12/17/2006 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Seattle SuperSonics will resume their five-game road trip tonight when they battle the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Seattle has lost three in row to start the trek and suffered a 106-84 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday at Quicken Loans Arena. Chris Wilcox had a team-high 20 points and pulled down seven boards, while Mickael Gelabale added 16 points and eight rebounds in the loss for Seattle, which fell to 4-8 on the road this season.

Meanwhile, the Pistons took over the top spot in the Central Division with Saturday's 90-82 win over the New Jersey Nets at Continental Airlines Arena.
Chauncey Billups notched 27 points and 11 assists, as the Pistons closed out a four- game road trip with a 3-1 mark. Richard Hamilton netted 26 points as the only other player in double figures for the Pistons, who have won 11 of their last 14 games.
Detroit has won three straight, four of five and 11 of the last 15 meetings with the SuperSonics.

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)
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.
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.
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.
