D.C. stuns New York with two late goals

Soccer Betting Lines

04/26/2009 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luciano Emilio and Chris Pontius scored in closing seconds and D.C. United rallied for a 3-2 win over Red Bull New York on Sunday at Giants Stadium.

Juan Pablo Angel and Dane Richards scored six minutes apart earlier in the half as New York erased a first-half goal by United's Rodney Wallace, but D.C. added the two goals in the 90th and 91st minutes.

D.C. United (2-1-3) moved to third in the Eastern Conference. New York (1-4-2) remained one point ahead of winless Columbus at the bottom of the East.

United grabbed the lead in the 21st minute when Bryan Namoff played a long ball out of the back to Santino Quaranta, who settled well on the edge of the box to pick out Wallace.

Wallace just had to tap the ball into the net at the left post for his first of the season.

New York struggled in the first half, but substitute Macoumba Kandji helped get the offense going in the second half. He set up Angel five minutes after half, but Angel's close-range effort was cleared off the line by Namoff.

Angel didn't miss in the 68th, though. The New York striker met a free kick on the far side of the area, outleaped a D.C. defender and picked out the right side of the net for his second goal of the season.

Angel played a part in the second goal in the 74th, forcing D.C. goalie Louis Crayton to make a save that left a rebound for Richards. Richards ran onto the loose ball and tapped in from just a few yards out for his first of the year.

New York was just seconds away from its second win when Emilio and Pontius gave D.C. a spectacular win. Pontius started the first goal with a looping pass over the area that Quaranta played with a perfect one-time pass into the box. Emilio finished with a one-time shot despite having New York's Alfredo Pacheco on his back.

United added the game-winner in the 91st minute when Thabiso Khumalo played the ball down the left side to Emilio, who made a quick touch to play the ball into the middle of the box away from goalie Jon Conway. Pontius ran onto the ball to place it into an empty net for his second goal of the season.

D.C. will try to build on the win May 2 when it hosts FC Dallas. New York hopes to bounce back when it visits Los Angeles on May 2.

Online Sportsbook Football Betting

Why Sports Betting is so much fun?

Betting Sports

The 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)

But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)

Points (or Runs) Scored

Another 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.

The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.

Future Bets

Sports 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.

The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.

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 Bets

Straight Bet

Involves 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 Parlays

A 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 Betting

Adventurous 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 Teasers

Similar 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. But as sports betting continues to grow, sportsbooks will continue to develop new and creative ways to bet. We’ll continue to track these changes to the sports gambling landscape, so check back often and we’ll tell you all about it!
