Bruins hope to continue surge against LightningHockey Betting Lines03/25/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Bruins have come up with important wins in their last two trips to the ice and the playoff hopefuls will aim for a third straight victory when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight at TD Garden. Boston enters tonight with a hold on the eighth and final playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins are three points ahead of ninth-seeded Atlanta, which was handed a 4-0 loss Tuesday night by a visiting Boston club. The Bruins, who also posted a 2-1 regulation decision over the New York Rangers on Sunday, have won three of their last four games after posting just three victories in their previous eight outings. Boston went into Tuesday's road test with just a one-point lead over the surging Thrashers, who were riding a four-game winning streak. However, Tuukka Rask made 27 saves to post his fourth shutout of the season in the decisive win at Philips Arena. Rask's biggest stop came with about three minutes to go in the second period when he turned away Colby Armstrong on a penalty shot to preserve a 2-0 Boston lead. David Krejci and Milan Lucic each registered a goal and an assist for the Bruins, who swept the four-game season series and have won 10 straight overall against Atlanta. "It was a big win," Rask said. "They got some chances at the beginning. We settled things down and got the (Krejci) goal and didn't look back." Boston is now back home in Beantown, where it has struggled to a 15-14-6 record this season. This evening's tilt marks the first of three straight on home ice for the B's. Tampa Bay, which is eight points behind Boston for a playoff spot, was able to halt a five-game losing streak with Tuesday's overtime win against visiting Carolina. Martin St. Louis scored two goals, including the game-winner 29 seconds into OT, lifting the Bolts to the 3-2 decision at St. Pete Times Forum. In the extra session, St. Louis gathered a pass from Andrej Meszaros and made a nifty move to get around Carolina defenseman Brett Carson before snapping a shot earmarked for the top left corner of the net. "Once I got into full stride I was able to get to the middle of the ice, go toward Stammer (Steven Stamkos)," St. Louis said. "Originally I was trying to probably get him the puck and drive. I saw a hole and I took it." Steve Downie tied the game on the power play, redirecting a Stamkos pass behind Hurricanes goaltender Manny Legace with 6:57 left in regulation. Antero Niittymaki stopped 27 shots for Tampa Bay, which won for just the third time in its last 15 games. Tampa has been simply awful on the road this season so the fact that tonight begins a four-game road trip is hardly good news for the Lightning's fading playoff chances. The Bolts are just 10-20-6 as the guest and have dropped six of their last seven road tests. Boston has taken two of three from the Lightning this season and tonight marks the final meeting between the clubs this year. The Bruins have won five of seven overall in the series and Tampa has dropped three straight and six of its last seven in Boston.

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.
