06/26/2010 - Kansas City, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Juan Pablo Angel scored two of New York's three second-half goals, lifting the Red Bulls to a 3-0 win over the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in MLS.
Salou Ibrahim scored the first goal in the 55th minute and Angel added both of his goals in the final 10 minutes to increase his season total to eight.
New York (8-5-0) won for the third time on the road this year, and stayed even with the Columbus Crew atop the Eastern Conference. Columbus beat D.C. United 2-0 on Saturday.
Kansas City (3-6-3) lost for the second time at home and sits 12 points behind Columbus and New York in the Eastern Conference.
Ibrahim opened the scoring 10 minutes after halftime following a long ball out of the back from goalie Bouna Coundoul. The initial ball was flicked on and it was converted by Ibrahim for his third goal of the season.
Coundoul played a part in the second goal as well, as he found Angel down the right with a long outlet pass. Angel held off Kansas City's Aaron Hohlbein and fired a half-volley off goalie Jimmy Nielsen and into the net in the 82nd.
Angel sealed New York's win in the 90th minute, when he sprung to his feet following a collision with Hohlbein to run onto a loose ball on the right side of the area. Angel then dribbled around Nielsen and slotted into an empty net.
Only Los Angeles Galaxy and U.S. striker Edson Buddle has more goals this year than Angel. Buddle leads MLS with nine goals, although he's missed a chunk of the season with the U.S. national team.
Kansas City plays FC Dallas on July 3, while New York will try to build on the win July 4 at the Colorado Rapids.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.

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 .
