It very much felt like a week that got away, with different services having between them a number of golfers finding themselves in very promising positions going into the latter part of the tournaments, but most of them fading out of the places as opposed to striking out for top spot.
The only service to break even was Tour Tips which found Xander Schauffele at 20/1 finishing in the frame. A marginal, and I do mean marginal, profit for the TT gents.
As for Weekly Golf Value, well, this was the first time I’ve struck out alone, using the Bookie Basher Golf tracker to find a bet to replace one I couldn’t get on at the advised (or value) price, due to recent bookie account closures. I know that in the long term, as long as I’m backing golfers at +EV prices it shouldn’t matter who those golfers are. It’s the value I’m taking that is the sole consideration. But psychologically, it does take a little getting used to to overlook the WGV-provided tip to find your own. You can’t shake the feeling that the golfer you’re not backing is inevitably the one going to win! It was only one golfer this week to replace the suggested bet on John Catlin, but I’m sure it will be many more moving forward as restrictions start to bite. I’m kinda running out of online options, so it will be going out to the shops and betting in cash a lot more before too long I’m sure. A small loss for WGV this week.
Both Golf Insider and The Rainmaker had one tip finish in the places; not enough for either of them to avoid more losses and unfortunately with the latter, I’m essentially one no-return week from doing my bank. A big win would buy time of course. Fingers, toes, eyes and anything else it’s possible to cross, crossed!
Finally a blank week for PGA Profit, and back into negative territory for the year to date (although only just).
So another very underwhelming week across the golfing board. My whelm is definitely under. Good job the mighty Arsenal are going to win the league, eh?
