerney had his shot blocked by the hand of Toronto's Maksim Usanov in the dying minutes inside the penalty area, giving the Union a penalty kick.

And Le Toux made no mistake from the spot, sending Toronto goalkeeper Stefan Frei the wrong way to secure all three points.

The result snaps TFC's eight-game unbeaten streak, while Philadelphia continues its good run of play at home this season, winning for the third time in five games.

Philadelphia's Stefani Miglioranzi handed Toronto the first real chance of the match in the 15th minute when his poor pass allowed Barrett to get into the penalty area and fire wide of the upper-left corner of the net.

Le Toux danced past two defenders on the left and cut toward the top of the box before driving a low shot wide, but he set up the best chance of the half for either side in first-half stoppage time.

He collected a throw in near the six-yard box and pulled the ball back to Jordan Harvey, but Harvey's lunging effort came back off the post.

The Union put together a good period of pressure early in the second half and they were rewarded just after the hour mark when Le Toux's corner kick was headed inside the upper-right corner of the net by Orozco Fiscal.

The Reds equalized 20 minutes later as a long throw from Dan Gargan made its way close to the six-yard box and was flicked inside the far post by the head of Barrett.

However, the Union was not satisfied with just one point, and after conceding a stoppage-time winner in a 2-1 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes last time out, they provided some late heroics of their own to climb off the bottom of the Eastern Conference table.

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.
