Everton's double proves too much for Twente

Soccer Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Enschede, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Everton scored a goal in each half as Heracles claimed a surprising 3-2 win at Twente on Friday, preventing the home side from joining PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar at the top of the league.

Everton scored the only goal in the first half before a frantic final 20 minutes saw the two teams combine for four goals.

Luuk de Jong scored his first goal of the game in the 73rd minute to level the match, but Darl Douglas restored the lead for Heracles before Everton's second goal arrived three minutes later.

De Jong pulled a goal back for Twente but it came in stoppage time, proving too late for Steve McClaren's side to claim anything from the match.

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 .
