Darren’s Sports bets 2020

[raymo61]

Close but no cigar at both Tournies this week FOX and DAY both paced but hey ho at least I got some place money!

Blade I have accounts with PP BET365 SKYBET BETFAIR BOYLESPORTS LADBROKES 888 and HILLS. Used to bet with Corals and Betvictor too but not allowed with the any more. So I have a pretty broad selection to get on with

Thanks guys.

I am so busy with work, and travelling at the moment I’ve barely got time to look at the football, nevermind the horses, I would love to have a look a bit deeper into the golf. I am a sucker for a system, so I am sure I could while away a good few hours playing with stats and spreadsheets

I will try and get some of my own bets on this at some point, I would like to chip in with some punts. Hopefully next month might be a bit quieter on the work front.

Going great guns again with the tennis again this year Darren, keep it up mate

Yeah Raymo, similar story from me this week, Max Homa was one off the outright lead
in 2nd at Spyglass, e/w at 30/1 so it more or less covered all bets at Pebble Beach.
I thought I was in with a shout for the overall leader 1st round in the Vic Open with
Dodt who was 5 under with 6 to play. 3 shots dropped in the next 3 holes scuppered that
Disappointing this week but overall I’ve still got my nose in front.

I’ll post up my bets for the Genesis Open shortly guys

[BigG]

Genisis Invitational

Adam Scott 33/1 (35/1 1st round leader market)

He’s not a player I’ve backed a lot, in fact rarely as although he has a great game
he doesn’t always turn it on and has lost more than he should when in the driving
seat. He looked to have found his way back when he won the Ozzie PGA back in December.
He’s had a bit of a break, but he was runner up in this back in 2016 after a similar
break. One swallow doesn’t make a summer, but I’m hoping this return to winning form
might be the start of Scott making his mark again this year.

Patrick Reid 40/1 (45/1 1st round leader market)

He’s in a rich vein of form at the moment with 4 top 10s out of his last 5 tournaments,
including runner up in the Sentry last month and 3rd in the Hero World Challenge. He used
to be quite a hot head but I think he manages to keep it in check much better now. I think
he’s good value at 40/1 here.

Sungjae Im 60/1 (50/1 1st round leader market)

I know I’ve said it before, but he’s a winner waiting to happen. He’s been close,
and although only 1 top 10 in his 4 tournaments this year, he ran up plenty of top
10s throughout last year. He’s got plenty of time at only 21years old, but I think
he’s going to get that win sooner rather than later. I hope it’s this week and I
think he’s good value for the 1st round betting, he gets off to a flyer more times
than not.

Joaquin Niemann 90/1 (75/1 1st round leader market)

He’s another in the young brigade that I think we’ll be hearing plenty off in the
coming years, and he’s already managed his 1st win at the Greenbrier. Only 1 top
10 out of 3 this year, but every chance of improving on that here.

Just the one tournament this week with nothing doing on the European tour. Last week
was a bit of a damp squib, hoping we can pick it up again this week guys

[raymo61]

Disappointing that there is only one that I am interested this week but the Genesis allows me to bet more players LOL

GENESIS INVITATIONAL

J THOMAS 10/1
P CANTLAY 20/1
K NA 66/1
T GOOCH 300/1
SI WOO KIM 400/1

All each way and all eight places too!!
I have had a couple of small interests on betfair in the hope they start well and let me have em both ways when they shorten LOL

T GOOCH 570
K NA 110

Good Luck Guys

[darren83]

[Middle_Of_March]

Morning lads. Good to see yous all doing well once again with the tennis and the golf.

Had some bets for the Genesis Invitational this week:

– 3 pts E/W Rory Mcilroy @ 8/1
– 2 pts E/W Jon Rahm @ 12/1
– 1.2 pts E/W Bubba Watson @ 22.0 (10 places Betfair Exchange)
– 0.8 pts E/W Xander Shauffele @ 33/1

Also done:

– 0.4 pts Xander Shauffele 1st round leader @ 33/1
– 0.4 pts Bubba Watson 1st round leader @ 35/1

Then had 2 points on Rory and Bubba winning their day 1 3-balls

Total stake – 20 points

Good luck all

Good to see you back in here MOM, best of luck with your selections

[Middle_Of_March]

Thanks BigG. Good luck with yours too.

I see me old chum Kuch is 5 under. I couldn’t possibly let him win. This would be the first tournament I haven’t backed him in where I’ve had bets on in about 4 years.

So I’ve added him at 18/1. Each way 6 places for 1.5 points E/W. I’d just kick myself for weeks if he won on the one occasion I wasn’t on him. He’s notoriously better on weekends so I actually think at 5 under through 14 holes, 18s is actually a very fair price.

Good to see Rory starting well though. I’m expecting a big tournament from him this week. Thought 8/1 was incredible with his recent record tbh.

[BigG]

That 18/1 looks pretty big for Kuch now MOM, you’d be kicking yourself
now if you hadn’t stepped in. Nice one

[darren83]

Raymo your bet on Kim on 400/1 going well 2nd now birdie 1st 3holes in round 2

[raymo61]

Its moving day

Looks like we are all chasing MOM !! (Good to see you on here again MOM )

I will be happy if Kim gets placed Darren LOL

[BigG]

I was hoping that Adam Scott might have got off to a flyer in his 3rd round, but
he’s dropped 1 with 2 played. He had a great round yesterday, 7 under, but he
will need something similar if he’s to have a chance. I’ve been a fan of Sebastian
Munoz for a while, and I’ve been tempted to include him yesterday as he’s playing well.
He was 3 under for his round after 4 holes, but he’s dropped one at the 7th. Even so
I’d kick myself if I didn’t have a go so he’s 6 under and 4 off the pace and I’ve
taken 50/1 4 places. As I’m typing this Scott has just birdied to get back to 6 under,
hopefully one of them can make a move.

MOM your man Kucher is still up there and has picked up a birdie with 3 played, he’s
going well. Raymo I was hoping your huge priced 400/1 shot Kim would have got off to
a good start, and he’s doing well enough 1 under for his round after 5. If you could
get him into the money that’s like a 100/1 outright winner.

Best of luck guys

[raymo61]

I still have my fingers crossed with Kim Graham
However have laid Gooch at 130 on the machine so he wins either way now and I am even whatever happens but I would sooner Gooch or Kim getting placed LOL

[BigG]

That’s them finished now and although your man Kim needs a bit of a miracle tomorrow
Raymo, Gooch is within range of a place if he plays a decent round. I’m pleased to
see that Scott has given me something to shout about tomorrow and MOM has Kuch up
there too. I wouldn’t rule out Matsuyama making a move either for Darren. It’s nice
to have the whole team in there pitching

[Middle_Of_March]

Good luck tomorrow lads.

I’m happy to have Kuch and Rory up the top with one round to go but there’s a long way to go.
