Weir over Leonard -110

More of a play against Leonard, as a play for Weir. My biggest play so far this year. That doesn't really mean as much as it sounds.

SAN DIEGO (AP) ? Steve Duplantis, a popular PGA Tour caddie known for bringing out the best in players, was killed early Wednesday when he was struck by a taxi while crossing a street.

Duplantis was in Del Mar when he stepped off a center median and into the path of a taxi, said Sgt. Randy Webb of the San Diego Sheriff's Department. The 35-year-old Duplantis was pronounced dead on the scene.

He was working at the Buick Invitational for Eric Axley.

A spirit after hours and regarded among the best caddies inside the ropes, he previously won four times with Jim Furyk early in his career, with Rich Beem at the Kemper Open and with Tommy Armour III when he set the PGA Tour scoring record at the Texas Open in 2003.

Axley was not immediately available for comment, and several other players for whom Duplantis worked were playing the pro-am Wednesday at Torrey Pines.

The mood was somber on the putting green, where some caddies were waiting on their players.

"He was a throwback," caddie Patrick Smith said. "He raised the level of every player he worked for. He could take guys who were marginal and they would play well."

Duplantis and his nightlife exploits were prominently featured in a book titled, Bud, Sweat and Tees, a story primarily about Beem.

"Regardless of his reputation, he was a great caddie and didn't have a bad bone in him," caddie Mark Chaney said.

:nooo:

--and just what did you plan to gain from that?
--bet they void them now--
I made a mistake dogs. I was running the firefox search feature with the pga tours tee times (didnt realize they had day 1 and day 2 on the same page)

They never had guys playing separate courses paired against each other. That would have been a horrible mistake.

Generally they do----generally get miss matches on courses--and tees-none yet this year--but get several throughout course of year without having them voided.

Best approach--say nothing--make your normal wager (don't load the wagon) and there is no prob. In fact if you want to post some as selections--just wait till just before tee off --and few will notice.

A lesson I learned years back--books will let you steal a little but not a lot. Have seen the days of place only wagers at 1/4 win go--have seen in running place go--we need to protect the books that have nads to put up something besides the Euro -ties lose and 3balls.

Look at # of unregistered lurkers here before tee off some time--I can tell you with some degree of certainty a few are Euro linesmakers and some other heavy hitters--and if you find profitable angle and expose it--they will burn it out in a heart beat.
Trust me on that.

I know what your saying man. Occasionally they get tee times mixed up and will leave matchups on the board as well.. or so ive been told Didn't mean to rat it out like that.. believe me i know when to keep silent. MY bad and best of luck this week.

hope I didn't come off wrong ABC--

I learned the hard way--Have participated in UK forum for years--Has most the Euro linersmakers on it-and some some pretty sharp people in general.

Was same tourney--same situation bout 4 years ago.After lenghty # of post on tourney I was laughing to myself that they had all missed the obvious @ 365 (one of their euro books) they had North vs South matches up for about a day and a half and lines hadn't even moved. I couldn't resist gigging these "experts" on inabilty to see the obvious--however forgot Pacific Tee times and posted fact too early. They flat out aniallated 365 on wagers before they could take them down-and 365 being stand up book ate it- and honored wagers.

I can't ever remember feeling worse about anything--regarding sportsbooks.Bothers me to this day that I was such an idiot--to let self gratification overcome good judgement. :(

Yea i understand what you were saying, the reason i mentioned it was because i figured they were smart enough to realize that when setting the lines. Otherwise its their own fault. As far as posting a wrong tee time or goofing up and putting am instead of pm or something like that for a line then thats an honest mistake. I usually keep book errors to myself.. and will from now on. :0corn

Weather should be an interesting factor this week.

Here are my selections as of now:

T. Clark over G. Ogilivy (tournament) - Even - Laying one unit to win one unit.

J Kelley - Top 5 - +1600 - Laying 1/2 unit to win 8 units.

Good luck!

Good man ABC--I'll repay you with a little secret-when you were asking about accessing info of players on tourneys from past years last week--would something like this be beneficial--if say you wanted to know tigers stats on north south and tourney in 06--
