Chappell builds 5-shot lead at Gretzky event

Golf Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Clarksburg, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The tournament may be named for an all-time NHL great, but this week continues to be the Kevin Chappell show.

One day after he set the Nationwide Tour's 36-hole scoring record, Chappell built a five-shot lead at the Wayne Gretzky Classic with a three-under 68 in Saturday's third round.

Chappell finished the day with a 22-under 192, just two strokes off the tour's 54-hole scoring record.

However, Chappell did break the tournament's 54-hole mark by four shots.

Keegan Bradley had a 70 and slipped five shots off the lead at 17-under 197, but still remained in solo second place.

Gavin Coles (65) and Bobby Gates (67) were two shots further back at 15-under 199 and unlikely to be a factor in the final round considering how well the leader has been playing.

How good has Chappell been? He hasn't made a bogey through 54 holes, collecting 22 birdies and 32 pars on the way to his five-shot lead. He had three birdies and 15 pars Saturday -- his worst round of the week.

"[The putts] didn't fall in today, but I kept my momentum going into tomorrow and I built on a lead," Chappell said. "If the putts fall tomorrow it should be a fun round."

Chappell, who has led since an opening-round 61, is already two strokes better (in relation to par) than Roger Tambellini's winning score last year.

The 24-year-old is trying to become the first two-time winner on tour this season, having already captured the Fresh Express Classic in April.

NOTES: The tour's 54-hole total scoring record of 190 was set by David Branshaw at the 2002 Gila River Golf Classic...Arjun Atwal holds the tour record for most strokes under par through 54 holes at 24-under...Tambellini set the previous tournament 54-hole mark at 196 last year.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
