Golf Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Canonsburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Geoffrey Sisk remained atop the leaderboard Saturday when the second round of the rain-delayed Mylan Classic was completed.

Sisk played the final three holes of his round and finished off a four-under 67, taking a two-shot lead into the third round.

He returned to the Southpointe course in the morning and bogeyed the 16th hole, but got that shot back with a birdie at the 18th, completing 36 holes with a 10-under 132.

Sisk, who was a first round co-leader, is chasing his first Nationwide Tour win.

Dave Schultz parred his last hole for a 65, completing his climb from a tie for 23rd place after the first round into solo second at eight-under 134.

Steve Wheatcroft also had a 65 and was in third place at seven-under 135.

PGA Tour player Rocco Mediate (69) led a five-way tie at 136 with the third round set to get underway. Mediate is playing on the Nationwide Tour for the first time.

The second round was delayed for 80 minutes Friday because of rain and threatening conditions. It was later suspended due to darkness with 27 players left on the course.

The 36-hole cut fell at one-under 141 with 61 players moving on to the third round.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
