Hockey Betting Lines

02/17/2012 - Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Brodeur stopped 36 shots in regulation and then two shootout chances as New Jersey topped Anaheim, 3-2, at Prudential Center.

Patrik Elias netted the winner, starting off the third round on a successful wrister, then Brodeur ended the contest with a dramatic sliding save of a Ryan Getzlaf chance.

Adam Henrique and Alexei Ponikarovsky tallied for the Devils, who have won two in a row.

Corey Perry and Sheldon Brookbank scored for the Ducks, who saw a three-game win streak snapped. Jonas Hiller made 25 saves in defeat.

Henrique followed up an Ilya Kovalchuk rebound and flipped it home from the slot just 1:25 into the second period.

It was 2-0 for the hosts when Ponikarovsky slipped a shot through Hiller's pads with 9:04 left, but Perry potted a rebound in close with 3:52 to go.

Anaheim knotted the game with 2:13 left in regulation after Brookbank moved up from the point and ripped home a shot from the circle.

Kovalchuk misfired on a pair of chances to win the game in the final minute- plus of the third period, and the hosts received a bit of good luck in overtime.

Just over a minute in, the Ducks saw a potential game-winner erased. Getzlaf had his stick tied up while gliding towards the right post, and a centering pass from Luca Sbisa redirected off Getzlaf's right skate before crossing the goal line. But a review determined a kicking motion and play continued.

Game Notes

New Jersey has won eight of its last nine home games against Anaheim since December of 1996...Both clubs are back in action on Sunday, as the Devils head to Montreal, while the Ducks continue their road trip at Florida.

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 .
