Also backed DJ 15.0, win only for a lay later on (hopefully) to give me a free bet.

Backed Finau (25.0) and McIlroy (17.0) E/W 10 places on the exchange.
Think it's McIlroy's time.

That was a good decision, +6 and +7 after Rd 1 :eek:, back to the drawing board.

As punters we need to apply some of the logic we apply to horse racing to golf betting,just because a golf tournament lasts 4 days (if we are lucky) and a race only takes a few minutes does not mean that there are simple rules that should apply to both for betting purposes.

This week i backed McIlroy to finish in the top twenty because i felt that despite some recent poor form on balance he was a good bet to make the top 20,i ignored the fact that he was dire last week and his head must be melted trying to figure out why he has not won in 15 months.

Many others backed McIlroy to win this week! Would any of us back a horse to win a group 1 if the horse had not won a race in 15 months?
hardly i would guess and we should not forget that form is important in golf as it is in racing.

When my bet on McIlroy was heading down the tubes (likely but not certain yet) i stuck a few quid ew at 16s with PP 8 places on the form player in running at 16/1 and i hope Dechambeau will give me a bit of a run for my money.

This is why I think exchanges are essential for any successful gambler. Guys like mcilroy will always be heavily back given his profile, especially this side of the pond. There's good money to be made from that fact.

Nobody doing anything this week? Incredibly poor field but I've had a few darts for interest. Got the prices before Berger WD so at least that's something!

Henley @42
Steele @50
Ben An @85
Wu @100
Vegas @110

Kizzire 80/1 e.w Top 7

finglashoop

doig ghim to go well after last week.

phil Mickelson

both e/w at decent prices

zimmermania

Despite the distraction of Cheltenham i am having a bet on the golf again this week,will wait until a round or 2 is played in the US but Kenya offers the value bet for me this week.

GAGANJEET BHULLAR often plays well in the 2nd division tournaments away from the glamour events and was a good 5th in this last year.

He showed his wellbeing by finishing 2nd in Qatar last week in a field at least as good as this if not better.

I have a tenner ew as usual at the juicy price of 66/1 and heres hoping for a good run,some good scores in but Bhullar who just started may be much shorter later today.

I couldn't find a player to back, the field was so poor but I ended up backing Lowry and Westwood for a small interest just to have something to shout about.

Wheres the best place to research for golf tips or any good tipsters people use. Have been enjoying watching the last few weeks but would love to have an investment to last til the final day, I had been following golfbettingsystem but have yet to have even a place with more missing the cut than making it!

Any suggestions

Golf Betting System allows you to choose the filters

They produce a top 30 / top 25 from memory, so plenty to play around with

Racing post preview and Greensquare golf are others

Then ESPN Golf and European tour and PGA Tour for information

Dunno if you're on Twitter, there's a few that I follow on there that you could look at.

If you start following some of them , you will no doubt come across others.

Couple of early bets in the Matchplay this week, risky before the draw comes out, hopefully they aren't in the same group!

Palmer 100/1 e.w top 8
Spieth @ 36

Palmer is playing quite well lately, he seems to be overpriced alot considering he's no.26 in the world, with this event being a bit of a lottery I like his price and the top 8 payouts, some sites only doing top 4.

Just backing Spieth as the format might suit him, he can certainly make a bunch of birdies and sink putts from all over the place when he gets it rolling well, his wayward shots wont be costing him doubles either, so may play with more freedom too, you never know.

Doubt I will back too many more, will probably just be doing doubles or trebles on matches each day tbh.

Looks like a good draw for DJ, I have backed him at 16/1 that'll be my last outright.

charlesanto

Matthew Fitzpatrick 35/1
Sungjae Im 30/1
Each Way: 1/5 Odds, 8 Places

okidoki987

Big differences in prices this week especially if you're not backing them e/w.
Some bookies going 1/4 odds 4 places, rest going 1/5 odds 8 places.
DJ, Rory and Casey are my picks for this weekend, win only.

redzerdrog

Is there anywhere offering betting on the winner of each bracket? And can you back them in multiples?

Powers you can back to reach semi but cant combine

Thanks but that only gives the winner of the group. I am looking for betting on each quarter of the draw

Tournament in Kenya starts in the middle of tonight.

Only bet of interest for me is

3pts e/w Wilco Nienaber @40/1

zimmermania

I cannot get away from the notion that De Chambeau has the power and ability to blow his opponents away in the 18 hole format so i am on ew 8 places PP.

NATLOR

Reed
Speith
Casey
All e/w 8.places

Potential Underachiever

Corales event I have the short named duo Suh and Wu.

The real mccoy 91

After a small bit of study I'm taking a bit of a flyer on a few group winners who I think are overpriced in a small stake heinz bet

Oosthuizen 11/4
Hatton 17/10
Frittelli 5/1
Ancer 2/1
English 11/4
Henley 13/5


Rahm is my most likely winner so having a win only stab at 14s adding in hatton ew 4 places @30/1

unplayable

filled out my bracket landed on hatton v reed final so both at 36 win only on the exchange.

redzerdrog

Matchplay - in running

Tommy Fleetwood 5pts win @8/1

munster87

Hadn’t anyone backed this week, will take Harrington at 225/1 in running with Ladbrokes

munster87

Padraig that is!
