Golf Odds in 2022: Betting Lines on the 4 Major Championships and Updated Masters Trends
A reader confessed yesterday that she's unfamiliar with the "Chevy Show," a now-defunct syndicated thrill ride that somehow thrilled Midwestern kids of the 1980s with special-effects that look laughably primitive now. The Chevy Show's simple formula involved putting the audience behind the wheels of hot rods, monster trucks, bullet trains, and roller coasters. At the end, a … [Read more...] about Golf Odds in 2022: Betting Lines on the 4 Major Championships and Updated Masters Trends
2020 Tokyo Olympics: Men’s and Women’s Golf Preview and Odds
We're still very early in the Tokyo Olympics. But it's safe to say Team USA hasn't had the strong start that was expected, at least not in several marquee Summer Olympics sports. The United States Men's Basketball Team debuted by losing to France 83-76. Women's Soccer got off to an even worse, even more unexpected start, with the USWNT getting demolished 3-0 by its old … [Read more...] about 2020 Tokyo Olympics: Men’s and Women’s Golf Preview and Odds
A Look At Opening Betting Odds on the Tokyo Olympics
Congratulations, readers. By clicking on our preview of the 2021 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and maybe even looking forward to watching this summer's Olympic Games, you are defying some very, very influential people who spend a lot of time and money telling North Americans what to think. When it comes to the upcoming Olympics, sports-news readers are not allowed to think happy … [Read more...] about A Look At Opening Betting Odds on the Tokyo Olympics
PGA Championship 3-Balls Odds, Match-Up Bets, Props, and Best Weekend Bets
I wish we could cover betting odds at major golf championships farther in advance. As veteran readers (and handicapping bloggers) know, time-advance is gold when you're trying to make sense of the sports odds at betting sites. Not to mention, it helps get more readers turned-on to a hot prediction. We're trying not to be a tree falling at Pine Valley here. Perhaps that's why … [Read more...] about PGA Championship 3-Balls Odds, Match-Up Bets, Props, and Best Weekend Bets
Arnie’s Assassins: Golf Channel’s Open for the Ages Hosed More Than One Links Legend
We've been dabbling in the 2020 Virtual Sports trend here at WagerBop, and the few readers who found an accidentally non-indexed article in late spring are probably confused by the absence of World Virtual Championships stories from June and July. When the 2nd wave of COVID-19 infections struck across the United States, we decided to save the content for August, when sports … [Read more...] about Arnie’s Assassins: Golf Channel’s Open for the Ages Hosed More Than One Links Legend
PGA Golf Futures Odds: Handicapping the 4 Majors in 2020
The greatest golfers are made into cartoons over time. Walter Hagen is said to have been a "sloppy" tee-to-green player who showed up to the 1st hole intoxicated, then putted everyone into the dirt over 4 rounds. (That's just fine for charity tournaments at Pebble Beach, but not exactly how Hagen won a million PGA titles in a row.) Ben Hogan never missed an iron approach by so … [Read more...] about PGA Golf Futures Odds: Handicapping the 4 Majors in 2020
Why I Like Jordan Spieth to Win on Sunday at Royal Portrush
An article should never begin at the beginning. But in golf gambling it’s never a bad idea to start with the basics. Let’s see – golf or “gulf” was invented by sailors several centuries ago on a patch of land now known as The Old Course at St. Andrews. Later, architects devised a 22-hole layout that was shortened to 18... Hmm. Yeah, this does seem a tad mundane and … [Read more...] about Why I Like Jordan Spieth to Win on Sunday at Royal Portrush
2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage: Weekend Betting Strategy
Many sportsbooks are kindly enough to offer “floating” futures odds-to-win major golf championships on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night during the events. But we don’t see a whole lot of comprehensive advice for gamblers who prefer to wait and see a round or 2 before speculating on a potential winner. Oh, sure, there will be plenty of weekend blog posts talking about … [Read more...] about 2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage: Weekend Betting Strategy
