Shell Houston Open

Ian, Multisports also have finishing position props and they are two-way rather than three-way

They will be a very welcome return to the online community if they can get over the First Stake debacle

1837, I would lean to your picks in all your matchups and even wish I had -145 on Duval when I played it. The one I would be most careful would be the Toms-Appleby play, simply because Appleby won this event two years ago.

Same for Anders. Like all but one. Brooks did win this event in 1996, but then finished 67th, mc and mc before finishing 5th last year. Brooks does play better in the South, but I'm not convinced he is that reliable. Cook on the other hand has finished 9th, 27th, mc, 2nd and mc in those five years so his record is just as good as Brooks' and so is his current form. Looks too much of a toss-up to me.

Just some thoughts ...

Anders Looking for both Brooks and Cook to have good week and haved tagged to look for matches against big name(wild driving) big boys,but as Stan, would dub them a dead heat against one another.Sure am liking everyones lines on Sutton vs Dimarco.Best out I had was -133 at Pinnacle and all I could do to hold back from betting it.By the way Pinnacle has 16 cent lines for 3rd week in row however just put up their lines (28 matches)and all the damage has been done previously on their matches.Could not find one viable bet.$plays has still not posted theirs.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If anyone is still liking Sutton @ 20/1 to win WSEX has $100 contracts for $5 (20/1) on interactives plus you have option to sell.

Thanx as always guys. And I'm glad I already played Sutton - didn't think that line would last long; now -145

Have also played Roberts over Smith, Kelly over Cink and Sutherland over Marijuana

Should be smoking with these

 

[1837]

Thanks Stanley! Feel much better now!

DTB...Liking your 1st round take on Sutherland more and more:

Thursday...partly sunny and breezy. Highs in the upper 70s. Southeast winds increasing to 15 to 20 mph.

Good Luck!

 

[Stanley]

1st round plays:

David Duval to beat Stewart Cink -162 @ Five Dimes [2 units]
Jerry Kelly to beat Stewart Cink -105 @ Five Dimes
Chris DiMarco to beat Chris Smith -113 @ Five Dimes
Kevin Sutherland to beat Shigeki Maruyama -110 @ Five Dimes

 

[Mr.]

duval over cink 1st round -140 at playersbet

 

[booman]

Well, the Boys are at my house this week. We had a hail/thunder storm Monday, but great weather today for the Pro-Am, and it looks good for the rest of the week.

PIC 7 = Cink, Durant, Duval, Kelly, Roberts, Singh, Sutton with a snift at DiMarco.

72 matches:
Roberts -125 over Maruyama
Kelly +100 over Allenby

YTD= 9-3

Good Luck To All !

 

[Stanley]

Adding 1st round play:

Loren Roberts to beat Shigeki Maruyama -127 @ GoTo Casino

Nice find on the Duval line Mr.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

adding 72 hole
May +115 over Dimarco @5dimes

Been waiting for Durant/Dimarco match up all week since they are paired 1st 2 days but other than 3ball its not to be found and considering odds May was best I could find.
Dimarco's claw has helped his putting but ranks 178th out of 185 players in driving accurracy.If he couldn't keep ball in fairway at Masters he will really struggle here and may be headed home on Saturday.
May's wrist appears to be fine with 2 cuts in a row since return and a not too shabby 29th here last year.

 

[boris]

longshots of the week....

Hayes 125/1 - Texan
Hnatiuk 140/1 - driving accuracy
Hughes 140/1 - driving accuracy & record here

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Possible hedge:In 3ball combo @Surrey with 3 holes left Jobe leads match by 3 and Sposa is tied.IF both matches win (no ties)will hedge final leg of Ames with 2 units on Chalmers 13/8 in their 3ball match.Tee off for them is 12:15 CST Will be close but 1st 2 matches should be complete.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sposa was beaten by Kraft-no hedge
