Leicester City overcame 5,000-1 odds to win the English Premier League, so surely lovable long shot and noted horrendous golfer Charles Barkley has a chance at this weeks American Century Championship celebrity tournament at Lake Tahoe, Nevada -- a 1 in 6,000 chance.Barkley is 6,000-1 to win the tournament, which tees off Friday at Edgewood Golf Course. Hes by far the biggest long shot in the field, with slightly worse odds than Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles and comedian Larry the Cable Guy, who are each 3,000-1.Barkley finished 90th out of 91 golfers at last years tournament, besting model Kim Alexis by two points and coming up just 178 points shy of champion Mark Mulder, the former major league pitcher.Barkley has finished last five times in his 20 appearances in the tournament. But a few risky folks believe this is his year, or, more likely, simply want a souvenir betting ticket on the NBA Hall of Famer. As of Thursday afternoon, 10 bets had been placed on Barkley to win the tournament at the sportsbook at Harveys casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.I think they use them to get autographs, Harveys sportsbook manager Dave Cudney said of the bets on Barkley.Cudney has been setting the odds for the celebrity tournament since the mid-1990s. He says the largest bets on the tournament have been in the $10,000 range, but most are small bets, especially the ones on Barkley, who didnt exactly ooze confidence about his game in a June press conference promoting the tournament.I would love to play great golf, but I think its probably not going to happen for me, man, Barkley said. But Im a little too old to be trying to take sports serious -- Im out there to relax and have a good time.Mulder and professional tennis player Mardy Fish are co-favorites at 3-1. Golden State point guard Stephen Curry (6-1) has attracted by far and away the most bets, Cudney said. Former MLB pitcher Eric Gagne (5-1) has attracted the most money as of Thursday.Currys teammate Andre Igoudala and Currys father, Dell Curry, are also in the field, each listed at 30-1.Doug Flutie Youth Jersey .

The humiliating defeat prompted Roy Hodgson to resign as coach.Having helped Sunderland avoid relegation from the Premier League last season the 61-year-old Allardyce quit the club to replace Hodgson, and he held his first news conference at St Georges Park on Monday.Asked if Rooney would be his captain, Allardyce said it was far too early to decide. He added that he first needs to meet with his players and staff before Englands qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup begins in September.England looked dispirited and disjointed against Iceland in a new low for the national team and the loss was met with scathing criticism back home. Englands Premier League stars were accused of being pampered and technically deficient at the highest level.Allardyce, a vastly experienced coach at club level with Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn Rovers and West Ham, has earned a reputation as a shrewd tactician but primarily as a great motivator.Although he reminded Englands players not to lose sight that playing for their countrry is as good as it gets, he urged them to relax more.ddddddddddddI think the bonding of the team is exceptionally important and trying to create a good team spirit (also is), he said. And have some fun, the game of football is to be enjoyed and Ive enjoyed my life in the game for many years.At club level, Allardyces sides threatened on the counter-attack with creativity mostly restricted to the final third of play, and he hinted that he will adapt Englands tactics with respect to the opposition, rather than imposing a certain playing style.Hodgsons attempts to turn England into a patient passing team were ruthlessly exposed at the 2014 World Cup -- where it finished bottom of its group -- and at Euro 2016. In both tournaments, England was found wanting in defense and lacked creativity.Choosing styles or systems depends on the players available and then who were playing, Allardyce said. My coaching technique is to try and give the players the opportunity to win a football match wherever they are playing, be it home or away. And to make them aware of the opposition, which may change the style of how we play.Englands first World Cup qualifier in Group F is away to Slovakia on Sept. 4. It will also face Scotland, Slovenia, Lithuania and Malta. ' ' '
