Cliff Lee undergoes foot surgery
Baseball Betting Lines
02/08/2010 -
Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seattle Mariners lefty Cliff Lee underwent
surgery last Friday to remove a bone spur in his left foot.
Lee, who was acquired from Philadelphia in December, is not expected to be
ready for workouts when Mariners pitchers and catchers report to spring
training on Feb. 18. He's expected to resume normal baseball activities in no
more than three weeks.
Lee didn't disappoint in his short time in Philadelphia, going 7-4 in 12
starts down the stretch with a 3.39 ERA, and carrying the National League
champions in the postseason with a 4-0 record and 1.56 ERA in five starts.
The 31-year-old lefty had an incredible 2008 season in Cleveland, where he
went 22-3 with a league-best 2.54 ERA in 31 starts to win the AL Cy Young
Award that year.

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 .
