With lots of big news stories breaking over the last seven days so lets take our regular look back at some of the most important

The United States once again found its problems with racism front and center as a twenty one year old white supremacist gunned down nine members of a black church’s congregation in Charleston, South Carolina. Dylann Roof was later arrested and charged with the murders. Also raising issues of gun control the National Rife Association managed to excel itself with one executive stating on the internet that the blame for the deaths lay with the church that wouldn’t allow the congregation to carry weapons of their own. Hastily deleted the comments highlight the US’ dysfunctional relationship with guns.

The financial row between Greece and the Eurozone nations continued last week as both sides failed to agree on proposals for the maintenance of the nation’s crippling debt. Greeks fear the imposition of harsh austerity measures imposed by the EU, European Central Bank and IMF, will further damage their economy and the bankers refuse to unlock bailout funds before the Greeks agree. June 30th sees the deadline for a payment of 1.6 billion Euros on Greek debt and failure to pay might see them exit the currency sparking an even wider crisis.

Casino owner and billionaire buffoon, Donald Trump, a man with a naturally occurring wig and no sense of his own ridiculousness, announced he would be standing as a candidate for President of the United States in 2016 and in a rambling speech at the Trump Tower in Manhattan, squarely placed the blame for the nation’s problems on the shoulders of Mexicans who he seemed to believe were all gun runners, drug dealers and rapists. His entry into an already crowded Republican field ensures this election won’t be short on comedy even as the infighting begins on that side of the aisle.

In sport Tiger Woods’ slump in performance hit a new low as he missed the cut for the US Open fifteen years after winning it by a clear 15 shot lead. With recent performances disappointing many fans are wondering when the star will bounce back and make a rousing return to his winning ways. Will he manage it? You’ll have to read our daily news pages to find out if he does or not, but in the meantime lets look back over some of the major stories we covered over the last seven days.

1. Gambling Results announced one of the greatest sports events in football, Copa America.

2. Jack Wilshere scored two goals against Slovenia and provided a comeback victory in England’s EURO 2016 qualifier.

3. New Jersey lawmakers have a referendum in mind regarding adding more casinos to New Jersey outside Atlantic City.

4. Gambling Results sketched a review of the NBA Finals game three where the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors played on Tuesday June 9th.

5. As the trophy got a little bit closer to one of the teams, Gambling Results thought of presenting the highlights of the NBA Finals game four between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors on Thursday July 11.

6. Taking a look at some transfers in football, we saw Jose Mourinho, Chelsea’s coach showing confidence in Falcao’s recovery.

7. As last week was all about basketball, we analyzed the NBA Finals games five and six between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors in which the Warriors won claiming the 2015 NBA Championship.

Meanwhile the bravery of a cat was recognized in Los Angeles last week when the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals presented it’s trophy for National Hero Dog to Tara, a feline, instead.
Tara had run to the aid of its six year old autistic owner who, whilst riding his bike in the front yard, had been attacked by a neighbor’s dog. The cat then bit the dog and chased it away returning to Jeremy’s side. The trophy was suitably amended to read cat not dog before it’s presentation.

Tiger is not his real name. This golf legend – perhaps the most famous golfer who ever lived – was born Eldrick Tont Woods. The name “Tiger” was given to him as a child by his father, and the nickname stuck with him through adulthood.

Woods’ father was a Vietnam vet. His mother was originally from Thailand. Both of his parents had mixed ancestry, making Woods one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-quarter African American, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch. To keep things simple, Woods refers to himself as Cablinasian (Caucasian, Black, (American) Indian, and Asian.

In 1978, when Woods was 2 years old, he made his first television golf appearance, putting against showstar Bob Hope on The Mike Douglas Show. Before the year was up, he had won his first golf competition.  At age three, he shot a 48 over nine holes over the Cypress Navy course, and at age five, he appeared in Golf Digest. Woods established himself as a golf prodigy from an early age, and has yet to live down that title.

As a teenager, Woods’ career really picked up. He started getting noticed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, and he was winning more big events than ever before. In 1994, at the age of 19, he moved on from his Junior League career to play in the U.S. Amateur Championship, becoming the youngest winner the event had ever seen.

After high school, Woods attended Stanford University on a golf scholarship. After two years of mixing school and golf, he left university, went pro, and immediately signed a $40 million endorsement deal with Nike – the biggest such deal the golf world had ever seen. Since then, the sponsorship deals have only increased, during Woods into the most marketable athlete the world has ever seen.

Woods has had an impressive pro career. To date, he has won 71 official PGA Tour events including 14 majors. His focus is on raw power, and he is known for his long drives. His short game is also good – his putting skills, especially when he’s under pressure, are a sight to behold. Despite his incredible skill he remains cautious in his game – he plays fewer big events than most pros, preferring to spend more time preparing for each one to be sure he plays the best game he can play.

The man’s skills have certainly paid off. Last year, Forbes confirmed that Woods is the first male athlete in sports history to earn more than one billion dollars during his career.

Woods has had a bad year, there’s no question about that. He’s lost many of his most lucrative sponsorships, and his charities have taken a hit. But as of April 2010 Woods back in the game, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, both Both William Hill and Ladbrokes, two of the largest online sportsbooks, have Woods listed as the 4-1 favorite to win the next Masters. Does he still have what it takes?

Golfer Tiger Woods, who has been in the limelight in recent months because of a scandal surrounding his personal life, has turned down a lucrative sponsorship offer from Paddy Power, Ireland’s biggest bookmaker. Woods has lost many of his biggest sponsors in recent months. Paddy Power intends to turn around with an even better offer.

New York Times: Woods Turns Down Paddy Power Sponsorship Offer

Golfer Tiger Woods turned down a five year, $75 million sponsorship offer from the Irish online sportsbook Paddy Power. Upon being rejected, Paddy Power announced intentions to an improved offer.

Woods has been losing sponsors lately. The 14-times major champion winner lost his deal with sports drink brand Gatorade last week. Gatorade was the third major corporate sponsor to dump Woods since details of his inappropriate conduct hit the newsstands last year.

The golf star was earning $100 million in endorsement deals annually before taking a break from golf in December. Woods has not said when he intends to return to the sport when he spoke to media last month. He has remained very quiet since the scandal over his private life erupted in December.

During last year’s U.S. PGA Championship, Paddy Power lost 1.5 million euros to bettors who had gambled on Woods after just 36 holes, even though Woods lost to South Korea’s Yang Yong-eun at the end of the event.

Market Watch: Woods turns down $75 million sponsorship offer

Paddy Power, a publicly traded internet sports betting company in Ireland, offered Tiger Woods’ representatives a $75 million sponsorship deal over the next five years.

Woods turned down the offer. The company said it “remains keen” to strike a deal, and intends make an “enhanced” offer to secure the deal.

Woods has lost many of his endorsements in the last few months, including Accenture and Gatorade, ever since he admitted to having multiple affairs.

Procter & Gamble’s Gillette has kept Woods’ contract alive, might not use Woods in any more ads. Nike and Electronic Arts also continue to honor their contracts.

Woods has publically apologized for his recent actions, but has not said when he will begin golfing again.

Paddy Power has a history of spending on its message: Marketing expenses were nearly 29 million euros in 2009, while recorded profits were around 58 million euros.

Business Week: Paddy Power to Raise Woods Offer After Bid Rejected

Paddy Power, Ireland’s biggest sportsbook, intends will increase its sponsorship offer to Tiger Woods after their previous bid of $75 million over five years was rejected by the golfer.

“Paddy Power remains keen to work with Tiger Woods, and will re-engage” said the Dublin-based group. “An enhanced offer will be made.”

“Tiger as a brand is up there with Coca-Cola and Pepsi. It’s something we are quite serious about.” The new offer will be “somewhat more generous,” he said.

Woods, who is a 14-time major-tournament winner, recently lost his sponsorship deals with Accenture Plc and AT&T Inc. These contracts were broken after Woods admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, and announcing that he intended to take indefinite break from playing golf.
