AZ midfielder De Zeeuw could join Hamburg

Soccer Betting Lines

04/23/2009 - Alkmaar, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - AZ Alkmaar midfielder Demy de Zeeuw claims that he is a summer transfer target for German club Hamburg.

The 26-year-old has been a key figure in his side's march to the Dutch league title this season, having also become a regular in the Netherlands national team over the last two years.

De Zeeuw told Voetbal International: "I almost joined Hamburg last summer and I know that they are still interested. HSV are a big team and signing for them is definitely an interesting option.

"I want to play European football next campaign, but that can also be in the Europa League. There's more to life than the Champions League.

"I recently made the decision not to sign a new contract at AZ, but that doesn't mean that I'm 100 percent sure to be leaving the club this 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.
