Rotterdam, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Wimbledon runner-up
Tomas Berdych and former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro reached the
quarterfinals at the $1.6 million ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.
The second-seeded Berdych, fresh off his title in Montpellier, France two
weeks ago, was leading former Australian Open runner-up Marcos Baghdatis 3-0
in the first set on Thursday when the Cypriot retired due to a calf injury.
Berdych will encounter Italian Andreas Seppi in the quarters. Seppi handled
German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-4, 6-2 on Day 4.
The third-seeded del Potro popped nine aces in handling Slovakian qualifier
Karol Beck 6-4, 7-5.
Fifth-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet secured a berth in the quarters with a
6-3, 6-2 victory over Russian Alex Bogomolov Jr. on the indoor hardcourts at
Ahoy Stadium. Gasquet's opponent on Friday will be fellow former top-10 star
Nikolay Davydenko of Russia.
Another quarterfinal on Friday will pit Swiss icon Roger Federer against
Finnish veteran Jarkko Nieminen.
The top-seeded former world No. 1 Federer received a walkover into the round
of eight here on Wednesday night when Russian Mikhail Youzhny pulled out of
their scheduled Thursday second-round match, citing a left foot injury.
Youzhny was the Rotterdam champion in 2007 and runner-up in 2010.
The 16-time major champion Federer was the Rotterdam titlist the last time he
played here back in 2005.

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.
