    Actually, it nearly makes 3 of us. If I have a glass of wine with a meal when we’re out
    that’s about me. Like you bladebaster I used to like a bit of a bevy when I was in my late
    teens/early 20s, but that wasn’t yesterday, or yesterdecade for that matter. We’d still have
    a ball, drink or no drink, if the 3 of us got together :good:

    Golf bets just coming up Darren.

    Handa Vic Open

    Just realised that the round has started with the time difference, but I’ve
    already got them on earlier. 2 of mine have started, Scrivener is level after
    1 hole and Dodt, who I backed in my last effort down under, is 1 under after 3.
    Here they are

    Jason Scrivener 16/1 (18/1 1st round leader market, Creek Course)
    An old favourite and probably the class in the field.

    Connor Syme 28/1 (25/1 1st round leader market 25/1 \, Creek course)
    I backed Connor a couple of times after his terrific rounds in the Scottish Open, I
    think it was last but 1 tournament. He’s been playing a bit down under and he might
    just show he is a very decent golfer on his day.

    Andrew Dodt 40/1 (30/1 1st round leader market, Creek Course)

    A lot of the players down under i don’t know particularly well, but I did back
    Dodt a while back. He was in contention a couple years back in the scottish open,
    that’s when I got a good look at him and he could have won with a better final
    round but showed he could play in the wind, and apparantly it is going to be windy.
    He’s not far off with a top 20 finish in the Ozzie PGA last time out.

    Ben Eccles 125/1 (40/1 1st round leader market, Beach Course)

    I scrambled to find as much info as I could and from what I can gather Eccles knows
    his way round here with his eyes shut. He’s rated a bit and could go well at a
    huge price with Betfred.

    I’ll update my Pebble Beach bets later tonight. Hope we can keep the winners going :good:

    Pebble Beach Pro Am

    Branden Grace 28/1 (22/1 1st round leader market, Spyglass Course)

    Has hit a rich vein of form at the moment, T3 before his Christmas break in the
    Alfred Dunhill Championship and then bettered that on his return last month where
    he played great golf, finishing with a sizzling 62 when winning the SA Open. He
    has a great easy going temperament and I think all the fuss with the celebs/amateurs
    that can upset those that need to “stay in the zone* (Tiger) won’t upset his natural
    flow. I think he should do well here

    Max Homa 50/1 (30/1 1st round leader market, Spyglass Course)

    Definitely a player in form with top 10s in his last 2 starts at the farmers and
    the Phoenix. He goes into this in better form than last year, and he managed T10
    last year so hopefully he can better that this time.

    Beau Hossler 150/1 (35/1 1st round leader market, Monterey Course)

    He didn’t have a great tournament last time out at the Phoenix, he made the cut but
    that was about all. However he looked a lot better the week before with a top 10 at
    the Farmers. Players tend to love or hate the format here, Mickelson, DJ et al, and
    Beau started last year as if he meant business with 2 rounds of 69. He made a pigs
    ear at the Pebble beach course in the 3rd round and that was as far as he got. You
    might on the face of it think Pebble Beach course doesn’t suit his eye, and that would
    be a problem as you play twice there including the final round, but if you flip back
    to 2 years back, he started at Pebble Beach and hit a bogey free 7 under par. That’s
    a great score for PB, and he’s no 150/1 shot in my book.

    Sebastian Cappelen 250/1 (80/1 1st round leader market, Spyglass)

    He’s been on the Korn Ferry Tour, and trying to make his mark on the PGA this year.
    He just missed the cut last week at the Phoenix, but he was T6 in the American Express
    last month and just outside the top 20 in the Farmers. To be honest I’d never heard of
    the guy before I saw him in the American Express where he played 4 really good rounds
    of golf. It might be asking a lot of him at this stage, but he can play a bit and when
    I clocked Skybet were going 250/1 8 places I couldn’t turn that down.

    That’s me done for this week guys, hopefully we can get a decent return :good:

    So we’re halfway through the 3rd round Vic Open, and I was over the moon with the way
    Eccles was going. He got to 10 under with 5 to play, I was hoping he might pick up a
    couple more and he wouldn’t be far off the lead. Fast forward and he’s gone and done
    it dropping 4 shots in the last 5 and looks like missing the last day’s cut :wacko:
    I’m keeping a check on them and my man Scrivener at 3 under for his round after 11
    holes is doing well and is hugely over priced at 80/1 4 places at 8 under. I’ve had
    another heafty bite at that. Darren and Raymo, your man Fox isn’t out of it either
    at 9 under in the clubhouse, so we’re all in with a bit of a shout down under :good:

    Bets for tennis this week start in Holland

    STEFANOS TSISTIPAS 6/1 ATP Rotterdam

    The court indoors this week be more slower but the god from Greece have no issues on that score top player on clay can handle conditions.Has Hurkacz up 1st that tricky but expect him beat him.Shapalov and Auger Allisame could be waiting but feel to good enough for them.

    GILES SIMON 50/1

    Could get Monfills who won this event last year but every chance fact won last week be hard for back to back wins.After that could be Khachanov in last 8 and Simon may not have to face Medvedev in last 4

    ELINA SVITOLINA 16/5 WTA Thailand open

    After seeing boyfriend Monfills win yesterday every chance she can follow up here suprise see power chalk her up 2nd fave.Yes form not best so far but can outclass this field.Bouchard is back to form but doubt beat Elina while Wang who beat Serena be hardest rival in last 4.

    DONNA VEKIC 16/1 WTA ST Petersburg open

    With Bencic and Kvitova keeping a eye on Dubai next week where got to final every chance Vekic can win this week.Lost final here last year but play ok in oz open.Last 8 clash with Kvitova then maybe Bertens but she is improving can win here.

    MILOS RAONIC 100/30 ATP New york open

    Big servers won here last 2years can be 3 here with back to form Raonic got to last 8 in Australia has Kwon up 1st a tricky match but then next seed be Edmund who not start year great.While Humbert next not certain get that far expect Milos win this trophy

    MARCO CECCHINATO 20/1 ATP Argentina open

    No reason to suggest not defend his title here avoids Garin and Schwartzman in other half he got Rudd in 2nd match if win opener be tough that as Rudd loves clay and while Laijov and Pella be in later rounds he can win this title again.

    which bookie do you use for your tennis and golf bets please guys, Paddy Power prices are always way lower than you are getting.

    Cheers.

    Bets for Genesis open

    PATRICK CANTLAY 20/1

    For me a track to look at for form clues is the memorial open so have to be onside winner from that event last year.This player a member of top ten in world he loves this venue was 4th to Bubba and been showing decent form this season and can emerge with trophy in hands.

    BUBBA WATSON 25/1

    Biggest danger could be this guy a 3time winner here last time won here was in bad form but showed his class here with cosy 2shot win.This year has starred at Farmers and Phoniex open where he was 6th and 3rd.Everything set for bold run here again.

    HIDECKI MATSUYAMA 28/1

    No win since 2017 which for a player like him is unheard of one of best ball strikers in the game while no top tens this year so far he has shown glimmers of hope that form is coming back finish year off in strong style.And form here to was 4th in 2015 and 9th last year.

    CAMERON CHAMP 100/1

    A MC here last year but now arrives here in better form and a 2time champion on PGA Tour he is and played eyecatching golf in Farmers and while things not go well here last year this track is ideal for him.

    JASON KOKRAK 125/1

    Still a maiden and no one knows why maybe putts on sunday not going in is main reason was 2nd here in 2016 while no more top tens here a reason to suggest this track could be one for him break that duck.

    Good luck guys this week and to you as well Blade if having a bet hope you let us know who you on to

    I do all my bets online Blade, I have accounts with Bet365, Betvictor, Paddy Power,
    Skybet, Boylesports, Betfred and William Hill. I used to have accounts with Coral
    Ladbrokes and Racebets, but they won’t take my bets anymore. It gives me decent
    options and I find it handy that I can stick a bet on at any time of day.
