Report: Clippers send Randolph to Memphis for Richardson
Basketball Betting Lines
07/01/2009 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers reportedly cleared
some cap space for 2010, sending forward Zach Randolph to Memphis in exchange
for forward/guard Quentin Richardson.
Several media sources are reporting the exchange. Randolph is set to make $33
million over the next two seasons, while Richardson makes $9 million in
2009-10, the last year of his deal.
Not only does the deal clear significant cap space for Los Angeles, but the
Clippers will also receive an $8 million trade exception because of the salary
differences.
League rules prevent the deal from being completed until next week.
Richardson has now been traded twice in a week and comes back to where his
career began. The 6-foot-6 DePaul product was traded from New York to Memphis
on draft night in exchange for Darko Milicic.
The 29-year-old, who was the Clippers' first-round pick in 2000, averaged 10.2
points in 72 games for the Knicks last season and holds a 11.5 career points
per game average. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the
Clips, averaging a career-high 17.2 points per game in his last season with
the club in 2003-04.
Randolph, who split last season with New York and Los Angeles, will head to
the Grizzlies after putting up over 20 points a game in 50 combined contests
with the two clubs. The 27-year-old has career averages of 16.7 points and
8.3 rebounds in 506 career games with Portland, New York and the Clippers.

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.
Don't believe it? Just take a look at what happens around the Super Bowl.
