Pletcher to have two for the Preakness
Horseracing Betting Lines
05/11/2010 -
Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher
will have two starters, including Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, in
Saturday's $1 million Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course.
The middle jewel of racing's Triple Crown is expected to have a field of 13
three-year-olds.
"He came out of the work (Monday) very well," Pletcher said about Super Saver.
"Everything is on 'go,' so we're planning on getting on the plane in the
morning."
In addition to Super Saver, with Calvin Borel in the saddle, Pletcher will
send out Derby Trial runner-up Aikenite. Javier Castellano has the Preakness
mount on Aikenite.
Pletcher will not start Louisiana Derby champ Mission Impazible in Saturday's
1 3/16-mile race. The colt finished ninth in the Kentucky Derby.
"We were on the fence with him and never had fully committed to going,"
Pletcher said. "We wanted to see how he trained and felt like at the end of
the day that he needed a little more time."
The four-time champion trainer noted that Monmouth Park's Haskell Invitational
in August is on Mission Impazible's 2010 schedule.
Pletcher, who won his first Kentucky Derby this year, is also after his first
Preakness victory.
"We anticipated a full gate and I guess it's close to that," Pletcher said.
"It's an interesting Preakness to me with what looks like eight newcomers who
did not participate in the Derby. We're happy to be coming with the Derby
winner and feel like he's doing very well."
Expected to join Super Saver and Aikenite in the 135th Preakness are Northern
Giant, Caracortado, First Dude, Dublin, Hurricane Ike, Jackson Bend, Lookin At
Lucky, Paddy O'Prado, Pleasant Prince, Schoolyard Dreams and Yawanna Twist.

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 .
