    Cheers Harry
    Always in my opinion best more times that not to close out after round 3 in the above case...as you were guaranteed 28pts profit compared to a possible maximum loss of 24pts which as I found out today anything can happen in a final pressure round of golf!

    So pity that Senden made a poor front nine in the second round. The cut line was 4 over long time on T71, but finally was 3 over. Spieth survived somehow and I think he will finis in the first ten at least. Another poor performance from G-mac. I expected at least to make the cut.

    Cheers, FP sell at 49 is appealing enough for me.

    FP sold at 46 with SPIN (the only firm quoting him in that market). Be rude not to have a small bet on the top 20 double along with Senden in the Valspar Champioship!

    Not done a lot so far this year, but the Swede does live on the course and knows the layout like the back of his hand. Indeed he finished 2nd here two years ago

    The Australian loves this course, winning 2 years ago and has been runner up twice. Comes into this week with a top 10 finish in his last tournament.

    Good effort to bounce back as he had looked to have undone all his hard work after dropping outside the T20 with a 77 on Saturday

    The least said about my bet on Hend the better but Dufner more than made up for it and the fixed odds bet was a better option than my usual FP sell. Cheers.

    Have simply followed on the Dufner bet as I can't quite get my head round the implications of the smaller field and no cut on the FP market. I haven't decided what my price point would be yet, compared to the usual full field events. One player who definitely does meet my "sell high" brief is Scott Hend and I've sold him at 46 with SPIN.
    That's on the back of a recommendation to back him for a top 20 finish at 8/1, something that does appear to be shortening in a few places.

    At least with no cut this week, my bet will play all 4 days!

    I feel your pain, literally! If they were going to finish outside the top 20 they could, at least, have had the decency to beat their FP quotes! 
    It's an inevitable part of betting more on outsiders than favourites and one I've just about learnt to take in my stride over the years. The last 2 weeks I've managed to show a profit despite 3 out of my 6 FP sells missing the cut. With 4 out of 5 doing so this week it's easily going to be the worst week of my recent foray into golf betting. I'll still be back next week though.

    Like ^^^^ that Zac Blair. Has a good shout this week. 
    PGA National is a brute of a par-70 and the start of the Florida swing. We often see a change here as 'unfancied players' spring from no-where to take the price on the Bermudagrass greens in Florida.  Harrington (400/1), Henley (300/1) and Michael Thompson (300/1) have all scored in the past 3 renewals pretty-much with no form whatsoever. High winds, tough rough and water everywhere, can make the Champions Course a true challenge when the Florida wind howls and scoring is sure to be high across Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday should see slightly easier conditions, but winners from off the pace here are pretty much unheard of. 
    I'm going for a mixed price bag this week with the average winning price here in the past 6 renewals working out at 187/1. At the elite end Patrick Reed (22), supported by Jason Dufner (80) and Webb Simpson (80). Bigger prices are formed by Camilo Villegas (150), Sean O'Hair (150) and Geoff Ogilvy (250).

    Can't pass up a sell of his FP at 52. Followed someone in on him last week and took the hit of the missed cut. Hopefully he'll "do a Blixt" and have a good week after missing the cut, the difference being I'll have stuck with him on this occasion!

    Though missed the cut last week, has had a couple of decent tournaments this year. Also this course is more suited to his A game of straight driving and an elite short game having finished 6th here 2 years ago
