Golf Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ai Miyazato remained No. 1 in the world rankings for women's golf for the third week in a row.

Miyazato grabbed the No. 1 ranking from Cristie Kerr following a win on August 22, her third victory on the LPGA Tour this season. She held the top spot two times before that, but both stints lasted only a week.

Kerr remained No. 2 behind Miyazato, but Jiyai Shin moved up one spot to No. 3, bumping Suzann Pettersen to No. 4.

Yani Tseng, Na Yeon Choi, Michelle Wie, In Kyung Kim, Song-Hee Kim and Paula Creamer rounded out the top 10 in the same positions they held last week.

Anna Nordqvist, Karrie Webb, Angela Stanford, Morgan Pressel, Inbee Park and Sakura Yokomine also held the same spots (11-16), while Mi-Jeong Jeon moved up one to 17th and Sun Ju Ahn leapt two to 18th.

Those moves knocked Chie Arimura down two places to 19th and Brittany Lincicome down one to 20th.

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.
