Rasmus hits HR on second chance as Cards beat Giants in 10 inningsBaseball Betting Lines07/01/2009 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pablo Sandoval dropped Colby Rasmus' foul pop up in the 10th frame -- the last of three Giants errors -- then Rasmus slugged a game-winning home run to right-center, as St. Louis edged San Francisco, 2-1, at Busch Stadium. The home run, Rasmus' eighth of the season, made a loser of Bob Howry (0-4) and a winner of Ryan Franklin (2-0), who pitched one flawless frame. Albert Pujols had two hits and was on base four times and Ryan Ludwick drove in the other run for the Cardinals, who had lost six of seven prior to Wednesday's win. Aaron Rowand and Randy Winn each had two hits and Bengie Molina drove in the only Giants run. Starter Matt Cain didn't factor in the decision, but allowed just one run on six hits with three walks and three strikeouts over seven frames. His counterpart, Adam Wainwright, went the first nine frames, surrendering one run on six hits with a staggering 12 strikeouts and three walks. The Cardinals got to Cain in the first then no more after that. Skip Schumaker singled, moved to second on an error, and Ludwick singled him home on a single to right. Chris Duncan lined into a double play to end a further threat. St. Louis wasted a bases-loaded chance in the third and San Francisco finally scratched out the tying run in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Fred Lewis knocked a double to right, but stayed there on Rowand's infield hit -- a bang-bang play that replays showed Rowand was actually retired on. Winn was then walked to load the bases with nobody out, but one out later, Molina skied a deep sacrifice fly to center. Nate Schierholtz struck out to end the frame. The Cardinals also loaded the bases in the home half, as Pujols singled, stole second, Duncan walked and a brain cramp on the part of Giants shortstop Edgar Renteria kept the frame alive. The shortstop went to second instead of first on a slow roller and Yadier Molina beat it out to load the bases. Sergio Romo regrouped and struck out Joe Thurston to end the threat. Game Notes Cain's ERA sits at 2.48...The Giants have still won six of the last eight meetings...Pujols is batting .337 on the season...Wainwright's earned run average is now at 3.32.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingWhy Sports Betting is so much fun?Betting SportsThe 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) Points (or Runs) ScoredAnother 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. Future BetsSports 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. 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 BetsStraight BetInvolves 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 ParlaysA 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 BettingAdventurous 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 TeasersSimilar 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!
