JERSEY CITY, N.J. While the outcome at the Presidents Cup was effectively decided Saturday, the Internationals still have a mathematical chance to pull off an unprecedented upset. But the odds are long enough that they may be better served investing in Powerball tickets.The Americans now lead the biennial matches, 14 to 3 , and need only one full point to secure what would be their seventh straight victory. For Nick Prices squad to pull off the comeback, theyd need to take 11 points from a possible 12 in Sundays singles matches at Liberty National Golf Club.How big of a long shot would that be? According to Jeff Sherman, manager at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, it equates to roughly 15,000-to-1 odds. That figure is an estimate of the odds on a 12-team parlay including each match, and Sherman said the exact payout would be $14,193.67 on a $1 bet. But no such bet can be made; Sherman noted that his casino maxes out at an eight-leg parlay for actual wagers.

If you look closely at what the Task Force did after the 2014 matches it really came down to this: It recommended copying everything Europe had been doing for years in terms of selecting captains and vice-captains and took the selection of the captain out of the hands of the PGA President and put it into the hands of the players. All good.
