NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/19/2010 - Durham, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Duke junior Kyle Singler announced Monday he will return for his senior season with the Blue Devils.

Singler averaged 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists while helping Duke post a 35-5 record and claim the school's fourth NCAA championship.

"I love being here at Duke and am excited about next year," Singler said. "I had two great options in front of me, but I did not want to miss out on all of the great things to come in a senior season."

Singler had 17 games with 20 or more points last season while recording seven double-doubles. He became one of 18 players in school history to score over 700 points in a single season, finishing with 707.

"I am looking forward to coaching Kyle in his senior year and seeing him develop more as a player and as a leader," said Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

A three-time All-ACC selection and the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2008, Singler has averaged 15.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists during his first three seasons.

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 .
