Get in the Hole! (MARCH 24th - 27th)

edited March 2011 in Betting Chat

PGA Tour: Arnold Palmer Invitational

 

The course at Bay Hill will offer plenty of birdies this week after being converted from a par 70 to a par 72 in 2010. The course is fairly generous off the tee but offers a stern test in and around the greens.

 

My first pick is Kevin Na @ 66/1. He finished T2nd in this event last year and has got off to a very good start this season with 2 top 5’s in his first 7 events. His ability to consistently hit greens and putt well (8th on tour this year,) will stand him in good stead for this event.

 

For my second pick, I have decided to unleash the TIGER @ 8/1. His record speaks for itself at this course with wins in ’00 ’01 ’02 ’03 ’08 and ’09. This will be the week that Tiger returns to the big time after his last low-round of 66 at Doral two weeks ago, where he finished in the top 10 and was T4th for greens hit that week. If his putter clicks he will be hard to beat.

 

European Tour: Open de Andalucia

 

First up we have Joost Luiten @ 40/1. He finished T6th here last year. The talented young Dutchman has been plagued by injury in the last couple of years, but those days are completely behind him now. Fellow pro, Rory McIlroy, has tipped Luiten to have a big year this season and hopefully that begins  this week.

 

Lastly, we have Soren Kjeldsen @ 40/1. He finished T6th here last year to go with his win at this event the previous year. His form tailed off the latter part of last season, but he is now back fresh from a 5 week break on a course that he plays well at.

    I really thought it was the masters this week!!! I'm well disappointed :(

    Seems like they've been advertising it on sky for ages.

    Yep, sadly it's still two weeks away. It will be worth the wait though.

    I love this guy and what a talent he is!

    If he has a decent week here i might put some money on him for the masters as he is currently 150/1 for that.

    Arnold Palmer Invitational

    Hunter Mayhnan - 25/1 -  Stats suggest more wins are coming his way soon. Fine course record.

    Brandt Snedeker - 60/1 -
    Already has three top 10s in 2011 and says this is the best he's ever hit it.

    Rickie Fowler - 40/1 -
    Results in 2011 are better than you might think. Will like wider fairways.

    Aaron Baddeley - 66/1 -
    GIR figures vastly improved and already a winner in 2011. Likes Bay Hill.


    Open de Andalucia

    Simon Dyson - 40/1 - Once again showed that he can adapt to a course quickly in Sicily.

    Oliver Wilson - 50/1 -
    Tavistock Cup heroics can provide the platform for a first Tour win.

    Jamie Donaldson - 35/1 -
    Brings solid recent and course form to the table and should go well.

    Peter Whiteford - 100/1 -
    Overpriced on both his T2 here last year and his play in Sicily last week.

    Jamie Elson - 150/1 -
    Two top-5 finishes in last three starts and a bright future ahead of him.


    Louisiana Open

    Brett Wetterrich - 35/1 - Fired up for success and plenty of course form including a win.

    John Merrick - 22/1 -
    The conditions should suit a man taking a step down in class.


    Kia Classic

    In-Kyung Kim - 18/1 - Relentlessly consistent and playing on her home course.

    yeh me too, nothing more frustrating than the previous week's pick winning the following week.
  • edited March 2011
    Ok so as my picks in Andalucia are way off the lead, I have put £5 on Johan Edfors to win @ 15/2.

    He is currently 3 shots off the lead.

    Just put it on to watch for an hour before I start playing poker....

    bogey bogey birdie bogey first 4 holes!! Ouch! Could be an eventful day......

    Saw ur equaliser on the F.L show last night, some strike, 94th min too !! Still think you should bring the Bayo' back.

    edit - wow joint leader now thru 10 - bet he was a big price in running after 4 holes!!! gl  !!
  • edited March 2011
    Yeh it's anyone's to win now. I had given up after those first 4 holes!

    It was a great strike by Bauza, I sit behind that goal so I had a great view.

    With regards to Bayo, we would love to have him back and i'm sure he would love to come back. However, I can't see it happening. The problem is, that when he was here before we relied on him way too much, so when he missed games through injury (which was a fair few) the rest of the team were clueless on how to play.

    Come on Edfors!
  • edited March 2011
    So last weeks pick Paul Lawrie wins this week!!! Edfors came 2nd at one one shot back.

    I might have one last in-play bet this week at Bay Hill tonight.
  • edited March 2011
    Ok so for the last bet this week I have bet £3 e/w on David Toms @ 33/1.

    He is currently in T5th, 5 shots off the lead, but crucially only 1 shot off 3rd place. And the e/w bet is at 1/5 odds for top 3 places.

    Fowler currently tied 5th so has a chance, small chance of win but hopfully get a place, Wetterrich leads after 3 rounds!

    How do you format/display your bets like that? .......

    I'm not sure I should as it will show me exactly how much I'm losing, but it's smart for posting bets on here.

    What tournies we got this week? It's STILL not the masters :(

    Yeh a few more weeks of me not picking any winners and it will start to get embarrassing.

    This is just a table that i keep in microsoft excel and i have copy and pasted it onto here.

    If your really lazy you could just copy and paste my table from one of my posts and replace my bets with yours.

    Still one more week until The Masters. This week we have the Sheel Houston Open in America and the Hassan Trophy in Morocco on the European Tour.

    I already have chosen my picks for these but I'm just waiting for all the bookies to release their odds, so i can get the best price.

    Thanks Splashies, Fowler blew it, unfortuantely but Wetterich hang on for a nice win @ 35/1.  Kyung Kim came tied 3rd as well for a small profit @ 18/1
