I stayed up to watch the end of the US Open last night, simply because Weekly Golf Value and The Rainmaker had both put up Will Zalatoris (I had 28/1 and 30/1). Prominent at the top of the leaderboard throughout the final round, our man was neck and neck with ultimate winner Mark Fitzpatrick and would have forced a play off had he managed to hole his first putt on the last green. Agonzingly, the ball rolled literally millimetres past the hole.
In top level sport, fine margins can dictate careers, let alone the outcome of single matches or events. The width of a post, a fielder stopping a ball an inch from the boundary rope, a golfer rolling a putt fractionally wide…these are the things that matter. And if these things dictate and separate the winners from the losers in sport, so they will those betting on the outcome. Had Zalatoris holed that putt, it would have been the a big win on the week. As it was, those millimetres meant a losing week.
It was a solid enough week for The Rainmaker who also had Keegan Bradley place, and therefore he turned a profit. That was the only service to do so though (although judging by what I saw on Twitter, I think Ben Coley was on the winner!).
