Soccer Betting Lines

02/03/2012 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fulham midfielder Steve Sidwell is set to spend another spell on the sidelines after sustaining a hernia injury in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich.

The 29-year-old already missed time this season after undergoing hernia surgery, and although the former Reading, Chelsea and Aston Villa man completed the full 90 minutes in Wednesday's match, Fulham boss Martin Jol is fearing another extended absence.

"We had an injury to Steve and he will be out for a long time - for four, five or six weeks," Jol told the league's website. "He had a hernia operation as you know and it is almost the same problem.

"He had an operation and now we have to wait, but we fear he needs another operation."

Sidwell has appeared in 14 league games for the Cottagers so far this term and has played in 41 matches in all competitions since joining from Villa in January 2011.

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 .
