Birdie For Advantage Kelly

Golf Betting Lines

Kelly came back at the par-three 11th when his tee ball ran to three feet. He converted the birdie try to close the gap to three. With Pavin consistently making pars, Kelly had to take advantage of his best birdie opportunities.

 

At the par-five 15th, Pavin could only make a par, but Kelly, who ripped a drive almost through the fairway, reached the green in two. His 35-foot eagle putt did not fall, but he tapped in for birdie and found himself two behind with three to play.

 

Woody Austin (65), Joey Sindelar (67) and Billy Andrade (68) shared sixth place at 14-under-par 266. Dicky Pride (63), Dean Wilson (63), K.J. Choi (64) and Nathan Green (69) tied for ninth place at minus-13.

 

Annika Sorenstam tied for eighth place Saturday, but remained No. 1 overall again.

 

After Wie, Webb and Ochoa, Paula Creamer remained fifth and was again followed by Cristie Kerr, Juli Inkster, Yuri Fudoh and Jeong Jang, who will defend her Women's British Open title this week.

 

Grand Blanc, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods bogeyed his first hole after the re-start Saturday morning and fell one shot behind leader Brett Quigley at the Buick Open. Two weeks after winning the British Open, Woods stands at 12-under-par 132 through two rounds at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club.

 

The tournament has struggled to catch up following two weather delays during the first round Thursday.

 

Players who didn't complete their second rounds Friday returned to the course at 8 a.m. (et) Saturday. The third round began at 11:13 a.m. with threesomes teeing off on No. 1 and No. 10.

 

Jim Furyk leads a group of seven players who share seventh place at minus-10.

 

Lancashire, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sherri Steinhauer fired a flawless six-under 66 at the Women's British Open on Saturday, vaulting past a bevy of stars to take the lead after three rounds at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Looking for the second major title of her career -- and first in 14 years -- Steinhauer had four birdies to go along with an eagle at the par-five 15th on Saturday.

What Is the Point Spread?

What are Sports Betting Point Spreads?

In any football or basketball game (the main sports that use point spreads) there are two teams playing against each other.

Those teams, though, are rarely exactly evenly matched – meaning that typically one team has a better chance than the other to win the game. If bettors were allowed to bet on who was simply going to win the game, smart ones would obviously bet on the better team (likely winning more than 50% of the time in the process).

If winning were that easy the Las Vegas and online sportsbooks would stop taking any bets! This is where the point spread comes in: the basic function of the point spread is to balance the likelihood of each team “winning” by adjusting the final score by the point spread. After this adjustment is made you get the Against The Spread result (ATS result for short).

Let’s look at Super Bowl XXXIX, New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles. Most people believed the defending champ Patriots to be the better team – so if betting were simply based upon which team would win the game, an uneven majority of people would have wagered on New England. But, by using the point spread, the bookmakers adjusted the terms of the bet, evening the proposition so about half the people believed the Pats to be the smart bet, while the other half considered Philly to be the smart bet.

How to Read Point Spreads

New England Patriots -7 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The better team, called the Favorite, is expected to win the game and must “give” or “lay” points to the weaker team. The favorite is listed with a minus sign and the number of points they are favored by (e.g., New England -7)

In the case of our example, New England must not only win the game, but they must win by more than 7 points for Pats bettors to have a winning ATS result. An Eagles bettor wins his bet either if:
