Title: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 08, 2014, 12:16:02 PM Thread sponsored by Adz and the Speithites
Sony Open in Waialae - in form Zach Johnson is a previous winner and the Volvo Championship in South Africa. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: tikay on January 08, 2014, 12:23:17 PM Great idea 2xUp. Could we not have it sponsored by BWin though? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on January 08, 2014, 06:32:29 PM Had a dabble on Tringale although his price of 460 on betty suggests that he is short of at least one limb.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Omm on January 08, 2014, 07:26:54 PM I was reading about Hideki Matsuyama this week and decide that he is my man for the Sony Open, by all accounts he is the Japanese Jordan Adz Doobs Spieth, now I haven't read the whole of the 2013 but I'm claiming this lad for all future wins this year, boom boom.
What do ya reckon Adz? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: rinswun on January 09, 2014, 08:34:36 AM Hideki withdrew with a wrist injury. He is insanely good though and available at long odds for most majors. If you're a Spieth backer you should be climbing on board the Matsuyama train too.
I took the 14s available with Sky on Monday evening for Z Johnson. Such a perfect fit and in incredible form. Also have interest in de Jonge, Leishman, Stuard, Huh and Castro.

I took the 14s available with Sky on Monday evening for Z Johnson. Such a perfect fit and in incredible form. Also have interest in de Jonge, Leishman, Stuard, Huh and Castro. Yeah, Johnson is certainly the man of the moment, was looking at his form especially towards the end of last year, very good. I just can't bring myself to back such short odds with such a big field (I know you could probably discount half or even 3/4s of the field) but it only takes one golfer to have a good 4 days and the tournaments in the bag. This year I'm really going to focus on finding bigger odds for guys that are coming into form, had a few touches last year on people like Nick Watney and Thomas Bjorn. Anyway good luck all, let's hope we can help each other to a profit. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 09, 2014, 10:16:44 AM The weather looks like slightly favouring the early starters today and tomorrow.

I'll stick to Stevenage, at least the ground is 5 min walk. Adz u make out like u don't read TFT.

Had man flu all week and not watched much golf, or studied much before hand. FWIW, I always have a few quid on S Africans in S Africa, and backed Charl as his putting has improved so much. Also did Donaldson, as he is my go to man when undecided. In Sony, even less thought, Jordy and English. Promise to work harder next week Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Omm on January 12, 2014, 01:32:40 PM I was reading about Harrington and what work he has been doing to get back to form. He certainly has put a good shift in at the Volvo and could be one to keep an eye on over the first half of the season. Be good if he could get back to form and if he might turn up at a big price as well.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: rinswun on January 12, 2014, 01:50:39 PM Same old story with Harrington though. You could pretty much write that same sentence for each of the last three years. Sadly, I think he's a spent force now. A real case of over thinking things. 3 majors in 2 years then blows it up and never gets close to that level again.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 15, 2014, 12:23:27 PM One of the multiple course pro-am jobs in the states tomorrow - does anyone know which course is the lowest scoring? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Kmac84 on January 15, 2014, 06:27:24 PM I posted a a blog article from a young guy I work alongside in TFT yesterday but DoubleUp pinged me a PM and said to post it in here.
I know very little about golf but like most bettors I have a punt every now and again at the big tournaments. Anyway the blog is here any feedback on it let me know and I'll pass it on. Been a bit of a lull in posts but he's given me 2 decent bets previously one was a winner the other I got a good sweat from. Seems ok to me, for someone who doesn't really gamble I like that he is in the habit of checking Bettyunfair. http://bobbysgolfblog.wordpress.com/ Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on January 15, 2014, 08:33:20 PM Not a great Rory fan, but had the £25max on Rory at 8s earlier
Also, done ma boy Donaldson(defending champ) and Grace in Dubai. Birdie fest in the US pro Am, and happy to rely on Sned. Rather boring but will be a bit more adventurous after I have some 12 hours shifts under my belt this weekend!!

Other interest on Palmer, Bae, Harman and Summerhays.

Def be interesting to see how it works out. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: rinswun on January 18, 2014, 11:46:41 PM Not very well this week!
This tournament is a joke. Its actually pretty dull to watch guys piling birdies in every single hole. Reed has as many birdies this week as he does birdies. It's basically pitch and putt! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 18, 2014, 11:51:55 PM The changes must be good long term tho - think I'll give him a couple of tourns then back him every one.

I've gone for George Coetzee, played ok last week in Abu Dhabi and 2nd last year in this tournament. I've gone for Coetzee too, despite his inability to finish the job. Also done Grace and a Banzai on Hoey who seems to play well here and should give a good show at a big price. Was desperate to see Victor Dub play in Doha as he has a good course record and seems to have improved markedly in the last 12 months, but he is playing in US. At 100s plus, i had to have a shilling or too on him. Hunter tends to do well early doors and gets a small ew, and TFT fav Jordy back to 40-1 with SJ, defo in the staking plan. GL Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on January 21, 2014, 06:56:11 PM In this week's Pure Silk Pyjamas LPGA tourney I like Lizette Salas EW @ 66/1.
Also dabbled on Sterne in Dubai @ 95 and had a few shillings on Parry @ 600. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Omm on January 21, 2014, 08:26:49 PM Delaet
Spieth Mickelson Win Only Matsuyama Haas Watney Horschel A Quiros J Quesne E Els Didn't have time to have a proper look but I like an interest in the golf so have spread the love around a few, Couple that have done well for me recently and a few speculative also added in a few small each way doubles and trebles. Main bets this week are Els and Mickleson and because Adz put him up in TFT I've done Hoey as well, couldn't handle having 100-1 winner and not be on it. Also got an email from Coral for a free £10 in play bet if a place £10 on the outright market, put this on Quiros and will look at the final day t place the £10 in play. Good luck all.

I just don't get it. I have taken the plunge and layed him for top 5 and top 10. Just on instinct. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: rinswun on January 22, 2014, 08:16:45 AM I'm on Snedeker, Mahan, DeLaet, Crane and Van Aswegen this week.

I'm not so sure and would obviously bow to the golfers on this one but I remember when he broke through he was all the rage. I compare him to Simon Donnelly, who when he scored a brace for Celtic in his first game he was compared to the legend that is Kenny Dalgleish. We know how their respective careers went.

Obv a disappointing player in recent years but I think he must be a bit of value at 20-1 if this round is a signal of a return to form. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on January 24, 2014, 06:33:31 PM Lizzie Salas shot a 67(-6) today to get right back into the silk pyjamas mix.

Anyway your right of course probably no need to post the bet but I did only place it 2 mins before hand. A proper after time would be to tell you that I back Garcia yesterday at 14-1 and didn't green out in the play off but I won't mention that ssshhhhhhh.

More than a squeak old chap. 1 behind going into the final round. GL GL Yes my little squeak has developed into a full-fledged sweat. Lizzie must have every chance of getting her first win but I have a great deal of respect for her final round partner and tournament leader Na Yuen Choi who despite her slender frame and tiny stature has an exquisite swing and possibly the most complete game of all the players currently on the LPGA tour. Ishikawa is only three shots behind at Torrey Pines too and I have a rather speculative 170 cockles riding on him for the parallel sweat. January has been pretty good for me so far but tonight could be epochal. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 27, 2014, 12:11:21 AM ul ralph
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on January 27, 2014, 01:35:43 AM Lizzie was looking very good at -4 for her first eight holes today.
A mid-round wobble of three bogeys in her next four holes (having gone 40+holes bogey-free) put paid to any aspirations of a win but a gutsy 8-foot birdie putt at the last managed to salvage place money.

Looking at the last few years it seems this is another course where leaders can lose the plot and low rounds can make up a lot of places, so I might be looking for a couple of Banzais on the last day. added ryan palmer for 1st round leader at 40-1 with stan james - this bet would have paid out 2 of the last 3 years and palmer also for outright win ew Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 29, 2014, 08:31:49 PM Added Hunter Mahan for 1st rounde leader - the conditions look better in the morning wind wise Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 29, 2014, 08:32:09 PM Added Hunter Mahan for 1st round leader - the conditions look better in the morning wind wise Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on January 29, 2014, 08:43:02 PM Quite like Craig Lee first round leader in Dubai.

Sorry if this is spammy, but Stu Barnett (honeybadger) + various business partners have created this site https://www.stakesandladders.com/ - its like a pool-betting site (betfair concept) and i think it's going to be really fun for golf!!! Stu has set me up a "private lil day golf pool" for this weekends Pebble Beach Pro-Am event and me and quite a few of my mates are gonna play, if any of you guys wanna join it too then its £100 to enter and just PM me your user name once you've signed up and you're in!! FYI - this should be joke +EV for any of you who are shrewd about golf as we're all fairly hopeless :D fun sweat though :P Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on February 05, 2014, 03:41:32 PM More multi-course pro-am pish in the US, maybe have a look on Sunday.
In the joburg open have laid Charl in the top 5 market - think he is just a bit short as he was looking well out of form in the small field event at the turn of the year and hasn't played since. Think he's the kind of player that gets disheartened if he's not right in the hunt, so might even back him to miss the top ten if the market is liquid enough.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on February 06, 2014, 04:26:11 PM Yes. Couldn't work out why he was so big to start with having gone to back him.

First Craig Lee first round leader after suggesting him last week and Coetzee finally winning after backing him in his last event too. ;grr; Starting to lose faith in Jordy too, seems to use "moving day" to move in the wrong direction.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Omm on February 09, 2014, 08:09:00 PM I've backed Harris English @ 100-1 for the Master (110 on betfair for a couple of quid) I like him, think he will do well and 100-1 seems big to me. My portfolio now looks like this
Zach Johnson, Jordan Speith, Ian Poulter and Harris English. Thinking of adding Pat Perez who seems to be playing solid. Any others? Edit is Zach not Dustin ( should really back him now!) and took the 110 on bf for a few quid. Edit I'd have to be lucky to win the masters with a guy that's not in it ie Perez!

Couldn't stay up to see all the golf, wish I had now, with one shot in it I could have cashed out! wasn't looking at the market but I doubt there would have been opportunity for much of a profit. He only needed a par at the reachable par 5 last to win and even messing it up a bit, still had a putt that he would hole more often than not to win (and if he missed, a playoff with Dustin Choker). Having said that I'm sure lays like yours are profitable on tough courses like Pebble where it is difficult to play conservatively and doubles are as easy to get as birdies when going for it.

As Gallacher missed a 6-7 foot putt on 17 to lose the hole and send the match all square 365 where still pricing the match at Els 3/1, Gallacher 1/4!!!! This is a huge mistake right????

Tempted to take a small profit and a decent freeroll by laying @ 8 as he has a very tough match against Jason Day tomorrow. Going to sleep on it.

It is seriously revamped though Stu. not tinkered with. They've basically put a new golf course down on the same piece of land having demolished the old one including the greens which were all new last year too, so previous course form really counts for now't. Having said that Tiger was very impressive here last year although he does seem a shadow of that player thus far in the season, bad back last week too. I did have a longing look at that 16/1 before passing, probs. bolt up now. Small dabbles at big prices on Horschel @150, and Oosthuizen @130 so far.

He's had a chronic bad back since he was a junior and has a specialist with him at all times so I think the big price is a bit of an over-reaction to his final round the week before last at the match-play tourney.

They have changed the tee times and it looks like the earlier tee-offs have a slight advantage with the wind picking up as the day goes on. Pat Perez is leading and off early, so I've put a bit on him, though he's not the greatest at finishing the job. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on March 28, 2014, 01:59:04 PM sigh overtaken AND they were showing the first day tee-offs, so Perez is off in the afternoon...

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on April 08, 2014, 12:11:05 AM Generally I like early but best to wait until you can get the weather forecast http://uk.weather.com/weather/today/USGA0032:1:US and see if there is going to be a difference in wind conditions. One quirk of major tournaments is when the tv coverage starts. If late players can watch others on the greens, that must be an advantage imo - assuming that the weather is neutral.

Can anyone give me some information before i set fire to my money Using the horses for courses theory, a better case might be made for Lee Westwood, despite his indifferent form so far this season. There were some encouraging signs that swing changes brought in by new coach Mike Walker are finally starting to bed in. "I'm making progress," Westwood said. "I'm starting to feel better things in my swing and see better shots. Occasionally I'm hitting poor shots, but everyone does. It just seems I'm being a bit severely punished for my bad ones, but then again I'm biased." Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on April 09, 2014, 08:48:41 AM I like Westwood this week. He is showing signs of another revival and Has got zero pressure on him this week.
The Masters has a rich history of being the Major that the nearly men do very well in. Those guys that have been so close before, regular winners, who just can't and don't seem likely to win a Major, breakthrough. Off the top of my head, Fuzzy, Ollie, Woosie, Crenshaw, Charl, Bubba, even Freddie. One of these days the field will crumble around him, more than he crumbles!

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: redarmi on April 16, 2014, 06:02:25 AM I quite fancy Russell Henley this week. I notice he has been put up by Steve Palmer who is an okay judge and he feels to me like he should be a 25/1 shot. Quite a few at the front of the market (Spieth, Kuch, Furyk etc) will surely be suffering from a bit of a Masters hangover whilst Henley will have taken heart from his Augusta performance without it ever really quickening his pulse. He came 9th here last year at his first attempt on the course and you would think that he will have come on from that and he is from Georgia and lives in SC where the tourney is held so you would imagine he might have played a few practise rounds there and will be fairly comfortable and probably most importantly he knows how to win and seems to handle that pressure well. I think he is a cracking good bet at the 40/1. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on April 16, 2014, 10:37:23 AM ^^^
I'm a big fan of his game, he was one of my big-priced picks last week but never quite got into the thick of things after being just about in touch after the second round. The trouble is that once either Palmer or Chapman put one up the price collapses and it seems that the value has usually gone. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on April 16, 2014, 11:18:51 AM It looks like it will be windy at Hilton Head and wet as well on Friday.

In the meantime I have fired my usual quiver at 1st round leader: Hoffmann, Gallacher, Cink, Haas and Horschel. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on April 17, 2014, 12:25:08 PM Added Streelman for 1st round and outright. He seems to do ok in tough conditions.

Ernie Els had an 80 and was in 136th in the Birkdale open in 2008 and finished 7th, but tough conditions again may have aided his comeback.

I bottled out and laid him off as I thought they were going to suspend play but they didn't. Chompy (who else) put it up as a trade Is Oosthuizen not the safest trade of all time at 6.2? Play suspended at the moment for strong winds. When they resume it's obv still gonna be blowing hard and scores are gonna go nuts. There's no way in a million years Oosty will drift by the end of the day.

Absolutely no doubt in my mind that he is a bit special and will certainly go on to win many tournaments and probably break a lot of records, time is certainly on his side and I hope he does. At the moment he is abit like Phil Mickleson, was coming second in quite a lot of major tournaments no so long ago then something clicked and he started winning the big ones (given there's a bit of an age gap). Let's hope his not like Colin Montgomerie (sorry for the comparison if your reading this Jordan ;-)) of course I say that in jest. But the facts can be seen in many different ways, 6 top tens this year and no wins, 15 top tens in career and 1 win. I'm sure with that many top ten finishes even he would have expected to win a few more. (Maybe I'm being abit harsh on this bit, no sure) also as you point out he didn't have a bogey until the last round, but then he had 5, it's not the first time that has happened, but what it is making it do is bring him squarely into the realm of the bookie whom are making sure they cut his price at the first opportunity. I'm would not be so happy backing him at sub 25-1 at the moment. That's just me and I'm sure the people who know more about golf will come along and say that he is value. Anyway it will all be alright, I'm sure a few of us have got a ticket or two for 100-1 somewhere........ Win Jordan win ;first; Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 12, 2014, 10:26:13 AM I'd need to see how he handles a links course before diving in @ 40/1 for The Open however 100/1 which I believe Fred is on at looks good.
Great talent with no apparent weakness in his game. I wouldn't be too worried about him not being able to out-duel a resurgent Kaymer, playing his best golf in years, down the stretch. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on May 12, 2014, 10:57:29 AM I had my usual wedge on Jordy going down the stretch and spoke to bobby1 yesterday morning. I suggested that he was similar to a thoroughbred racehorse cruising to the front when in the pack but not quite experienced enough to know what to do when he gets there. Bobby1 had only just had a similar discussion with a colleague. At this point I had pretty much a super book with all bases covered. Strangely enough despite my comments on TFT after round one, Kaymer was the only outcome that only saw me come out level, everyone else in the hunt was a winner, and Jordy was a big winner.
I adjusted my book accordingly, but still left Kaymer as a no win/lose play as I felt I had missed my own boat. The whole thing played out as above with usual worst case scenario happening. Ho hum. I am quite happy that Jordy will still come good as he becomes accustomed to the heat of the final day. My big concern and probably the reason he hasn't closed one out is his inexperienced bag man. He is probably great first few days, encouraging the lad to show his stuff, and go for stuff, but neither have any last day pedigree and I overheard the caddy recommend some patently bad options for Jordy last night, which cost him momentum, ie high floaty stuff that needed to land on a coin rather than safety first, bump and run shots. Going for a par five rather than lay up etc. I'm sure they will work it out, but for now I fear my punting will continue with big plays on Mr Speith and being prepared to press the lay button on Sunday in order to make it keep paying. As Omm said the bench mark was 33s, it now down to 25s, and if he starts lower, just wait for the 25s at some point early doors as he is rarely an out of the blocks merchant.

I just read that they played out the Madeira Open even though a caddie died on the 9th fairway!. Amazing greed these days. Ahh yes, this is a golf thread. I get carried away. That tragic death yesterday & how they handled it is beyond disgraceful. Had it been a Golfer in the Tourney, of course, they'd have cancelled the thing there & then, with oodles of media crocodile tears. Sponsors, TV, bla bla. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 14, 2014, 11:24:47 PM Speith a silly price this week imo especially when he has generally followed a good performance with a mediocre one and also didn't play well over c & d last year. Anyway my first round leader picks are Keegan B and Ryan Palmer. also whats happened to the 6 places this week? Odd that all 3 bookies not playing - monopoly commission enquiry please! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 17, 2014, 12:30:10 PM Gone for Brendon Todd in the Byron N. Yes he is a journeyman, but he is having his best ever season. I had a look at the past performance of second round leaders at the venue and they do really well: 4 wins, 5 2nds 1 3rd 4 others. I def think there is value in the 8-1 (shybet miniscule extra value with the 9-1 1/5 odds). Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 17, 2014, 12:37:57 PM I had a small EW on Huh(what?) @ 80/1 pre-event which I forgot to mention on Thursday as I was busy hacking it all over the place myself that afternoon with a giant Scotsman who relieved me of my hard-earned pretty effortlessly.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on May 17, 2014, 12:41:09 PM I didnt back Jordy pre event for the first time since whenever.
However I did back him at 33s when he was even par early doors. He starts so slowly I think this may well be the new way to extract value from him. He's into 18s and I expect a good round today and then get the 3-1 lay in at some stage.! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 17, 2014, 11:25:30 PM My girl Lizzie Salas is currently killing it after missing cuts for weeks on end.

I only remembered just now, so had a look and it appears that Pepperrell was cruising at 5 under after 2. Only to ping a nice 7 over today, to leave him way down the field...

As a cigar afficionado myself I appreciate the fact hat he's fired up a Cohiba when accepting the trophy, and I'm sure he'll be drinking a bottle or two of something else I approve of tonight, and then there's that rather fetching young senorita he's about to wed.. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: horseplayer on May 18, 2014, 09:03:55 PM Yes

Jordan played well here last year but also too short for me. Seems like its going to be a little bit of wind - slightly more in the afternoon , a few I fancied for first round leader were off in the afternoon so giving them a pass as well. So just sticking with the (so far hopeless) plan of backing Rickie F on courses where he has played well. Also putting him in as 1rl as he has an early start.

Imagine you were on Lowry at 170 and had a good ew bet in the top Irish market at 9/1 too. Running second was painful enough without running 2nd to an Irish guy tho there was a bit of top 5 at 34 too to soften the blow. At least I got to play with the 170 thru the event but Rory was my worst result going into the last round so anyone bar him getting into serious contention would have done. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on May 27, 2014, 07:09:10 AM Well, you could follow the sage like advice you have been given by your inspired self, and then go and watch the bugger live get himself in contention and then blow it.
Wonderful tipping mate and v v v ul. As I said as start of week though, look how much better we all do when not weighed down with women! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: bobby1 on May 27, 2014, 10:40:45 AM You were right mate, seems strange but might have to add becoming single just before a comp as a positive mental boost.
Lowry shot 8 under in two rounds of US Open qualifying yesterday to win the Walton Heath qualifier too so he's had some week. Was nice to see Monty finally win a big event in the US too wasn't it. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: kpnuts on May 27, 2014, 10:45:30 AM You were right mate, seems strange but might have to add becoming single just before a comp as a positive mental boost. Lowry shot 8 under in two rounds of US Open qualifying yesterday to win the Walton Heath qualifier too so he's had some week. Was nice to see Monty finally win a big event in the US too wasn't it. Nice only in that it might encourage him to play more US seniors events, thus rendering himself unavailable for as many weekends of TV punditry/Ryder Cup reminiscing as possible. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: bobby1 on May 27, 2014, 10:52:57 AM Lol, he's deffo a pain in the comms box isn't he tho did you see Tony Jacklin covering the Wentworth event on Sky?
That was beyond painful. Looks like Nick Dougherty has landed on his feet as a studio analyst in there now and I've been really impressed by his first few appearances and would expect him to get more work. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 27, 2014, 11:01:17 AM Nick Dougherty is pretty good, but it would be nice if he could say "always".
Jacklin is terrible, he even makes Monty look good. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: bobby1 on May 27, 2014, 11:12:53 AM One thing I liked about Dougherty on Sunday Ralph was when Sky try to make everything sound closer or more exciting than it is and Toms needed to birdie the last few holes to make the play off Rob Lee is going ' I fancy he has a chance to make it a three man play off, you can't turn away coz as we've seen before anything can happen in golf etc etc' Just trying to stop people turning over as they were waiting for the play off to start. Dougherty just said ' he's got no chance, he is hitting it short and crooked off the tee, struggling with his irons and will need to putt better than he has on the last few holes, just can't see it I'm afraid'
Lee then spent another 2 mins talking about players that have holed shots from the FW to win events before just for the sake of trying to make it interesting. Better to just commentate on what's happening IMO than try to make something that was basically waiting 30 mins for the play off to start sound exciting. If he continues to do that he could be a real find tho it might just be he hasn't quite got the nuances of talking bollox to make everything sound exiting bit yet. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 27, 2014, 11:34:37 AM Nick seems to have used an interesting tactic to get the gig though Phil.
Marry the presenter, get her pregnant, then while she's busy at home with the new baby go and do her job for her. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: bobby1 on May 27, 2014, 11:52:33 AM Yes it's not a well worn path to Sky punditry is it. All that extra work on his home game seems to have affected his golf game tho the if I had to choose between Di Stewart and talking about golf or hitting it round a field in approaching 80 most weeks I would be saving my energy and fine tuning my short game at home.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 30, 2014, 12:24:41 PM Not sure he's the greatest each-way bet as he is very mercurial. If I was having a go I would try to get 200+ on Betfair and lay off a bit in play if he was in the hunt in the last few holes. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 30, 2014, 02:56:41 PM Some of us managed to get on him @ 450 and there was plenty of 400 in The Player's Championship just gone.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on June 01, 2014, 10:42:17 PM Hahaha my lady godiva on Kevin the nutcase Na @ 60 might get me away with a profit this weekend after all of the others have imploded.
I know ;bigadz; but can prove it if necessary. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: bobby1 on June 01, 2014, 11:01:26 PM good luck Ralph, I can't get onto BF as on hols but anyone(double maybe) know the biggest price Jaidee and Na traded on BF?

I had a look at Jaidee and he was around 75 at the start today, obv didn't bother. Meanwhile Matsuyama has amost stiffed it on the last hole for a playoff.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on June 01, 2014, 11:16:58 PM Interestingly Matsuyama carved his drive on the 18th and smacked his driver down in disgust afterwards, not particularly violently actually, and the head fell off.
He subsequently made birdie(the fecker) and is now in a playoff with Na, and Bubba too, if he can also birdie 18, but I'm not sure if he can bring in a new driver into play. Playoff now and I missed laying Na @1.13. Go Nananana.

Seems like a course that can cause the leaders to blowout - wish that the 5 places market on betfair was a lot more liquid as I'm sure that laying the 1st and second day leaders would be profitable as they seem to win or completely crash.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on June 18, 2014, 01:10:14 AM Irish open up next, I'm thinking of laying Rory at 6.4 with the intention of backing him after the first or second round, my reasoning is that I think he has been finishing comps stronger than starting. Someone tell me I'm being an idiot? It's not a strategy that I would consider as the downside seems far greater and more likely than the upside, however I do have a penchant for longshots. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on June 18, 2014, 10:32:13 AM Omm, the thing I don't like about these back/lay lay/back bets is that you have to be very precise about what you want to achieve with them. Do you have a price in mind to back? Are you going to cut your losses if he has an ok first round? Also I'm not sure that there is any evidence that his first rounds are poor - it seems to be his second round that is more likely to be poor on recent performance (but that might just be variance). Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Omm on June 18, 2014, 11:07:53 AM Thanks guys, after sleeping on it I've decided not to get involved, too much can go wrong.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on June 19, 2014, 12:19:43 AM I'm fairly keen on Danny Willett's chances this week at Fota Island, also like Oosthuizen stateside and thrown a couple of darts at LizzieS and Pressell at a huge price in the ladies' US Open which will have the added interest of being played on the same course as the men's last week.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Ironside on July 03, 2014, 08:49:41 PM Surely there is absolutely zero chanc of Poults not getting a pick even if he does not qualify for the RC by right. if the quailfying period ended today who would you pick if you was captain as your picks its 4 picks now poulter would easy be the number 1 pick as he is just outside on both lists and his record westwood and mcdowel would be struggling to make it with gallacher jimeniz luiten and molinaria all ahead in both lists and with only 1 rookie in the 8 in spots got to think all 4 of them would be ahead of the vetrans i would like to find odds somewhere for making the rider cup team because i would be laying westwood and mcdowel unless they have a very good next few weeks Cannot ever see Westwood and Gmac not getting 2 of these 4 picks if they don't make it thru qualifying. Of course everything has a price but i would want a very large one or either of these guys being omitted. taking this over from TfT now i dont post much on golf but follow it avidly i played it from age of 11/12 till i ended in chair during the summer holidays at school we could end up playing 4 rounds a day after getting dropped of at the course before my dad started his work and picked up after my parents finished there round. I was spoilt for choice of golf courses living where i live, my folks used got loch lomond and the open every year up untill recently. ryder cup has always excited me more than any major and i follow the progress of qualification and this year is exciting with paul having 3 picks at present the following are in prime spots euro Victor DUBUISSON 2,477,746.88 Henrik STENSON 2,366,878.96 Jamie DONALDSON 2,279,461.25 Thomas BJORN 2,264,081.94 world wide Sergio GARCIA 267.40 Rory MCILROY 253.19 Martin KAYMER 240.77 Justin ROSE 203.73 Luke DONALD 156.78 so this leave the 3 picks cant see anyone other than poulter getting the first pick he is top player not in squad in both the world points and euro points so only leaves 2 places can you give them to westwood and mcdowell or do any of the other players have a shout obviously there is still a few months of scoring to come including the open for everything to change Ian POULTER 1,905,382.94 Joost LUITEN 1,515,908.28 Miguel Angel JIMENEZ 1,504,340.81 Stephen GALLACHER 1,264,312.68 Gonzalo FDEZ-CASTANO 1,263,986.94 Francesco MOLINARI 1,263,370.91 ..................................... Lee WESTWOOD 1,000,859.32 Graeme MCDOWELL 881,140.15 Ian POULTER 147.43 Miguel Angel JIMENEZ 138.66 Stephen GALLACHER 131.15 Francesco MOLINARI 122.80 Joost LUITEN 119.96 Lee WESTWOOD 106.57 Graeme MCDOWELL 100.93 edit with 3 rookies in the euro list that would IMHO rule out adding a rookie as a captains pick Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: TightEnd on July 03, 2014, 09:02:56 PM Would be hugely surprised if it was not Poulter, McDowell and Westwood if the 9 qualifiers were as they are currently
Poulter's record speaks to itself GMac's partnership with Rory a consistent one in ryder cup, and he is a major winner Westwood really good in foursomes, and matchplay in ngeneral McGinley will be really hoping at least 1 of the 3 gets in by right to possibly give him more flexibility on wild cards Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Ironside on July 03, 2014, 09:23:03 PM ok i am confusing myself here
i thought i had seen stenson playing ryder cup but having checked last 2 he was missing from team but that cause it was 2006 and 2008 he played also thought donaldson had played before but checked cant find him my mind playing tricks on me of the rookies in the above list luiten is the only one really young enough to be considered for future so i am starting to think if the list stayed same (which it shouldnt) then the big 3 names will get in and jimeniz will be given a role as a VC Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: bobby1 on July 03, 2014, 09:44:40 PM Would be hugely surprised if it was not Poulter, McDowell and Westwood if the 9 qualifiers were as they are currently Poulter's record speaks to itself GMac's partnership with Rory a consistent one in ryder cup, and he is a major winner Westwood really good in foursomes, and matchplay in ngeneral McGinley will be really hoping at least 1 of the 3 gets in by right to possibly give him more flexibility on wild cards That Gmac and Rory pairing might have some potential holes in it at the moment as Rory is preparing a court case to be heard next year and is suing the management company that Gmac got him to sign up with. One of the claims is that Rory was told he would be on the same rates as Gmac and now finds out Gmac has a better deal than he does and that Gmac, as a shareholder would have known this. He says he is trying not to involve Gmac in the court case but there have been some suspicious timings on the information that has come out about the case. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/rory-mcilroy/10925118/Rory-McIlroys-court-battle-with-Horizon-Sports-could-threaten-partnership-with-Graeme-McDowell-at-Ryder-Cup.html The good thing for Poulter re the Ryder cup is he does shape his season around peeking thru the summer and into the back end of the year. He has time to get himself in the mix but if Gmac, Westy and Poulter miss out and stay in the same form they are in at the moment then it might be hard to pick all three tho Gmac has had his wedding to concentrate on so probably gets a little leeway. Never has the word Gmac been used so many times in so few words. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on July 03, 2014, 09:54:58 PM Think Poulter is a cert as long unless his form is very bad in the lead up to selection. Can't see him leaving out GMac also barring obvious poor form as he hasn't been playing that badly, just a bit off.
The interesting one is Westwood - he had a brief return to form earlier in the year but overall his game appears to be in decline. Stephen Gallagher is prob playing a bit better than Westwood and all things being equal would be a better pick imo as the event is in Scotland and they will need someone to translate...... Seriously though I don't think that McGinley would be that unhappy if Gallagher knocked in a good performance in one of the majors and played himself in.

I just had the same thoughts as you re Westy on TFT too. Can you imagine the Scots trying to have a conversation with Jiminez ;o) Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Ironside on July 03, 2014, 10:10:02 PM only problem i have with gallagher is his age if he was 28/29 then picking him as a rookie would have merit but if i am not mistaken he is approaching 40 so will be likely his only ryder cup so more than likely if he doesnt play his way in i cant see him getting picked despite the scottish link
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on July 09, 2014, 11:24:33 AM I like a couple of guys for The Scottish Open who appear to be coming back to something approaching their best in recent weeks, both of whom also have top-class form on links courses.
Robert Karlsson and Chris Wood. Should be some good golf on a great course, a perfect aperitif for next week. GL Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on July 09, 2014, 05:47:17 PM Spent a bit of time looking at the Scottish, but can't work out who will come out on top on what looks like a very bad hair day. In the US gone for Brendon DeJonge Chad Campbell and Jeff Overton ew for 1stRL. Overton and Campbell top ten and Campbell FTW. Seems quite difficult for the 2nd round leader to win at TPC Deere Run, Stricker being the only one who has managed it in the last ten years along with his two other wins. So I might have a look and see who is lurking in the pack on Saturday. GL all!

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on July 15, 2014, 10:06:19 AM Open Golf - loads going 8 and 7 places now! Seems to me that there will be a slight weather advantage for Thursday morning/Friday Afternoon players. The conditions seem much the same in terms of wind speed most of Thursday but there is a change in wind direction. It shouldn't make a huge difference as the winds are forecast to be light all day. On Friday the wind seems to favour afternoon starters but they will have a bit of rain to contend with. Might not be too bad though, even slowing the greens a bit. So at the moment I'm thinking of going for Thu morning players as 1stRL and outright but waiting till tomorrow to finally decide. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on July 15, 2014, 10:12:59 AM From my early weather research it looks as though the very earliest and latest groups on Friday might get the slightly better conditions with the middle of the day looking tougher.
Certainly Thursday looks fairly even currently. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on July 16, 2014, 12:54:20 PM So my opening salvo is 1stRL Dustin, Freddie Jac, Rickie, Ryan Moore, Hunter M. Backed Miguel J before draw/weather, as the 100-1, 6 places was too good - at least I've got a bit of value, but would've much preferred morning. FTW Dustin, Rickie, Sergio, GMac, and a bit on Hunter M on BFX. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Omm on July 16, 2014, 12:59:07 PM Brendon Todd 110-1 365 7 places , 130.0 on Betfair win, 25.0 top 5 betfair.
His results this year are his best and seems like he is on form, Ranked 9th in FedEx Points and 41st in World. Has Made cut 19/22 this year with a win, 7 top tens and 11 top 25's. Pretty consistent this year and seems to have hit form n the last 6 tournaments including a win and 17th in the US Open. Maybe not the best tee times as he is out 12:30 Thursday and then again Friday morning, looking at Doubleup's posts that may not be the best of the weather although Karabiner thinks early Friday morning might be ok and Todd goes at 7:31 on Friday morning. Obviously not saying anything that people can't find out for themselves but I ran a couple of predictors using golf betting systems euro pga predictor and amongst others his name popped up a couple of times. Thoughts? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on July 16, 2014, 01:11:53 PM As I said in TfT - its hard to find a bad bet in the EW market.

Dabbles on English and Horschel, with Willett EW my top fancy. I do like Fowler a lot, he's been a strong fancy for a while but the price contracted drastically as I was next in line to get matched @ 60 so may get on IR.

Cant resist checking a little ew on the mighty Aussie, Master Scott, at 80s 1,2,3 just in case he gets things going. As long as Bernd doesn't win most other eventualities are ok.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on August 11, 2014, 06:54:36 PM I just about got out of it on the week by betting on Rory @ 2.06 on betty.

Didn't he just :D Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on August 13, 2014, 01:38:38 PM Back to humble fare for a week before the big guns return for the play-offs. Doesn't seem to be much in the way of draw bias, but likely to be slightly better morning conditions, so I've gone for the rejuvenated Tim Clark as 1stRL. Also had a bit on Ernie (even though he tees off in the afternoon), as his 1stRL odds of 40-1 seemed too long in relation to his win odds of 25-1. FTW I'm on Clark again and Webb Simpson. Simpson plays the course well and his best performances this year have been in second tier events. Also had a go with the enigmatic Charles Howell EW and top ten and finally Byrd top ten. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on August 14, 2014, 10:35:35 AM Had a dabble on Eun-Hi Jee in the final ladies' major of the season @ 100/1 ew.
Small interests in Horschel and Baddeley in The Wyndham. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on August 20, 2014, 05:58:53 PM Had a go with Schwartzel at 50s for Play off Round 1. He has been playing well except for his tendency to completely lose the plot for a few holes in every tournament. Also gone for him as 1stRL as he has a nice early start. Couldn't resist 10-1 about Kaymer top ten - I know he has lost form since his Pinehurst win, but 10-1 seems too big for a season's major winner. Also went in at Streelman at the same price - he has top 5 finishes both times the play-offs have started at this course. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Nico29 on August 20, 2014, 06:34:14 PM Had a go with Schwartzel at 50s for Play off Round 1.

Not sure I could get this thru on tft but Kev Streelman's grandparent's are buried near the 7th hole and his family live there. He hasn't been in much form but obviously gets inspired around here. Might not get the best of the forecast tho but he is 100/1 fixed odds and 130 win only on BF. Q. What is it about this place?? KEVIN STREELMAN: It's pretty special to me. My family roots are here. My grandparents are buried right off No. 7 there. And it's home for my parents. So it's just -- it's a special, it's like a special home for me, special place. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on August 20, 2014, 07:34:31 PM Sorry, have to ask, what does play off round 1 mean? The Fedex play-offs are the climax of the US season - the top 125 get in this week then I think 100 next week, 70? the week after and finally 30 for a zillion dollars. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: DropTheHammer on August 20, 2014, 08:43:58 PM If anyone fancies Rickie Fowler for The Barclays this w/e the 25/1 at Corals won't last long - he's 23 at one other then down to 21s.

Yeah, he had a wobbler the last 5 yesterday, but he's been so solid lately, he must be due to close one out. Hopefully Rory can regress to his form during rounds 1 and 2 today! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: horseplayer on September 01, 2014, 06:34:46 PM Why is Henley the same price as Day?
Day seems to have a habit of not being particularly great in contention and finishing placed. Henley has won twice on tour and has a good in contention record. Strange with a two shot lead, have had a small bet on Henley gd lk all Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: typhoon13 on September 03, 2014, 10:00:17 AM Think Justin looks good value ew this week @20s Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: TightEnd on September 03, 2014, 11:15:20 AM you are playing a golf two club competition. you are a poor standard, so is everyone else, similar handicaps
18 holes, matchplay you win the toss, you get the choice of Hybrid and pitching wedge OR putter and 7 iron which do you choose? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: moonandback on September 03, 2014, 11:34:34 AM Hybrid and 9 iron or similar choosing a putter is a total waste easy enough to put with a short iron
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on September 03, 2014, 12:23:40 PM def putt with the hybrid not a short iron
So hybrid/wedge for me. just tried putting with the hybrid by using as a belly putter (tuck the end of the butt into stomach and turn) it is really easy. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: baldock92 on September 03, 2014, 02:01:52 PM Putter with 6-7 iron

Hopefully he can keep an eleven off the card. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on September 10, 2014, 11:33:13 AM I've had a go with Kaymer as first time on the course doesn't seem to be a great hindrance and Rose as he seems to plays the course well. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on September 14, 2014, 11:09:34 PM I've been on Horschel the majority of weeks for the last year.
Three guesses as to whether I've been on these last few. I wonder if Tom Watson feels worse having neither Billy or Chris Kirk on his RC team. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: buzzharvey22 on September 14, 2014, 11:57:41 PM Cant remember a ryder cup in my memory where both teams have so many out of form players playing
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on September 21, 2014, 01:24:49 AM Been doing some work on Ryder Cup and biggest surprise was that Tom Watson only played in 4 Cups.
Would it suggest that it wasn't that high up in his priorities?

Would it suggest that it wasn't that high up in his priorities? but he won 7 or 8 majors??? eh, that doesn't make any sense. I personally think he will have been the best person to captain Tiger out of all the previous the captains. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on September 21, 2014, 11:41:59 AM Been doing some work on Ryder Cup and biggest surprise was that Tom Watson only played in 4 Cups. Would it suggest that it wasn't that high up in his priorities? He had a severe dip in form after coming second in the 1984 Open Championship, not winning a tournament for over three years. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on September 21, 2014, 01:13:21 PM Still only 8 years though.
I notice even Howard Clark played in 6! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on September 22, 2014, 09:25:06 PM Tom Watson was picked for another team but withdrew cos his wife was expecting. Anyway I've had a punt on US to win the Day one foursomes at 6-1 I also went for Kaymer as top scorer. He's had two huge wins this year and holed last years winning putt, I can't see him playing less than 4 matches. From interviews he seemed to be "just playing" that huge stretch in the US and hopefully will have had a bit of a rest and be fully motivated. One thing - I went for him each way just because 4 places 1/4 can't be bad and I think he will be one of the anchors, but what do you think about the rookies like VD - I'd be inclined to go win only as they will prob have to win their first match to get fully used, so a bit like a good horse coming back from injury could be first or last but prob not second.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on October 01, 2014, 05:57:52 PM Its odd how much more his odds have moved on Betfair than the books.

Paddy were 250-1, winner 300-1. Wonder if they will try to palp? Pretty disgraceful if they do. I am sure they wouldnt let me cancel a bet because x source said a player was out and I had a bet on the back of it or because I saw a box score that said a team had won a game and hadn't. Surely it is up to them to have acurate data? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on October 02, 2014, 06:13:45 PM You would think so. I just heard about it too late. Apparently Sky were showing him at -2 and the official score board +3.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on October 13, 2014, 11:16:20 PM As you all know I don't use stats responsibly at all. I've been doing the "strokes gained on the field" thing for a while and its now a very popular stat and being broken down into various aspects of play. I'd be grateful for some feedback on this http://sportspreadsheet.com/Summerlin_2014.html It's basically how this week's competitors have performed on the course since 2008. The thing I'm trying to work out is the best way to assess performances that is actually of use from a betting perspective. The table is ranked by the % of better than average performance, by which Charles Howell is a God, but from a betting perspective he might be at best quits with one place payout in five attempts. I'm thinking it might be better to call a "good" performance at least one stroke better than average in the first two rounds and a half stroke better in the last two? Anyway Spencer Levin has a great record and played ok last week so he seems like a stand out at 150-1 with bet leapyear-1 Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on October 15, 2014, 07:42:34 PM Updated http://sportspreadsheet.com/This_weeks_Tournament.html Changed the definition of a "good" round to 1.5 strokes better than average on first two rounds and and .75 strokes in the second round. Also added the recent performance of the field on the same basis.

I've gone for the back in form Thorbjorn Oleson @110. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on November 05, 2014, 11:36:11 AM Jason Dufner seems to be playing ok returning from injury. 7.5-1 seems like a bit of value for top ten in the short field.

Three speculative cornettos for funking purposes as I just can't resist. Sang-moon Bae, Dr Noh, and Brian Harman @50,65,&75. Title: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 09, 2015, 01:25:20 PM I've had a punt on Chris Kirk! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: tikay on January 12, 2015, 11:08:56 AM Did anyone watch the closing round of the South African Open? Schwartzel started the final round 5 shots ahead, & was still 4 shots in front headed down the 14th. He then completely imploded, mentally, & ended up losing the thing to a guy who began the day 9 shots back. It was horrible to watch. He messed up one tee shot, had a relatively easy recovery shot, but dithered for at least 3 minutes before eventually hitting his shot. His little but numerous pre-shot "tics" were an awesome study in body language. And so it went on, the fella just went to pieces. Team Armchair probably slated him, but we've never been in that spot, have we? Pressure definitely changes how we think whether it be in sport, poker, or real life, it really affects us. Ultimately, it means he will not fulfil his potential, unless he can cure it. He's won plenty of events already, & is clearly a class act, but the mental scars from that will always be lurking in his mind. He was playing with a young lad from Sheffield (Fitzpatrick?), looks a lovely kid, & he imploded too. They both made a complete pigs ear of the same tee shot, & recovery shot, & thereafter, Fitzpatrick also went completely to pieces, almost as if the problem was contagious. It was an incredible thing to watch, though not terribly nice to see, almost like a black comedy.

Not as painful for him as the in running backers at 1.02 and 1.03 for any amounts. Not that i am critical of that at the time that seems a reasonable price always easy to say it looked short in hindsight. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on January 12, 2015, 11:34:32 AM I think he birdied his last five holes to win his Masters so not a total bottler.
He was weighed down by the fact that he'd never won his native SA Open though.

Not that i am critical of that at the time that seems a reasonable price always easy to say it looked short in hindsight. Yes, he won The Masters in 2011, which made yesterday's implosion all the more puzzling. I heard he was 1.01 on Betty at one stage, so I guess a few bob went south.

In play golf is dying on BF so prob not as much as you would think. I think the course plays a part in these meltdowns and if the last few holes punish mistakes (in the case of the SA Open with trees and thick rough) the pressure is magnified imo.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: rinswun on January 13, 2015, 08:34:29 AM Speaking of chokes, Jimmy Walker's was arguably even worse last night. Holding a three shot lead through 10 holes, on a course where two players shot -11 on the day, he proceeded to play the final 8 holes in +1 with no birdies, missing two putts within 6ft to end up in a playoff. On the first playoff hole, the par 5 18th which was playing nearly half a under par, Walker stood in A1 position on the fairway with his opponent Reed forced to lay up after a poor second shot. However, he proceeded to smash his second straight into the grandstand seats leading to a bogey. Traded under 1.1 with 8 holes remaining.

Wow, I watched his front 9, he was coasting, under no pressure, the course was being battered by everyone, & Reed was 4 back. I went to bed, expecting to read this morning that he had coasted home. What a beautiful course that is, "on the eye". It was fun to watch Bubba thrashing it around, too. Really enjoyed watching the whole 4 days, though I'm not a huge fan of the Sky Sports Studio Team, & the addition of Rich Beem does not seem to have added much by way of incisive comment to Miss Stirk's somewhat dull personna, either.

What exactly is he doing spending all this time in the UK on a TV Show? Does he live in Europe now, or does he commute? Has he retired from competitive golf? I know he lost his USA Card, but I thought he was playing the European Tour? I can't help but think that Sly Sports must have used up all the budget on the Arsenal Ledge, Mr Henry. "I want to do better I want to be better I want to Believe in Better" And, suprise surprise, Believe in Better has been the BSKYB "maxim" for the last 5 years.

The difference between listening to Moore and say Gayle who talks as tho he is addressing an audience watching its first NFL game every week was like chalk n cheese. Would love to get stuck In a lift with Rheinbold just to get a chance to listen to him talk about NFL. it's a shame that NFL Europe fell apart as we got a summer of NFL action and got to see some good NFL players/coaches playing in Europe and the crowds were fantastic too, some of the games in Germany got 50k + I think. I went to a World Bowl at the Amsterdam Arena maybe 12-13 years ago now and was probably 50k+ there too. Saw the Scottish Claymore's play in Barcelona too with a guy called Dante hall playing RB, he was like hot shit off a shovel quick but in the NFL he settled in as a kick return specialist ( think he held the record for most kicks returned for TD's at one stage) Think the ex pat nature in Germany helped it to be a big sport there, it's arguable that If London gets an NFL franchise that there should be a franchise in Germany too. Makes you realises how good NFL players are when you see how players like Hall are close up and think wow but they don't really make it in the NFL in their chosen positions.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: bobby1 on January 27, 2015, 12:02:16 PM There have been some decent sized changes to the Scottsdale course since last years event, I'vs seen suggestions it will be about 1 to 1 1/2 shots tougher per round. One of the differences is they have changed the driving lines and landing areas on some of the FW's to make it harder from the tee on some holes and redone a selection of bunkers to make them more relevant.
Course form might be worth a little less this week. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on January 27, 2015, 04:08:02 PM Yeah find that out after my selections obv.

I have a fancy for Lefty this week. I'm well aware of his form over the past 12 months but he looked to be ball striking better than in a long time last week and he loves the crowd here.

TBH it wasn't like golf should be, it looks great on TV with the atmosphere around the stadium holes and the crowd participation but outside those holes it just descended into which wag could outshout somehting borderline rude at a player/caddy/official. I watched The Phill, Fowler, Mahan group where the crowd was quite respectful but later on when watching Ben Martin, Rob Streb and Goosen one guy started jibbing at Strebs caddy that if he was any good he would be playing the comp and not carrying the bag and why was he so slow, didn't he know everyone was getting wet' It was raining hard, I'm covered in mud, its pisshead central and mi arse hurts and I've had 9 hours sleep in 2 nights so that was the cue for me to head off. It was good to see a great course and some great players and I've got a ticket for today when they are expecting between 200,000 and 250,000 people to attend. I'm deffo not in a rush to go tho, might just watch it on the TV and save the 130 bucks taxi fees and treat myself to some nice food in one of the nice looking restaraunts with the cash instead.

Hi Rich, Will get back to you later bud as I havn't got my ticket in my hand yet, there are headline stories everywhere down here about people not getting the tickets they have paid for. I have had a mail from the firm I have bought it from saying Ive been given a free upgrade for my 'loyalty and as a valued customer' maybe it's the Yorkshireman in me that makes me feel like there might have been a problem with the ticket I bought with them and they have found me another. The section they say I have been upgraded to is sold out on their site but the one 2 sections down the same level still has tickets avialbale with the cheapest at the mo being $10,700. It's a pretty big ugrade as I didn't pay anywhere near that but will wait til I get the ticket before I answer in full as I'm off to get it now. cheers Fingers crossed it's there.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on February 24, 2015, 05:36:49 PM Also anyone looking to back EW in these markets where Rory is quite short http://www.oddschecker.com/golf/honda-classic/top-gb-and-ireland http://www.oddschecker.com/golf/honda-classic/top-european can use the calculator half way down this page http://www.sportspreadsheet.com/golfdecision.html to compare the variety of place terms and win odds eg 40-1 3 places 1/4 odds is a lot better than 33-1 4 places 1/5 odds.

I quite fancy Brooks Koepke but 33/1 seems a little short what with him paired with Rory and DJ so might jump aboard IR. Also had a speculative EW dabble on Moraya Jutanugarn @150/1 in the ladies'.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on February 27, 2015, 09:48:53 AM Sort of ;bigadz; I know, but as it occurred to me that laying Rory might have been a good idea as it was going to be windy, but no takers as it was too close to him teeing off.

GL Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2014 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on March 05, 2015, 11:42:52 AM There's been an overnight plunge on Luiten since my dabble got matched @150 - you can now lay him@100 - so I'm guessing that either he's killing it in practice or doubleup's moved the market.

Bloody hell, the septics have two fearsome young competitors in Spieth and Reed. Their play in the final 6 holes/playoffs was little short of astounding. Two or three more like them and Euro domination of the Ryder Cup might be coming to an end.

Reed was obviously hampered as the course favoured players that move the ball the other way to him (he is a hooker I think) Is it beyond the designers ken to build half the holes to favour each type of ball hitter?

Reed was obviously hampered as the course favoured players that move the ball the other way to him (he is a hooker I think) Is it beyond the designers ken to build half the holes to favour each type of ball hitter? As doubleup said, a decent professional should be able to work the ball both ways although a course which favours a player's natural shape of shot is always an advantage. I'm a big fan of Patrick Reed but his game does currently look somewhat one-dimensional due to his inability to play the fade. He has been struggling a little bit with his swing in the last few weeks which could be the reason.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on March 18, 2015, 03:35:40 PM Gone for Lucas Glover T10 @ 14-1 and T20 @ 6-1 as well. He has showed improved form lately and seemed to play a bit better at Bay Hill than elsewhere. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on March 19, 2015, 11:56:21 AM Great to see two of my favs come alive in the shape of Jordy and Dustbin. I hope to see both figure strongly in The Majors ths year.
I gather the greens are in a pretty poor condition this week at Bay Hill, and as such if should level the playing field. Two guys I follow have been playing well but at this level can putt for toffee, hopefully Gwen Stefani 100-1 and Rus Knox 90-1, will give me a run for my money. Was almost tempted to include a win only on Rory, but not sure if all the "love in" stuff for him, will prevent total focus. Of the front guys Stenson looks ready to strike, but the price has gone. In Europe, I don't think I have ever seen a worse field assembled for the weekly headline Tourny. No bet. GL Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on March 19, 2015, 12:43:07 PM Agree about Stenson but not for me @~10/1.

Due to all the strange results this year I been mainly laying whoever was first round leader, just felt they had been too short. Never so keen to lay a 3rd round leader unless really short, but have noticed all the failures to convert this year.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on April 08, 2015, 07:34:41 PM Five musketeers for me, well four and a bit as I only got 78p matched on the rag before the price collapsed which really pees me off more than somewhat.
Mickelson, Oosthuizen, Koepka(bet him before he got injured), Dubuisson and Wiesberger(was 440 but now into 280 grr). Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on April 09, 2015, 10:24:39 AM Not got much on the win market. I had backed Day and Walker with the 7 places offer but don't like their draws, so laid off most of the initial stake. Still a small amount on both.
My entire strategy is draw based, which I think it is a bit of a freeroll as the weather is never going to change so much (citation needed) that the players I have chosen are going to get worse conditions. Other bets: Casey top Brit Todd top Debutant Bae top Asian Luiten and Blixt top cont euro Charl top SA Also did a multiple on some 72 hole bets early vs late starters and have a freeroll on Tiger scoring 73 or less courtesy of Betfair and BMU. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on April 09, 2015, 10:35:45 AM Based on your thoughts double, I cant resist having a stab at First round leader.
Who better than Charly Hoffman, capable of low rounds, out first as a twoball, so fly round, greens wont be like lightening 125s! Also chucked in Casey. GL Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Mark_Porter on April 09, 2015, 12:53:05 PM Long'uns - Woodland, Casey and backed Kaymer a while ago who has finally learnt how to draw the ball.
Decent interest in Rory with the WH offer. Couldn't resist the 6/1 Couples for top 20 last week + him and Bill Haas for first round leader. Bernhard Langer top 20 and top senior too.

Gonna be help of a Master's looking at that leaderboard. All the right names up there at the moment. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on April 10, 2015, 09:08:16 AM The main point about he weather is that the late starters yesterday tee of in the late morning today and get the worst of the wind again.

Gone for Koepke and Fowler in the win market and to win their groups. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on April 29, 2015, 11:23:06 PM I don't like this new round-robin format, especially the first round borefest.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on April 30, 2015, 11:07:28 AM Joke Oral still has Rickie at 40-1 ftw, if you want to have an EW dabble after his good start, They must have read your post as he's 33/1 now. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on April 30, 2015, 11:11:32 PM Rickie wins the group somehow holing about 100 yards of putts on the back nine.
Closely followed by Koepke winning his. Freerolling now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWJXDG2i0A Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on April 30, 2015, 11:34:07 PM Great that he's through, but can't help but think he'll have play a lot better off the tee if he's going to make the semi-final. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on April 30, 2015, 11:41:07 PM I've just realised that I've got a little ahead of myself re. winning the groups as they could both be tied should results go wrong, still could be worse.
The reason I fancied Rickie was because he's been striking the ball really well the last couple of weeks but not holing any putts. He appears to have got his putting sorted out but now he's spraying it all over the shop, what a game... Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on April 30, 2015, 11:51:25 PM Doesn't Rickie go through anyway? As he has beaten Harris and Shane and Gmac can't tie with him? What are the rules of the bet? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 02, 2015, 12:32:12 AM Rickie seems to be playing better today, -6 and bogey-free through twelve.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 05, 2015, 07:04:23 PM Anything interesting strike you boys for The Players Championship? I think that Brooks Koepka is a massive price @150 on betty. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 06, 2015, 10:39:54 AM I've gone for Walker and Oosthuizen both with 6 places firms. Shybet are going 7 places but have just cut all the prices to compensate, so pointless really. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 06, 2015, 11:37:33 AM I'm also on Louis "one hit wonder" Oosthuizen this week.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 06, 2015, 04:50:48 PM Westwood has a decent early start and has scored well on the course. so had a bit ew on 1stRL at 50s Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on May 06, 2015, 07:36:17 PM Gonna have a little dabble on Woodward and Henley ew.
Both in good form and did ok last year, Henley shot an 80 on moving day or would have been right in the thick of it. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 09, 2015, 10:52:10 AM In his first round on Thursday playing the back nine first Koepka contrived to score a seven at the 17th followed by an eight on the 18th, back to back quadruple-bogeys. He did have half a dozen birdies in that round but still finished +6.
Yesterday after eagling the 16th he needed to birdie the last two holes to make the cut on level par but could only manage to birdie one of them, finishing 3, 3, 3, and ended up on +1 missing the cut by one. He showed a lot of heart though. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on May 11, 2015, 01:35:33 AM A bit like the racing thread, it's a great place to look for winners by backing what people suggested last time out!

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 14, 2015, 01:12:22 AM Unfortunately there's no lowest Fisher market in the Spanish Open, so had a small dart on Trevor Fisher jnr. to win @280, also on Chris Wood @80.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 14, 2015, 10:31:38 AM Unfortunately there's no lowest Fisher market in the Spanish Open, so had a small dart on Trevor Fisher jnr. to win @280, also on Chris Wood @80. There should be a "top Scott" market for the US events as there is about 6 of them every week (tho Adam Scott would probably win and they'd grimm everyone) Anyway after his apparent return to form last week, I've top ten-ed the other Rory who has reasonable course form. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 14, 2015, 06:23:43 PM Decent start by my 279/1 poke, obviously not on for 1stRL.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 15, 2015, 12:55:08 PM Wind is meant to pick up a bit in Spain this afternoon so I've had a bit EW on Howell @ 20-1 Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 16, 2015, 02:17:16 PM Howeller must be on the verge of spontaneous combustion!

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 17, 2015, 07:27:06 PM I couldn't resist laying a £50/£6.50 against Rory just for the anti-rail.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 17, 2015, 10:51:26 PM Another £6.50 down the swanee.
You know what they say about a fool and his money.. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 20, 2015, 02:02:42 PM I like both Koepka @60 and Weisberger @70 this week and have also fired a small dart at Fisher jr. @ 500+.
I like Willett too but missed the fancy prices. May jump on IR especially if he wins. ;) Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 20, 2015, 04:33:35 PM Now also matched on what I'm hoping is a resurgent Manassero @150.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Marky147 on May 20, 2015, 04:34:26 PM I like both Koepka @60 and Weisberger @70 this week and have also fired a small dart at Fisher jr. @ 500+.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 27, 2015, 01:46:40 PM Jaidee in the Irish for me - he's been in cracking form in European tour events, just went off the boil over in the states. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 27, 2015, 02:51:20 PM Also on Jaidee although I was worried for a moment that I might not get matched after you put him up. Dabbled on Levy too.
Jaidee does tend to go on hot streaks for a few tourneys in a row so let's hope this is one of those. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on May 28, 2015, 12:52:29 PM If it was windy every week Rory would be putting grips on clubs for a living.

Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 29, 2015, 10:01:19 PM My 250/1 EW 1-2-3-4-5 poke John Parry is giving me a more than decent run for my money and deffo has a squeak sitting in T10 on even par after two rounds just three shots off the lead.
I had my tenner EW with BF SB and couldn't resist a peek at how much they were offering as a "cashout" settlement. How much do you reckon they are currently offering? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on May 29, 2015, 10:11:57 PM If they read your record on here, probably £0.01 ;D ;)
After 2 rounds You may be lucky to double your money, based on what I have seen. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: arbboy on May 29, 2015, 10:17:40 PM Given he is still a 90/1 poke on the exchange to win and around a 14/1 shot to top 5 i would be amazed if they offered you £70 for your bet now as it stands after they take their cash out margin.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on May 29, 2015, 10:32:34 PM £32.50 was the offer which possibly bodes well for my account.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on June 03, 2015, 01:03:38 PM Sabbatini top 20 (6 top twentys from last 7 on the course) and Kuchar ftw at the Memorial.

Snedeker EW @ 45-1- read shortly afterwards that he was in a dreadful mess on the range, with Harman spending 90% of his time with him and little with his other "pupils" Matsuyama EW @ 35-1 Jason Day EW @ 40-1 Todd 1st Rnd Leader @ 150-1 Victor Dub T20 @ 11-1 Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on June 19, 2015, 10:59:11 PM What a fantastic round this is from Louis Oosthuizen to recover from his 1st round +7 to be -4 on his round today with all of the distraction of playing with the dynamic duo of Tiger+15 and Rickie+14 both hacking it all over the shop.
Making the cut would be a fantastic achievement Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on June 24, 2015, 07:31:25 PM Nick Watney top 20 at River Highlands for me.

I have had a couple of my famous "terrible golf bets" with which to do so: Taking a bit of a flyer on Miguel Tabuena in Thailand, a guy who's golf swing has really impressed me every time I've seen him and who is available @ 80/1 for some lucky people, 66/1 for others. Going with my tried and trusted old pal "the nutty professor" Kevin Na @ 40/1 in Florida on a course which suits him down to the ground as exemplified by some good previous form. I may possibly have dabbled for very small stakes on the EW double, but surely that is only for supreme optimists and Marky 147's. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on March 08, 2016, 11:02:32 PM Will join in for some non Arse banter.

Just listening to Final Furlong Podcast, and then going to get on. Would be insane scenes, and should it happen, I might well rent the Villa until Vegas ;D Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: ChipRich on March 10, 2016, 12:04:13 PM Ha, was thinking about this thread other day after getting back into the Golf again after a year or so not bothering after doing fairly well
Am also already on Kevin Na e/w at 40s, past form here was just too good to turn down with 3 top 10s in 6 attempts. Other main bets bets are: English 33/1 ew Dufner 35/1 ew Moore 45/1 ew And a few speculative punts on longer shots on betty with Senden 180.00 (great record here, 1st and 2 2nds and 10th last time out at the Honda. And finally Streelman 80.0 (again, good record here 1st and 10th in the last 4 and in good form with 3 top 20s in his last 4 torns this year) Feel like it could be perfectly set up for Stenson this week but undecided as to whether I can go in on him at 14s though, hmmmm. Let's goooo glgl all Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on March 10, 2016, 12:09:09 PM Tabuena birdies three of the last five holes to end up on level par.
Still breathing on that one but only just. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: ChipRich on March 13, 2016, 11:00:04 PM sigh. Moore 3rd to just about get me out of it for the week.
Hoping Haas wins the playoff as he was never on my radar. (Considered Charl before start of play today :( ) If only Moore could make a goddamn putt! ;madasahatstand; ....onto next week! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on March 13, 2016, 11:17:29 PM Unlucky Chip.
My pick was so burdened by being my pick he gave up half way through the last round. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2016 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: ChipRich on March 13, 2016, 11:24:28 PM Ha, yeah I had a tickle on him ew too. 7 places, wasn't completely out of it for a place when he withdrew either! nvm.
Assume he be out of next week too where he played fairly well last year. T17 -9. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on March 15, 2016, 09:37:12 AM Will forget later this week.
Koooch time of year. Little ewe Sean o hair Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: rinswun on March 15, 2016, 10:53:45 AM Not sure there's ever a Kooch time of year!
I'm on holiday in Perth so haven't had a chance to review in depth this week - Sam who used to run Golf Punters Guide is previewing for us this week instead. Had a quick look at the odds though and am sorely tempted by Rory. Only a matter of time before the putting kinks are ironed out. Seems a fair price. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: BigAdz on March 15, 2016, 11:43:08 AM I'd happily switch careers.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: buzzharvey22 on March 27, 2016, 11:52:17 PM Tell you what, Ive really enjoyed the WGC Matchplay this week. The course is fantastic. Don't think anyone would have been close to -20 for the week over a 72 hole format. Fantastically designed course which isnt just about power and landing wedges 8 foot past the hole and spinning them back. The greens arn't huge, but with every different pin position it creates a whole new dynamic to the hole.
Hopefully current course designers have a look at this beaut, and realise that a course doesn't have to be long, or with 4 inches of bermuda rough around each green to be a true test of golf. Jason Day is some putter like. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Marky147 on March 28, 2016, 12:23:37 AM I don't usually watch much Golf, outside the majors.
Had a £20 free bet from Cheltenham, so chucked it on Rory, and have been following it all weekend. Day really does grind hard, doesn't he. Never gives anything away, and just super solid in and around the greens. Obv not the result I wanted, but the tourney has been very enjoyable to watch. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on July 28, 2016, 09:14:02 PM Okay I know it's a little late but let's have an aftertimers benefit evening as this thread seemed close to expiring.
Who are we all on this week? Obviously this is a minor chirp as none of mine have totally blown out yet although typing this may well have an adverse effect. Day, Stenson, Horschel and Na @ prices varying between 12/1 and 270/1 are my four musketeers. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Marky147 on July 28, 2016, 09:41:02 PM Had a couple quid on Fowler, and a tenner freebie I chucked on Garcia.
GL! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: fatcatstu on July 28, 2016, 10:02:19 PM Garcia, Fowler, willet, Horschell, matsuyama all e/w, dustbin to win.
Also got a 4 fold on Garcia, Fowler, Horschell and matsuyama to win their groups in the 1st round. £124 back off about 4 quid if it comes in. 2legs in so far, and Horschell 5 shots clear in his, Garcia 2 shots up in his. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: fatcatstu on July 28, 2016, 11:25:00 PM Oh how I love being Garcia'd. Why do I let him do it to me?
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: NoCardDSC on July 29, 2016, 09:51:37 AM I've gone JB Holmes (which was my NAP and tipped in TFT - great shout...), Horschel, Matsuyama, Kaymer, Garcia and Chappell.
A few sweats looming. I watched a fair bit of it last night and the course really does look tough if you don't keep it on the fairway. The heat didn't look to be too much fun either, everyone was dripping. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on July 30, 2016, 07:52:38 PM Could do with Mad Kevin doing a Molinari and birdieing the last six holes.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on August 07, 2016, 06:10:41 PM Furyk needing a par at 18 for 58!!!!
And in the centre of the fairway two putts for the pga record 58 (he breaks his own joint record of 59) Ryder cup pick?? Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: doubleup on August 07, 2016, 06:22:32 PM out in 27 back in 31 Breaks the record first set in 1977 by Al Geiberger. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: AndrewT on August 07, 2016, 06:43:01 PM That is nuts - he only picked up one shot in the last six holes, 11 under for the day standing on the 13th tee.
Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: rinswun on August 07, 2016, 08:05:37 PM Was -11 through 12 then parred a par 5. Typical!
Strangely, I wrote out my predicted Ryder Cup team earlier this week and had my final US wild card pick between Furyk and Berger. Reckon Berger could qualify outright if he wins tonight and Jim may end up with the pick. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: NoCardDSC on August 08, 2016, 11:50:04 AM What an incredible round, just had a look at the highlights.
24 putts, some going! Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: NoCardDSC on August 08, 2016, 01:21:20 PM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywctGXDNUus

Starts in just over an hour - intrigued to see how it all pans out with it being the first Olympics for golf. Hoping for a good watch Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on August 11, 2016, 12:54:19 PM I've dabbled on Paddy Harrington EW at a working-man's price as he's shown some decent form lately.

GLGL - I've had a bit on Olesen, he has been great at all of recent but if feel he's the kind of golfer that is just going to go on a flurry - quite a tasty price also.

Hoping for a good watch Got a feeling this is the right opportunity for the Grilla to step up. His part of the world, and playing ok. Bubba was talking a very patriotic game in an interview I saw, and felt he was nicely invested in the Olympic ethos. Also like the two put up on TFT. Title: Re: *****OFFICIAL***** 2015 GOLF BETTING THREAD Post by: Karabiner on August 11, 2016, 01:55:54 PM The golf is on Sky 478 :)
In fact all of the red-button Olympic events are on Sky channels 472 onward. |
