Gotta hate this thread sometimes though when you look back and see things like
"2) Bubba Watson 33/1 £1 ew
Nearly put him in my outrights but after his 83 or whatever in his last outing decided an FRL bet was safer. Leftie which is always good for round Augusta."
Which is worse, fancying someone strongly, not backing him and then watching him win, or watching a golfing major and not fancying any of the players in the top 5?
For me....
Bubba Watson - Naaaahhh, too many doubts about the his inconsistency and frailty of mind.
Jordan Spieth - Naaaaahhhhh, very good player, but too young with no major experience and more importantly no experience of Augusta.
Jonas Blixt - Naaaaahhhhh, never played the Masters before and done nothing all year.
Miguel Angel Jiminez - Naaaaaahhhhh, never really contended here when he was a his peak, too old to compete in a Major now and anyway he always misses the cut when I back him.
Rickie Fowler - Naaaaahhhhhh, on his way back from a swing change, not been putting great, The Masters is too soon for Rickie, I backed him a couple of weeks ago and he was rubbish.
Time for a break I think, especially when Dohhhhhhhh comes on here and makes a profit!
OK, so after last weeks mentalness we are back to the regular tournament schedule.
Malaysian Open
Gregory Bourdy 50/1 - Bang in form, got good course history here, so I jumped on early doors and got 50/1 that seemed ridiculous value. He is now best priced 40/1.
Richie Ramsay - 40/1 - Very much in form as well, doesn't have any battle scars from Augusta last week. Doesn't have any course history here so I'm hoping form alone is enough.
RBC Hertiage
Zach Johnson - 22/1 - This is a very tight fiddly course, which demands not only hitting fairways, but the right part of the fairways, and there aren't much better at that than Zach Johnson.
Charley Hoffman 40/1 - I was on Charley here last year when he went into the final round with a 3 shot lead, only to blow it and finish T6! Hopefully he can overcome those demons!
Well I took a break from the golf yesterday morning and now I'm back in search of my mojo:
Malaysian Open
Gregory Bourdy 50/1 - Bang in form, got good course history here, so I jumped on early doors and got 50/1 that seemed ridiculous value. He is now best priced 40/1. (Ok I copy / pasted Flash's description, but I backed Bourdy yesterday)
Danny Willett 33/1 - In an out of form and has been struggling with a dodgy back. But well rested and very good course form.
AnibarnLahri 70/1 - One of the top players on the Asian tour, got amongst the big names and finished top 5 in The Thailand Open last December and was part of the Asian team that played so well against Europe in Malaysia last month. His confidence is high and so his price.
RBC Heritage
Billy Horschel 70/1 - Went big on him a few weeks ago and then watched as virtually every golfing tipster picked him in one event or another. Each time Billy failed miserably. I gave up on him after 3 attempts.
However, I thought on the quiet he handled Augusta National very well, whilst his key stats remain very high and on a course that should play to his strengths, I'm tempted once more to back Billy Horschel at a more than generous price.
Chris Stroud 50/1 - He didn't play in The Masters so no battle scars there, he's had a very good season and looks to be trending (new phrase I've picked up on) in the right direction. Also 6th here last year, feels like the weeks dark horse most likely to succeed.
Russell Knox 90/1 - Another having a very good season, he's doing all the key things like hitting fairways and greens more often than most, he can also get the putter hot and put in the odd record low round. Not played here before but his game should be very well suited.

Cheers Captain, I **** love SkyPoker :-)
Just deliberating if I should tell my wife that 'we' haven't really been losing on the golf, I had in fact been squirrelling our money away in a Sky savings plan to treat her to an ipad.
I'm with you on Lee Westwood.
The next major is The US OPEN, starts June 12th, Westwood is currently a best priced 50/1.
After my win in the Masters I'm tempted to go again, but will probably just leave it as I wont be watching it this weekend. I'll post the tips I used last week again here incase any of you are stuck. Deffo the best out there.... http://www.golfpuntersguide.com/home-page/rbc-heritage-betting-tips-2014 Posted by splashies
Just checked this guy's tips out and see that he picks 2 of my 3 at The Heritage, so hope he lives up to your billing this week.
Gavin Green at the Malaysian Open is an interesting participant this week.
He's a local 20 year old amateur who has tremendous potential.
His cv includes such snippets as:
At aged 13 became the youngest player to play in an Asian Tour Event
Played college golf with the likes of Jordan Speith and recently said he doesn't think there is a big difference in ability between himself, Jordan Speith and others of their generation, though recognized for the time being Jordan Speith was far superior in mental ability / maturity.
Recently won a prestigious college event in USA.
Finished 22nd in this event last year.
Says that he and his dad have done a lot of work on course analysis ahead of this years event.
The following bets are available and I like the look of the top 20 and 3 ball prices and maybe the FRL.
3 Ball is with Siem and Quiros Siem has been very inconsistent this year, I like Quiros and he is rightly favorite in this 3 Ball, but Quiros is not always the most consistent himself. Local big hitter Gavin Green at 14/5 looks OK to me
Top 20 = 8/1 Top 10 = 22/1 Outright = 250/1 FRL - 150/1
Back to porridge this week. I binked a small footie acca with the irish bookie with a free bet so all my bets are with them this week. RBC Heritage Outrights Bill Haas 40/1 Paul Casey 100/1 FRL's Pat Perez 50/1 Patrick Reed 50/1 Malaysia Outrights A Canizares 40/1 Cabrera Bello 22/1 FRL's Richie Ramsey 40/1 Michael Hoey 66/1 All just £1 ew Still got my skybet £5 free bet to use might go kuchar or save for an in play bet but I'll post it up later. Congrats Dart on the Ipad bink. Posted by jdsallstar
Sigh forgot to hit the "bet" button. Hoey sitting 3rd in frl market too!
No bets on euro tour then and same bets for RBC except added casey in frl at 80/1 £1 ew.
Ended up with 3rd 4th 5th and 2 others in top ten in Masters, but rather than back EW i like to bet to win and if its coming close i can lay some off.
I sat down on Sunday night with the Betfair exchange set up ready to start laying some off my players off as there prices (Westwood , Jiminez, Fowler, Senden of the ones i can remember but it just couldn,t have gone any worse from the 1st hole with the players i hadn,t backed picking up shots and didn,t manage to lay one bet off
WD to those who won though
I decided to sign up to Sky sports for a while so i could get the Masters for the first few days and was going to cancel after it had finished but just watching the RBC now so come on here for some tips
Didn,t realise the Malaysian was on afte the PGA Tour so heres my bets/tips for that one
Was going to lump on Westwood at 2/1 best and looking even less confident with his putting i cant see any value there so gone for some of the field instead

EDIT _ Sigh - Now Westwoods putting everything
RE-EDIT - lol - Just realised i was watching highlights so my prices are the same which is something
( Gr8 value as he,s only 41/1 on the Exchanges and you can even lay him at 50/1 , so if anyones got a few quid go to oddschecker at see where the price differences are)
Bit late putting my bets in this week. Not really got any that stand out for me this week which is never a good sign. So what I've done is decided to spend money on it anyway.
Volvo China - Looks like a mixed course but with quite a few long par 4's, so considering there is no course history I've gone with the bombers with a big hitting outsider...
Nicholas Colsaerts - 20/1
Alvaro Quiros - 50/1
Alexander Levy - 125/1
Zurich Classic - A course that's used year after year, which makes you think there should be some players with good course history. I had a look through and there is very little consistency. I decided Webb Simpson would be the best bet with course history and recent form. Then found out he wasn't playing, so decided not to bet on him in the end.
Nice post Flash, brought a bit of humor to a thread that's been a bit thin on laughs recently.
Good Luck
Volvo China Open is very tricky this week, interested to see you've gone for the bombers, my 'analysis' lead me to go for the shorter hitting players in the field this week, with the onus on accuracy over length.
I had Colsaerts down at 25/1 and then crossed him off.
I have also been waiting for the right event for Quiros, but decided this course might not play to his strengths.
