Rory McIlroy admitted recently that he has been watching reruns of last year's US PGA Championship in preparation for his title defence, which begins today at the East Course of Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, up-state New York. No doubt he has kept one eye on his opponents, of which there are many. Tiger Woods looms as the biggest challenger, although the world number one told reporters that the chase for a 15 th major championship has been tougher than any other challenge. Woods, whose career was interrupted by the sex scandals of a couple of years ago, has won five tournaments this year but has not won a major since the 2008 US Open. The last time Oak Hill staged the PGA in 2003, it was won by virtually unknown golfer Shaun Micheel, completing a bizarre year in which Mike Weir, Jim Furyk and Ben Curtis won the other majors. This year has seen major wins from Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, so punters should expect another top player to win at the PGA.Bet365 Sports was offering the following pre-tournament betting odds on the title: Woods 4/1, Mickelson 14/1, Scott 16/1, Henrik Stenson 22/1, Brandt Snedeker 25/1, Justin Rose 28/1, Hunter Mahan, Lee Westwood, 30/1, McIlroy and a host of others 33/1, all others at 40/1 or over. The online sportsbook will be streaming the entire PGA Championship live and exclusive to all its customers through the Bet365 Live Sports channel. Simply use an existing account to view all the action, live and uninterrupted from Oak Hill. US PGA live betting will also be a big feature of Bet365's offering over the next four days. Pre-tournament betting will close with the first shot of the day, and all betting activity will move over to the in-play betting function where punters can find all the latest odds on title winner and other scenarios.

With England assured of holding on to The Ashes following a rained out third test in Manchester, the biggest news in the lead-up to the fourth test in Durham has been the reported dropping of Monty Panesar after he was caught urinating on a pair of nightclub bouncers. England lead the best-of-five series 2-0, but will hold on to The Ashes urn even in the unlikely event that Australia manages to tie the series with wins in the final two tests. Nonetheless, the English will be wary after the Aussies had them on the ropes at Old Trafford last week before the weather intervened. Australia selected fast bowler Jackson Bird ahead of first test hero Ashton Agar in their 12-man squad. The Australian selectors were expected to make a last-minute decision on whether to bring Bird into the starting XI ahead of injury-prone 33-year-old Ryan Harris.Bet365 Sports is offering the following odds on the fourth test ahead of the first ball on Friday: England 11/10, draw 21/10, Australia 3/1.

A group of addiction scientists and gambling consultants believe they can use casino customer-tracking information to spot high-risk gambling addicts and turn them away from their habits, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Research Breakthrough Problem gamblers are unsurprisingly suspicious of online casinos, but researchers believe that the casinos themselves hold the key to solving the habits of those who are most at risk - by using the same data they collect on customer betting habits to create computerized models that identify and warn problem gamblers. Early forms of this system have been employed by some government-run casinos and online betting firms outside the US, according to the WSJ report. Although these models vary, they all look for risky betting patterns, intensive play over long periods, big swings in behaviour, and chasing losses - that means betting heavily in an attempt to win back prior losses. Gamblers who are flagged as exhibiting problematic behaviour are given educational tools or a detailed analysis of their behaviour. In extreme cases, some casinos have even banned them from playing. Will it Catch On? While some online gambling firms have embraced the idea, experts such as Caesars CEO and former Harvard Business School professor Gary Loveman call it "a terrible idea". Loveman argues: "Is it McDonald's obligation to decide you have a problem because you have a tendency to eat high-calorie lunches? The idea gained some traction in the industry following a presentation by Harvard Medical School professor Sarah Nelson at a gambling and risk conference at Caesars Palace. She demonstrated the "Sports Bettor Algorithm 1.1", something we are sure to hear more about in the future.
