Golf Betting Lines

08/31/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte has been awarded the 2017 PGA Championship.

The course, featuring one of the toughest three-hole finishes in golf, has hosted a popular PGA Tour event since 2003.

It will become the third North Carolina venue to host the PGA Championship, joining Pinehurst (1936) and Tanglewood (1974).

"We're especially proud to host an event that has the history and tradition of the PGA Championship. It is one of America's truly great championships," said John W. Harris, president of the club's board of governors.

Quail Hollow will host the 99th PGA Championship.

No stranger to big events, it has been the host of a well-attended PGA Tour stop since 2003. The tournament, which will be called the Wells Fargo Championship in 2011, has drawn top-flight fields to Charlotte for a lucrative purse.

The winners since 2003 have included Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim, Vijay Singh, Sean O'Hair, David Toms and Joey Sindelar.

Rory McIlroy won this year's tournament -- called the Quail Hollow Championship -- when he fired a course-record 62 in the final round to beat Phil Mickelson by four shots.

SPORTS BETTING

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 .
