Dallas puts road unbeaten run on line at TorontoSoccer Betting Lines07/23/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas has not lost on the road since April and puts its six-match road undefeated streak on the line Saturday at Toronto FC, which is one of three Major League Soccer teams still unbeaten at home. FC Dallas (6-2-7) lost to Red Bull New York in mid-April, but has two wins and four draws in its last six road matches. Dallas won at Houston and Chivas USA, and has scored in every road game this season. Coach Schellas Hyndman's club managed just eight points on the road last year, but already has 10 points away from home. Dallas doesn't have a magic formula, according to Hyndman, but the club does try to take the home side out of their "comfort zone." "We go after teams and take away that home field [advantage], that comfort zone," Hyndman said. "It seems to be working." "We know if we play our game in our system, teams are going to have to adjust to us if we stick to what we do well," Dallas defender Heath Pearce said. "I think we've implemented that well on the road." Although Toronto (6-5-4) is unbeaten in eight home matches, Dallas has managed to get results in its previous visits to Toronto. Dallas is 1-1-1 at BMO Field in its history. Dallas enters the match after an impressive 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake, which snapped the defending MLS Cup champions' 10-match undefeated streak. Brek Shea and Atiba Harris scored for Dallas. Hyndman will be forced to make a minor change this week, as Bruno Guardo will likely make his second start of the season for the injured Dax McCarty. "He's just a guy that we have a lot of confidence in and he knows the system well," McCarty said of Guarda. "He knows what Schellas wants out of him and he has the trust of everyone." The Los Angeles Galaxy preserved their undefeated home mark with a 2-2 draw on Thursday against the San Jose Earthquakes, and Real Salt Lake is also unbeaten at home. Toronto had its eight-match unbeaten streak snapped last weekend in a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union, as Sebastian Le Toux converted a penalty in injury time. TFC played England's Bolton on Wednesday, falling 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie. Toronto FC debuted its recent signing, Spanish striker Mista, against Bolton and he's set to make his MLS debut against Dallas. Mista, a Designated Player, assisted on Toronto's goal against Bolton. Toronto is third in the Eastern Conference and Dallas is third in the Western Conference, making a result this weekend crucial as both teams enter the start half of their schedules.

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.
