09/04/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Texans released 21 players, sent three others to various reserve lists, and officially signed running back Derrick Ward as part of their roster maneuvers on Saturday.
The Texans released quarterback John David Booty, fullback Jack Corcoran, tight end Derek Fine, linebacker Isaiah Greenhouse, center Brett Helms, running back Chris Henry, running back Jeremiah Johnson, tackle Steve Maneri, cornerback Mark Parson, linebacker Will Patterson, tackle Cole Pemberton, safety Nicholas Polk, cornerback Jacques Reeves, defensive tackle DelJuan Robinson, defensive tackle Malcolm Sheppard, tackle Adam Stenavich, wide receiver Derrick Townsel, defensive end Mitch Unrein, center Chris White, wide receiver Bobby Williams and safety Torri Williams.
Notables among that group include Reeves, who appeared in 28 games as a Texan over the last two seasons; Robinson, who played in 27 over that same stretch, and White, who started eight games with the team in 2009.
Placed on season-ending injured reserve on Saturday were kicker Kris Brown (foot) and wide receiver Andre' Davis (hip).
Brown had lost a preseason kicking competition to ex-Cardinal Neil Rackers.
The Texans also placed tight end Anthony Hill (knee) on the Physically-Unable- to-Perform (PUP) list, where he will remain for at least the team's first six games.
The move to obtain Ward, who was a 1,000-yard rusher for the New York Giants in 2008 but was recently released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was made official by the team on Saturday.
The Texans will open their regular season next Sunday, when they welcome the AFC South rival Indianapolis Colts to Reliant Stadium.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
