Sony Open

[Ian]

Early match bet
Chris Perry to beat Chalmers -125 Firststake
Perry played here once in last 4 years and finished 2nd, Chalmers played poorly in Aus over winter and has missed the cut here last 2 years by 8 and 9 shots

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Early outright and e/w at Sony open
Huston 20/1.Think this will move down,already 18/1 Sportingbet

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

72 hole match play @ WSEX
Parry over D Paulson -110

 

[Ian]

Adding
Mize over Ames -111 Firststake
DTB - I liked this one from first thing this morning I just waited for tee times as they can be crucial here, both have late which could favour Mize more

 

[Ian]

I have just seen some of the future markets at the Sportsbooks on this weeks Sony and I have to ask the question - are they always this bad? and does anyone actually bet at these odds?

 

[wannabe whale]

Ian-how do you feel about Perry over Carlos Franco??

 

[Ian]

WW
Never like to either support or oppose Franco as he is too unpredictable, he was 9th here last year whether he repeats that is anyones guess.Perry finished 2nd here last time he played but has not been in the best of form of late, I took him over Chalmers because of the latters appalling record here, but against Franco I would be very cautious

WW It is a wager available at English outs.Believe Stan is in process of adding a golf wagering 101 to his site and he is very good at explaining english bets. Had lots of patience tutoring me on them past couple of years

I'll give it a go and if not clear maybe Stan or Ian can be more concise.
Outright & E/W (eachway)It is bet on individual to win tourney outright.
E/W is seperate bet that pays 1/4 odds of outright that player will finish in top 4 or 5 places(at most books).
Example: I wagered on Huston to win Sony outright @ 20/1 and also E/W. If he wins I get paid both 20/1 on outright and 1/4 that (5/1)on E/W. If he does not win but comes in 1st 5 places I get paid 5/1 on E/W wager.
3ball combo: Usually in 1st 2 rounds of tourney players go out it 3somes(3balls). The English let you bet on who will shoot best score out of the 3.So you are betting 1 player vs the other 2.If either player beats your choice you lose.The word combo is synonymus with are term parlay.
Example: on my 3ball combo above all selections must defeat their 2 playing partners for me to win.If any one loses I lose wager.Tough to hit them but as in parlays you are rewarded if you do.

DTB
That just about sums it up

I have listed here 3 players I would seriously consider opposing this week if you see them in matchups depending on the opponent obviously
Chalmers
Kendall
Sabatini

 

[Ian]

I don't normally even look at 72 hole group betting but Simon Bold have put up an interesting one
Blake
Begay
Durant
Gallagher
Maggert
The last named stands out miles above the others and is worth a small interest at +350

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

adding 72 hole match @ Oly
Kraft -115 over Parry

Ian I would like Dimarco over Sabbetini @ 1st Stake if not for ties.
Opened at 9/10 now a not so hot 4/6

 

[Ian]

DTB
I liked that one too but by the time I had made up my mind the price had gone

Spread bets for Sony.

Azinger, apart from last years unexpected win doesnt have the accuracy or Green in REg stats to figure here. i think a buy at 21 with Hills index of his finishing position is a fair bet.

on match bets.

roberts over faxon at 0.75 is fair, both missed cut in 2000 but roberts was 7th in 99.

his stats are better too and faxon was going backwards last weekend at the mercedes.

 

[ag]

now its your turn, what is all these -125 and +100 bets. explain

 

[Ian]

ag
go to Stans site www.tour-tips.com click on matchups and use the odds conversion table.
Basically +150 = 6/4
+200 = 2/1
+500 = 5/1
-200 = 1/2
-500 = 1/5

 

[ag]

Spread tips.

Buy azinger finishing position with hills index at 21.

his stats suggest last year was a flash in the pan, i think at least 20 will beat him this week.

also take roberts over begay at 0.75. better stats better course form,......better
