Chamakh poised to join Arsenal
Soccer Betting Lines
05/05/2010 -
Bordeaux, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bordeaux's Morocco international striker
Marouane Chamakh has again spoken of his excitement at being poised to join
Arsenal in the summer.
The 26-year-old will leave the reigning French champions to try his luck in
England, with the Gunners expected to win the race for his signature.
Chamakh told L'Equipe: "I am delighted to join the English football
atmosphere, it is something amazing.
"I love Arsenal's game. I know I will have to adapt but I know the short
passing game with (Bordeaux midfielder) Yoann Gourcuff.
"In February, I made my decision. A departure clause (in a potential new
Bordeaux contract) was not logical after refusing Arsenal last summer.
"Arsenal were not alone. There was Liverpool, Tottenham and crazy offers from
Russia, but I was only focused on the Premier League.
"I am leaving for a new challenge. At Bordeaux I was the club's child. In
London, I won't be a kid anymore."

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
