Sports Betting Spread
Sports Betting Spread; The Most Popular Play In Sports Betting
True sports fans have been putting their money where their mouths are for centuries. Gambling on sports events has its historical roots in America all the way back to the Founding Fathers.
I suppose it would not be much of a stretch to assume that the first race bet on in America was the ride of Paul Revere to Boston. I would say that the sports betting spread on his arriving in time to notify the Boston authorities of the instructions given to him to deliver by the Founding Fathers was 3–1 against Revere. There were probably even a few proposition bets, such as time of arrival, chance of interception by enemy, etc.
If you think that was a stretch, then I present to you the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr in New York City as the first sports betting spread wager in the United States. These two political giants had irreconcilable differences. To settle their dispute in such a violent and definitive manner seems, by today’s standards, so barbaric, doesn’t it? But you couldn’t keep the crowds away. This match was the forerunner of our professional boxing matches of today. Oddsmakers were collecting bets all over NYC as Hamilton opened up as a 6–5 favorite. At show-down time, it was even money. Burr blasted his way to victory and the first sports event in the country with a sports betting spread had been completed.
The sports betting spread is set by the master oddsmakers in Las Vegas for wagering in sportsbooks in casino parlors as well as in the gambling web sites in cyberspace, such as LinesMaker Sportsbook. The Internet has promoted the sportsbook entries that have universal appeal to sports betting investors from all over the world. Gambling on the sports betting spread has a history dating back to the founding of our country, and it has always been the wise and prudent sports betting investor who has flourished.
