Soccer Betting Lines

01/28/2012 - Kerkrade, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - AZ Alkmaar failed to regain the top spot in the Eredivisie on Saturday as the club slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Roda.

PSV Eindhoven moved two points clear of AZ after a 3-1 victory against Vitesse on Friday, but with a chance to take back first place, AZ conceded a pair of first-half goals and failed to score in a league game for the third time this season.

Sanharib Malki put Roda in front after 10 minutes and Mads Junker added a second goal in the 33rd minute, while AZ was never able to get on track in the offensive third.

AZ has now claimed only one point from its last three games and can be joined in second place by Twente if the club secures a home win against Groningen on Sunday.

Bas Dost scored his league-leading 17th goal of the season in a 2-0 Heerenveen win against Utrecht, NAC and De Graafschap played to a 1-1 draw as the two sides traded goals in the opening 12 minutes, and Heracles secured a 3-0 win over last-place Excelsior, which remains on the bottom of the table and seven points from safety.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
