RE: The gambling/betting thread - madsteve - 09-07-2015
I mentioned that I had my first bets for The Open on Speith at 15/2 and Oosterhuizen at 28/1.
I have added Tommy Fleetwood as my third bet. Tommy is going to win a major over the next few years and St Andrews is the course where he excels. He is a lovely links player. I expect him to do well this week in the Scottish but at 80/1 paying seven places, he looks great value for The Open.

Think Ryan Moore is a good shout & Streelman is value at 80/1.
Rose & Walker were both on my long list for this week & a win for either wouldn't surprise me.
Wood & Howell are both on the naughty step as far as I am concerned as they have cost me money recently by starting well and falling away.
Walker & Wood are already -2 after a handful of holes.
Fitzpatrick -2 after three holes - great start!
Didn't put it on here yesterday but had a 60/1 multiple bet on the tennis yesterday with Murray to win 3-0, Federer to win 3-0, Djokovic to win 3-0 & Gasquet to win.
Today I have Williams & Radwanska to both win 2-0 which is a touch over 5/1 with BWin.

Why did I never know about this thread before!!!
Scottish Open, I've had:
Kuchar - 30/1 Each Way
Shane Lowry 25/1 Each Way
I've made money in the last 5 out of 6 gold competitions I've bet on, Ricky Fowler twice, and Spieth twice, mainly in the last few, so hope to keep my streak going with the 2 above!

Kuchar has started well with -4 for first round. Lowry is my top bet & starts about now.
Have found golf to be pretty profitable if you do your homework.

I have never really paid too much attention to Lowry, but some of his escape shots in the last tournament were incredible - I really like the way he went round, and I said I would back him when he's back in the UK. Kuchar has gone off well too, which is nice. Is it on any TV channel? I'm only looking on betting sites as to scoreboard updates.

Lowry has to be considered on any links course. His current form is good so he could go close this week or next week.

Scottish Open - Day One
Mixed Day
Shane Lowry (25/1) -4 Tied 9th
Matthew Fitzpatrick (125/1) -3 Tied 18th
Branden Grace (22/1) -1 Tied 53rd
Byeong Hun An (50/1) Par Tied 77th
Victor Dubuisson (50/1) Par Tied 77th
RE: The gambling/betting thread - madsteve - 10-07-2015
John Deere Classic - Day One
Steve Stricker (40/1) -6 Tied 5th
Zach Johnson (10/1) -5 Tied 10th
My two picks both proved the value of course specialists. My hunch to give Jordan Speith a miss proved correct as he finished Round One on level par for Tied 101st. I wouldn't be surprised to see him miss the cut so he can get an early flight over here for The Open.
