Health officials approve PGA’s no spectator plan

The silence that greeted the return of the PGA Tour at Colonial will be a familiar sound for the first major of the year. The PGA of America has submitted plans to hold the PGA Championship at Harding Park without spectators, and the San Francisco Chronicle reports public health officials have accepted it. An announcement was pending approval by San Francisco officials and was expected as early as Tuesday.

Djokovic wraps up charity event in Serbia

An emotional Novak Djokovic wrapped up the first leg of his charity tournament Sunday in Belgrade, Serbia, and his tears had nothing to do with his final standing. Djokovic’s Adria Tour, which he planned in conjunction with his charity foundation while he was in Spain amid the sport’s pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, featured a raucous weekend of tennis in his home country in front of capacity crowds. And though the world’s top-ranked player went just 2-1 in the event, the tournament’s success got the better of him late. “I am not crying because I got knocked out of the tournament, I […]

Can you really Gamble without losing Money?

As everyone knows, whenever you gamble someone has to lose. That’s just the way gambling works. Since the house always wins it’s tempting to say you should just become the house. But even if you set up an underground casino you need money to cover the variance in the games you run. The only time the casino’s own money is on the line is when they start a new game or give a high roller authorization to make a ridiculously large bet. As soon as players start losing money on games the casinos replace their reserve funds from money the […]
