Bucks' Bogut out with fractured ankle
Basketball Betting Lines
01/27/2012 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut will miss the next 8-to-12 weeks with a fractured left ankle.
Bucks general manager John Hammond made the announcement on Friday through the club's Twitter account.
"This morning in Milwaukee, Andrew had additional diagnostic tests performed on his left ankle. The results of the testing confirmed a left ankle fracture which will keep Bogut sidelined for a period of 8-to-12 weeks."
Bogut left Wednesday's game with what was originally called a left ankle sprain and did not return. He suffered the injury early on against the Rockets while battling for a rebound.
The Aussie native is averaging 11.3 points per game and 8.3 rebounds in just 12 games so far this year. He missed four games earlier this season due to personal reasons, and missed one other contest due to a concussion.
For his career, the former first-overall pick of the Bucks in 2005, Bogut averages 12.7 points per game to go along with 9.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

SPORTS BETTING
NFL Football Betting OnlineIn 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 .
