Tips for Tikay

[baldock92]

Not going to be looking at the F1 markets today.

Had a significant event happen that has shaken me up a little bit so I'll get round to it tomorrow. Sorry. I'm fine BTW.

Hope everything's alright with you, Peter!

Hope everything is ok for you too Peter.

Hoping horseplayer is well too.  You could always rely on him to mark your card for Dubai.  Hope he has just fallen out with the forum and nothing worse.

It's been over 2 months since Horsey last logged in.

To the best of my knowledge, he never had a falling out with anyone here, or not that I'm aware of.

The LPGA heads to California this week for the Kia Classic. Defending Champion is World number one Lydia Ko. Bets first, reasons after.

£25 E/W Ariya Jutanugarn 10/1 S Jam

£15  E/W Sung Hyun Park 16/1 various

£20 Top 10 finish, Lizette Salas 10/1 Bet 36+5

Only four Women have shot four bogey free rounds in a tournament since 2011 and two of them happened last week. World number one Lydia Ko and Local Girl Lizette Salas had the blemish free rounds and Salas heads home for this weeks tournament in high spirits.

Her best finish here is T2 in 2014 and she has posted a couple of top tens before. She is in great form at the moment and if she can hole some putts this week then a top ten is very likely.

Ariya Jutanugarn is a machine at the moment. Her last four tournaments are T2, 2, T8, T3. It's only a matter of time before she wins again and Stanley Jammo have taken the view that it won't be this week. Most firms are 7/1 and they've inexplicably gone 10/1. She could quite easily be the Tiger Woods of Womens Golf, only 21 and been a pro for two years, she's ridiculously long, 49th in driving distance and only uses a three wood. She currently leads the way in Birdies and tops the money list for 2017. Ariya won five times last year and could easily surpass that this year. Maybe the last time we see double figures for her to win a tournament before a balls been hit.

Sung Hyun Park has one of the best swings in Golf. Awesome scorer, number one in scoring average and Rounds under par and is playing in her first season on the LPGA tour. Again, it's only a matter of time before she wins and I hope I'm on her when she does. She's played two tournaments this year and hasn't shot a round in the 70's. I've played five tournaments this year and I also haven't shot a round in the 70's. Unfortunately, mine are all in the 80's and 90's whilst hers are all in the 60's. Bitch!

There's a couple of other bets I considered, I'm not recommending them but I'll put them up.

Lydia Ko is in impressive form and is the defending Champ so likes the track. At 12/1 though I've passed her over for two that I feel are better value.

Lexi Thompson missed the cut last week after shooting -4 in the first two rounds. It was the highest cut line for an LPGA tournament. I didn't see any of her rounds but she took 60 odd putts which isn't good. Hopefully she has worked on that aspect of her game and is currently 25/1 with various firms. We were betting her a couple of weeks ago at 12/1 and I don't think missing the cut will have made her a bad player overnight.

Former World number one Yani Tseng has showed signs that she might be coming back into a bit of form. She dispensed with her coach and caddy for whatever reasons and has had a couple of bad years. Her old coach is back on her bag though and although she has missed three cuts this year she also has had a T14. You can get 400/1 on her not discovering the form that won her 5 majors and $10 million.

Maude Aimee Leblanc is another you would have to take a massive leap of faith to back. She missed the cut last week but shot a 64 in her second round. The 77 in her first round killed any chances of her doing anything on the weekend. She was T7 in the Australian Open in Feb though so that sort of form and no stupid 77's will make the 400/1 currently available look ridiculous come Sunday.

All the best if you have a flutter.

Hope Peter is okay and Horsey as well. Guess Tikay will outlive us all but glad you're back posting.

Later.

Hi Tighty,

The Jutanugarn bet is 10/1 stand out. I wouldn't take less to be honest and unfortunately I can't offer any help as I've been restricted on as well.

I've still got £100 for Fred if anything needed for 356 on ladies golf or F1. Every time I log in someone seems to have just put a bet on at 356 for you 😀

Looks like the usual pre-season "they're the favourites" - "no THEY'RE the favourites" to me.  It's certainly going to be an interesting season.  Andrew Benson's a respected BBC journalist though and knows his stuff.  I think this season preview he posted earlier today tells us a bit more:

He's pretty scathing of McLaren which ties in with what Peter and I were saying.  Are they still 5th / 6th in the Sporting Index indices?  Sell sell sell.

The remain 6th favs but the indicies is a dull and boring market.  You can sell at 1 for an almost certain winner but meh.

I will still sell their constructor points to anyone who forecasts a disaster for them at 35 if anybody wants.  No real market is out there as far as I know so it's my own price and I'm not arbing anyone.  At a guess i'd say it was where Renault were quoted last season.  My credit reference if anyone is interested is Dubai.
