Rebounds Leads Program Down Will

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

Whitney Hand had 19 points and seven rebounds and Sharane Campbell added 12 points and five boards for the Sooners (12-6, 4-3), who had won their previous two.

 

Baylor shot 51.6 percent in the first half on its way to a 43-28 lead after 20 minutes. The Bears held the Sooners to just 33.3 percent shooting in the second half.

 

Drew Viney scored 18 points while Anthony Ireland contributed 15 points and five assists for the Lions (12-9, 5-3), who had won their previous two.

 

However, the Gaels used a 12-0 run a few minutes later to take control of the game as Jorden Page capped the burst with a three-ball.

 

An Ireland three-ball with under eight minutes to play cut Loyola Marymount's deficit to six, 54-48, but Jones followed with a layup and Kenton Walker II did likewise for a 10-point lead with seven minutes left.

 

That was the capper as the Lions were unable to get close than seven, and that was in the final seconds of the game on a Viney layup to cap the scoring.

 

Tuscaloosa, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Shekinna Stricklen led a balanced attack with 14 points, as No. 7 Tennessee cruised to an 86-56 win over Alabama on Thursday. Glory Johnson added 13 points and eight rebounds for the Lady Vols (15-5, 6-1 SEC), who rebounded from Monday's 72-44 drubbing at Notre Dame. Kamiko Williams and Isabelle Harrison both finished with 10 points, while Ariel Massengale handed out 11 assists.

 

Kyra Crosby paced the Crimson Tide (10-11, 0-7), losers of seven straight, with 15 points. They have dropped 38 consecutive games against Tennessee.

 

In all, the Lady Vols shot 45 percent from the floor and assisted on 22 of 32 field goals. The Crimson Tide, who have not defeated Tennessee since 1984, went 1-of-14 from three-point range and committed 22 turnovers.

 

"I'm thrilled with this three-year extension and the commitment it shows to our program," Larranaga said in a statement. "My staff and I are confident we can build the type of program that will be a source of pride for the entire university."

Why Sports Betting is so much fun?

Betting Sports

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)

But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)

Points (or Runs) Scored

Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.

The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.

Future Bets

Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.

Proposition Bets (or Prop Bets)

Proposition bets , also known as prop bets, focus upon the more exotic aspects of a game and are generally reserved for events that are widely televised. Prop bets are extremely popular when it comes to wagering on the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. The Imperial Palace Casino’s sportsbook is well-known for the enormous number of prop bets offered. For example, you can bet on:

Types of Bets

Straight Bet

Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.

Sports Betting Parlays

A parlay is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together. The benefit of the parlay bet is much better odds than placing each individual bet separately since the difficulty of hitting it is much higher.

Standard payoffs on a two-team parlay are 13/5; while a three-teamer pays 6/1; and a four-teamer 10/1.

Parlay cards are also fairly common in sportsbooks and popular with bettors, as they are released early in the week with set odds that do not change in return for a slightly lower payoff.

Round Robin Betting

Adventurous bettors who enjoy betting parlays sometimes put together a series of parlays called a Round Robin . A three-team Round Robin consists of one three-team parlay and three two-team parlays. For example, Joe likes teams A,B,C – with a Round Robin he has a three-teamer with ABC, and two-teamers with AB, AC, and BC.

Betting Teasers

Similar to a parlay, a teaser bet is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers, but is different in that the point spread is adjusted to your advantage on each individual wager. In exchange for the points, you get less of a return on your bet compared to a parlay. For example, a 6-point teaser would move the line on a 7-point favorite from -7 to -1, meaning the team would have to cover 6 less points. Each of the individual wagers must win or the bet is a loss.

These are the main types of sports bets available today. But as sports betting continues to grow, sportsbooks will continue to develop new and creative ways to bet. We’ll continue to track these changes to the sports gambling landscape, so check back often and we’ll tell you all about it!
