Angels try to boost playoff hopes in meeting with A'sBaseball Betting Lines09/24/2011 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With hopes of a division title having evaporated, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim turn their attention to the wild card race as they try to even their three-game series tonight with the Oakland Athletics. The Angels were handed a 3-1 setback by the A's in last night's opener and that defeat gave the Rangers the American League West crown thanks to their victory over the Mariners. Los Angeles' second straight loss also dropped it 3 1/2 games behind Boston for the American League Wild Card. The Red Sox did not play on Friday after their game versus the Yankees was rained out. The Angels had to like their chances of keeping their division title hopes alive last night with Jered Weaver taking the hill, but he fell to 18-8 after giving up three runs -- two earned -- over 8 1/3 innings. "Jered pitched well and gave us a chance to win," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, whose club got a game-tying homer from Torii Hunter in the seventh. Jemile Weeks led off the game with a home run and David DeJesus also went deep for the A's, who have won two straight since losing six of eight. Gio Gonzalez outdueled Weaver by allowing a run on three hits over 7 1/3 innings. "Jemile's lead-off homer set the tone right off the bat," Gonzalez said. "I did my best to keep us in the game. I was extremely focused and wanted to pound the strike zone." Facing a must-win situation, the Angels give the ball to Jerome Williams, who is 3-0 with a 3.22 earned run average in eight games this year, including five starts. Williams has not factored into the decision of his past two outings. Three runs, seven hits and five walks forced him out of Sept. 13 meeting with the Athletics after 4 1/3 innings and the right-hander was then charged with two unearned runs on six hits and three walks over 6 1/3 frames in Toronto on Monday. The 29-year-old is 2-1 with a 3.80 ERA in four career starts against Oakland. Taking the hill for the Athletics is Guillermo Moscoso, who took a tough-luck loss to the Tigers and Justin Verlander on Sunday. He gave up just one hit -- a solo homer -- over six innings of a 3-0 defeat, walking two and striking out eight. The right-hander has given up two runs or fewer in six of his past eight outings, but still fell to 8-9 with a 3.35 ERA on the season. "He threw the ball really well," A's manager Bob Melvin said of his starter's performance. "You know when you go out there against a guy like Verlander, you're going to have to pitch well and you're going to have to keep runs to a minimum. And he did." Moscoso did not factor into the decision of a Sept. 13 start against the Angels, with the 27-year-old getting charged with three runs over 4 2/3 frames. Oakland is 10-7 against the Angels this season.

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!
