Dustin Johnson will try to rebound from a missed cut at the Masters with a win at the RBC Heritage. Here are some best bets for the event from handicapper Wes Reynolds.
The first major win by a Japanese man was a major loser for the South Point, which took some major wagers on Hideki Matsuyama at 75-1. He’s 30-1 to repeat in 2022.
The Japanese golfer closed as a 60-1 long shot in pretournament odds at the Westgate but didn’t get many takers there or at William Hill. He’s the -120 favorite in updated odds.
The UFC will serve up beatdowns for breakfast on Saturday, when the prelims for the UFC on ABC 2 card start at 9 a.m. at the Apex in Las Vegas.
Only one of the previous 23 outright leaders after the first round of the Masters has gone on to win the green jacket since 1985. Justin Rose has a four-shot lead.
Australian Cameron Smith is a popular long shot pick to win the Masters after he became the first golfer in tournament history to shoot four rounds in the 60s in November.
William Hill made Gonzaga the +550 favorite to win the 2022 national title and Baylor the +850 second choice. The Bears beat the Bulldogs in Monday’s final.
Fresh off his first PGA Tour win in four years, Jordan Spieth is the Masters ticket leader at William Hill, where he’s the 9-1 co-favorite with Dustin Johnson.
Gonzaga is a consensus 4½-point favorite over Baylor in Monday’s NCAA championship game. The Bears are by far the best outcome on futures bets for Las Vegas sportsbooks.
In a span of 11 days that began Thursday, fans and bettors can feast their eyes on a smorgasbord of baseball, the Final Four and NCAA championship and the Masters.
Handicapper Kelly Stewart went 4-1 ATS in the Sweet 16 and 12-5-1 ATS overall in the NCAA Tournament to beat Doug Fitz, who finished 10-6-1 ATS.
There are more than 20 notable players in the Valero Texas Open field who haven’t qualified for the Masters, and Wes Reynolds lists several as his best bets.
Luke Voit led the majors in homers in last year’s shortened season with 22. The Yankees first baseman was a 1,000-1 long shot in the original pool posted at the Westgate.
If a bettor had placed a $100 money line wager on Oregon State and kept rolling it over during its six-game winning streak, the bankroll would be a little more than $250,000.
