07/17/2010 - Maineville, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tommy Gainey fired a 10-under 62 on Saturday and extended his lead after three rounds of the inaugural Chiquita Classic.
Gainey finished 54 holes at 24-under 192 and is four strokes clear at TPC River's Bend, as that 24-under score matched the Nationwide Tour's record for most strokes under par after 54 holes.
"It's a great layout. I'm not hitting it very far off the tee, but I'm hitting pretty straight," said Gainey. "I'm just making putts. I'm hitting some solid iron shots, hitting them pretty close and making putts. That's how I've shot the numbers I've shot so far."
Arjun Atwal was 24-under after three rounds of the 2008 Chattanooga Classic. Atwal went on to victory two years ago and if Gainey can match that feat, it would be his second win of the season.
Gainey captured the Melwood Prince George's County Open and is fifth on the Nationwide Tour money list. Even without a victory on Sunday Gainey is close to being a lock for a PGA Tour card next year through his spot on the money list. But another win would put him one away from the automatic PGA Tour promotion for winning three times in one season on the Nationwide Tour.
Colt Knost shot an eight-under 64 and is alone in second at minus-20. Justin Smith closed with a birdie and an eagle for a five-under 67 and is third at 18-under 198.
Everyone will be chasing Gainey, who got off to a great start on Saturday with a birdie at three and an unlikely eagle at the par-four second. Gainey two- putted for birdie on the par-five eighth and 11th holes, but was only two ahead.
Knost made three birdies in a four-hole span from the 11th to trim the margin to one. Gainey, playing in the group behind Knost, birdied 11 and hit a spectacular second from the rough to eight feet to set up birdie at 13. Gainey gave himself a tap-in birdie at the 14th to remain two in front.
Knost stopped making birdies, but Gainey didn't. At the 15th, Gainey hit his approach to six feet and drained the birdie effort. His putter stayed hot at the very next hole when he ran home a 30-footer for birdie to move four clear of Knost.
At the last, Knost made a birdie to momentarily cut the lead to three. Gainey reached the green in two at the par-five closing hole and converted his six- foot birdie putt to reach the Nationwide Tour record books.
Chris Kirk, the leading money winner on the Nationwide Tour, posted a four- under 68 and is tied for fourth place with first-round leader Peter Tomasulo (65) and Joe Affrunti (67). The trio is knotted at 17-under 199.
Jamie Lovemark (64), Darron Stiles (64), Scott Stallings (65), Dave Schultz (63), Geoffrey Sisk (66) and Brendan Steele (68) share seventh place at minus-16.
NOTES: Only 22 players of the 68 who made the cut failed to break 70 on Saturday...Gainey, known as "Two Gloves" since he wears gloves on both hands, was a contestant on The Golf Channel's "Big Break" series...With a win on Sunday, Gainey would move to first on the Nationwide Tour money list.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
