Barca's Iniesta could return for Real clash

Soccer Betting Lines

11/25/2008 - Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has returned to light training ahead of schedule and could be back in time to feature in the El Classico fixture against Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old Spain international has been sidelined since suffering a torn thigh muscle in a Champions League clash against FC Basel on November 4.

Iniesta was expected to be out of action for up to eight weeks, but has returned to training this week and is close to making his first-team comeback.

Barca face their biter rivals at the Camp Nou on Dec. 14 and the influential midfielder could be included in coach Josep Guardiola's squad for the first meeting of the sides this season.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
