Soccer Betting Lines

01/17/2009 - Lyon, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The agent of in-demand Lyon striker Karim Benzema has denied rumors linking his client with an imminent move to Italian champions Inter Milan.

The 21-year-old France international has also been linked with Barcelona in recent times, despite having stated that he is more than happy to stay put until at least next summer.

Benzema's representative, Karim Djaziri, told The Times: "I haven't spoken to any club.

"There has been no contact from Inter, Barcelona or Manchester United. You would have to ask (Lyon president) Aulas about the offers he has received.

"Karim has always said that he wants to go to a prestigious club that will allow him to win trophies and as long as that is the case, he could choose England, Italy or Spain."

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 .
