Hockey Betting Lines

12/20/2008 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins have again placed forward Marco Sturm on injured reserve.

Sturm returned from an undisclosed injury earlier this week and scored a goal in Thursday's game against Toronto, but he left that contest with a knee injury and is expected to be sidelined for awhile.

The Bruins put Sturm on long-term injured reserve, meaning he will sit out at least 30 days.

Sturm has seven goals and six assists for 13 points in 19 games this season.

The Bruins recalled center Martin St. Pierre from their AHL affiliate in Providence to fill the roster spot. St. Pierre, who had one goal and three assists in 21 NHL games with Chicago, was the second-leading scorer in the AHL this season with 35 points 30 games.

SPORTS BETTING

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 .
