08/28/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lorenzo Cain's RBI single in the 11th inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-7 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second contest of a three-game set.

With Wilfredo Ledezma (0-1) on the mound, Ryan Braun singled to start the frame and moved to second when Prince Fielder reached base on a Neil Walker error. After Casey McGehee flied out, Cain punched a single to left to score Braun for the win.

Fielder clubbed two home runs while Braun added two hits and scored twice for the Brewers, who have taken the first two games of this set. Chris Capuano lasted just three innings in the start as he was touched for six runs on six hits with three walks.

Six Milwaukee relievers combined to pitch the remaining eight innings and gave up just one run on five hits with Kameron Loe (3-3) getting the win.

Milwaukee plated three in the seventh to tie the game. Braun singled to start the frame and, after Brian Burres took the mound, Fielder crushed a pitch deep over the wall in right-center to make it a one-run game.

Chan Ho Park then took the mound and gave up a single to McGehee before Cain reached base on a fielder's choice that saw McGehee forced out at second. Cain then stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch before Jonathan Lucroy hit a sharp grounder to third that Pedro Alvarez misplayed, allowing Cain to score and tie the game at 7-7.

The Pirates got on board in the first on Tabata's one-out, solo homer, his fourth of the year.

Milwaukee answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame. With the bases loaded and one out, McGehee hit into a fielder's choice that saw Rickie Weeks score. Cain followed with an RBI single for a 2-1 lead.

Pittsburgh went back on top in the second, as a bases loaded walk by Alvarez forced home Andrew McCutchen before Tabata hit an RBI single for a 3-2 lead.

The Pirates made it a 6-2 game in the third on Snyder's three-run blast over the left field wall.

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 .
