Camoranesi rescues a point for Juventus

Soccer Betting Lines

11/04/2007 - Turin, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-half substitute Mauro Camoranesi scored with 15 minutes to play to help Juventus earn a 1-1 draw with league- leaders Inter Milan on Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Julio Cruz got Inter on the board in the 41st minute, but Camoranesi provided Juve with a spark when he came off the bench in the 70th minute to help his side take a point away from the match.

Inter remains on top of the table by two points over Fiorentina, while Juve stays four points off the pace in fourth place.

The first half started with a good pace but saw precious few good scoring chances.

Inter produced a few dangerous crosses that tested Juve keeper Gianluigi Buffon, but he was up to the task and made no mistakes.

The home side didn't test Inter keeper Julio Cesar until 24 minutes into the match, when Alessandro Del Piero curled a free kick towards the near post from the left, but Cesar got to the ball and got down to punch it away.

Inter finally found an opening in the Juve defense before halftime when Aparecido Cesar found Cruz cutting towards the net with a short pass. Cruz took the ball off his chest and fired a half volley past the keeper from just inside the area to put the visitors ahead at the break.

The Nerazzuri thought they had extended their lead to 2-0 in the 58th minute when a free kick was stopped by Buffon but Esteban Cambiasso swooped in and knocked home the rebound. However, Cambiasso was ruled offside and the goal was taken away.

Camoranesi came on as a substitute for Juve and he immediately had an impact, setting up a scoring chance for his side. Camoranesi carried the ball through the midfield and dropped it off to the right wing. The ball was then knocked towards the front of goal, took a deflection, and forced Cesar to punch it over the top.

Juve began to start pressing forward, but Inter hit back with a counter attack that almost gave them an insurance goal. Aparecido Cesar got down the left flank and played a cross towards the penalty spot that David Suazo got to with a sliding effort. Suazo's shot did not have a lot on it, and Buffon was able to stop it with his legs.

The missed chance proved costly for Inter as Juventus snatched the equalizer with 15 minutes to play.

Raffaele Palladino swung a cross into the box from the left to Vincenzo Iaquinta, who headed it back to Camoranesi. The midfielder struck the ball first time and it clipped the heel of Inter's Walter Samuel on its way past the keeper.

In other Serie A play on Sunday, Roma blew a two-goal lead in the second half and had to settle for a 2-2 draw at Empoli, Sampdoria handed Cagliari a 3-0 defeat, Palermo and Genoa played an entertaining 3-3 contest at Comunale Luigi Ferraris, while Atalanta got two goals from Antonio Langella to lead his team to a 2-1 win over Catania Calcio. Livorno earned a 0-0 draw with Udinese, Ezequiel Lavezzi scored in the 90th minute to earn a point for Napoli in a 1-1 match with Reggina and Siena got a goal from Daniele Galloppa in the 90th minute to take a point from Parma in 2-2 fashion.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
