Hockey Betting Lines

"It's a typical game for us where we start out good then mistakes kill us," said Columbus head coach Scott Arniel. "Instead of us making the plays it was them making the plays. We created chances, but they capitalized on theirs and we didn't."

 

Columbus will close December with two of three games on home ice before beginning the new year on a four-game road trip. The Blue Jackets are 6-10-2 on home ice compared to a 3-12-2 mark as the guest.

 

Weber leads the Predators this season in assists (21), points (29) and plus- minus (+14).

 

Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Detroit Red Wing forward Johnny Wilson has died. He was 82. Wilson was a four-time Stanley Cup champion with Detroit in the 1950's. He had 161 goals and 171 assists in 688 NHL games with the Red Wings, Blackhawks, Maple Leafs and Rangers.

 

He is the uncle of current Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson.

 

He was not feeling well enough to practice on either Monday or Tuesday, and following Tuesday's practice the decision was made to place Liles on IR according to TSN.

 

St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Blues activated forward B.J. Crombeen from injured reserve on Tuesday, paving the way for his first action this season. Crombeen totaled seven goals and 14 points with 154 penalty minutes in 80 games a season ago for St. Louis, but has missed all 35 contests after fracturing his left shoulder in the Blues' final preseason game.

 

To make room on the roster, the Blues placed forward Ryan Reaves on IR with a right hip injury.

 

He then scored in the first round of the shootout, while Miikka Kiprusoff held steady in net to secure Calgary's fourth consecutive victory. Kiprusoff made 27 saves in regulation.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

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 .
