Self control and not adding to my bets was the main reason I didn't get on Sterne last week and is the same reason I won't be on Walker either, well that and the fact all the value odds on Walker have gone.
Yes, pleased with my 40/1 on Ryan Moore, then again I was delighted with my 75/1 on Steve Marino last week after seeing him backed into 50/1, delight soon changed to horror as he got off to an horrendous start and eventually finished one hundred and **** 50th out of 156!
I see the bookies and punters have deserted Marino this week and he's out to 150/1, he does have some decent course form for this weeks event, so just in case Marino can quickly forget the horror show last week I have decided I can also forget it and given him an ew second chance and doubled him with Tommy Fleetwood at 25/1.
That's me done, as long as I don't weaken and take Bell's advice and dip my feet in the first round market.
how do you register i might give it a go is it only starting this week for the PGA? Posted by BELL_POKER
It started last week, so you missed out on the easy 500 points that Brandt Snedeker gave to 90% of selections...
You basically pick 4 players each week and you get their accumulative FedEx cup points. You can't pick 1 player more than 10 times over 1 season though.
aye sound its on the pga tour site then gotcha. signed up there now. im not blown away by the weekly prize of a backpack so count me in for a private league for the bragging rites much better craic!

I'm in, though after you wrote that, it took some courage to register my team with it's massive TWO points tally from week 1

Oops... Who did you go with? I had Dustin, Snedders, Phil and Mr Harrington, Both Dustin and Harrington missed the cut, Phil only scored 11 so Snedders came to my rescue
I actually had 2 picks the same as you, Dustin and Padraig, then there was my value flop of the week Steve Marino, young Seung-yul Noh provided my 2 points.
A first glance at the Northern Trust Open leaderboard and I see my value bet of the week Charles Howell III has started bogey bogey and sits in last place of the 27 players out on the course, naturally Charles is one of my 4 fantasy picks this week, sigh!!!
Make that bogey, bogey, bogey start for Charles Howell III, plum last of 36 on the course, unbelievable!
On a brighter note for me, Graham DeLaet has managed two birdies in the first 3 holes and is early leader with Jim Furyk. I'll never get over my DeLaet obsession with starts like that!
It's only Thurs night, but I can safely put a line through this weeks selections. Adding Justin Walters @ 40/1. 2 under with 4 to play, then straight out again on his 2nd round. Clutching at straws to try turn things round.
Ha ha, looks like we think alike on the fantasy picks! I had Howell as well... I also have Aaron Baddley who had a cracking round of +7!!
Adam Scott is going steady and Chris Kirk had a nightmare on 1 hole after deciding to 4 putt from 23ft!!
Best round of the day for me is Freddie Jac who I have put money on but not put in my fantasy picks... lol (Rather have the money of a 70/1 shot than a back pack TBF) lol
At least Ryan Moore managed to finish under par but not a good day in the States for my selections, I've had my own clutching at straws bet with an old favourite of mine, Angel Cabrera at 100/1.
If Cabrera puts in a couple of good results, I'll be backing him at any 3 figure odds available ante post for The Masters.

Good Luck all!
