Nine online sportsbooks in Pennsylvania present lots of lines, betting markets, boosts, tweets and promotions. The coronavirus pandemic forced the shutdown of major sports on March 12. Since then, books have gotten creative to fill the void.

Each week we take a look around the books to bring you some highlights. Sports seems to be waking from their shutdown-induced slumber. There is more to the books now than just table tennis.

The PGA Tour doesnt return until June 11 but you can bet on golf this weekend. Two iconic Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks team up with two legendary golfers for charity on Sunday, May 14 at 3 p.m.

The Match: Champions for Charity pairs Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in an 18-hole competition with two different formats.

The front nine will be four ball play. Each of the golfers will only play his ball throughout the hole. The lower of the partners scores will count as the teams score for that hole.

The back nine will be alternate slot play. The parters will share one golf ball per hole and alternate taking shots.

Considering the foursome represent royalty in their respective sports, its only fitting that DraftKings is rolling out the red carpet. Its a big deal for sports betting, too. Tiger and Phil will be making bets in-play.

What is Bundesliga? Germanys top tier of club soccer. They have the best average attendances in Europe (43,300). However, no fans are in attendance this season.

Are there a lot of 1-0 matches? During the 2018-2019 season, Bundesligas 306 matches had a total of 973 goals which averages to 3.18 per game. The rate is greater than the English Premier League (2.82), Italys Serie A (2.68), Spains La Liga (2.59) and Frances (2.56). No Bundesliga season has ever finished with an average below 2.58.

How can I watch Bundesliga? PlaySugarHouse and BetRivers stream the matches along with some other PA online sportsbooks.

ESPN airs six Korean Baseball Organization games a week. It has gained the interest of bettors with the Doosan Bears getting the most handle.

We miss the Phillie Phanatic, even though his appearance has been slightly altered. We dont have Major League Baseball, yet. And when we do, apparently there will be no mascots. That makes no sense. They are literally wearing the most creative form of PPE!

Instead, we have the NC Dinos mascot. A dinosaur with a pair of jacked forearms. Gym shutdowns might have made our workout routine extinct, but this long-necked dino still finds a way to get his reps in.
