Hope you don't mind!
Only £1 bets, trying to get a pot together!
Variance on golf is massive. Usually a place each tournament and need a win to bump up the profit. Had Speith twice & Dustin Johnson in last couple of months but waiting for a 66/1 winner.
Maybe this week.
Not looking so good at The Barclays so far.
Football bets are usually better for regular profits.

Just checked the latest scores & Thomas Pieters is three shots clear on -10.
An 80/1 winner would be nice.
Obviously there are several on -6 who still have to go out for their second round.

Had a bet on the Barclays this morning, slipped my mind yesterday:
Finau 14/1
Fowler 20/1
Levin 66/1

Do all bookies let you bet on the number of corners?
Have an account with betfair, but cant see the options for corners!

For FL matches, it is pretty much Bet365 that cover all matches for corners. Bet Victor do some matches & Hills do most corners. I tend to stick with Bet365.
Going really well in the Czech Masters with all five players making the cut and four in the top twelve with Thomas Pieters just one shot off the lead. A long way to go but ......fingers crossed!
Pieters 80/1 -10 3rd
Kakko 66/1 -5 Tied 12th
Pepperill 18/1 -7 Tied 7th
Karlberg 30/1 -6 Tied 9th
Dredge 28/1 -1 Tied 61st

10bet are offering odds for corners on all FL bets today at pretty fair odds as well. Might have to open an account with them if it continues, I lost an account when Betfair took over Blue Square & will lose two more with the Coral/Ladbrokes merger & Paddy Power/Betfair merger.
You probably need at least five or six different accounts if you want to take advantage of the best prices. Bet365 & Betfair are the best with Coral, SKY Bet & Paddy Power close behind. Most are pretty good to deal with. Bet365 have the best offers. I use BWin because they sometimes get prices badly wrong. They are slow for withdrawals but when they offered 150/1 for PL top scorer when everyone else was offering 40/1, it was value not to miss.
You don't need loads of money to run lots of accounts because most do pretty quick withdrawals so can transfer money to place a bet then withdraw the winning straight afterwards. Obviously you have to have enough to fund long term bets.
When I first started betting big I made a couple of mistakes by winning too much so had my accounts closed down. Now if I have a couple of big wins on an account I always make sure that I quickly have a couple of accumulator bets which makes them think you are a mug & avoids having your account closed down.

Madsteve, should I cash out on Pieters in th Czech open or hold my nerve?
