Report: Stallworth to plead guilty to DUI manslaughter charge

Football Betting Lines

06/15/2009 - Berea, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth will reportedly plead guilty Tuesday to a DUI manslaughter charge.

Stallworth entered a plea of not guilty on June 4 and was facing a sentence of 4-to-15 years in prison if convicted. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the guilty plea likely means Stallworth will spend some time in jail.

The 28-year-old Stallworth was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol when his Bentley struck and killed a pedestrian in Miami Beach on March 14. He was led away in handcuffs after a brief hearing and was released later on $200,000 bail.

According to the affidavit, Stallworth's blood alcohol level was .126 -- above Florida's legal limit of .08 -- at the time of the accident.

Stallworth, according to reports from the Miami Herald, drove his Bentley around a stopped vehicle to beat a red light and struck 59-year old Mario Reyes, who was walking to a bus stop from work as an overnight crane operator.

Stallworth joined the Browns for the 2008 season as a free agent and caught a career-low 17 passes for 170 yards with a touchdown in just 11 games. He was hampered by a quadriceps injury for much of the season.

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 .
