Soccer Betting Lines

08/29/2010 - Doetinchem, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A hat trick from Luis Suarez put Ajax well on its way to a 5-0 thumping of De Graafschap at De Vijverberg on Sunday.

Suarez scored twice in the first half and again in the 85th minute, between second-half goals from Urby Emanuelson and Christian Eriksen.

Ajax has now earned 10 points from its opening four games, putting them on top of the Eredivisie table along with PSV Eindhoven.

It took Suarez 14 minutes to open the scoring as he turned home a cross from Gregory van der Wiel, while the lead was doubled before halftime with a well- taken free kick from Suarez that found the upper-right corner of the net from 20 yards.

The hat trick was nearly completed in the 59th minute when another free kick from Suarez crashed off the crossbar, but it didn't take long for Emanuelson to extend the lead to three goals with a free kick of his own that beat goalkeeper Boy Waterman.

Demy de Zeeuw's pass five minutes from time set up the third goal of the game for Suarez and Eriksen capped the scoring in the 89th minute.

Twente cruised to a 4-0 win over Utrecht as Luuk de Jong and Marc Janko scored two goals apiece, Feyenoord rolled to a 4-0 victory against Vitesse, Frantisek Kubik scored nine minutes from time to help Den Haag earn a 2-2 draw with PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar drew for the third time in four games as they finished 1-1 with Excelsior.

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 .
