Ah ok..Thanks guys... I still thnk i will chase it up, curiosity and all that. lol

After living in California for a few years i always try and back their golfers in west coast PGA,s..Ol Lefty has been good, and bad to me over the years lol..So when i saw that you had picked Collin Morikawa as well i went in bigger than usual..I also had extra on him Sunday morning when he was still 10/1 in the UK as had been striking the ball so well through the week.. So when he pinged that Drive to within 7 feet of the hole on the 16th i nearly wet myself ?... I think he Morikawa could be a superstar in the making..Reports over her was that Keopka was playing with an injury through out the tournament ??. Anyways,  thanks for all your hard work you put in Fader.. Keep them winners coming
 

Very happy to see Morikawa win it. At one point I think I had 4 of the top 5 so it was alittle bit easier to watch. Suprised by Koepkas last round. I'm really annoyed peeved that once against a big priced round 3 leader (Champ 150/1) doesn't make it into the money (10th, needed 9th) but all in Morikawa winning and placements for DJ and Day mean a +66.80 profit for the PGA Championship
PGA Champ +66.80
Golf 2020 +201.54pts

Livingston v Hibernian.
As @StevieDay1983 points out, the artificial pitch gives Livingston a bit of an advantage at home (Tony Macaroni is a chain of Italian restaurants up here, the stadium's been nicknamed The Spaghettihad by fans). They have, however lost a couple of key men from last season and were very poor away to St Mirren last week, looking lethargic and not looking up to match speed yet.
Hibs have clearly got the better squad and started the season with a good win over Kilmarnock, going 2 nil up after 30 minutes in a decent first half display, I think they tired a little bit in the second half and sat in and defended their lead quite comfortably, the Hibs goalie not really having a save to make.
Hibs will play with a different formation than last week, Christian Doidge coming back in to be the central focus up front with Boyle back on the right wing. The frankly disgraceful pitch means you have to alter your style of play and Hibs have the players to do that when required, going long for Doidge to hold up or for Boyle to run onto could unlock the Livi back 4 and I've got a feeling the game could go the same way as last week with Hibs racing into an early lead. I think the bookies have overpriced the away win here, I'd have Hibs as favourites.
Hibs @ 3.00 - 2pts.
Hibs Half Time @ 3.60 - 1pt.
Martin Boyle Anytime Scorer @ 3.25 - 0.5pt.
 

It is going to be a crazy afternoon on Saturday trying to watch 6 games that all overlap with each other. Quite why the National League thought it was a good idea to have them all clashing like this I don't know. I have 3 bets again and lets hope for another 3/3.
Harrogate v Boreham Wood (2.30pm live on BT Sport)
Boreham Wood weren't great in the first half last week against Halifax and it was shocking defending/goalkeeping for Halifax's goal. 2nd half though they were much better and fully deserved the victory. Matt Rhead is always going to be a danger at set pieces and he scored from a superb corner and that is going to be a threat again. To be fair to Harrogate I think they would have pushed Barrow close. They were frustrating early in the season as they kept dropping silly points especially when I put them up as a bet! There were only 6 points between these two teams when the season finished and the difference was Boreham Wood drew 3 more games as they had both lost 9. Given they improved after 45 minutes of football I think they will improve again in their 2nd game back and as I mentioned last week they are so strong up front which for me could be the difference here. Bet365's 5/2 is just too big for an away win.
Notts County v Barnet (5pm live on BT Sport)
Having tipped up County obviously I am going with them here as well. Given how many defenders they had missing you have to give Barnet credit for keeping Yeovil out last week and there was some great last ditch defending. The woodwork also helped them out and I think they will find it harder to keep out the home side. As I mentioned in the outright preview County are capable of scoring wonder goals from the edge of the box and Barnet are going to struggle to defend those. They created very few chances at the other end as well although someone like Paul McCallum only needs one chance and he scored a good goal against Yeovil. Keeping him quiet will be key for the home side as well, but I think they are capable of doing that and 11/8 with Bet365.
Havant & Waterlooville v Dartford (3pm live stream)
Dartford looked really good in the 2nd half against Slough last week and were good value for their 3-0 victory. I think they can beat Havant in this on the back of that. As I mentioned in the outright piece I think Dartford would have been title contenders had Steve King been in charge and that brings them much closer to Havant than the league table has them. Havant have a superb side on paper and really ought to have won the the title, but they dropped so many silly points at home. With no crowd maybe that wont be a factor here, but Dartford will be full of confidence and will have the belief that they can win this. What I will say is that I think the play-off winners will come from this game as I think both teams have the edge over Dorking and Weymouth so I wouldn't put anyone off having a cover bet on Havant winning promotion given we have a big price on Dartford anyway.
Boreham Wood 1pt @ 5/2 with Bet365
Notts County 1pt @ 11/8 with Bet365
Dartford 1pt @ 9/4 with Bet365

The first weekend of action in the play-offs sees what the National League like to call the eliminators. The National League play-offs will be live on BT Sport whilst the North and South games will be on a pay per view stream should you wish to watch them.
Boreham Wood v Halifax (Friday night 7pm)
A couple of seasons ago Boreham Wood upset the odds by getting to the final of the play-offs and I have a feeling that they might be capable of doing it again. Tonight they announced their 20 man squad for the play-offs and there is plenty to like about it. All the players who played in their last league game feature and they look really strong up front. Luke Garrard has done a hell of job with them this season and they look a good side. Halifax only have 3 strikers coming into the play-offs and losing Devante Rodney was a huge blow to their chances. I think Halifax are probably slightly fortunate to be in the play-offs as well as they were losing their form and they certainly benefited from having an amazing start to the season. I obviously would carry more confidence if it was a normal play-offs, but the 11/10 with William Hill is an attractive price.
Altrincham v Chester (Sunday 1.30pm)
Fair play to the Chester players who are playing for nothing to help the club afford to take part in the play-offs, but I think it could well be for nothing. They have suffered from losing players including their star striker who decided to go to Gloucester City instead! I was hoping that we should see odds against about Altrincham because they looked on paper to be the best bet of the first round of fixtures and low and behold we can get 13/10 with William Hill and as I write no one is odds against. Altrincham ended the season in good form and they have goals in them as well as being pretty solid at the back. On paper they are certainly the stronger team and hopefully they can prove it on the pitch.
Slough v Dartford (Sunday 1.30pm)
Going to have to try and watch two games at the same time as both bets in the Step 2 play-offs frustratingly kick off at the same time. This one is pretty self explanatory given I think Dartford can win promotion. Slough were in pretty awful form when the league stopped and as I mention in my outright preview Dartford have been superb since Steve King took over and are value for more points than they ended with in my view. 12/5 with William Hill is way too big in my view.
Boreham Wood 1pt @ 11/10 with William Hill
Altrincham 2pts @ 13/10 with William Hill
Dartford 1pt @ 12/5 with William Hill 

He's back and he means business!!!

I guess a 3 shot lead going into the final round wasn't enough for Wolff who kinda bottled it. Would have been a 125/1 winner but the 25/1 placing atleast covers the weeks bets
2020 golf bets +135.79pts.

Weather could have a say yet again tomorrow so will be brief with these. There are 4 big price singles plus a treble.
Torquay v Halifax
Don't get why Torquay are being so well backed here against a bang in form Halifax side. Unbeaten in 7 in the league, whilst Torquay have only won twice in 10. Torquay have not played since Feburary 1st either so could easily be ring rusty going into this game. Given Halifax are 3rd and looking strong for a play-off place and they are playing Torquay who are only 5 points clear of the relegation zone. 3/1 on away win is a huge price.
Chester v Brackley
Another baffling price change as somehow Brackley are favourites to win at Chester. This is a Chester side who have only lost twice at home all season and won 10 times and beat leaders Kings Lynn on Tuesday. Brackley haven't won in 5 now and when I saw the prices I thought Brackley were at home. Chester at 21/10 is huge and for me the prices are the wrong way round.
Chelmsford v Slough
Taking advantage of another massive drift as Slough are over 2/1 to beat Chelmsford having been as short at 11/10. Chelmsford managed to beat Tonbridge on Monday, but it was a poor game that could have gone either way. They still look a poor side low on confidence to me and Slough are 2nd having lost just twice in their last 10 games. They look a big price as I would have them as favourites.
Salisbury v Hendon
Happy to take a chance on Hendon here as they have won 6 on the bounce now and Salisbury have only managed to beat Dorchester in their last 5 games. Don't think there is much between these sides so 3/1 on an away win is big.
Treble
Basford host Atherton who had to postpone a game in the week because an outbreak of mumps went through the side. Every chance they will be weakened here in what is already a very tough game for them anyway. Royston should beat a Hednesford side who are dropping off big time and in the same division Tamworth should outclass Biggleswade. The treble is 2.7/1 with Marathon.
Halifax 2pts @ 3/1 with Betway
Chester 2.5pts @ 21/10 with Bet365, William Hill and BetVictor
Slough 1pt @ 21/10 with BetVictor
Hendon 1pt @ 3/1 with BetVictor

match bets :
Alot of good matches tonight and plenty of decent value in my eyes. I'm really temped by Smith but it's a match that could easily end in a draw and so it's one I'm willing to put into an accy and forget about. Anderson to beat Gurney is my first choice. I've mentioned how Anderson looks better recently and i get the feeling this could be his last season on tour if things dont go well for him. It's abit all or nothing.
Wrights price doesn't make sense atall. He's beaten MVG recently ofcourse and is bang in form. 9/4 is barmy. Next up Price to beat Cross. Don't like Cross at moment. Bang out of form and has lost about a stone and half in weight. Losing loads of weight does make a difference to your throw.
2 accys this week. 1 more conservative. 1 out there.

Leiston got us off to a good start on New Year's Day, but the 3pm kick offs weren't as kind and there was a small loss on the day in the end. There look to be some good bets on Saturday mainly at Step 3.
Kettering v Farsley Celtic
I am leaving the National League alone this weekend as it looks a tricky set of fixtures so I start with this game in the National League North which has already seen the home side being backed. Quite why they were 2/1 I don't know, but I still think there is some juice in the price. In my view they should be favourites. As I wrote last Saturday they were unbeaten under Paul Cox going into the Boston game which they were unlucky to lose. They then went to Brackley on Wednesday and got a very good point against an in form side. Farsley seem very in and out and although they beat Bradford 5-0 over Christmas they did lose both games to Guiseley. I think Kettering are the better side and I would have them around 5/4 so the 9/5 available is a big price for me.
Leamington v Altrincham
On the face of it Leamington are in good form having lost just 2 of their last 8 games, but they have lost George Carline who was on loan from Solihull and he was a key player in their good run of form. By all accounts he bossed the game against Gloucester on Boxing Day and without him Gloucester beat them 2-1 on Wednesday. Altrincham's overall form is good as they have only lost once in their last 9 league games, but their away form isn't as good as it should be with their win at Curzon on Boxing Day being their only away win in the league so far. They did lose at Bradford which isn't great, but prior to that they had got a very good 2-2 at Kings Lynn so it suggests they are improving on the road. I wouldn't want to chase the price down too much, but I do think the 19/10 is too big.
Cheshunt v Kingstonian
Into the Isthmian Premier Division and I am very keen on Kingstonian here. Their only defeat in their last 10 league games was against Bognor and they have certainly found their form compared to earlier in the season when they were drawing too many matches. They have only lost 4 league games so fr and whilst they might be a bit too far behind to be winning the title they certainly have every right to be thinking they can get into the play-offs. Meanwhile Cheshunt have only won 4 games all season and have only picked up 4 points in their last 10 games. The only points they have been picking up have been against either teams in poor form or the teams around them in the table and it is hard to see them being up to getting anything from this game against a bang in form team.
Corinthian Casuals v Leatherhead
Kingstonian are 4th in the 10 game form table which Leatherhead currently top having got 25 points out of a possible 30. That is some run of form and interestingly their last 7 victories have all been by a single goal including when they won the reverse fixture 2-1 back in November. What that means is they are very strong defensively whilst they are able to get the crucial goal or goals down the other end. Take out the 3-0 defeat to East Thurrock and they have only let in 4 goals in the other 9 games. Casuals have picked up 4 points in their last 2 games, but they were playing Wingate & Finchley and Cheshunt so that doesn't really amount to a great deal and this match is a big rise in class of opponent. Leatherhead look a big price at odds against.
Alvechurch v Royston
The BetVictor Southern Premier League Central has been pretty kind to us and hopefully Royston can add to the profits on Saturday. They should be well odds on for me to beat one of the weakest sides in the division. They did manage to win on Wednesday, but that was against Redditch who are detached at the bottom and then they only won 3-2. Royston have only lost one of their last 10 games and they have put 5 past Lowestoft and 4 past Peterborough Sports in their last 3 games. A shade of odds against looks a good bet to me.
Hendon v Weston Super Mare
At 90 minutes Weston were losing 2-1 to Truro on Wednesday, but 3 minutes later they were 3-2 in front as they scored 2 goals in injury time to take the points. Having beaten Taunton on Boxing Day as well Weston have now won 4 on the bounce and they finally seem to be showing the form they ought to have been showing all season. They have added to the squad in the last 2/3 weeks and they look even stronger because of it. Hendon cost us on Boxing Day when losing to Harrow and they not surprisingly lost to Chesham on New Year's Day. If Weston continue in the vein the have they ought to be making it 5 on the bounce.

This gets started tomorrow. Very much a hugely weak field in which the prize money has been lowered (believe it or not) I want somebody that has experience here. I think the likely winner looks in the top half.
My first bet is Scott Waites. I think he beats Harms. He will have a tough match against the winner of Mitchell and Unterbuchner but if he wins that, it should be pretty straightforward to the final. He's always performed here, only losing to Durrant (twice) and Noppert and none of those boys are here no more. I do feel that the winner of Unterbuchner Vs Scott Mitchell will give him a real game but i'm finding it very hard to call the winner.
In the bottom half (much like the PDC for Gezza Price) it's made up for Jim Williams. The only player who will probably test him is Veenstra. At 8/1 no thank you. Instead, I'll take a chance on the 11th ranked Vandenbogaerde.

I'm going to try a treble for this evening. Over 5.5 sets in the Price Vs Henderson match and the same bet in the Aspinall Vs Anderson match goes without saying. I expect Henderson to get a few sets. Final bet is Bunting to get a decent amount of 180s as he is really doing well in the red bit recently.
1pt treble - Over 5.5 sets (Henderson Vs Price & Anderson Vs Aspinall) and Bunting over 5.5 180s 7/1 paddypower

Nice hit on Whitlock mate.. I decided to go with Sherrock over 3.5 x 180,s and he got 8 i believe, great effort by her as well and had she had won the 5th set i think she would,ve gone all the way.. bless her  

Whats your thoughts on todays darts Oh Dart King ? 

Alot of 50/50 type matches today. King/Whitlock. Gurney/Durrant. I'm going to go with Whitlock in the first but I'm basing that on Kings last performance. He got the win, but was very poor. I'll leave the Gurney Vs Durrant match alone as I have Durrant on an outright but that really is a 50/50 match. I think Dobey takes on Sherrock. She's had a wonderful tournament but Dobey -2.5 is very tempting.
in the evening, I think Henderson gets a set or two and it would not suprise me if Bunting did too. I have Bunting to win the quarter. Ill add Aspinall in the accy as i do have him on the outright.

ive been working the last couple of days but good luck fella

109/110 average for Van Der Bergh. Can't argue with that. I'm going to look at tomorrows in the morning. Looks a good card.

The Payne treble comes in whilst steaming. Great stuff ? ahh can't tell you how annoying yesterday evening was but the afternoon was a success i suppose. On to today, and another full card for the day. We finish Round 1 and start to get the bigger names now and so we see Price and Chisnall in action tonight.
I like a couple today for the accy but in terms of main bets it's quite trappy. I'm going to go for Big John Henderson first up to beat Richardson. Henderson does well here, with averages in the mid 90s.Richardson is a hard one to call because although he was poor in Round 1 but he did face a woman which seems to bring it's own pressures. I'm really tempted to go for Beaton but the head-2-head scares me off. I'll add him to the accy but no bet in the mains. 
Finally, I'm going to risk the 100% match bets with 2 outsiders. First, I'm going for Meulenkamp to beat Dobey. Dobey is an awesome player but he's very inconsistent and Meulenkamp always raises his game for the Worlds. The price is too big for him to win this. finally, less likely but I'm going to go for Van Der Voort to beat Chizzy. Chizzy is another one that is too up and down. Van Der Voort is abit more solid in his play and unless Chizzy plays in the 90s he could be in trouble. In 2018 Van Der Voort beat Chizzy 3-0.

Haha im the same mate..I post soccer bets on an american site and if i stuck to singles i would be further in front..But i can never resist an Acca..Saying that though ive hit 3 in the last 2 days so dont give up..You,ll get one mate.

Despite so many matches today I'm struggling to find much of any value. The majority of the ones I like are all coin-flips that are just not worth tipping up as a decent staked bet. The only bet i'm going to take is Edhouse to beat Koltsov. Koltsov has already beaten Edhouse this year but the two appearences of Kolsov in this event have yielded two 1st round defeats and averages of 76.51 & 79.19.
I'll take another strike at an accy too as there are a few that interest me.
