Gangluff grabs medalist honors at Q School
Golf Betting Lines
12/05/2011 -
LaQuinta, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brendon Todd closed with his second straight
four-under 68 on Monday to take medalist honors at PGA Tour Q School.
Todd ended the 108-hole marathon at 17-under 415. He won on the Nationwide
Tour in 2008, but struggled this year on that tour making just 10 cuts in 24
starts.
Now, he is one of 29 players heading to the PGA Tour.
Stephen Gangluff closed with a two-under 70 to end in second at minus-16.
Bobby Gates (66) and Seung-yul Noh (67) shared third at 15-under-par 417.
Gates finished 126th on the PGA Tour money list this year, but kept his tour
card with this finish.
Vaughn Taylor, a two-time winner of the Reno-Tahoe Open, shot 69 to end
alongside Tommy Biershenk (68) and Jarrod Lyle (69) at minus-14.
Marco Dawson had the lead entering the final round, but he struggled to a
four-over 76. He shared eighth with Brian Harman (70) and four-time PGA Tour
winner Bob Estes (67) at 13-under-par 419.
Kevin Kisner (67) and Sang-Moon Bae (66) shared 11th place at minus-12. Former
PGA Tour winner Jeff Maggert shot two-under 70 to end at 11-under 421. He was
joined there by Roberto Castro, William McGirt, Charlie Beljan and Harris
English, who won on the Nationwide Tour as an amateur in 2011.
Greg Owen, Scott Dunlap, Patrick Sheehan, Edward Loar, Will Claxton and Daniel
Summerhays tied for 18th at minus-10.
Mark Anderson shot 69 to finish at nine-under 423. He was joined there by
Alexandre Rocha (72) and Richard H. Lee (68). Lee was the only player that
played the final round on the Stadium Course to earn his PGA Tour card.
Since Castro and Anderson had already secured their PGA Tour cards for 2012 by
finishing inside the top 25 on the Nationwide Tour money list, three players
that shared 27th place will have full status on the PGA Tour next year.
Nathan Green, whose exemption from winning the 2009 Canadian Open ran out at
the end this season, will keep his tour card. Colt Knost, who had his card in
2011 via the 2010 Nationwide Tour money list, and John Huh ended alongside
Green at minus-eight. They were the final three to earn full status on the PGA
Tour for 2012.
Play rotated between the Nicklaus Tournament Course and TPC Stadium Course at
PGA West throughout the six rounds. The leaders played the final round on the
Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Those that finished at seven- and six-under par will have full status on the
Nationwide Tour next year, while the remainder of the field has conditional
status on that tour in 2012.
Todd closed with a bogey-free round. On the front side, he had birdies on
five and seven. After six consecutive pars, Todd drained birdies at 14 and 15
to get to 17-under. He parred out to end there.
"I wanted to shoot a couple under par each day, which seems to get it done at
this event," said Todd in a television interview.
Todd did what he had hoped coming into the week as he carded two 71s, one 69
and three 68s.
Gangluff birdied the second, but gave that stroke right back with a bogey on
the third. He had birdies on the seventh, 11th and 14th to grab a piece of the
lead at 17-under. Gangluff tripped to a bogey at the last to give Todd
medalist honors.
"All year on the Nationwide Tour I struggled. I played well in Q School
though," Gangluff stated in a TV interview. "I felt good coming into week. I'm
happy I played well."
Among those that failed to regain their full status for next year were former
major champions David Duval, Rich Beem, Lee Janzen and Shaun Micheel as well
as Arnold Palmer's grandson, Sam Saunders, who tied for 109th, and Jason Gore,
who narrowly missed a birdie putt on his final hole that would have gotten him
to minus-eight.
NOTES: Gangluff played one season on the PGA Tour in 2002...He made 10 of 27
cuts and ended 176th on the money list that year...Seven players had made it
through the first three stages of Q School, but none of them finished in the
top-29...The last silly season event for the PGA Tour kicks off Friday with
the Franklin Templeton Shootout.

NFL Football Betting Online
In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
