In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2014 Season! (The Open Championship) : Np Mr Wynne.... Though u might have been better advised to follow Darty or Flashy.. Gl Posted by joesman1
Very wise choice Mr. Wynne, Neil's 'the man' at the moment, even his 'left field' pick looks a solid pick.
We are either going to be very happy or blaming The Dart if not. I had also already thought Fowler(I always do him anyway LOL) and Manassero looked good bets. also interest in Stenson, Furyk, oleson and Karlson Posted by vaigret
These are tips I will follow as well! 1pt e.w. Jim Furyk at 66/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6) 1pt e.w. Brandt Snedeker at 66/1 (Coral 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6) 2pts e.w. Graeme McDowell at 28/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) 1pt e.w. Dustin Johnson at 40/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6) 0.5pt e.w. Brendan Steele at 350/1 (Boylesports 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6) 3pts win Thongchai Jaidee to be Top Asian at 6/1 (Ladbrokes, BetVictor) 1pt e.w. Jimmy Walker to be the Top American at 33/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4) 1pt e.w. Oliver Fisher to be Top GB & Ireland at 80/1 (Stan James 1/4 1,2,3,4) 1pt e.w. Darren Clarke to be Top GB & Ireland at 100/1 (Stan James 1/4 1,2,3,4) 0.5pt e.w. Bradley Neil to lead after round one at 300/1 (General 1/4 1,2,3,4,5,6) 0.5pt e.w.

Nice portfolio there Mr. Wynne, hopefully keep you interested well into Sunday afternoon.
The skybet guy made a very strong case for investing in Bradley Neil last night, that FRL bet looks interesting.
As the self proclaimed king of 'left field' golf betting, I can't be out done by Neil and his Ryan Palmer bet, so have dug up one of my own.
There is some history of relatively unknown Americans turning up at The open and seemingly coming out of nowhere to finishing top 5 or even winning the tournament.
Todd Hamilton and Ben Curtis are fairly recent winners and players like Chad Campbell and Brandt Snedeker achieved top 5's when priced at 250/1.
Particularly as the weather forecast seems to be suggesting a strong wind for much of the tournament, I think there's a case for going left field and checking out a few of those lesser named Americans who are comfortable playing in the wind.
Not wishing to stereotype, but that theory suggests a good local Texan would fit the profile.
This is by no means a conclusive list, but Texans I'm aware of and their best available prices:
Jordan Spieth - 45/1 - massive talent and growing name in the world of golf so maybe not leftfield but dismissed by many this week, as not having the necessary experience to compete. To the contrary he declares that growing up in Texas he learnt how to control the ball flight in the wind and has links experience from his Junior days, he's only 20 so that's not that long ago!
Jimmy Walker - 100/1 - three time winner on the PGA Tour this season, but still a relatively unknown and underrated player to much of the British public, so a win for Walker would likely be leftfield in that it would be a good result for the bookies.
Patrick Reed - 200/1 - Two time winner on tour including a World Golf Championship. Not short of confidence, ranked 30th in the world, infamously declared earlier this year that he thought he was a world top 5 player. Slightly leftfield as he is not a household name in the UK and the fact that he has been pushed out ot 200/1 means he is likely to be another one that would be in the bookies corner.
Ryan Pamler - 250/1 - As selected by Neil, his best form as come in windy conditions, he has a top 10 in The Masters, so can keep it together on the big stage. Lost a play off on the PGA Tour earlier this year. Played in the Scottish Open last week, so ticks a lot of the right boxes. Is known to get off to a flyer, so could be worthy of a FRL dabble.
Chris Stroud - 400/1 - Now we are talking leftfield! Stroud has never won on the PGA Tour, but he is close and is having his best season to date. I recently came across an interview where he said he was looking forward to The Open, like many other Texans declaring that he hoped the wind blows and that he grew up playing on a course which was very similar to links conditions and thought he had a really good short game to do well at The Open. He also stated that he thought his first win was very close and was excited about having the chance to get that first win in The Open. Naivity maybe, leftfield potential definitely!
Justin Leonard - 500/1 - Former Open winner, possibly struggles these days due to his lack of length. Still achieved two top 10's ealier this season and has made his last 5 cuts, though finished way down the field. Lack of length this week isn't likely to be an issue, so course and wind conditions will play to his strengths, maybe not the forlorn no hoper I originally had him down as this week and maybe MP33's bet wasn't as daft as I initially thought it was
If the wind blows as forecast and any of these guys are making a move up the leaderboard it may well be worth keeping an eye on them for the 'In Running' market.
Antepost I'm going leftfield and backing Chris Stroud - 400/1 ew first 6.

lol - U never know - 1 good round on 1st day or 2nd and its extra interest for watching it . Did 2 more bets today - 1 on Speith at 45,s and Bjorn at 89,s. Just rememebred Jimmy walker at 109/1 . Must have 10-12 players covered so will leave it for now apart from the £10 FB inplay on coral
STOP THE OPEN 11am on first day four of my players top the leaderboard all downhill from here Posted by vaigret
lol - Got 5 players under par but none on 1st page of lederboard.
Decided to stick my in play freebet on my fav foreigner as i had him last year for the dbl with the Scottish so i should show a bit of faith :
Your bet has now been placed
Single
Phil Mickelson28/1The Open Championship 2014 -17/07/2014
Stake £0.00 (Free Bet £10.00)
Estimated Return:£280.00
As all my bets are on outright winners decided to have £10 at 5/2 that someone will shoot -8 or better today - Theres always one and if not i,m sure it will be close
EDIT : Just looking through tips on thsi thread and bets and i can,t see anyone winning who no -ones covered so someone has to win . Hopefully someone a few of us have backed
Got ooztenhouzen and Rose elsewhere but its to easy to get carried away with golf. You can make a case for most players , hence why the only betting i,ll be doing now is laying (hopefully0
So easy to get carried away with golf - can make some sort of case for most players and theres always been been long shots win this - Todd Hamilton, Ben Curtis (50/1 on the Sunday) , Cink (almost Tom watson) , Ooztenpuizen, John daly so deffo no more bets - Went for the -8 or better at 5/2 just in case Rory spoils all my bets

For me the week leading up to The Open, is all about cramming in some research, be it course conditions, weather forecasts, tee times, recent player form, course form and keeping tabs on the movement in the market, trying to strike when the best odds are on offer. Monday, looked like being a day of sit and wait, but the first bet of Open week has been placed! Matteo Mannessero - 125/1 (6 places), considering he has already won 4 times on tour, it seems incredible than he only turned 21 in April tihis year. With all the hype the media like to build around young super talents, it seems equally incredible that Mannessero stays relatively low under the media radar. He minds his own business, makes a lot of cuts, cruises along for a few months and then suddenly everything clicks into place and he strikes for the win. Last year he won the PGA Championship at Wentworth, that's a big deal at any stage in a pro's career but to do it at 20 years old proves he is a special talent, with the confidence and belief to take on the very best on the biggest stages in golf. Last week without really being in contention, he was an eye catching 4th at the Scottish Open, so the links game is ready. In the 2009 Open, as a 16 year old amateur he finished tied 13th just 4 shots behind Cink and Tom Watson, so he's shown he can handle tough conditions in the worlds greatest tournament. I don't really understand why he appears to be friendless in the betting markets this week, well at 125/1 6 places, Matteo can be my friend for the week. Posted by TheDart
This is my man, back him every tourne ! 150-1 yesterday happy hour on sky.
Spieth has taken all the attention away from him. Spieth is ripping it up and has more of a personality, loves a little tantrum and loves abit of media and interviews. Matteo seems like a quiet grounded guy who just loves to play golf !
Hope its windy and rainy tomorrow morning and the sun comes out for him
The early starters clearly had the advantage yesterday and looks like going off this afternoon, that same group of players are going to have an even greater advantage today.
For me, Baldwin's already gone and needing a big round but going out in the worst conditions, probably means Willett has also gone.
Well placed but in the wrongside of the draw I've got Lowry and Cabrera-Bello, which suggests they had two of the best rounds of the day yesterday, but can the beat the weather again today?
In the right side of the draw I'm still hoping Casey and GMac can get back in to it on Day 2.
On the plus side, I'm happy with Mannesero (worried with a 1.05 tee time, he may still catch the worst conditions), Fowler and Walker.
I said (to myself), that if Stenson goes out to 20/1 I'd have a saver on him, well he's now 45/1 and with an afternoon tee time, 6 back is by no means out of it, but going out in probably the best conditions, what will Rory do today, Jim Furyk and Sergio are looking good and will Tiger's game hold up in the wind? I'll leave Henrik in the wait and see bracket.
Trying to preempt the weather and exaggerating the interest today, I've had a few 'End of Round Leader' bets for day 2.
Jimmy Walker - 35/1
and speculative ew's on Hunter Mahan and Kristoffer Broberg at 125/1
The cut mark is currently +1, I wonder what it will be at the conclusion of play, +4 or even +5?
Fascinating stuff, love it, watching the worlds greatest golfers playing links golf and struggling in the wind.
I've done no research this week at all, I have been busy with other things and just not really had my head in the golf world for a while now. I had a quick skim through the odds, and I saw Ryan Moore was as long as 150/1, I thought he was in decent form, and after checking on the PGA website he has indeed finished 5th and 7th in his last 2 tournaments. As I went to place the bet his odds changed from 150/1 right down to 80/1! So I had to take 125/1 from a different bookies. Like I said, no research, so I'm just going to stick with the 1 bet this week. Posted by FlashFlush
Phhh, one pick from 156 players, you show off!
Still a long way to go, but very impressive ONE bet at the half way stage.
