08/28/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco 49ers announced Saturday nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin has signed his franchise tender.

A number of sources have placed the tender's value at close to $7 million for the eighth-year pro.

Franklin signed hours before the team was set to take the field against Oakland for a preseason tilt. He will likely suit up in the preseason finale versus San Diego in preparation for the season.

The 30-year-old Franklin started all 16 games for the Niners last season and made 36 tackles while recording two sacks, an interception and three passes defensed.

A former fifth-round pick of the Ravens in 2003, the Tennessee product has spent the last three years with the 49ers where he's started 44 of a possible 46 games.

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 .
