Baggies recall Beattie

Soccer Betting Lines

12/10/2008 - West Bromwich, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - West Bromwich Albion have recalled striker Craig Beattie from his loan spell with Crystal Palace due to the knee injury suffered by Ishmael Miller at the weekend.

Beattie had impressed in scoring five goals in 15 appearances for the Eagles, but now heads back to The Hawthorns to challenge the likes of Luke Moore and Roman Bednar for a starting spot.

Baggies boss Tony Mowbray is hopeful that both Moore and Bednar will make the most of the opportunity presented by Miller's misfortune.

He said: "Ishmael's injury will give Luke Moore and Roman Bednar an opportunity to push themselves forward.

"Lads who feel they should be playing more football will probably now get an opportunity. Let's hope one of them comes to the fore and scores some goals."

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
