Golf Betting Lines

12/14/2011 - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tom Lehman was named the Champions Tour Player of the Year on Wednesday.

Lehman became the first player in history to win Player of the Year honors on all three tours affiliated with the PGA Tour. He won the PGA Tour award in 1996 when he captured the British Open, and took home the Nationwide Tour honor in 1991.

"It was a goal of mine to complete Player of the Year on all three tours and it's very satisfying to achieve something you set out to do," said Lehman. "To prove yourself as the best player of the year at every level is very satisfying. There are so many guys I respect and admire on the Champions Tour who had great years as well. We pushed each other week after week. I'm sure someone else will accomplish this feat in the future. I'm one of the few guys to have had a chance to play all three tours."

Lehman won three times on the elder circuit in 2011 and walked off with the Charles Schwab Cup and money title. Lehman also became the first player in history to win the money title in all three of the tours.

Lehman titled at the Allianz Championship and Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic. His final victory of the campaign came at the Tradition, where he knocked off Peter Senior in a playoff. It was his second Champions Tour major championship.

Kenny Perry captured the Champions Tour Rookie of the Year honors. He made two starts last year, but he made 10 official starts in 2011 to earn the award.

Perry won the SAS Championship and did so after his sister died the night before the final round. Perry and partner Scott Hoch lost in a playoff at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. He also finished with seven top 10s.

Chip Beck won the Champions Tour Comeback Player of the Year award. He came in 26th on the money list after playing most of the previous seasons with conditional status. Beck posted four top 10s in 2011 and his earnings this year bested his earnings in 2009 and 2010 combined.

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.
