There is an NL MVP odds post coming at some point. But these are time sensitive. First, from Bodog . What colour will Ian Poulter's outfit be on the first day of the British Open? All bets have action. Based on Predominate Color They first list a bunch of colors. "Red and White" is the favorite at 4/1. And then: Purple with Yellow Polka Dots, 150/1 He Will Tee Off Naked, 1000/1 I ...

Coming Up With A U.S. Bank Championship Outright

It’s a slow week so I figured this would be an ideal time to walk you guys through my ultra sophisticated golf outright selection process. Hopefully this gives my picks less of a straight from the ass feel in the future. I am doing this for the U.S. Bank Championship rather than the British Open because the odds are fresher. I have been obsessing over the Open for weeks now already. ...

SOUTHPORT, England - In betting parlors and inside the ropes, Sergio Garcia has never had better odds of winning a major. No one has more top 10s in the British Open this...
