07/05/2009 - Hull, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Arsenal and Portsmouth defender Lauren and Fulham striker Bobby Zamora are the latest players to be linked with moves to Hull City.
The Tigers are struggling to attract players to the KC Stadium this summer with Fraizer Campbell, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Darius Vassell all linked with the club but refusing to actually sign any deals.
Lauren was released by Pompey earlier this week and is currently searching for a new club.
The 32-year-old Cameroon international could be signed as a replacement for current Hull City right back Sam Ricketts, who has been linked with a host of clubs since the end of last season.
Meanwhile, former Brighton, Tottenham and West Ham United striker Zamora could also be heading to Phil Brown's side, according to the News of the World.
Zamora moved to Craven Cottage from West Ham last summer but found the net only twice in 35 appearances for Roy Hodgson's team during the 2008-09 campaign.

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 .
