Added a $20 bet on Davis Riley at 150-1 to go with my pre-tee 75-1. He’s within 4 of the lead and although unlikely to win, the odds are a HUGE overlay. No one within 4 strokes after 36 holes should be 100-1, much less more.

Nice get and Good Luck. as you probably know if you are going to bet Golf you need to shop for odds. There are some massive discrepancies. For instance The difference between Hi and low offer for Kegan Bradley was 35-1. I use this

Have to admit I haven’t been doing this for golf. I have access to William Hill online and two different books that might have slightly different odds in person (Atlantis and Peppertree). For golf, I haven’t bothered heading to the books.

In an odd twist, much of the country has much better access to online books than in Nevada. Neither Fanduel or DraftKings can operate here legally. BetMGM is an option but your first deposit has to in person. They don’t have a physical presence in Northern Nevada and much as I love Las Vegas I haven’t been lately.

Circa Sports will open a book at a new casino here in August and I’ll get their app when it does. In the meantime, I’ve been taking or leaving what William Hill offers.

Yeah Online is much easier to shop.. I have 6 books I use and they all offered great matches so I still am playing some free bets. Circa is great for golf betting. Look at Rick Gehman @Rickrungood. He is a very good Golf Data Guy based in Vegas and plays out of CIRCA.

Wind picking up at the Open . Gonna take a little shot the Rory makes a charge at +1000 . Same price as before the tourney and he’s only 3 back, which on this course is worth a shot

I’m taking a different approach to the British Open (or “The Open” if you’re a upper class twit)

Just 1 bet pre-tournament. I took Shane Lowry (again) at 25-1. Shots gained on approach (i.e. iron play) is the key stat for most tournaments and he ranks in top 10. He won this at a different course in 2019 and was top 20 last year.

His missed cut at US Open was the anomaly in an otherwise great year (minus an actual victory). Top 10 in Irish Open and then took a week off.

Odds aren’t a HUGE overlay but he’s got a better than 4% chance to win. I’d be shocked if he misses cut.

May bet some heads up matches when those are available later. Will definitely make another tournament bet after cut.
