Recovering Tiger still sportsbook favorite for British Open

That’s why the news that Tiger is taking full swings at Medalist Golf Club -broken by Golf Channel’s Tim Rosaforte and confirmed by Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg- has been enough to automatically turn the 14-time champion into the odds-on favorite to win the 2014 British Open, which starts in one month at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Merseyside England.

2015 NBA Sportsbook Favorites

The 2014 NBA post-season just ended a couple of days ago, but online sportsbook websites have already figured the odds for the favorites to win the 2015 Championship. Not unsurprisingly both the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs are right at the top. What may be surprising though is that the Heat has better odds than the Spurs. The only thing that may conspire against San Antonio’s chances is the fact although Tim Duncan has won five NBA rings, he’s never won two consecutive championships. Duncan’s no longer essential for that to happen ; in fact he has become to Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard what the Admiral David Robinson once was to him. However, if his mere presence in the team is somehow  enough to take the Spurs out of the title hunt, then Miami would certainly become odds on favorites.

2014 NHL Draft Top Sportsbook Prospects

If the NHL Central Scouting top 10 prospects matched the entry draft order, then online sportsbook predictors would have an easier time figuring out who becomes the first overall pick.

Last year, for instance, to prospect Seth Jones was the 4th overall pick, while second best prospect Nathan MacKinnon was the first overall pick by the Colorado Avalanche. This year, the Panthers could easily go for Aaron Ekblad, Sam Reinhart, or Leon Draisaitl instead of Sam Bennet. Or they could forgo the first pick altogether and trade it in exchange for a top player, a prospect and another pick; a combination which would probably help them more than the first overall pick would.
