Hoops travel to take on struggling Sounders

Soccer Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas travels to take on Seattle Sounders FC in Major League Soccer action at Qwest Field on Sunday night.

Dallas (5-2-6) has been on an impressive run as of late, winning three straight while losing just once in its last nine league fixtures.

A big part of that run has been because of the strong play of the versatile Heath Pearce, who has played both defense and midfield this season.

"I wouldn't say there's one particular thing," Pearce told mlssoccer.com when asked what has contributed to the strong play of the Hoops. "We've been playing well the entire year. We've had a string of a number of good games this season."

He did eventually elaborate, saying the confidence the team has in each player on the field has been a strength of the club.

"Its a really beneficial thing late in the game when you don't have to worry about guys around you and you're able to focus on getting the result, because you know the guys around you are going to hold their own weight and support you."

As well as Dallas has been playing, Seattle has been struggling. The second- year MLS club has lost three straight while winning just one of its last six.

The latest loss was 3-1 at the Los Angeles galaxy last weekend.

"We got beat by a better team simple as that nothing more," Seattle goalkeeper Kasey Keller told his club's website. "That is what we need to strive to do bring that energy bring that ability. We found a way to keep the score respectable and now we need to figure out the rest. We are not at the level we need to be at and obviously we need to improve drastically."

The Sounders (4-8-3) will have to find a way to do that without the services of attacker Freddie Ljungberg, who is not expected to play with an injury. Also out with injuries are midfielders Brad Evans and Michael Fucito and defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado. Midfielder Osvaldo Alonso is questionable with a quad strain.

FC Dallas will only be without the services of backup goalkeeper Dario Sala because of a calf strain.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.

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.
