Golf Betting – Bridgestone Picks
There’s plenty of things going on in the sports betting world nowadays. The UFC 101 odds are posted for the upcoming mixed martial arts event this Saturday, baseball is in full swing, NFL preseason betting is about to get started and the NASCAR Sprint Cup is heading to Watkins Glen.
Tomorrow, the World Golf Championships will take place at Firestone as Tiger Woods looks to continue his hot streak. Woods won rather easily last week at the Buick Open and considering how well Firestone and the PGA Championship set up for him, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him win three weeks straight.
Let’s take a look at some picks for this week:
Tiger Woods
Hard to argue with betting Tiger Woods to win the tournament this week, after all, he’s won six previous times at Firestone. His last win came in 2007 but the man is on fire right now. All fart jokes aside, he’s a solid pick this week – even at the ridiculously low odds of +150.
Lee Westwood
You can probably expect Lee Westwood to put forth a pretty good effort this week. As far as his game is going right now, Westwood has Top 10 finishes in his last three starts so he hasn’t been far off the pace. Considering he tied for second last year, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him get to the top spot in this tournament. The stars seem to be aligned for him.
Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickelson will be a popular betting pick this week but you have to think that he might have some rust on his game. Mickelson hasn’t played since the U.S. Open and he’s probably going to need some time to find his stroke. Stay away from him this week as there are smarter plays available to you.
Hunter Mahan
Hunter Mahan was one of the hottest golfers around for a while until he completely missed the cut at the British Open, which surprised many bettors. He’s taken some time off to clear his head, though, and this will be his first tournament since that time. Look for Mahan to have a much better effort – his price per head has gone way up to +3000, which is good value for a guy who has played exceptionally well this year.
Fantasy Football and NFL Betting: A Match Made in Gambling Heaven
Fantasy football information and NFL football betting intel overlap. Injury information on fantasy websites is used by top NFL handicappers. Super sportsbook Bodog takes a look and the confluence.
Are you into fantasy football? Did you know it can help you with your football bets?
Managing your own fantasy team is a lot like managing your bets each week. The more you stay on top of information, the better informed you will be making a wager.
Injuries can determine lines and what way you lean when picking a winner. When keeping track of fantasy teams, one of the most important things you do is keeping tabs on who is hurt and who is going to tough it out and play.
Other factors like the weather and what stadium the games are in is something you also track when managing a fantasy team. Again, both are huge when making your picks.
Even though fantasy football and sports betting are two very different things, they certainly can help each other out. Both are all about up-to-date information, and there are certainly enough resources out there to keep up on both.
