HERO WORLD CHALLENGE

BRANDT SNEDEKER 33/1 SkyBet

I always think that when you get these small field tournaments, it opens
it up to having a big priced player doing well. I think Snedeker has the
ability to spring a bit of a surprise. He’s had a bit of a break since
the Ryder Cup (he had 3 top 20s in the 5 tournaments before it) and only
came back after last week in the RSM, where hopefully he will have got
his eye back in and finished T45. He started there with a superb 66 and
that would do here, so I’ve also taken the 25/1 for 1st round leader.

ZACH JOHNSON 45/1 SkyBet

In keeping with my theory of outsiders, I’m going to chance Zach also.
I can’t say his form has been as good as Snedekers, he also had a break
after the Ryder Cup, and although he didn’t make the cut in the RSM, he
wasn’t disgraced with 2 rounds of 70 (-2). That’s the first cut he’s missed
sinc April last year. One thing he has going for him, was he finished T12
in this last year, but he joint led the tournament with an opening 66. That
would do for me this time around, so I’ll also have him at 33/1 in the 1st
round leader market.

I’ll have a look to see what other tournaments I’ll consider this week.
Good luck with your picks Darren. I think Patrick Reed has a great chance
too, he co-led the tournament with Johnson last year after the 1st round.
He’s 14s with Betfred and Betvictor in the 1st round betting market, he might
be worth a punt in that market too Darren

AUSTRALIAN PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

CAMERON SMITH 14/1 Betfred

I was going to leave this tournament out, but I’d have kicked myself
if my new pal Cameron gets his head in front. I’ve written enough about
him of late, so suffice to say I think he’s the real deal. I’ve also
taken the 25/1 1st round leader with Betfred, I think that’s a very
decent bet as Smith is an absolute birdie machine. It starts in just
over 2 hours, so it will give me a bit of fun checking him out this
evening, he’s an early starter at 6am (7pm our time).

BigG looks like no chance in Alfred Dunhill while Bubba going backwards in hero challenge Matsuyama in front as i write i wish i was on him this week.

But could be good news in Australia HAROLD VARNER a 40/1 bet only 2off the lead why Scott as well is 4off can see Dodt getting nervous start dropping a few and hope Varner or Scott take advantage.Any views on either events

[darren83]

A 40/1 winner very happy with VARNER in Australia pga open he play really well on sunday carded a 7under to finish with 19under and a 2shot win

[BigG]

You’re in brilliant form Darren, Varner was a terrific bet at 40/1

Matsuyama will waltz the Hero World Challenge, he’s 6 clear of the field
at the 10th at the moment. I’m hoping Snedeker can pick up a birdie or 2
to get into the place money (4 places). He’s joint 4th at the moment
with 4 others (your guy Watson is one of them Darren) at 11 under. I hope he
can nose ahead, the 1/4 of the 33s would cover the cost of my golf bets this
week. Fingers crossed as I crashed and burned with my horses this weekend

TOP STUFF with Varner Darren

YOU DA MAN!!

[darren83]

Thank you guys very happy i am

A shame this week is the last week of the golf season before the new year

[darren83]

My ante post tennis bets for 2017 only the French open no bet in it yet

MILOS RAONIC 25/1 To win Mens Australian open

Had a great 2016 he now 3rd in the world and last year in early part of the season won Brisbane and could of Beat Murray in semi final but lost in 5sets.Raonic can progress again in 2017 though he split from Carlos Moya i think he get over that and do well here

DOMINICA CIBULKOVA 33/1 Womens Australian open

Got beat in final by Li Na so has form here and end year in 2016 with glory in WTA Finals beat Kerber in final.With doubts over Serena and i feel Kerber not stay no1 with doubts over other top 5 players in terms of majors.Think she can end her major duck in Melbourne.

[darren83]

2bets for mens Wimbledon in 2017

MARIN CILIC 50/1 mens Wimbledon title

Cilic won in Cincinatti where he beat Murray in final that a big win by him and he has form here on grass.Won at Queens and play well at Wimbledon should of beat Federer last year.But a win over Novak in Paris will make him belive he can beat top players and those wins over Murray and
Djokovic and come Wimbledon Cilic be a big player.

JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO 25/1 Mens Wimbledon

Delpo has come back to great form won silver medal at Rio but also won Davis cup which Murray won and he become world no1 after having a great 12months.No reason why Delpo can’t have a 2017 like that.And this former semi finalist lost to Novak in a cracker.Del Potro can join Cilic in final.

PETRA KVITOVA 12/1 Win Womens wimbledon

A two time champion at Wimbledon she is proven on grass and 12/1 way to big for.I feel Serena not have a great 2017 while Kerber was in final last year i feel she not do well next year.
Madison Keys and Belinda Bencic 2others i like and nearer to time one of them may be added.

[darren83]

ROGER FEDERER 25/1 Win mens US Open

I think he got one major left in him why Wimbledon may be the best bet i feel the 25/1 is way to big for glory at US Open.He normally wins at Cincinatti and after a year where many of top players will have tough season i feel Fed will be more fresher and may play less events to be fresher for majors.

[Nathan Hughes]

Well done with your 40/1 shot Daz.
Ranoic has to kick on, 25’s is great price for Australia, will join you on that one.
Murray win Wimbledon mate he will

Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026

[darren83]

Bets for golf this week start in Hong Kong open

RAFA CABREA BELLO 16/1

Rafa had best season of his life this year last 4 in matchplay,Done well at Ryder cup but no title but i think this layout will suit him.Normally in Asia courses suit big hitting bombers.But here it favour short game wizards.RCB has improved on that part of game this year.And think he end year in style

MARCUS FRASER 80/1

Won in Malaysia already this year that course is like this one as well.And even though he been a bit quiet no reason why back on a course like this.Where he was 3rd in 2012 and joint 5th in 2014 can spring into life again.

DAVID LIPSKY 50/1

Won a few years ago on European tour on a course like this and he another short hitter who can thrive here was 6th in 2014.And recent form in Turkey was good as well

JEAUNHUNG WANG 28/1

Won two times on tour in 2016 what most impressive was that he won 2weeks in a row not many do that on european tour.And he lacks power but on a course like this that no issue for him and he can go well here.

[darren83]

JUSTIN THOMAS and SMYLIE KAUFMAN 6/1 To win Franklin Templeton shootout

This event normally go to a pair who make debut in event.And that not only reason i go for these 2.Both are good putters and set each other up for birdies.And they get on well with each other.And for me they can take this title

Any bets Raymo,Lionroars and BigG also G i remember last year you had Snedeker and Dufner at a nice price in this event you did you on them again.

[BigG]

You get an A+ for your memory Darren and I couldn’t desert SNEDS and DUFFNER
this time, although they are a good bit shorter this year at 5/1 with PP.
I’m also going to have a go with HOWELL AND SABBATINI, I think they could be
a good pairing at 18/1. Howell has been in decent form of late, T13 in the
RSM Classic last time out and T7 in the OHL Classic the week before. His
partner Sabbatini is a different kettle of fish, he has not impressed
recently but he is a streaky player who can hit a purple patch. He came
into this last year with equally unimpressive form, and hit an opening 62.
If they get on well together they might just give the others a fright.

Good luck with Thomas and Kaufman, they must have a good shout too

[darren83]

Good luck with those bets BigG

Any reason no bets in hong kong open i got Rafa he 3shots clear at halfway stage only worry for him is not find a lot for pressure when it comes to winning titles as they say in horseracing.

[BigG]

Good luck with Rafa Darren, I’ve bet him a few times in the past, pity I missed the
start of this, I got caught out with the time difference, or I might have given some
thought to him. I decided to wait until the half way stage and see how they are doing.
I think you have an amazing chance Darren, I don’t think Brazel will stay with him, so
that puts you 5 ahead of the field. I can’t bet anyone else to win, I think I’d be
throwing money away, but it might be worth having an e/w on someone near those at 6 under,
who without Brazel lead the charge to catch Rafa. I think JASON SCRIVENER, at
4 under is worth an e/w 3 places at 80/1, he might sneak into 2nd or 3rd.

I’ll be shouting Rafa on for you Darren, you’ve been bang on the money with your golf bets mate

[darren83]

BigG my pal Rafa had another wobble wish he not get that double bogey.But also got Lipsky at 50/1 still in there with a chance to.
