When you bet on sport at a bookie online you have a choice of american, decimal and fractional. Which odds type are you comfortable with ?

Moneyline bet risking $22 to win $5 on todays game rooting for New Mexico to bear down the Grizzlies. Grizzlies have lost 6 of the last 7 games that they have played. So I do not know why they are still playing ball. No common teams have neither of these two teams played. So with the point spread being nine, I am hoping the bookies are close on the line spread so I have a no brainer win.

The world's most famous and now scandal-riddled golfer, Tiger Woods, is going back to doing what he does best. No, not sleeping with everyone other than his wife – playing golf, silly!

Woods just released a statement announcing that he will indeed play in next month's Masters Golf Tournament.

Won $5 on my New Mmexico game by a score of 62-57.

The next day I risked $25 to win $5 that Pittsburgh would defeat Oakland. My team was losing by 4 points when I turned on the game, 7 minutes into the first half. Someone was bleeding all over the place. Fortunately, it was a scorer for Oakland . He was helped off the court. My team went on a 29-12 run, before he was able to return to the basketball game with 6 stitches. That was enough of a lead that he did not impact the ballgame. Pittsburgh won me $5 when they won 89-66.

Saturday's $750,000 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park was one for the record books. Coming out of last place, 20-1 long shot Ice Box made a late charge from the middle of the track with just three furlongs left to beat another long shot, Pleasant Prince, by a nose.

The Nick Zito trained horse covered the 1-1/8 miles in 1:49.19 and returned $43.40, $24.40 and $9.60.

"The plan was definitely to take him back, get to the fence, let them go at it up front and see what happens," said Zito."Once he came with that run, I said, 'Wow, here we go.'"

Race favorite Rule finished third, and Lentenor, full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, finished fourth.

With the win, Ice Box has earned a coveted spot in the May 1 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.

Trevor Immelman, a former champion, if you bet $100, you will win $10,000 if he wins. If you bet $100 for JB Holmes, you win $10,000. JB is leading this weekends tournament right now, and is one of the longest drivers on tour. If you bet $100 on Sergio Garcia, you will win $5000.00 if he wins.
And Tiger Woods will win you $350.00 more on a $100 bet. so make the $100 bets on the long shots, then bet $400 on TIger, if Tiger Wins you get $1250.00 win, if the one of your long shots win, you bank an absurd amount of money.

Very interesting.

Not a bad proposition bet if these were the only four individuals in the event. Maybe there are 50 other dark horses in this race? BOL.

In what could be the busiest PGA golf betting week in history, Bodog’s rolled out a whole heap of Tiger Woods props to celebrate his return to what he became famous for – golf – after months of what he became even more famous for – sex…and lots of it…with lots of partners…who’d had lots of plastic surgery.

So, how will the best player in the game do? His odds to win the Masters are currently 4/1. And then there are all the Tiger Woods props:

Will Tiger make the cut? Most people think he will, but if you think he won’t, you can bet $100 to win $500.

What will Tiger shoot on his first hole? Par is the 1/2 favorite, while eagle is the 80/1 long shot. For those that think even Tiger might be feeling some butterflies on the first tee, bogey (11/4) will be a popular choice.

Another of Bodog’s Tiger Woods Masters props asks whether he’ll lead after the first round, with yes currently at +600.

There haven’t been many aces in Masters history, but if you bet Tiger will get a hole-in-one and he does, you’ll be looking at a cool five grand on a $100 bet.

Go to the Bodog golf betting boards for all your Tiger Woods props at the 2010 Masters.

And remember that the four-time Masters champion will speak at 2 p.m. ET today in a news conference, where he will probably do a lot of ducking and diving of questions.

Bodog's online sportsbook has all your PGA golf odds and 2010 Masters Golf Tournament props.

Phil Mickelson donned his third green jacket Sunday at Augusta after firing a 5-under 67 to take the Masters by three strokes over Lee Westwood.

Lefty finished at 16-under and was met after the round with a big hug from his wife, Amy Mickelson, who has been waging a much-publicized fight with breast cancer.

“To win this tournament, it’s the most amazing feeling,” Mickelson told Jim Nantz in the Butler Cabin. “It’s been an emotional year and I’m very proud of my wife and the fight and struggle she’s been through.”

This was no runaway victory for Mickelson, who went into the tournament with 10/1 odds to win the Masters. His best moment of the day probably came on the par-5 13th hole, where he stuck his second shot right next to the pin after hitting off the pine straw and around a tree.

Westwood was a gallant adversary, as was third-place finisher Anthony Kim, who shot a scintillating 65 to rocket up the Masters scoreboard, only to fall four shots short.

A frustratingly inconsistent day was the story for Tiger Woods, who started the final round with three bogeys in the first five holes to finish in a tie for fourth, five shots back of the lead.

Woods made a great comeback after the rough start, impressively holing out for eagle on the par-4 seventh hole and adding another eagle on No. 15, but five bogeys on the day cost him in the end.

Congratulations :thumbsup

Tiger Woods made it interesting but finished in 4th place.

Great News!!

There is no question the two marquee stars in the NHL are Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby and Washington’s Alexander Ovechkin. Yet for all of Ovechkin’s individual brilliance – including two MVP awards – he has won just a single playoff series thus far in his career. Crosby, on the other hand, has reached the Stanley Cup Finals twice and hoisted the Cup last summer. Which star will outdo the other this season? You can bet on that with Bodog’s NHL playoff props.............
