Soccer Betting Lines
11/15/2006 -
Tel Aviv, Israel (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Croatia continued its unbeaten streak in
EURO 2008 Group E qualifying play on Wednesday with a 4-3 victory over hosts
Israel, by way of a hat-trick from Eduardo Da Silva paired with a Darjo Srna
penalty-kick.
The visitors jumped to the top spot of the Group E table with 10 points on
three wins and a draw, despite the hosts going up first on an 8th-minute
Roberto Colautti strike.
The striker jumped on a badly placed back pass to tap-in the opener and put
Israel up 1-0, before the equalizer came in the 35th on a PK connection from
Srna after the Israeli keeper, Dudu Aouate took him out.
With the score all tied up, Da Silva started his own scoring parade four
minutes later to put the visitors up 2-1. He tallied his second of the match
and the third for the Croats after the recess in the 54th minute.
The striker was on fire and didn't stop there. In the 72nd, Da Silva put the
hat-trick in the books before Colautti added a little redemption in the 88th,
but time ran out for an equalizing chance for the home team.
With the 4-3 win, Croatia ended Israel's seven-year unbeaten streak in Tel
Aviv.
In other EURO 2008 play on Wednesday, Russia also came out the victor
with a 2-0 defeat of Macedonia on a pair of first half tallies to bring the
squad to second in Group E play with eight points.
In Group A, Mika Nurmela's tally was all Finland needed in its 1-0
triumph over Armenia, moving to the top of Group A with 11 points in four
matches. Poland visited Belgium to meet another seven-point Group A team, as
the visitors emerged on top 1-0, skyrocketing to second place in the
standings. Portugal rounded out this group's play with a 3-0 win over
Kazakhstan on a pair of goals from Simao, along with a Christiano Ronaldo
tally at the half-hour mark.
In Group D, Germany ended its winning streak with a 1-1 stalemate against
Cyprus, while Ireland blew-out San Marino 5-0 for its first win in group play,
as San Marino has yet to get that W.

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.
