Third Round Birdie Leaving Edge Of Maintenance

Golf Betting Lines

The Dane tallied three birdies in his first six holes, but bogeyed the seventh, a hole he has made five on in each of the first three rounds of the tournament.

 

Bjorn, who won this year's Irish Open, recorded pars on his next four holes, then ran home an eight-foot birdie putt at the closing hole to get in at minus-11.

 

"It has got a huge place in my heart and always will have," said Bjorn, who has nine wins on tour. "Any pro will tell you their first victory is the most special one. I don't think we play a finer venue on the tour. When it is like this and the weather is fine, it is spectacular."

 

Ernie Els, a two-time winner of this tournament, shot a four-under 67 on Saturday. He is tied for 10th place with Jamie Donaldson (71), Mark Foster (68) and Charl Schwartzel (72). The group is knotted at seven-under-par 206.

 

Roberts began the third round in a tie for 15th place after the second round -- suspended due to inclement weather on Friday -- was completed in the morning.

 

It was also his first Champions Tour title after winning eight times on the PGA Tour.

 

But since winning the MasterCard Championship, Turtle Bay Championship and ACE Group Classic to begin 2006, the 51-year-old Roberts has since collected eight top-10 finishes without another win.

 

Saturday, Roberts began making a move with back-to-back birdies to begin his third round. He added birdies at the fifth and seventh holes to make the turn at 10-under, then collected another birdie at the 10th.

 

Don Pooley -- one of eight players who held a share of the second-round lead -- now heads a group of four players who are tied for fifth place. Pooley shot a two-under 70 in the third round and is tied with Bobby Wadkins (65), Des Smyth (68) and Jim Thorpe (69) at minus-10.

 

Ozaki slipped further in the third round, shooting a one-over 73 to tumble into a tie for 16th place at seven-under.

American Idol Betting Season 6 Strategies  

It's that time of year folks.  Betting on American Idol Season 9.  And we have plenty of American Idol Season 6 strategies appearing below.  With the Top 24 finalists revealed, online gambling sites will be offering betting odds on each of them, including MySportsbook.com.

No other “event” has been growing as fast as wagering on American Idol. It has turned into a huge betting event with reasonably high limits and all sorts of profit-making potential for sharp bettors. Last year, MySportsbook.com experienced unprecedented traffic as a result of the American Idol betting craze.

Every week there will be odds to win American Idol, various elimination props and contestant versus contestant match-ups at the MySportsbook.com website.

Whether a fan of America’s top-rated show or watching only because of a wife or girlfriend, here are some of basic strategies to use when betting American Idol.

Odds to Win

There are a few things to consider when looking for the right win bet. First off, remember that this bet is for the long haul. Many people make the mistake of picking the performer who sang the best the previous week. This strategy leads to an underlay situation – betting a price, which is less than what it should be.

All Idol contestants struggle at some point in the competition, so you should always look for value. In last year’s competition alone, two performers who had some of the best performances early in the series were subsequently bet down to low prices - Lisa Tucker and Ace Young. After just a few weeks, Tucker had already been eliminated, while Young quickly became a huge long shot to win America’s largest talent search.

A better strategy is to look for performers who don’t necessarily get the praise from the judges, but show flashes of the talent necessary to go the distance.

Another important thing to remember when betting any contestant to win is the demographic breakdown of the voters, the viewing public and potential future CD purchasers. Unlike sporting events, American Idol is not decided on the field of play – it’s decided by the American public under the guiding influence of the shows producers.

Understand that the great state of Alabama has a mighty edge when it comes to American Idol. 

Therefore, to be successful betting on American Idol, put any personal opinions or prejudices aside and think like the majority of the voting public. Remember that the typical voter is young, female and quite often, Southern.

If a contestant cannot appeal to this demographic, no matter how much talent he or she possesses, they’ll struggle for votes. Looks, demeanor and charisma are extremely important. And it’s no coincidence that every Idol winner so far has hailed from a Southern state.

Elimination Props

Every week MySportsbook.com anticipates offering a prop on who’ll be eliminated from the show each Wednesday night. A suggestion to handicap this is to gauge an overall feel for who’s the least popular contestant left in the competition. Generally the least popular performers have recently appeared in the bottom three and will have been the target of repeated criticism from the judges.

Last year, resources included dialidol.com and votefortheworst.com. Dialidol.com measures the volume of each contestant’s voting line. While by no means a perfect science, it does give a good indication of who is generating votes and who isn’t. Meanwhile, votefortheworst.com is a site that attempts to build support for the worst competitor to keep them in the competition for ‘entertainment’ value. The site has a proven track record of keeping performers around who most feel should have been voted off a long time ago.

Contestant vs. Contestant Match-ups

The best strategy for doing well on match-ups is to assess how close either of the contestants is to being eliminated. If neither is expected to be voted off of the show in the coming weeks, the value is almost always on the underdog. If both are expecting an imminent exit in the near future, the favorite in the match-up might offer value.

Watch for American Idol betting odds on each of the contestants shortly and good luck with these American Idol betting strategies.
