Golf Betting

Personally I wouldn't touch Bae (pre tournament) as I feel that his nightmare on the 18th in last weeks Presidents Cup on home soil may have left it's mark. He might prove me wrong and come out all guns blazing but I would avoid at least until he has one round under his belt.

Hasn't he started his military service now?
 
I'm going to put small monies on a few doubles, matching a hot favourite on one side of the pond with someone a little longer odds on the other. This leaves me wide open to the probability that one fella will win or place while the other tanks! But the odds are too short on the few I think will probably run riot this weekend.

Kept powder dry on outrights bar a course-form quid on Bryce Molder, hoping a 1st round leader bags me a stake for the weekend

Just realised when sticking on this weeks bets that the Barnrat placed for me so I ended winning a few quid. Didn't cover my weeks stakes but wasn't far away. :D

Picked another few for this weeks action and will disclose them after the cut. Picked a couple of the PGA this week as well as I tend to watch the Sunday PGA more than the European Tour

Good result for your first week, any bit of a win keeps you afloat. I had him also and was seriously considering cashing out Saturday evening, they offered me £100 (had £5e/w at 55/1) but I said I'd hang in there because the same thing happened last week and I considered cashing out on Oleson but was rewarded for staying with him. Saying that he had a cushion whereas Barnrat was in the thick of it with some form players. Thought he'd blown in with his bogey-doube bogey-bogey run but he birdied the last to sneak a split-place. Covered my stake and lets me have a few very speculative punts this weekend.

Again its a case of if I needed the money I would've cashed out, but the possibility of a £350 win kept me in there. Good luck this weekend!

Actually quite looking forward to this, although with McIlroy and Rose only playing this week due to a sponsors agreement, I can't see them being particularly bothered, McIlroy especially.

Matsuyama and Koepka look primed to go well but they are quite short in price. I've decided to go with Finau (surely due a win soon? Played superb golf in the second half of last season), Bowditch and Swafford.

If anyone is interested I've wrote a preview for it this week which you can find here

Portugal Masters looks a decent event on the European Tour. Chris Wood has been flying under the radar the last few weeks and could be worth a bet at 20/1 (has good course form here). Alex Levy won here last year and 30/1 seems fair. Joakim Lagergren has put together two top 5 finishes in his last 3 starts, and at 90/1 seems a very good bet.

Good luck all.
 
Well I'll admit I got suckered in by a betting firms 'special offer" tonight.

Giovinco to score anytime and Toronto to win 4/1

For anyone who doesn't follow MLS ; Giovinco will probably be the MVP for the season. He's been outstanding.

So yours truly sticks 30 quid on.

Not realising he played in Rome 18 hrs prior to kick off .... oopps. No worries if he doesn't play a part I'll probably get a refund. But they send him on winning 1 0 with twenty mins to spare. He duly scores a worldie, beating 4 players before firing in from.18yards.

So I've made my investments on golf back and included Alexander Levy at 28s in a large ew.

72 staked.78 gained!
 
What a sickener. Had Grillo in a double with Colsaerts. £2 at...

2000/1.

No chance Colsaerts was going to challenge Andy S but if he placed it would have still been a serious pay-day, watched him limp around Sunday dropping shots. Serves me right, should have bet on Grillo solo at 45/1. Oh well, always next weekend!

I dont back Colsaerts anymore as the fella is so up and down,he can play great golf one minute and the next look totally disinterested and blow up,its a shame cos he's got so much game.

You're very right. Backed him successfully as a 1st round leader a few weeks back and should have had him this weekend given his form in Portugal, but as for getting it done he hasn't in a while. In fairness I never saw Sullivan coming, neither would I have predicted any of those who placed (except Wood, who was very short odds), but it's a sickener to have picked Grillo for 1st round leader and in a double and not put anything on him outright alone. Silly boy, I knew he was flying it.

I think Chris Wood is getting close to a win aswell as in the US Daniel Berger and Justin Thomas.
 
Yep, all good shouts.

Have no clue who to pick in Hong Kong - tough one to call - but across the pond I'm going to cross my fingers for course specialist Kevin Streelman @ 70/1. He's played 5 tournaments at Silverado, played all 20 rounds, and averaged 67.5. Would have won last year but for a late crazy run by Martin.

Come on Kev. :)

Hong Kong to me looks like one of those markets that if you back the top 4; Rose 6/1 Johnson 9/1, Fitzpatrick 16/1 and McDowell 20/1 theres a very reasonable chance of picking the winner as the field isnt that strong.
Theres a fella called Chris Paisley 250/1 who's being well backed, never heard of him maybe course local pro??
