Louisville. KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Court Vision outfought Turallure to win
Saturday's $2 million Breeders' Cup Mile at Churchill Downs. Three-time
defending winner Goldikova finished third and survived an objection.
Goldikova went off as the 6-5 favorite in the 13-horse field. Last year's
runner-up Gio Ponti was the 5-1 second pick and Court Vision was 64-1.
Get Stormy set the pace while the favorite was a couple lengths back on the
inside. Goldikova had a short lead coming out of the final turn with Court
Vision second and Woodbine Mile winner Turallure third.
The three fought down the stretch, but Goldikova could not hold her short
lead. Court Vision and Turallure hit the wire together with the longest priced
horse in the field getting the nose victory.
Goldikova closed her career with a third in the race she made history. She was
kept in that spot by the stewards after reviewing the race. Gio Ponti was
fourth.
The time for the Mile was 1:37.05.
Court Vision was ridden by Robby Albarado for trainer Dale Romans and owner B.
Wayne Hughes. The win was worth $1.08 million and the six-year-old has won
nine of 31 starts for more than $3.7 million. He was coming off a seventh in
the Woodbine Mile.
Court Vision returned a record $131.60, $48.60 and $21.40. Turallure paid
$10.00 and $7.00, and Goldikova paid $2.40 to show.

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 .
