Whittaker wins in Tennessee
Golf Betting Lines
10/21/2007 - Chattanooga, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ron Whittaker struggled a bit down the stretch Sunday, but hung on for his first Nationwide Tour victory at the Chattanooga Classic.
Whittaker only managed a two-under 70 in Sunday's final round, but it was enough for a one-shot win at 17-under 271.
This was sweet revenge for Whittaker, who is now comfortably inside the top 25 on the money list and will head to the PGA Tour next year. Last week, he lost a playoff to Brad Adamonis at the WNB Classic.
Australia's David McKenzie shot a four-under 68 on Sunday to take second place by himself at 16-under par.
Tag Ridings and Tommy Tolles both posted 68s to join Patrick Sheehan, who carded a final-round 69, in a tie for third place at 15-under-par 273.
Whittaker began the final round with a one-shot lead, but put some distance between himself and the field early. He birdied his first two holes, then added another at the par-four fifth.
Whittaker bogeyed No. 9 and thanks to five birdies and a bogey in a seven-hole span on the front nine by Sheehan, Whittaker's lead was shaved down to a single stroke.
At the par-four 13th, Whittaker recorded a birdie to extend his margin. Sheehan birdied the 14th to stay within one, but bogeys at 16 and 17 dropped him down the leaderboard.
Whittaker was armed with a three-shot cushion over McKenzie, who birdied the 15th, and Sheehan. Unfortunately for Sheehan, a bogey at the 17th knocked him out of contention.
McKenzie birdied the par-five closing hole and Whittaker bogeyed the 17th so the lead was back to one shot. Whittaker was able to par the last to hang on for the win and the $85,500 first-place check.
Brad Elder (69) and Henrik Bjornstad (72) shared sixth place at minus-14.
Camilo Benedetti (68), Zoran Zorkic (70) and Scott Sterling (71) tied for eighth place at 13-under-par 275.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
