Golf Betting Lines

07/18/2010 - Hildisrieden, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alessandro Tadini fired a seven- under 65 Sunday to come from behind and win the Credit Suisse Challenge on the European Challenge Tour.

Tadini finished at 22-under-par 266 for his third Challenge Tour victory.

Third-round leader Stuart Manley carded a three-under 69 to slip into a share of second place at minus-21. Marius Thorp fired a six-under 66 to join Manley at 21-under-par 267.

Julien Guerrier (67) and Julien Clement (68) shared fourth at minus-19.

Tadini birdied the first to open his round. After an eagle on the par-five seventh, he birdied the ninth to turn in 19-under.

The Italian tripped to a bogey on 10, but posted another eagle at the 13th to get to 20-under. Tadini birdied the final two holes for the third straight round to claim his first win since 2008.

Manley dropped a shot on the 16th, then birdied the final two holes to end one back. That was his fifth bogey to go with six birdies and an eagle.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
