Canadian Carpentier wins Busch pole in Montreal

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/04/2007 - Montreal, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Local hero Patrick Carpentier captured the pole for Saturday afternoon's NAPA Auto Parts 200 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada. The No.22 Armando Fitz Dodge circled the 2.710-mile road course in one minute, 42.086 seconds (95.531 m.p.h.).

By comparison, when Formula One qualified at the track in June the winning time by two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso was 1:14.942 and when Champ Cars raced there in 2006 Sebastien Bourdais won the pole with a time of 1:20.005.

The pole victory was the first of Carpentier's Busch Series career in his first start.

"If I would have read in a book about a perfect race at a perfect time and perfect timing with NASCAR, it couldn't be better than this," said Carpentier.

Starting alongside the Canadian will be another fan favorite "Mad" Max Papis who posted a second-best time of 1:42.148 seconds.

Three-time Watkins Glen winner Ron Fellows (1:02.419) and Boris Said (1:02.424) will make up row two.

The top-four drivers could all be called "road-course specialists" and the first Busch Series regular is Marcos Ambrose, starting fifth.

Of course, points leader Carl Edwards, starting 15th, leads the usual NASCAR suspects across the border. He continues to dominate the series holding an 852-point lead after another top-five finish last week at O'Reilly Raceway Park. It was his 13th top-five (including four wins) in 22 starts.

Other Busch Series regulars who crossed the border include last week's winner Jason Leffler, David Ragan, Bobby Hamilton Jr., Stephen Leicht and Ambrose.

The race is scheduled to drop the green flag at 3:30 p.m. (et).

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.
