Chipper Jones undergoes surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

08/14/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones underwent surgery Saturday morning to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Jones, who spoke at length Friday by disclosing that he intends to return for the 2011 season, had the surgery performed by Braves orthopedic surgeon Dr. Marvin Royster.

The estimated recovery time for Jones is six months. He was hurt in Tuesday's game against Houston while making a spectacular defensive play along the third-base line on a chopper hit by Hunter Pence. Jones' momentum carried him into foul territory where he threw across his body and planted his left leg awkwardly.

The 38-year-old veteran had already hinted at retiring after this season, as reports surfaced back in June that the six-time All-Star spoke with Braves management about when to make an announcement. However, that was before Atlanta showed the staying power to retain its place atop the NL East standings.

Jones, who also tore the same ACL in 1994, finished the campaign batting .265 with 10 homers and 46 runs batted in over 95 games. He has battled numerous injuries throughout his stellar career, which includes a .306 batting average, 436 home runs, 1,491 RBI, a 1999 NL MVP award and a batting title in 2008.

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.
