I love a bet on the golf as much as I do a game of poker, can't believe I've never stumbled across this thread before.
Some good tips from Splashies and Flush there.
I always think there's massive value to be found in golf odds, to join in the fun, I'll post my tips for the week in a while.
Anyway good luck and for what it's worth I think Snedeker and Haas are both good ew bets at 50/1
Most weeks I tend to swerve the more obvious candidates as my strategy for golf betting is to always look for the ew value and most week's there is always a few value bets at massive odds to be found.
This week, my value bets are:
OPEN DE FRANCE - Outright - EW
Danny Willett - 66/1 - Former amateur number one, turned pro with plenty of potential and finally got his first tour win 2 weeks ago. Willett followed up that first win with a missed cut in Ireland, but history tell's us Willett can bounce back from a bad week with a good result next time out. Consider that he has excellent course form (mc, 5th, 10th, 13th) and is looking for a top 5 finish to qualify for The Open, Willett will be looking for a big week this week and at 66/1 is well worth an ew punt.
James Morrison - 125/1 - Has course form as he lead this event after 3 rounds last year, only to fall back to a tie for 7th with a final round 78. Despite a 3rd round 81, still managed to finish tied 10th at Wentworth in an event he had missed the cut in his 2 previous attempts. Recently won The Open qualifier at Sunningdale, with rounds of 63 and 68. Coming off a steady 24th in Ireland last week so clearly playing well, 125/1 ew is MASSIVE!
GREENBRIER CLASSIC - Outright - EW
Jeff Overton - 40/1 - Been playing well under the radar for much of the season and has already managed 2 top 5's. Last week was typical of his season, day 1 he shot 79 to sit 5th from last, but over days 2, 3 and 4 only Tiger Woods shot better than Overton as Overton fought back to finish in a tie for 22nd. Looked like the winner of this event in 2010 until Appleby shot a final round 59! Recent form and course form equates to a nice value bet at 40/1.
Andrers Romero - 66/1 - Missed 6 cuts in his first 11 events this year, seems to have steadied the ship since with 4 straight made cuts which included an impressive tied 2nd behind Tiger at The Memorial last month. Tied 4th in The Greenbrier Classic last year, which looks good. Romero is proving to be a bit of a hot and cold player, if he is on his game this week, 66/1 will soon look very generous.
Jeff Overton 50/1 £2win
Cameron Tringale 50/1 £2 win
Ben Curtis 60/1 £2 win
Kevin Na 66/1 £5 e/w
Blake Adams 125/1 £5 e/w
Greenbrier Outright
Ben Curtis 66/1 £5 e/w
Overton and Tringale course form so a few shillings each so I dont rue the hindsight of not backing if they were indeed to get off to a flyer, Curtis in form of his life this year and after slightly going off boil recently could give another good showing and is my only outright pick at a fancy price.
Wouldn't have faith in Na for outright after a dissappointing Sunday at the Players but was sensational first 3 days and was number 1 for putting that weekend which could help propel him up the leaderboard early doors if putter working again.
Blake Adams has been Mr consistent this season and very notable on first day of majority of this year's tournaments he has been prominent in opening days low scoring and think 125/1 represents the best value in the entire field.
James Morrison for the reasons cited in above post would also be a good each way shout for 1st day leader in France, 80/1
Open De France - First Round Leader - EW
Marcel Siem 66/1 - scored very well first round this year and another early tee start gives him a chance to get off to another flyer.
Mathew Baldwin 200/1 - first season on tour, made some very good first round scores, 200/1 just too big to resist.
Greenbrier Classic - First Round Leader - EW
Seung-Yul No - 50/1 - Been putting together some good tournaments and often gets off to a good start.
Graham De Laet - 150/1 - Morning start for a player who won 3 time on the Nationwide tour, 200/1 outright also looks way to big though final round scoring has been his achilles heel on the PGA tour, so maybe first leader is his best chance.
So have put some money on their 1st Round leader selections!
Good Luck Guys!
Also taken 75/1 ew on Fedez-Castno
I got a decent run from a couple of my players, but also came up short in the end.
I think the First round leader is possibly more difficult to crack than the winner outright.
So here's hoping for a good run over the next 3 days.
Happy with the position of a few of my players after day 1, but long way to go.
I had to get into the 'in running market' in France half way through day 2 and took:
Goerge Ceotzee 66/1
GMAC 66/1
Raphael Jacquelin 40/1
Will be looking at 'in play' for Greenbrier later, after Romero's mighty fall down the leaderboard I'm left with 200/1outsider Graham DeLaet and Jeff Overton who is at least steadily moving in the right direction.
