BMW PGA Championships

edited May 2011 in Betting Chat
Well my golf tips haven't been too bad the last couple of weeks, so I thought I'd start a thread for this week.

There is some good value out there this week IMO, a lot of long odds for some players that don't deserve it. The bookies seem to be putting most their eggs in Luke Donald's basket, and too be honest I don't think he will win. He is 1 of my favourite players, but he admitted during the matchplay he has been feeling a bit ill, and I think with so many rounds of high class golf over the weekend to then go and lose in the final, he will be a bit drained.

Skybet have him at 15/2 which is rediculous with the amount of runners in it!

I think Rory is looking like getting back to his best and I can see him giving this a good run.

Chris Wood played really well a couple of weeks ago before having a Mcilroy type blowup in the final 9 holes, but I think he will learn from that and will feature this weekend.

Long odds for Jacquelin who only a few weeks ago was winning or finishing top 10 for fun, he is great value at 125/1.
Chris Wood £5
50/1    
Rory Mcilroy £10 @
18/1    
Raphael Jacquelin
125/1

    For me there are two stand out youngsters who could have a good week.

    I haven't put the bets on yet as not all bookies have opened this market yet.

    Matteo Manassero at around 45/1. He recorded a top 20 here last year and coming from a recent win in Malaysia, he will fancy his chances this week.

    Danny Willett is playing solid golf at the minute. His last 5 results read 16-24-7-17-11. This coupled with his 5th place here last year makes him a good pick at around 80/1.

    I will post later what odds i get when i place the bets.

    Good luck.

    3 for me this week:Martin Kaymer @16/1 £7.50 e/w  going through swing changes but I said weeks ago was gonna back him for this so cant change my mind now
                               Alvaro Quiros @35/1 £2.50 e/w  no reason just fancy will run well
                               Stephen Gallacher @ 100/1 £1 e/w consistent and should give me a run for my money
                                   

                            GL ALL

    Just added Ross Fisher @ 33/1.

    It's his home course and will probably have a good week. Got 1/4 on 6 places on skybet.

    I took Westwood to win but put a couple of quid e w on Simon Dyson, he's sneaked up the leader board over the past two days, only needs to reach the top 5 for a payout, btw I got 100-1.......

    Dyson to clean up?????

    Looking like a good couple of bets atm m8.

    Come on Jacquelin 1 or 2 birdies in the last 3 holes will do it...

    Unlucky Lee Westwood, just a tad ambitious in the play-off, but congrats to Luke Donald, his luck held out till the end.. But thankfully Dyson took my profit for this tourney to a successful conclusion..

    Can some1 explain how to work out E/W odds.

    I had Jacqueline place at 125/1. It says 1/4 for top 5 places... Now I would of thought that means you get a quarter of the odds, therefore a quarter of 125/1 is 31.25/1 so £5 @ 31.25 is £156.25 + my £5 stake = £161.25 ... All i got back was £107.50, so clearly im working this out wrong??
