Soccer Betting Lines

08/16/2008 - Nice, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mahamane Traore scored in the 90th minute to give Nice a 2-1 win over Nancy on Saturday at Municipal du Ray in the second Ligue 1 contest for both teams.

Loic Remy opened the scoring for Nice 34 minutes into the match, but Benjamin Gavanon pulled Nancy level right before the break when he converted from the penalty spot after Marc-Antoine Fortune drew a foul inside the area.

Neither side was able to seize control of the match in the second half as both teams struggled to find scoring chances. The game looked to be headed for a draw, but Remy was able to make his way into the box and slip a pass behind the Nancy defense to Traore, who scored from close range to give his side its first win of the season.

PSG picked up its first three points of the year as Guillaume Hoarau scored in the 53rd minute to give the club a 1-0 win over Bordeaux. Sylvain Armand set up the goal as he found Hoarau in the center of the penalty area, allowing the striker to hit the bottom left corner of the net.

Caen scored three times in the first 30 minutes en route to a 3-1 win over Valenciennes, Modibo Maiga tallied twice for Le Mans as they defeated Lille 3-1, while Claudiu Keseru's second-half goal helped Nantes earn a point against Monaco in 1-1 fashion.

St. Etienne held off Sochaux 2-1 behind first-half goals from Blaise Matuidi and Pascal Feindouno and Toulouse recorded a 2-1 triumph against Le Havre as Andre-Pierre Gignac scored in the 88th minute.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
