Daily Sports Betting Pick – June 18
June 18, 2009
US Open 2009 Odds are the main focus for this week but rain has put a damper on Round One. Check back tomorrow for more updates as they try to fit in two rounds of golf.
Golf Odds: Tiger Woods +190
Pick: Woods +190
The price per head value for the golfers isn’t equal here so look for an underdog. We’re forced to overpay for Tiger.

US Open 2009 Odds are the main focus for this week. It’s hard to argue with Tiger Woods winning it but there isn’t any value not betting him.

Golf Odds: Tiger Woods +190
There isn’t much value betting Woods this weekend. He’s a huge favorite and the public is all over him. At the same time, sometimes you pay for a brand name because it is simply better quality. That’s the case here with Woods as I’m more comfortable backing him on this impossible course, where he has won before, opposed to betting someone else who may or may not really have a chance to win.

Golf Odds: Tiger Woods +190
It’s hard to argue with Woods at the US Open this weekend. Bethpage is a tumultuous course but he’s tamed it before, winning at Bethpage Black back in 2002. He’s a huge favorite on the odds so go with what the odds makers are telling you: he’ll win.

Buick Invitational: No Tiger, No Excitement
February 4, 2009
March Madness betting is coming soon. For now, let’s do golf.
The Buick Invitational without Tiger Woods basically means that every one else has a chance now. Tiger’s won four straight Buick tournaments and would definitely be the sportsbook favorite, but right now, as we all know, he’s in repair.
So who is going to benefit now? Phil Mickelson has a good chance to win it now – as he does any week that Tiger is not around. Lefty won the tournament in 2000 and 2001, so Buick Invitational odds will have him among the favorites.
The problem is Mickelson played like absolute garbage last week and the sportsbook odds are too low, in my eyes, for a guy who hasn’t started to season very well.
Padraig Harrington is a 10-1 favorite but I think I’ll sooner give lefty a shot on thse golf odds.
