VegasInsider's Season-Long Golf Thread

icecapper · 02-01-11, 01:49 AM

I look forward to following. Golf is the one of the most compelling sports to bet on. I'm on Mahan as well.

VegasInsider · 02-03-11, 12:23 AM

Odds To Finish Top 5

Dustin Johnson +200 (1 unit to win 2 units)

Anthony Kim +410 (1 unit to win 4.1 units)

Tournament Matchup

Jeff Overton (-110) OVER Marc Leishman (2.2 units to win 2 units)

No First Round matchups for this week. I usually like to see how the first round goes then wager on Round 2, 3, and 4 individual round matchups.

Goodluck everyone!

Which book offers these odds?

VegasInsider · 02-03-11, 12:29 AM

All of these golf wagers come from The Greek. I use that book exclusively for golf wagers

dfberger23 · 02-03-11, 12:39 AM

I can't use The Greek until I turn 21 next year.

Know of any other books that take those bets? All of the books I have checked don't have them.

VegasInsider · 02-03-11, 12:42 AM

5Dimes has tournament and round matchups

BetPhoenix has tournament, round and odds to win

dfberger23 · 02-03-11, 12:50 AM

I know but you can't bet on players finishing in the top 5 which is what I really want.

Matt Kuchar +7800 Guy is on fire, gets top ten finishes like it is nothing. He could win any tournament he plays in. $12.82 to win $1000.

Jonathan Byrd +20000 Same as Kuchar, been on fire lately. $5 to win $1000.

J.B. Holmes +4800 Won the tournament in 2006 and 2008. $5 to win $240.

I am with you on Mickelson, Fowler and Mahan.

VegasInsider · 02-03-11, 12:57 AM

Kuchar has been playing some solid golf this year. Already has 3 starts and 3 top 10s. If he can make a couple more putts, he'll be playing for the title on Sunday. Byrd is def a longshot, but with a win already he knows what it feels like to win and that's the hardest thing to overcome. Goodluck with your plays! I'll be updating daily

VegasInsider · 02-03-11, 03:59 PM

Wow, great start for Overton. Reeled off 6 birdies in a row on the front 9!

VegasInsider · 02-03-11, 04:00 PM

Nevermind, PGATour.com is all messed up. Still sitting at -3 at the turn

Glitch · 02-04-11, 08:00 AM

More delays today?

VegasInsider · 02-04-11, 01:10 PM

Glitch: I think you're forgetting Westwood. He's the #1 ranked player in the world.

i know that he is but hes not in good form right now. have you seen him play much lately- mostly just on the euro circuit but hes not doing too well in this young year.

jonny vegas lost by 2 strokes.

Yeah, you're actually getting 100. I sold all my outstanding loans to Thadd and we've already agreed on terms. Just waiting for him to come online and transfer me the points. You will be getting your 100 transferred directly from him (saves on transfer fees). I'll make the payments from there.

OmgUrMom · 02-04-11, 01:54 PM

alrite! good luck on your golf plays

Glitch · 02-04-11, 02:13 PM

me too if you have enough then pal. if not i can wait.

VegasInsider · 02-04-11, 02:15 PM

you're on the list too Glitch. You'll be getting more than a few days of payments...

Glitch · 02-04-11, 09:30 PM

whats the deal with mickelson

VegasInsider · 02-05-11, 11:22 AM

He was one of the first groups off on Thursday, so he was late in the 2nd wave on Friday and never got a chance to tee off.

VegasInsider · 02-05-11, 11:42 AM

Some players have finished their 2nd round and now have a lengthy wait to start their 3rd. Along with this, some players haven't teed off yet for their 2nd round and face a long day of golf (Overton and Mick)

My longshot is done, Jacobson won't be making the cut. Overton still has 18 holes to play and is right there with Leishman. Michelson, Mahan and Dustin Johnson are all within striking distance...looks like we'll have some horses in the race!

Glitch · 02-05-11, 11:42 AM

yeah my roommate told me- thanks. and for the payment. paid in full.

i hope p.mick can get it done today.

i think dustin wins the whole thing.

TWEETS · 02-05-11, 12:03 PM

I like Tom Lehman to come out and shoot well today, I took him over Chris Riley. He shot well Thursday, got Friday to relax and his old body should be good for the 2nd round today.

VegasInsider · 02-06-11, 01:20 PM

Overton playing like hell and that's looking like a loss. Kim and Jacobson **. Still have 3 horses in the running to win this thing, but need someone to go low. Johnson could sneak into T5 for a winner.

Not sure this thing is going to finish today, might be a Monday finale.

VegasInsider · 02-06-11, 11:32 PM

This is going to be a great finish tomorrow! Especially for my plays..

Leishman has posted -8 for the tournament and Overton is -8 with 3 holes to play!!!

VegasInsider · 02-07-11, 11:55 AM

Phew...Overton burys a 12 footer on his last hole to finish at 8-under and tie Leishman. Not a very successful tournament to start the season. Wasn't able to play any Round Matchups due to weather, but we'll get them next week at Pebble Beach

0-4 on Winner -2.5 units
0-2 on Top 5 -2 units
0-0-1 Tournament Matchup EV

YTD: -4.5 Units

See ya Wednesday for the AT&T Pebble Beach!!!!

TWEETS · 02-07-11, 12:22 PM

This final few holes is killing me, I bet Wilson at -260 this morning, and of course he has to make it interesting.

VegasInsider · 02-07-11, 12:24 PM

I can't believe he didn't just knock it into the drink. Extremely lucky he's in the bunker...

TWEETS · 02-07-11, 01:21 PM

That was some exciting golf, Wilson pulls it out.

legendmatt34 · 02-07-11, 01:31 PM

what was wilsons odds?

blaucoin · 02-09-11, 10:39 AM

What are you looking at for today?

VegasInsider · 02-09-11, 10:56 AM

I'll have the plays for Dubai and Pebble posted this afternoon.

TWEETS · 02-09-11, 10:59 AM

Pebble is a tough one, Mickelson and Johnson both are over +600 to win, might be worth a chance to throw some on both.
