The Masters wrap I did get the favourites right with Sheffler winning from Cam Smith and Dustin Johnson top ten. Some of our roughies made a showing Harry Higgs ($1000) was in it for a long way and his T28 was promising. Min Woo Lee ($800) shot 30 for the front nine In The last round and although he dropped

The Masters The big dance, one of the real golf weeks, the Masters held as usual at Augusta National, the brainchild of Robert Tyre Jones, the immortal. The facts. The course was designed on an old large nursery of beautiful trees, rhododendrons, azaleas and other exotic flowers on an extremely hilly site featuring Rae’s Creek running through the lower

Review of last weeks golf tips Cheekily mentioning the Kevin Kisner tip ($60) who ran second last week in the limited field Dell Matchplay.

Review of last weeks golf tips Last week, I offered two scenarios for betting on PGA Tour Golf. Adam Scott ($51 each way) a winner of 6.5 times investment and Viktor Hovland ($26 each way) a winner at 3.25 times investment. Sufficient for a profitable week following this philosophy. But over time, the vagaries of golf and the short prices of

Review of last weeks golf tips Backawinners, our special bet last week Whitney Hillier compounded in the last round and unfortunately a blank week. This week is a season wind down with the Hero challenge an invitation event, the South African Open decimated by the anagram of Moronic, Omnicron, so a very quiet betting week. Laguna Phuket Championship The Asian tour,

Review of last weeks golf tips Backawinners, a couple of near misses!  Tyler McCumber($700) ran fourth and Nana Koertz Madsen ($151 each way)  ran sixth. In the new year when the circus stops we might look at a slightly different strategy, each way on Betfair allows ten places, or backing more each way on bet 365 as we are finding tremendous

Review of last weeks golf tips Well,Backawinners another winning week, but what could have been. Kevin Tway ($1000) ran second, only a record last round by Jason Kokrak stopped a massive week. Martin Trainer ($1500 each way) led into the last round didn’t win, but tied for fifth, still a massive payday ($375 the place). Pornanong Phatlum ($750 each way) played

Backawinners, opportunity to Arbitrage Backawinners-Opportunity Our tips Martin Trainer- $1500 each way -10 Kevin Tway-$1000 (-9) are first and second, let’s assume you’ve had $15000/10 each way and $10,000 to $10. My suggestion Lay $100 against Martin to win $100/$1550 let the place run unless you can also lay the place (5 places only). Lay $100 against Kevin Tway-$100/$1100
