Just to add... Charles Howell is going off at 22/1 in the other PGA tour event. Really soft field and IMO is a mile above the other players. I've stuck £10 on him to win, might be worth a look considering the soft field.
Free £5 bet on Jason Day @14/1. Was dead and buried but got let off the hook and its funny how many times guys go on to win after that happens. Be lucky. Posted by achill
Well my pin landed on Dustin Johnson took Stan James enhanced win only 35/1 and backed him at 7/1 to win his bracket. Just think he is in weakest quarter. Same bet with Stricker 45/1 and 9/1. And MclRoy enhanced 14/1 though win only with him. Good luck everyone with your picks. Posted by joesman1
My pin remains lucky. If Johnson and Stricker can both scrape through today (Stricker esp' has a tough 'un), I'm in a strong position and can back their opponents in a double in the quarter finals to guarantee a profit. MclRoy can't complain about his draw right through to the semis either.
In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2012 Season. (WGC Accenture Matchplay) Years Profit: -£2.25 : kiss of bloody death i am! i think ill call it a day re matchplay betting and enjoy the action unfold over weekend Posted by BELL_POKER
I'm in the same boat m8. I reckon I've put on £100 with no return over this week on the matchplay! Kaymer is still in the mix though and Charles Howell had a great start over on the tour so hopefully they can get me out of this hole!
Ok so purely for a bit of fun iv had tonnes of tiny bets including singles, doubles, trebles and fourfolds etc, totalling £11.10
Heres how iv called the matches...
Stricker v Mahan Westwood v Watney Laird v Lawrie Snedeker v Hanson Johnson v Wilson McIlroy v Jimenez Kaymer v Kuchar Senden V Bae I'll be impressed if i get 4/8 here lol

lol I got 4/8, returned £6.15. Not sure if i'll bet on the games today as im out tonight.
Oh well, Stricker came up against an inspired man, Johnson just played like a plonker. All hopes of a profit hinge on Mclroy now. Not gonna try pick another and do more money in. Though I wouldn't put anyone off Mahan the way he is playing, still a very fair price.
In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2012 Season. (WGC Accenture Matchplay) Years Profit: -£2.25 : Quarter finals be done and dusted by 6pm. What time do u start on the pi@@?? Lol Posted by joesman1
Ah ok, I'm of to watch the mighty Cobblers anyway, we're on a roll, two wins in row. Unheard of!
Hunter Mahan is good bet at 7/2 on some sites to win it all. hes playing amazing golf and has crushed almost everyone hes played so far. Ive had a big bet oin him today to beat mark wilson at 7/10 as he is just simply playing the best. Also think westwood will beta Mcilroy today as with an early lead Mcilroy will just drop his head and Westwood will just prve too solid for him IMO

Grrrr do i stick or twist?? Wish i'd taken my own advice and backed Mahan at 7/1 yesterday morning, i'd be sitting pretty now. I can either take the chance for a very nice profit and do nothing, or i can have a lump on Mahan at 6/4... Think i'll have half a lump on him, win twice my initial stake on the event if Mahan wins, and win much bigger if my original pick wins
Just had a look at the money list odds for 2012. I think Webb Simpson could be in for a good year @ 16/1. But by far the standout odds are Keegan Bradley @ 100/1!! Since the guy burst onto the scene half way through the season he has been rock solid. No way is this guy 100/1. By no means would I say he is the favourite, but who would of thought Luke Donald would of done what he did in 2011... I think McIlroy will win the R2D this year comfortably. Doubt I will bet on it though as the odds are too short for a year long bet. I've put £5 on Bradley, and I might ring up Sky and get them to place the double. What would the odds on the double be Mr stats man? 100/1 + 9/2 Posted by FlashFlush
Well one good thing came out of this week. Rory has taken no.1 spot on the R2D. Shame Keegan couldn't go through at least 1 more round, but he is currently 11th. A big finish this week at the Honda classic could put him in a great spot!
No European Tour event this week, so just the one event to bet on.
PGA Tour - Honda Classic
It looks like it will probably be a tough scoring event again this week, if previous years are to go by.
First pick is Charl Schwartzel. I'm going to stick with him again for another week. He notched a top 15 here last year and i always fancy him on tough courses.
Second pick is Mark Wilson. He won this event in '07 and comes into the week in great form after his excellent display in the matchplay. He is already a winner this year too, i think hes excellent value this week.
Finally, Ben Crane. Has come in the top 5 in this event twice out of the last four years. Has managed 3 top 10's this season already and usually goes well in tough conditions.
I might be completely wrong but I think the fav's in the Honda are suspect this week. After a hard slog last week, and another WGC event next week, how bothered are Mclroy and Westwood gonna be this week?? And Woods?? OMG he was poor again last week. With these heading the betting, we are getting juicy prices on everyone else. At 66/1 I'm giving Rickie Fowler another chance. Double the odds he's been most of the season.
Was gonna go for Yang like Flashie has but instead picked 3 others: S.O'Hair@66/1 £2 e/w F.Jacobson @50/1 £2 e/w K.Stanley @33/1 £3 e/w No particular reason on any except don't fancy any of the favourites or any one who had a run last week, GL all Posted by jackda

lol.... am i allowed to ridicule myself??? Rory wins... Tiger 2nd.... Westy 4th.... and just to rub salt into my wounds Fowler finishes 1 shot off the money and a nice 16.5/1 place win... somehow managed a double bogey from the middle of the 6th fairway grrrr

So stuck it £5 e/w on Kyle Stanley @ 25/1
