Howard, Magic visit Milwaukee
Basketball Betting Lines
02/11/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwight Howard and the Magic visit Brew City and the
Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday hoping to bounce back from their second overtime
loss this week.
Orlando, which also fell to the Clippers on Monday in OT, lost to the Hawks in
Central Florida on Friday when Josh Smith scored 23 points and pulled down a
season-high 19 rebounds as Atlanta escaped Amway Center with an 89-87 overtime
win.
Orlando was led by Ryan Anderson, who scored 21 points and pulled down nine
rebounds. Howard added a double-double with 18 points and 18 rebounds but it
wasn't enough as the Magic lost for the second time in three contests.
"It's definitely tough, we had opportunities," said Magic point guard Jameer
Nelson. "We had opportunities, just had to execute a little better."
The Bucks, meanwhile, also needed an extra frame to decide things on Friday
but came away a 113-112 winner in Cleveland. Brandon Jennings had 24 points
and eight assists to lead Milwaukee in that one.
Drew Gooden added 19 points, including six during overtime, as Milwaukee won
its second straight on the heels of a three-game skid.
"The guys battled for it in the fourth and in overtime and made enough big
plays to get it," Bucks head coach Scott Skiles said.
The Magic have won 10 of the last 12 meetings with Milwaukee and Howard, who
is averaging 20.9 points and an NBA-leading 15.4 rebounds this season, missed
Orlando's two defeats over that span due to injury and illness.

MySportsbook.com: New College Football Clock Rules Examined
Coaches and bettors alike are desperate to make sense of the new time-keeping rules on the NCAA gridiron. One of the big stories to come out of the Ohio State-Texas clash last weekend was Texas coach Mack Brown's criticism of the NCAA's new clock rules that are intended to shorten the duration of college football games, therefore affecting college football betting.
"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown told ESPN.com. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."
Sure, it might be sour grapes; the Buckeyes thoroughly trounced the defending national champion Longhorns 24-7. However, Brown isn't alone in giving the changes their due thought. Bettors are also wondering about them, albeit for a completely different reason. Most experts agree that the changes will result in games being shortened by anywhere from 10 to 20 plays. The obvious consequence is lower scores, with more time rolling off the clock during changes of possession. (The Ohio State-Texas game flew well under the total of 52.)
According to research at the online sportsbook MySportsbook.com, more than 18 plays a game disappeared last weekend into thin air. That's a 10-percent reduction. In 2005, a typical game had 168.58 plays. For 2007 already, it's down to 150.26.
As a result, teams combined to gain an average of about 100 fewer yards a game last weekend versus the 2005 openers. Scoring was also down by about 4.5 points (attention Las Vegas sports lines).
Of course, oddsmakers were able to adjust to the changes before the season started. Proof of that came as the over went a balanced 8-9 at My Sportsbook on Saturday.
Other angles to consider:A shorter game should theoretically result in shorter lines. Whereas Team A might have been a 14-point favorite in a 168-play game (last year), if there are 10 percent less snaps in 2007, the line should also be reduced by 10 percent (to 13 or 12.5). Of course, this is an over-simplification of the matter, but something to keep in mind.
Less possessions means a better chance the game will be decided by three or seven points. For example, what might have been a 20-10 final score in 2005 may end at
17-10 in 2007. Granted, a 24-17 game last year might end at 21-17 these days, but the former - a three- or seven-point advantage being preserved as opposed to created - is the most likely scenario.
*UPDATE* - Sept. 25, 2007
New Clock Rules Boon for online bookmakers
By adjusting the time-keeping rules to shorten the duration of college football games, the NCAA hoped to make its product more enjoyable for the fans. While the NCAA's success in this regard is still up for debate, bookmakers couldn't be happier with the results.
"We are seeing a massive jump in college football betting," noted the MySportsbook.com management team. "With all the early Saturday games (12 a.m. ET) ending before the second wave begins (3:30 p.m. ET) - something that didn't always happen before the changes - bettors are now able to re-invest their winnings from the morning session in the afternoon games."
While not all bettors will choose to roll over their winnings, it doesn't take much for an impact to be seen on the bottom line. "Not all of the millions of dollars in morning payouts get re-bet. In fact, it's probably only 10 to 20 percent," noted the sportsbook management team. "Still, the increased football betting lines window will create a ton of growth for us over the course of the season."
