Football Betting Lines

03/06/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The St. Louis Rams announced Saturday they have signed quarterback A.J. Feeley and re-signed safety Craig Dahl.

Feeley, 32, has 10 years of NFL experience while serving primarily as a backup. He has been with four different teams in his career, including Philadelphia in two separate stints (2001-03, 2006-08).

Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur were both on the Eagles' staff while Feeley played there.

"It is always nice when you have an opportunity to obtain a player that you are familiar with," said Spagnuolo. "Pat Shurmur and A.J. have a working relationship from their time together with the Eagles. A.J. has an understanding of our offensive system and will be a valuable addition for our team."

Though Feeley has been with four franchises, he only saw playing time with the Eagles and Dolphins, who made him their starter at the outset of 2004. Over 23 career games, Feeley has completed just under 56 percent of his passes for 4,070 yards with 27 touchdowns and 29 interceptions.

Dahl, 24, played in 14 games for the Rams last season and recorded 71 tackles, two sacks and four passes defensed. He also had 14 special teams tackles.

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 .
