Tour Event Acquires Ozaki Down Kappa

Golf Betting Lines

Last year, a late bogey and double-bogey dropped Wie two strokes below the cut line. She was trying to become the first woman since Babe Didrikson Zaharias at the 1945 Tucson Open to make a cut in a PGA Tour event.

 

Fully conforming to the R&A and USGA ‘rules of golf’, the Advertising Flagsticks contributed additional Smurfit Kappa brand visibility in a normally barren corner of a tournament course.

 

Sponsors and promoters are now seeing the benefits of having Golf Flagstick Advertising also on the 18 greens, traditionally areas difficult to achieve Sponsor or Tournament partner brand continuity.

 

Golf Flagstick Advertising launched earlier this year in the USA where considerable interest has been generated. The European launch is now underway with initial events signed up.

The man who tied the Champions Tour record with eight consecutive birdies on Friday finished with a seven-under 65 in round two and completed 36 holes tied for the lead at eight-under-par 136.

 

Six players -- Tom Watson, Don Pooley, Gil Morgan, Jerry Pate, David Edwards and Mike Reid -- shared the clubhouse lead when the horn sounded Friday afternoon and remained in a tie atop the leaderboard.

 

Ozaki later wrapped up his birdie stretch with some memorable shots: an approach shot he landed within 18 inches at the par-five seventh; a 30-foot birdie putt at the par-three eighth; and a 12-footer at the par-four ninth to tie Dana Quigley's mark.

 

Ozaki added another birdie at the par-four 11th, moving to 10-under for a two- stroke lead, but he gave that shot back at the par-three 12th during a rare lapse in concentration when he lipped out an 18-inch par putt.

 

First-round co-leader Fuzzy Zoeller managed an even-par 72 in round two and is part of a group tied for ninth place. Scott Simpson (70), Quigley (68), Dick Mast (67), Jim Thorpe (70) and two-time winner this season Brad Bryant (69) joined Zoeller at minus-seven.

 

Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-round leader Darren Clarke struggled on the back nine Saturday en route to an even-par 71 and a share of the 54-hole lead with Thomas Bjorn, who shot a 66, at the Barclays Scottish Open. The pair is knotted at 11-under-par 202 and is two ahead at Loch Lomond. Benn Barham fired a six-under 65 to vault up 26 spots into a share of third place. Barham joined David Drysdale (69) and Andres Romero (68) at nine-under- par 204.

SPORTS BETTING - Tennis is an underrated and under-utilized bettors' sport.

Ten years ago, at just about this time, I called Alan Boston in Vegas and left him a voicemail that went something like this (abridged version): "Hey Alan, Chad Millman from ESPN The Magazine calling. I want to do a book about wise guys, you in?"

A couple weeks later I got a message back (abridged version): "I don't know, maybe," Boston said. "Call me and we'll talk about it. But not later today. I got $1,000 on Andre Agassi to win the French Open at 40-1, and he's in the finals."

Here's what happened next (abridged version): Agassi won his tourney. Boston won his $40,000. I wrote sportsbook.

In the ten years since, how much has been wagered on the big-time tennis events? Put it this way: The Nevada Gaming Commission doesn't even track the number year by year because it's so small.

"Tennis makes up about one-tenth of one percent of our take," says Lucky's bookmaking boss Jimmy Vaccaro. "The last big golf major we probably had $100,000 worth of bets. In tennis, we might have written two big tickets."

Tennis' lack of popularity amongst the American bettoratti is no surprise, really. For starters, the biggest sports betting holidays -- the Super Bowl, the NCAA tourney -- are must see TV. People, at least the degenerates I know, plan vacations around watching those events in Vegas sports books.

But Wimbledon? Doesn't exactly reel in the whales. "Seriously, it's the nuts as an event," says Boston. "But who even knows when it's on?"

Here's another reason that helps explain why golf gets traction, something I call "The Bubbe Theory." My Bubbe is pushing 95 and has cataracts so bad that, to her, even the most crystalline Chicago day is mostly cloudy. But she still listens to the Cubs games, and she still calls me in a fit if she disagrees with something Rick Telander writes in the Chicago Sun Times. She's a sports fan. If she doesn't know you, you're just filling a niche. And niche players, even historically good ones like Roger and Raf, don't drive betting volume. Only the highest profile names attract square money, which inflates wagering totals like a shot of saline to the lips. Bubbe, and the public, loved Agassi, tennis' last cross-the-rubicon, mainstream draw. She also has a crush on Tiger. She's given me standing orders to put a sawbuck on the big cat whenever I walk through a sports book (or mistakenly tap into one via my Internet machine.) That explains why the Masters is getting $100K in action at some books while the four tennis majors might not get that combined this year.

This isn't a case of tennis being a difficult sport to bet. In fact, in Europe, it's probably the second most popular sport for gambling after soccer. Granted, as the WSJ football betting last week and The Mag's Shaun Assael examined in even greater depth last year, that might be because gamblers across the pond see it as an easy game to fix. But it could also be because, over there it holds the kind of sway the big two do over here.

Street corners in Spain are peppered with public courts and kids doing their best Raffy impressions. In some war torn parts of Eastern Europe poverty-stricken kids view tennis as an escape route, like football or basketball here. A couple years ago The Mag's Lindsay Berra wrote a great piece about Belgrade's Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic. They learned the game as kids while bombs were raining down on their homeland. They practiced in drained swimming pools. Not exactly Nick Bolletierri conditions.

In the United States, casual fans think tennis is played four times a year. But on the tightly packed European continent, national interest in homegrown talent runs deep every weekend. Of the ATP's current top 20 players, only two, tennis betting and James Blake, are American. Fourteen are from Europe, representing six different countries.

No wonder fans from Lisbon to Bhudapest get jacked up for the net game, whether it's Wimbledon or a low-level tourney like the Estoril Open in Portugal (congrats to Spain's Albert Montanes for winning that one, btw). Chances are good that someone representing their flag will not only be playing, but have a shot at winning.

And that's all any bettor can ask for.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
