    The market is:
    Golf Mythical 2 Balls (Draw No Bet)

    The Bet is:
    John Merrick(to beat Brian Gay) in the Mayakoba Golf Classic

    Price 4/5 (remember its best to do 'draw no bet' because you will get your mooney back if they tie rd4 scores. Its 10/11 without this option so its a small sacrifice for a marginally worse price)

    Bookmaker:
    Paddypower


    Brian Gay leads the field by 5 shots. I find when a golfer who isnt in the top 5 players in the world(and sometimes even if they are)finds themselves in such a lead they just cant find their scoring boots in rd4.

    His opponent Merrick didnt have a bogey in the tournament until yesterday and seems solid.

    Heres another edge. The last time Brian Gay led after day3(2004) he ended up finished tied for 14th after shooting 5 over par in the final round!.

    The bet looks very solid to me.

    Well done. Overnight leader Gay managed a 1 under 69! But Merrick rewarded OP with final round 67!

    I mainly do singles, my rule generally anything above 4/6. Didnt see you golfing tip until this morning but was a great shout... fair play!!

    Have gone down to 1/10 before on singles... singles can potentially make you money.

    Bookies love the accumulators, lucky 15 type bets.. as the majority of them lose

    You're right, most people here aren't interested in anything other that an accumulator with at least 5 selections.

    But there are a few of us who take it a bit more serious.

    Have no interest or knowledge of golf so stayed clear but well done OP.

    I find that a bit patronising tbh. I don't see the harm in somebody doing accums for small stakes. Obviously they don't have the win potential that singles do but no harm in a weekly five or ten quid punt on the weekend footie to keep you entertained on a Saturday afternoon.

    Your counting too!.
    Ah thats a bit sick with france but the 6 nations was designed to preplex the form students me thinks. I find whenever i do anything in the 6 nations win or lose im shaking my head throughout!. Nothing ever goes smooth in the rugby.

    I see you got your old account back. Cant beat the old english!.

    Keep the proper tips coming, dont post here much as its not really a gambling forum, more of a accumulator discussion forum

    No harm in it at all. Some of us though try to be profitable in gambling, have read books, bit of study etc.. and always looking for the good bet.

    This was a great tip by the OP and I was just a bit pissed off it wasnt really acknowledged by the time I seen it.

    If he had posted a 10 selection accum. he might have got 10 posts of discussions.


    But yeah to be fair, each to their own and all.
