Super Bowl line hovering on 6.5SBRlines.com
showed the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 to 7 since the line opened. The line started at 7 at
TheGreek (SBR rating A+) and
Pinnacle (SBR rating A+),
and was briefly available at 7.5 (-115) for Cardinal Backers at
Bookmaker (SBR rating A+). Players monitoring SBRlines saw the majority of the sportsbooks dance between 6.5 and 7 over the last two weeks. Many Arizona Cardinal bettors are waiting until game day for a chance at a more appealing price on a +7. There are a few sportsbooks offering 7 now for those players looking to lock in on the half point with a slightly higher price tag. Watch live betting odds at

Betting Barack Obama or John McCain? SBRforum writer Elihu Feustel takes a look at finding value betting the 2008 election.
With the last few elections being nail-biters going down to the wire, the 2008 election is getting a lot of betting interest across the world. As of October 5, the democrats have an advantage. The polls show a moderate lead for the Barack Obama in Michigan, and smaller leads in Ohio and Florida. The betting markets favor the democrats more decisively. Matchbook’s offers of -315/+292 and TheGreek’s prices of -360/280 suggest about a 75% chance of a democratic victory. These prices are consistent with what the polls show – electoral-vote.com indicates that Obama has a lead of 329 to 194 electoral votes if the election happened today. Read
