07/25/2010 - Boyds, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two goals apiece from Marta and Tiffeny Milbrett allowed FC Gold Pride to claim a comfortable 4-1 win over the Washington Freedom at Maryland Soccerplex.
Milbrett opened the scoring 18 minutes into the match, and after Washington equalized through Abby Wambach shortly before halftime, the Bay Area side dominated the second half with two goals from Marta and another from Milbrett.
Gold Pride has now won its last five games and sits 13 points clear at the top of the Women's Professional Soccer standings.
Milbrett was set up with a good ball from Christine Sinclair in the 18th minute, but after her initial shot was saved by Freedom goalkeeper Erin McLeod, Milbrett easily headed home the rebound.
Washington leveled the match three minutes before halftime as Gold Pride goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart was only able to get a hand on Beverly Goebel's cross, leaving Wambach with a simple tap in at the back post.
However, the second half belonged to Gold Pride as a good individual effort from Marta put the visitors in the lead. She first dribbled past a number of defenders before getting to the end line and driving the ball between the legs of McLeod from a tight angle.
Sinclair had a hand in Marta's second goal as she played the Brazilian through on goal and watched her slot her shot past McLeod for her league-leading 13th goal of the season.
Milbrett then capped the scoring in the 89th minute with a neat chip into the upper-right corner of the net.
Amy Rodriguez had a pair of goals in a 4-1 win for the Philadelphia Independence over Sky Blue FC, keeping the Independence in second place, while the Boston Breakers took over third with a 3-1 win against the Chicago Red Stars behind two goals from Kelly Smith.

American Idol Betting Season 6 Strategies
It's that time of year folks. Betting on American Idol Season 9. And we have plenty of American Idol Season 6 strategies appearing below. With the Top 24 finalists revealed, online gambling sites will be offering betting odds on each of them, including MySportsbook.com.
No other “event” has been growing as fast as wagering on American Idol. It has turned into a huge betting event with reasonably high limits and all sorts of profit-making potential for sharp bettors. Last year, MySportsbook.com experienced unprecedented traffic as a result of the American Idol betting craze.
Every week there will be odds to win American Idol, various elimination props and contestant versus contestant match-ups at the MySportsbook.com website.
Whether a fan of America’s top-rated show or watching only because of a wife or girlfriend, here are some of basic strategies to use when betting American Idol.
Odds to Win
There are a few things to consider when looking for the right win bet. First off, remember that this bet is for the long haul. Many people make the mistake of picking the performer who sang the best the previous week. This strategy leads to an underlay situation – betting a price, which is less than what it should be.
All Idol contestants struggle at some point in the competition, so you should always look for value. In last year’s competition alone, two performers who had some of the best performances early in the series were subsequently bet down to low prices - Lisa Tucker and Ace Young. After just a few weeks, Tucker had already been eliminated, while Young quickly became a huge long shot to win America’s largest talent search.
A better strategy is to look for performers who don’t necessarily get the praise from the judges, but show flashes of the talent necessary to go the distance.
Another important thing to remember when betting any contestant to win is the demographic breakdown of the voters, the viewing public and potential future CD purchasers. Unlike sporting events, American Idol is not decided on the field of play – it’s decided by the American public under the guiding influence of the shows producers.
Understand that the great state of Alabama has a mighty edge when it comes to American Idol.
Therefore, to be successful betting on American Idol, put any personal opinions or prejudices aside and think like the majority of the voting public. Remember that the typical voter is young, female and quite often, Southern.
If a contestant cannot appeal to this demographic, no matter how much talent he or she possesses, they’ll struggle for votes. Looks, demeanor and charisma are extremely important. And it’s no coincidence that every Idol winner so far has hailed from a Southern state.
Elimination Props
Every week MySportsbook.com anticipates offering a prop on who’ll be eliminated from the show each Wednesday night. A suggestion to handicap this is to gauge an overall feel for who’s the least popular contestant left in the competition. Generally the least popular performers have recently appeared in the bottom three and will have been the target of repeated criticism from the judges.
Last year, resources included dialidol.com and votefortheworst.com. Dialidol.com measures the volume of each contestant’s voting line. While by no means a perfect science, it does give a good indication of who is generating votes and who isn’t. Meanwhile, votefortheworst.com is a site that attempts to build support for the worst competitor to keep them in the competition for ‘entertainment’ value. The site has a proven track record of keeping performers around who most feel should have been voted off a long time ago.
Contestant vs. Contestant Match-ups
The best strategy for doing well on match-ups is to assess how close either of the contestants is to being eliminated. If neither is expected to be voted off of the show in the coming weeks, the value is almost always on the underdog. If both are expecting an imminent exit in the near future, the favorite in the match-up might offer value.
Watch for American Idol betting odds on each of the contestants shortly and good luck with these American Idol betting strategies.
