Genoa tells Real Madrid that Milito not for sale

Soccer Betting Lines

11/20/2008 - Genoa, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Genoa president Enrico Preziosi claims he has rejected an approach from Real Madrid for striker Diego Milito.

The Spanish champions are desperate to boost their striking options after losing Ruud van Nistelrooy for the remainder of the season through injury.

But the Argentina hot-shot, who scored 51 goals during three seasons in La Liga with Real Zaragoza, will not be leaving the Stadio Luigi Ferraris for a return to Spain.

"Real Madrid came for Milito and there was contact with the Spanish club," claimed Preziosi. "But I responded to them and I simply said that Milito was our striker and that he wouldn't be leaving Genoa."

Milito has been in stunning form for the Italian side this season, scoring 10 times in just 11 appearances for the club he joined in the summer.

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.
