Heat send Beasley to Minnesota for picks

Basketball Betting Lines

07/12/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat made it official on Monday by shipping the No. 2 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Michael Beasley, to the Minnesota Timberwolves for a pair of second round draft picks.

The Timberwolves will receive a second rounder in 2011 and 2014. The Sun- Sentinel originally reported the move late Thursday, hours after superstar LeBron James made his decision to join fellow free agents Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in signing contracts with the Heat.

The trade was necessary to clear up cap space in order to sign the three superstars, which officially happened on Friday.

Miami now has only five players under contract for the 2010-11 season including "the big three" and guard Mario Chalmers. Earlier on Monday, the club re-signed unrestricted free agent Udonis Haslem, who according to the Miami Herald inked a five-year deal worth roughly $4 million per year.

Beasley, who last offseason spent time in the NBA's substance abuse program to address concerns over his mental state and drug abuse, was a highly-touted product coming out of Kansas State in 2008.

However, the 6-foot-10, 235-pound forward has put up pedestrian numbers thus far, averaging 14.3 points and 5.9 rebounds over 159 games for Miami.

"We felt Michael had two very good years in Miami," said Heat president Pat Riley. "We feel he will have a very productive career, and wish him nothing but the best as he moves on."

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.
