Golf Betting Thread 2016 Season

[DeadParrot]

Bets for the open.

Els, Harrington, GMAC, Piercy. I backed Els after he came close a few weeks ago and same with Piercy.

Think the weather will be horrible so all of the above are good in shite weather bar possibly Piercy but he is a good wind player.

Will have a few first round leader picks once I see the draw and the weather a bit closer to Thursday.

Also backed Kaymer - had forgotten about that

Blindly followed for the one time

[Dice75]

Blindly followed for the one time

The one time came in 3 times already

[elbows]

Early FRL thoughts before prices.

Colesearts, Els, Snedeker and Furyk. Also Furyk outright.

Because of no 10th tee starts specific hourly wind forecasts are important. Especially for FRL. The very late starters may get a break as the wind dies down late on. Also with Troon being an out and in links. Wind direction is also very important. If you get strong wind downwind front nine which then dies down for the back nine this will be a huge advantage.

[Silver-Tiger]

I've backed Els and Wood already and their odds have gone out and Harrington and his odds have came in.

I'm on Kaymer e/w now.
Hasn't missed a cut in 3 months. 4 places in that span.
Won the Dunhill links before and lost in a playoff also. Won the Pga and Dutch on linksy style tracks so he's no problem with the layout.
8 Open appearances and 7 cuts made with 3 top 15s.

I'm gonna go Rory on the nose but haven't done it yet so if anyone sees an offer let a shout.

In his last 4 appearances he's came thirsd in France (in second gear) , MC at the US, 4th at memorial and Won the Irish.
Won the Open last time out as we know and whilst i'm sceptical of how much he actually likes links golf despite an Open and a great Amateur record i feel he's very close to clicking on all parts of his game. And when the happens he'll blow a field away.
I hope it's this week.

Love Nic's cut for one round of greatness. Also Danny Lee. Streaky player that can have one great round.

Only thing about Rory is can he play in really high winds which are forecast for Saturday and Sunday

[Silver-Tiger]

No. Looking to past experiences.

I'm still going in though. Don't ruin him for me....

Saturday in particular looks bad now alright.

Lee is a good shout for FRL. Draw out already. PP going T8 FRL too

[Silver-Tiger]

Yeah. Took the 100s 8 places.

[Hooch]

Kaymer 55s, Reed 55s, F.Molinari 100s, Els 150s small token ew bet course form 04 2nd 97 T16.

Have Mickelson @ 45s last time he played here in 04 he finished third and in 97 finished T27, so course form is good. His last 5 starts read 13,27,mc,2,20 but all have been similar good start flat when chasing then a great final round, so im hoping something clicks and he puts it all together.

Vijay Singh top senior @3s on bet365 only a total of 9 players

Then again in 04 when Hamilton won he came in with no form whatsoever.

[eoghan104]

Lee is a good shout for FRL. Draw out already. PP going T8 FRL too

What are you using for the weather Elbows? Seems to me that it will be brighter in the afternoon with no increase in wind?

Did you go as far as to look at wind directions?!

Cheers

[Jibzzzz]

Ben Coley's Tips -

SPOILER

http://www.sportinglife.com/golf/new...eview-and-tips

2.5pts win Jordan Spieth

1.5pts e.w. Martin Kaymer

1pt e.w. Chris Wood

1pt e.w. Graeme McDowell

1pt e.w. Padraig Harrington

My Golf betting strategy would be to back his tips and Elbows tips.

If they both tip the same one then Double down.

Then very small stakes on my own fancies.

Willet @40/1
Jaidee @125/1

Yeah it looks like the wind is pretty similar all day Thursday. Was just making a general point. I use windfinder. Note the outlook for Friday and Saturday now horrific and Sunday not too bad. The wind direction for Thursday looks like being a crosswind and not that strong as to make a massive difference

[theduster]

Going with the old heads for this week.

Els
Harrington
Mickelson
Westwood

[elbows]

Changes to strategy for FRL slightly. Furyk and Sneds were a little bit short as I normally like at least 80/1. Added Lee, Shinkwin who went low in one round last week and Monty because he can go low especially if the wind isn't that strong.

And finally Molinari FRL 100/1.

Standard over committing to the majors but fuck it.

[elbows]

Coverage starts at 6.30 on Thursday morning. Sky go app in work for Thursday and Friday. Will miss most of Saturday as a sacrifice for watching it all on Sunday. Haven't really watched much of it over the last few years so really looking forward to this year.

[Silver-Tiger]

Laddies out to 11 on Rory now. Might bite on that.

Boyle have money back as a FB if your single is second or third including ties.

[Dice75]

Did GMac e/w as per Elbows.

One pick myself, Niebrugge. Gone e/w, FRL e/w, Top 5/10/20. Make me rich young man....

Niebrugge played great last year alright. Sure why not.

[elbows]

Johnson Wagner in the Barbasol for the sicko's

[TheWitchDoctor]

Did Colt Knost top 10 top 20 some win ew.

Drives it straight, putts and scrambles well enough and in good form

[elbows]

I heard DJ was in Desmond's place milling shots and smoking his brains out on Saturday night. Not exactly ideal prep. Probably wins it to show what I know.

[Raoul Duke III]

I've jumped aboard Soren Kjeldsen ftw.

[Guest]

Got on the Paud and GMac bandwagon last week

€10 ew VJ Singh FRL @300/1 with Victor 5 places

Scanned the list and his named really popped up at that price, bit of recent form, wants to say fuck you to the world, prefect place to do it

might add more in morning

[Crumbs]

Any love for Adam Scott @ 22/1? Has a great Open record in recent years.

[arrymyboy]

Brandon Grace each way, great links player

[Silver-Tiger]

Racing Post Selections - Steve Palmer - Open Champ - 4pts win DJ (10), 2ew Scott (22), 2ew Kaymer (55), 0.5ew Woodland (225)

Racing Post - Jeremy Chapman - Open 2ps win DJ (10) 1ew Spieth (14), 2ew Grace (33), 1ew Mickelson (50), 0.5ew Wood (100) 0.5ew KTKim (400)

[elbows]

Ben Coley's FRL bets

Zach Johnson, Colesearts, Shinkwin and Monty.

I think he must read IPB's

[Silver-Tiger]

I'm done.

Rory on the snout.

Kaymer, Wood, Ernie, Pod Ew.

Danny Lee FRL.

[Hooch]

I know it's probably a bit late now but would people be interested in an open competition like the one used for the Masters on here previously.

PP have a market for any player not to make a bogey in round 1 at 11/10. Very little wind forecast all day. Think the price is so wrong

Surely someone will make a bogey

















Can you do accumulators or is it singles only?

Seriously doubt you could do an accumulator
they are related events

No as in any player in the whole field to have a bogey free round 11/10 (now evens)

[eamonhonda]

Grace
Harrington
Lowry
Kaymer
Wood

Can't wait to watch it for the weekend. Pity no BBC. We want Ken on the course.

[Silver-Tiger]

He's working for Fox now doing a similar "Brownie Points". They're loving him over there.

[EnzoScifo]

Went with Kaymer and with Paddy paying 8 places gonna throw 4 darts at Chappell (150/1), Oleson (150) Kim (300) and Coetzee (300) and pray 1 gets a run

[elbows]

Wood on the verge of pulling out of the open with a neck injury

[rounders123]

Wood on the verge of pulling out of the open with a neck injury

Beware the injured golfer. Sounds like a mirror image of Harrington the year he defended the Open!. Worst thing you could do is back against him in a 72hole match bet.

I'm on Westwood, Sullivan, Furyk, McDowell.

[Silver-Tiger]

Just seen the video of him talking to someone at the side of a fairway. He sounds bolloxed.

[shrapnel]

kaymer gmac harrington and niebrugge. picked em all myself!!

[balfejohn]

Kuchar. Hatton leishman and kjeldson
Best of luck all

[TheImprover]

Day, Grace, Garcia

[eagle eye]

The last six winners at Royal Troon have been Americans. Of those six five have won it from when the first Honda Classic(as it's called now) has been played. Of those five, four have won the Honda and the other was second twice in it.

I know it's a real stretch but when you look at the list of winners of the Honda there are a lot of British Open winners in there. Padraig Harrington won it twice, Ernie Els, Nice Price, Mark O'Meara, Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Lee Trevino.

And then there are the Royal Troon winners Johnny Weiskopf, Mark Calcavecchia, Justin Leonard and Todd Hamilton. Tom Watson finished second in that tournament twice. Those are the last five winners at Royal Troon.

Anyways I'm looking for a yank to back and there are two in the field who have won the Honda Classic and they are Matt Kuchar and Russell Henley. I've backed both of them.

Adam Scott won the Honda this year.

[bantee]

Went e/w on Knox 80/1, Colsaerts 100/1 & Finau 200/1. Tempted by Grace and Danny Lee too but I'll leave it at 3.

I think it is just more the case of being able to play well in the wind on an exposed course. Scott Piercy would be my choice of the yanks. Best form outside of DJ and is good in the wind

[underachievement]

FRL darts on Jaidee/Singh/Lingmerth & Lombard
Outrights on Westwood/Sullivan/Leishman/Molinari & Wood

[Strewelpeter]

Does Nicky not share his wisdom with us any more

Rory because I think he'll win it, Shane because I'd love him to win it and the price is right and Pawdraig because I hate money

Scott Kuchar and Henly because EE's Honda theory sounds scientific

Miguel Angel because he's a god amongst men.

All those outsiders for FDL

Love the first two days of the open on TV

[luckforsome]

...Harrington (Main as always), Mcdowell, Ernie Els, Piercy, Kaymer, Furyk, Lowry all E/W and First round leaders: Lee, Shinkwin, Molinari...

..In Barbasol Johnson Wagner ew and E/W Double Wagner/ Harrington...

...Went slightly overboard, but it is the open and I am ridiculously excited...Elbow's may or may not have had a slight contribution to my selections lol...

[TonyCascarino]

Harrington, Thorbjorn Olesen, Snedeker main bets

FRL's harrington, olesen, grace, rahm, lombard and duval for the laugh.

No value in Grace outright so I've backed him as my main frl. Have been waiting for this for Snedeker for a while now so I'm expecting something decent.

[KevIRL]

Oh Monty

[KevIRL]

The wrong Lee tearing it up early on

[Dice75]

Oh Monty

Turned around well

[Jibzzzz]

Added some small ew darts on the below:

So Min Lee @500/1
Vijay @350/1
Varner III @300/1
Paul Dunne @300/1

Also added Speith win @10/1

[Guest]

Was getting a bit excited about VJ there, looked at overall price and he dropped a shot


Between me and Honda, I reckon Sligo boys are the HEX incarnate

[Strewelpeter]

for some odd reason I woke up in the middle of the night inspired to add Willets to my portfolio
