02/19/2012 - George, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oliver Bekker shot a two-under 70 on Sunday to secure a two-stroke victory at the Dimension Data Pro-Am on the South African Tour.

Bekker finished the tournament at 13-under-par 276, two shots ahead of Tyrone Ferreira and Thomas Aiken. Shaun Norris and Merrick Bremner ended in a tie for fourth at nine-under 280.

The tournament used three courses at Fancourt. All players had a round at The Links, Outeniqua and Montagu courses during the first three days, while Montagu was used for Sunday's final round.

Bekker opened the tournament with a 65 at Montagu, then carded a two-under 70 at Outeniqua and a two-under 71 at The Links. His third round could have been devastating, with a double-bogey and a bogey in the first three holes. However, Bekker had a birdie and eagle later in the front nine.

Bekker had two bogeys on the back nine Sunday, but a birdie at the last ensured his win.

SPORTS BETTING

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 .
