Beckham not expected to start for Galaxy

Soccer Betting Lines

07/21/2007 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Beckham is not expected to start for Los Angeles on Saturday night when the Galaxy host English Premiership power Chelsea in a friendly at The Home Depot Center.

The international superstar has been nursing a left ankle injury all week and is listed as a game-time decision. Even though team officials have stated that he will not start, Beckham is hoping to make his debut with L.A. in the match as a substitute.

"We want to get him on the field as quickly as possible but we don't want to put him in any danger," Galaxy coach Frank Gallop said. "There is always a possibility that he won't play because of his injury but we're never going to force him to play. If he's ready to play, he'll play."

Beckham's ankle was swollen Monday, but the injury had improved slightly in the last few days since the it worsened when Beckham flew from England to the United States last week.

Beckham first injured the ankle playing for England in a Euro 2008 qualifying match last month. He aggravated the injury in his final game for Read Madrid.

Los Angeles needs Beckham before it returns to its Major League Soccer schedule on Aug. 5, at Toronto FC. The Galaxy are fifth in the Western Conference - ahead of only Real Salt Lake.

He signed a five-year deal with L.A. worth $32.5 million, which will total nearly $250 million with endorsements.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
