Re: Golf - Bell South First thoughts are Oberholser who was leading at Sawgrass up to the final round. Hes playing some good golf at the moment and can see him challenging.

[Tulenos]

Re: Golf - Bell South The thing is how he will react to the disaster last week as he plummeted down the ranks after even challenging for the top spot. Hopefully he's recovered already.

[Bobbyhead]

Re: Golf - Bell South Been a bad few weeks for me with golf betting,but will persevere...Gone for a top 10 finish for Padraig Harrington.Not had the best of starts this year,but surely that'll change sooner or later? He likes this course,and has posted two top 10's here in past.He is 9/4(Skybet),2/1(SJ) & just 7/4(PP),while at time of writing,is a value-looking 4/1,with Betfair.We'll see! :tongue2

Re: Golf - Bell South Loads of Non Runners already this week, 15 players dropped out last year because of the weather delay, it was too close to the masters, not sure why the drop outs this year? All NR's so far! P. Perez S. Elkington C. Montgomerie H. Bjornstad B. Crane J. Gore N. Green J. Snyder III R. Palmer

Re: Golf - Bell South Ive had a good look at this and no matter how hard i try i cant get away from Phil Mickelson, this is made for him and it helps that he's showing some decent form just now. You know me i dont go for outright betting, its just too competative but i'm not going for a big price just for the sake of it either! Paddy Power are going 1/4 odds first 6 places so i'm taking them on although you can a point bigger elsewhere, it just makes sense to take the extra place. Anyway at 7/1 you get 7/4 for first 6, which is better than backing Mickelson for a top 5 place at other firms and hopefully collect on the win aswell. P.Mickelson 8.0 @ Paddy's E/W 1/4, 123456. Top European Market D. Howell 8/1 E/W Paddy's 1/4, 123. Like the look of David Howell here in a small European field, the betting is led by Harrington and Donald who both have bad weeks to get over. Howell can be frustrating but has the game to do well here. Howell has ruinned winning chances on the Saturday 4 times now in the states, if he can get that one right he will thereabouts soon. J.Rose 18/1 E/W S.Odds 1/4, 123 Justin Rose is too inconsistant to get too involved with but he does have the potential to win one of these now he has settled in the states. 18/1 is too big and a small wager is value. Good luck guys

I agree entirely mate, I can't get away from Lefty this week. Usually likes a big week right before the Masters to assist his preparations and had a good week last week. If he'd taken 4 pars on the 17th he'd have been right in contention. Another guy who had a good week at Sawgrass and has good course form is John Rollins so I'll take him each way as well. 3pts ew Mickelson 7/1 Paddy Power 2pts ew Rollins 40/1 Paddy Power. Good luck all.

[brilliantber]

Re: Golf - Bell South Chapman from Racing Post has gone for the following: John Rollins, 1.5pts e-w 40-1 (general) Tag Ridings, 1pt e-w 100-1 (general) Jose Maria Olazabal, 0.5pt e-w at 33-1 (general) Rory Sabbatini, 0.5pt e-w at 50-1 (general) He obviously agrees with you Kevshat on Rollins!

Re: Golf - Bell South two players interest me at fancy prices cink@66/1 lives local and 6 top tens in 8 years atwal @100/1 bang in form and played well here last year

[davidmphill]

Re: Golf - Bell South I'll stick my 3 picks in here on Thursday guys, fairly big prices too!!

[winbet]

Re: Golf - Bell South an assortment of bets from me:

Sport	Golf
Event	Bell South
Selection	T Ridings 1/4, 1-5 (Each-Way)
Strength	1/10
Date	02/04/2006
Bookmaker/Price	>Bet365 @ 126.00 (Back)
Reasoning	He posted a 6th here last year and a 14th the year before. He has had 3 top 5's in his last 11 starts, so his form is not bad and gives a decent value each way selection.

Sport	Golf
Event	Bell South
Selection	C Warren top 10 finish
Strength	3/10
Date	02/04/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Stan James @ 8.00 (Back)
Reasoning	He finished 10th here last year where he shot a closing 66. He finished a respectable 16th at the players championship last week, and 20th at Bay Hill the week before. He is a long accurate hitter, though his putting may hold him back from chalenging for the win.

Sport	Golf
Event	Bell South
Selection	Cink to finish in top 5
Strength	3/10
Date	02/04/2006
Bookmaker/Price	BetDirect @ 15.00 (Back)
Reasoning	Cink lives near this course and he enjoys playing here. He has finished in the top 10 6 times in 10 starts. His best finish was a 2nd in 1999. His scoring has been consistent this year having only gone over par in 4 rounds out of 20 this year.

Sport	Golf
Event	Bell South
Selection	Rollins top 5 finish
Strength	2/10
Date	02/04/2006
Bookmaker/Price	BetDirect @ 15.00 (Back)
Reasoning	Rollins finshed 5th here in 2002 and 6th in 2003. He finished 8th last week at the Players event which was very respectable given that high quality field. He has also had a couple of top 5 finishes this year.

Sport	Golf
Event	Bell South
Selection	Cink to bt Jacobson - match bet
Strength	8/10
Date	02/04/2006
Bookmaker/Price	Totalbet @ 1.90 (Back)
Reasoning	Cink lives near this course and he enjoys playing here. He has finished in the top 10 6 times in 10 starts. His best finish was a 2nd in 1999. His scoring has been consistent this year having only gone over par in 4 rounds out of 20 this year. Jacobsen finished a respecable t22 last week but missed the previous two cuts. It is his first time on this course so may take time to adapt. He has had 7 rounds of 74 or worse from 20 in pga tour events this year.

Re: Golf - Bell South Pick 1 for me this week is a guy who I and many others have already won off the back of and thats the impressive South African Rory Sabbatini. Available at a huge price for a guy whos top of PGA Tour money list. He started the season well with 2 top 10's, finished runner up in the AT&T and the following week landed the spoils at the Nissan Open. He missed the cut at Sawgrass which many a good player has done over the years and isn't anything to be worried about. I expect him to comeback with a good week before going for glory at Augusta. A very big price that for me has to taken advantage of. Rory Sabbatini 1pt each way @ 41 paddypower 1/4 odds 123456

[davidmphill]

Re: Golf - Bell South Pick 2 is the old warhorse that is Davis Love III. Again he missed the cut at Sawgrass last week but on his day he can hit it long and accurate and has been performing well in patches this year and finished runner up in the WGC matchplay. After that he performed well in the Ford Championship at Doral finishing 12th. His driving accuracy hasnt been as good this season as it has been and if he can address his accuracy off the tee then he can have a rewarding week here before going to Augusta. Davis Love III 1pt each way @ 26 paddy power 1/4odds 123456

[davidmphill]

Re: Golf - Bell South Before missing the cut like the rest of my picks last week at Sawgrass South African Tim Clark had had a very solid start to the season. He'd made every cut and had a top 10 and 2 12th place finishes. Last season he had his best season on tour and he looks set to continue South Africas tradition of producing top notch consistent golfers. Accuracy is key to his game and its no shock to find him near the top of the Driving Accuracy and Greens in Regulation stats on tour. Hes the 4th best with birdies averaged per round and for me is a great pick to do well this week. Tim Clark 1pt each way @ 67 paddy power 1/4 odds 123456

Re: Golf - Bell South ....Mickelson's into 11/10 already! :eek

[BillyHills]

Re: Golf - Bell South Mickelson now an amazing -16 after 2 rounds! I should do the honourable thing and lay it off at 1.27 at Betfair!

I would. Looks like its his to throw away right now.

[davidmphill]

Re: Golf - Bell South My picks need to get their acts in order just to make the bloody cut! At least Sandelin is giving me a run for my money in the Algarve

Re: Golf - Bell South

Mickelson now an amazing -16 after 2 rounds! I should do the honourable thing and lay it off at 1.27 at Betfair!

I'm brave (or foolish!) I'm going to let it ride I think.

[BillyHills]

Re: Golf - Bell South Not foolish Kev, think he'll win alright myself but Golf can make you look a bit silly at times and i was just thinking of protecting my Sports-Punter points more than anything. Just want David Howell to have a good Saturday, which would be a miracle, his Saturday stats in the US is amazing, if you want a bet back his opponent in his 2 ball tomorrow;) Hope i'm wrong!

[kevshat]

Re: Golf - Bell South Given what happened to me last week mate, I'm tempted to lay some of it off but he's so far clear it would take one of Lefty's worst ever rounds to not be ahead come end of play tomorrow so I'll let it ride and see where we are tomorrow I think. I see John Rollins continued the awful Friday run for my picks. Never even threatened the cut!

[kevshat]

Re: Golf - Bell South Looks like I made the right decision! :dude

[davidmphill]

Re: Golf - Bell South

Looks like I made the right decision! :dude

Sure does. 8 shots ahead going into the last round looks good!:ok

[winbet]

Re: Golf - Bell South Mickelson could play right handed and probably still win the event..
