Soccer Betting Lines

04/23/2009 - Aberdeen, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aberdeen captain Scott Severin is unsure whether he will still be at Pittodrie next season.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Burnley recently and has revealed that several other clubs are also interested in securing his services.

He told the Daily Record: "A few clubs have been on the phone to my agent but he's told them we're still in discussions with Aberdeen and they'll be the first club to know my decision.

"I realize a tough decision will have to be made and I won't rush into it. I've a young family to think about and my wee boy starts school next year. I'm 30 now and this will be the biggest decision of my career so I'll take as long as necessary.

"I've spent ten years in the SPL and there are times you feel it's a bit boring and you fancy a new challenge."

NFL Football Betting Online

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.

It is called the "pointspread."

Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.

But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.

A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.

In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.

The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
