Golf Betting Lines

06/11/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Woody Austin jumped 92 places to No. 81 in the latest Official World Golf Ranking following his win Sunday at the Stanford St. Jude Championship.

In Europe, Richard Green's victory at the BA-CA Open moved the Australian back into the world top 50 at No. 37, a jump of 26 places from last week.

Little changed in the top 20.

Tiger Woods, of course, remained the No. 1 player, where he was followed by Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Adam Scott, Ernie Els, Henrik Stenson, Vijay Singh, Geoff Ogilvy, Luke Donald and Retief Goosen to round out the top 10.

Stenson moved up a spot to sixth, dropping Singh to seventh. Goosen slipped into the 10th spot after a week spent on the outside of the top 10, replacing Padraig Harrington, who dipped to 11th.

Harrington was followed by Sergio Garcia, Zach Johnson, Rory Sabbatini, Trevor Immelman, Paul Casey, K.J. Choi, Stewart Cink, Justin Rose and Charles Howell III to finish the top 20.

Johnson moved into the 13th spot this week, dropping Sabbatini to 14th.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
