Our Countdown to Carnoustie continues and it’s time to get on the tee and make the big shots with our preview, picks and projections after analyzing the players and profiles. Our momentum in the majors continues after producing profit at the U.S. Open, which followed one of my best-ever results at the Masters with more match-up winners.
When determining players of interest in tournament and group match-ups, and contenders to ...

Walking through the convention halls at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas during the World Series of Poker is quite an experience.

But if you can’t attend the WSOP, poker fans can enjoy the Main Event broadcast coverage on ESPN and live stream on PokerGO. This past weekend, the Main Event final table ...

Carnoustie a Best Course - Open Prep Events Including Scottish Open
Carnoustie Golf Links ranks among the best courses in Scotland, and as I mentioned in my Open prep Countdown to Carnoustie, the championship course is regarded by most as the toughest test. Weather plays a pivotal role at the Open, but if it remains modest in both rain and wind, Carnoustie will be a hard but fair test. The fairways are more flat than other links courses, so uneven lies are not as common. This link will give ...

Carnoustie Regarded as Toughest Course on Open Rota and a Most Memorable Venue
In 1999, the course became known as “Carnasty” after 101 scores were posted of 80 or higher during the Open Championship at Carounstie in Angus, Scotland. That included 89 and 83 by 19-year old Sergio Garcia, who was making his Open debut and cried like a little boy after being overmatched at the historic championship venue at Carnoustie Golf Links, the hardest links course on the Open rota. The Royal and ...

MLB Perfect Betting Situation and High Scoring Teams
The Red Sox (59-29) and Yankees (56-28) continue their American League East battle as the two rivals boast the best records in baseball winning at a greater than 66% clip. One of those teams is going to end up as a wild card and forced to play a 1-game sudden death playoff game. A flawed system? Last year New York won 91 games and beat the Twins 8-4 in the wild card playoff game after falling behind 3-0 in the first inning, and then New York ...
