Golf Betting Lines

12/15/2011 - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Nationwide Tour unveiled its 2012 schedule on Thursday and it will begin with three events outside the United States.

The first two events of the year flip-flop spots on the calendar with the Pacific Rubiales Colombia Championship kicking off the season on Feb. 16.

Two weeks later, the tour heads to Panama for the Panama Claro Championship, which was the first stop last year. The following week the tour will move to Chile for the first of three new events.

The first U.S. stop will be in Louisiana, from March 22-25, with two tournaments in California after that. The tour returns east for four events, then has its final event outside the United States from June 7-10 with the Mexico Open.

The second new event, the United Leasing Championship at Victoria National Golf Club, takes place June 28-July 1 in Indiana.

The second half of the season has the tour making its annual stops in Wichita, Omaha, Boise and Midland, Texas.

As the tour heads into October, it will move to Potomac, Maryland for the Neediest Kids Championship, which is the final new event this season.

The tour wraps up its season from October 25-28, with the Nationwide Tour Championship at a new location, the TPC Craig Ranch. That event moved from Daniel Island Club in Charleston, S.C.

"The growth and impact of the Nationwide Tour we saw in 2011 was especially significant," said Bill Calfee, president of the Nationwide Tour. "Alumni victories on the PGA Tour reached 320 and were highlighted by seven wins by members of our 2010 class, including 2011 Rookie of the Year Keegan Bradley's extraordinary effort at the PGA Championship.

"On the Nationwide Tour, we experienced many memorable storylines and enjoyed one of our best years ever, both competitively and in terms of community impact."

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
