Golf could quite possibly be the hardest sport to wager successfully. Picking a winner is, oftentimes, a frustrating exercise. That said, my dark-horse pick at this week’s Pebble Beach Pro-Am would be Max Homa. I don’t have the bankroll to drop $100 on a golfer, even if the odds are […]
To play or not to play? That’s the question that golf professionals ask themselves about the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. On one hand, the Monterey Peninsula in central California is stunning.

Phil Mickelson told the media earlier this year his game was close, and at last week’s Saudi Invitational he backed it up. The 49-year-old finished tied for third at the tournament held at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in Saudi Arabia. It’s the first cut Mickelson has made in […]
it was another million-dollar win for sportsbooks after Sunday’s Super Bowl 54. Many oddsmakers said they needed the Kansas City Chiefs to cover, and the under to hit for them to record a profit. That is exactly what happened, as Kansas City covered the 1.5-point spread, defeating San Francisco, 31-20. […]
Just because New England quarterback Tom Brady wasn’t in the Super Bowl for the first time in three years didn’t mean he couldn’t make an impact on Sunday’s big game. The 42-year-old, who is scheduled to be a free agent in March, might have added to the rumors about where […]
Wagering is serious business, but that doesn’t mean oddsmakers don’t like to have a little fun, and they prove it with these wacky Super Bowl prop bets. It seems there is no end to the creativity of some of these side wagers. Most of them come from overseas sportsbooks, where […]
The key matchup between Kansas City and San Francisco in Super Bowl 54 is not disputed, but who will prevail definitely is up for debate. The premise is simple; can the 49ers defense stop the Chiefs offense? Bettors are torn on that answer. The line, which opened at 1.5 in […]
The big Super Bowl bets started hitting sportsbooks this week, but while some of the wagers were on the outcome of the games, a lot of the money was on the over/under and prop bets. News of the big Super Bowl bets have been put on social media the last […]
One of the unique Super Bowl wagers offered at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook is “Who Will Have More?†The concept is simple: take a sport that isn’t football, and then make a proposition bet between that and something that will happen in the Super Bowl. For example, “Who Will […]
They tantalize bettors with odds of +500 or +800, but are Super Bowl longshot prop bets worth the money? After all, there is a reason these wagers carry long odds. A perfect example is betting on the exact number of points the 2020 Super Bowl will be decided by. The […]
A Chicago gambler rooted hard for his bet on Viktor Hovland to come in, but the PGA Tour rookie couldn’t deliver at this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open. Supposedly, the Twitter user who goes by @GuiltGaming placed four wagers totaling $10,714.20 on Hovland to earn his first victory at the […]
The offensive prop bets for the 2020 Super Bowl could be the most lucrative wagers in any category this year. Unlike last year, when the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams waged a defensive battle, Kansas City and San Francisco like to score, and do so often. The 49ers […]
Will a team score a safety is one of the most popular Super Bowl defensive prop bets every year. The only problem is gamblers see the high odds of +600 for “yes,†and they see a potential windfall. Odds are totally against that Super Bowl defensive prop bet. In 53 […]
Could the Premier Golf League, a newly proposed organization, relegate the PGA Tour to a minor league equivalent? PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan isn’t taking any chances.

Forgotten in all the hype of Tiger Woods, and the battle between Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka for the #1 ranking, is Dustin Johnson. For golf gamblers, that may be a costly mistake. Johnson returns to Saudi Arabia this week to defend his title at the Saudi Invitational, played at […]

Tiger Woods might not have won the Farmers Insurance Open, but his tie for ninth at Torrey Pines on Sunday impressed oddsmakers enough to make him one of the co-favorites at April’s Masters. The 44-year-old moved from 14/1 to 10/1 at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. Woods joins the top […]
Two quarterbacks are virtually guaranteed to be first-round picks in the NFL Draft come April. But those who are not LSU’s Joe Burrow or Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa needed a strong performance at Saturday’s Senior Bowl if they wanted a chance to go early. In a week of festivities that culminated […]
