Round Down Place Green

Golf Betting Lines

Snedeker, who won this year's Scholarship America Showdown and lost in a playoff at the Chattanooga Classic, appeared to be in good shape as he brought a three-stroke lead into round three.

 

Snedeker reclaimed the lost stroke with a birdie at the 10th, but trouble loomed for the 25-year-old positioned 16th on this year's Nationwide Tour money list.

 

Snedeker birdied the 17th hole to extend his lead to two. He parred his final hole and will be in position to secure his PGA Tour card for next year as he will surely finish inside the requisite top 20 on the money list.

 

Andrew Buckle and Craig Bowden both shot rounds of four-under 68 and are tied for fifth place at nine-under-par 207.

 

Matthew Jones (68) and Dan Buchner (73) share ninth place at seven-under-par 209.

 

Chonburi, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nicole Castrale and Heather Young both shot seven-under-par 65 on Friday to share the lead after the first round of the inaugural Honda LPGA Thailand. Meena Lee is alone in third place after a six-under 66, while Hee-Won Han is one shot further back in fourth place after a 67.

 

Among the unique features of this event -- the first LPGA tournament held in Thailand -- is a true island green, where players are ferried by boat to their balls.

 

Forty-three players in a field of 60 shot par or better Friday while negotiating lakes, rivers and considerable elevation change at the challenging par-72 layout.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.

Below is a list of some of the favorites to win the 2007 Men’s NCAA Basketball Championship lines. For the full list of teams and March Madness odds be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com.
