If you are a college athlete, please stop reading.Odds have been posted for the 2026 US Open being played next week for a record 5th time at Shinnecock Hills on the eastern end of Long Island.In 1896, James Foulis won the Open and a prize of $150. In 2018, Bruce Koepka was the winner, and he collected $2,160,000.00.This year's champion will earn $4,300,000.00.Oregon man Wyndham Clark has been playing very well of late. Wyndham is one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour, and his approach, short game, and putting are back in the form he played with when he won the Open at the Los Angeles Country Club in 2023.The odds on Wyndham winning are as low as +1400 at Polymark, which is available only to bettors in Europe. (And in Lubbock? 🤪)By comparison, at Bally's Sports Book, Wyndham's odds to win his second Open are +10,000. You cash your ticket if Wyndham wins, places, or shows. (Finishes 1st, 2nd, or third.)Tune in to cheer on Wyndham and watch the Open being played on the venerable and challenging Shinnecock Hills golf course.At the Women's US Open played last week at Riveria Country Club, Oregon golfer Kiara Romero was the top amateur in the field.

June 13Jun 13 No. I never bet with real money, but did quite well at a now-defunct sports message board that used to give each participant $5,000 in imaginary money to bet on college football games. My favorite win was betting on UConn to defeat some highly ranked team (I have forgotten who). The spread was 41 points, and UConn lost by only 40, so I won that bet. 😊
