Debating a Burns under 69.5 -150 round

Debating a Burns under 69.5 -150 round

There should be a bunch of 64/65 so I say fire away

 

[Inspekdah]

Putting not really that easy today. Doubt it gets easier as the day goes on.

 

[Inspekdah]

Greens are like glass.

Enjoy, assume you have a box ticket? Make surre to find the resident bookkeeper if so. Sat on 16 is better than Vegas for MM if you're with the right people. Just hope the Sat pin isn't back left. That sucks.

Ya, upper box. Year #2 with this group. How do I find the bookmaker

Cool thing with sky box tix is you can go next door. It shouldn't take much effort to find the old school teacher looking gal with a notebook, she'll take any wager you want including first caddie on the green type bets

WM round 2 only:

Bhatia -115 vs MW Lee: Akshay looked pretty comfortable Thursday. I think it continues to Friday.

Fade or follow, best of luck with your plays

That’s a good one. I can’t find that.

 

[KJ]

That’s a good one. I can’t find that.

I'm looking all over for stuff. Haven't had money in my Caesar's account in some time but have some now...they have a TON of golf wagers. Closest to the pin, first bogey, first birdie type stuff in groups. Didn't use to be that way.

WM Rd2

0.5u +1670

5-teamer at Underdog...messing around with the correlation algo and the push equity on the round number birdie lines.

Theegala O 4 Birdies
Akshay O 4 Birdies
Taylor U 4 Birdies
Billy Ho U 4 Birdies
Scottie U 67.5


A bunch of crazy stuff on my card after Scottie's loony rd1. He's down to -125 for a top 5 finish, so I've got that tied to a bunch of superbowl props.

 

[KJ]

Took Bhatia in a few different groups, the time is now. 15-18 need to be -3 at minimum for him I believe, already +1, gotta kill these 4 holes then play loose on the front

 

[KJ]

Big 11 footer for birdie on 15

 

[KJ]

Rimjob on 17 makes the plays very difficult at this point

 

[B.A.R.]

I almost played Tom Kim outright last night. So this makes sense.

 

[B.A.R.]

Scottie birdied 17 and 18

Just play the front at -1 plz

 

[KJ]

Scottie birdied 17 and 18

Just play the front at -1 plz

4,7,8,9 par and move on
1,2,5,6 gettable
3 must birdie

You get to 7 at -2 on the front gives wiggle room

 

[B.A.R.]

Scottie got his birdie at #3

Now, hopefully sneak one more for breathing room.

 

[gps_3]

Tiger commits to playing his event next week. He loves that course

Wow

I'm actually surprised because he was having a tough time at Torrey South the last few times.

 

[KJ]

HUGE birdie on 5 for Bhatia

Needed one on a tweener hole

 

[B.A.R.]

Could use one of these 10-11 foot putts to drop by Senor Sheffler

 

[KJ]

Little KJ fact

First hole I ever witnessed in pro golf was the 5th at TPC in 1999...that was the nearest entrance to our parking lot. I've since birdied it once and parred every other round. Never a bogey on that hole.

 

[B.A.R.]

Scottie!

 

[KJ]

Bhatia won his threesome

I don't even know the other matches I have him in but I do know Bobby Mac and Spieth are included. Need Bob to bogey a couple on 7/8/9

 

[B.A.R.]

Scottie seems safe.

124 away, simply needs to get in 4 more shots total

 

[gps_3]

Wow

I'm actually surprised because he was having a tough time at Torrey South the last few times.

I’m assuming they’re only playing the South next week right?

 

[B.A.R.]

I’m assuming they’re only playing the South next week right?

Yes. I'm 99% sure

Elevated event so no need for two courses.

 

[KJ]

Dale Jarrett sounding like he's a case of Red Bull in and comparing golf to NASCAR is the exact opposite of what anyone needed this afternoon

 

[KJ]

Well that was fun

 

[RBTrojan]

0-1 Round 2

Round 3 only WM:

Bezuidenhout -125 vs M Kim
Bhatia -115 vs Taylor

I normally don’t chase and play the same guy after losing, but I Think Bhatia bounces back in this spot. Kim is due for a regression round after a 63 and I think Bez is playing well.

Fade or follow best of luck with your wagers

Fwiw, nice bounce back for Cam Young after that shitshow last week vs Homa. Right idea, wrong week…

What’s next door? @KJ

 

[aplous]

Need round 3 touts please

 

[KJ]

What’s next door? @KJ

You can go to every suite. Typically there is a bookie dressed like a teacher in every one of them....go next door, mingle. There's always someone taking wagers all day on Saturday. Hell if you can't find it just bet closest to the pin with a couple buddies in every group. We used to double birdies and cost double in the trap. Get creative. But Saturday bookies are all over the boxes. It's a great way to meet people.

 

[KJ]

I lost $100 once on Tripplechin closest to the pin on a Sunday but got crowd surfed for no reason. It was worth every cent. That hole man....just enjoy your time while you're not old.

 

[aplous]

Group we’re with went to Old Town after dinner last night for bottles at Bottled Blonde….I am indeed, already old

Bottled Blonde had the place to be along the 18th fairway. Still the case? We did that once and it turned into a situation....fun joint though.

 

[aplous]

Headed to the course now, I’ll report back. Someone post the R3 winners when they drop the groups.

Take a couple pics

Sat at 16 is really a life thing

How are the pins today? Still down wind?

Wind is maybe 2 mph. Don't cap that.

 

[KJ]

Late afternoon wind might be 4-5mph

It's a non-factor

I can't find. If 16 is accessible, I'm confident 15 and 17 will be so fun stretch

Worst thing they did one year was put 16 back left which led to a ton of off the green tee shots and boos all over lol. I don't think they do that ever again on a Sat. Likely front left or back right. If it's front right there will probably be an ace.

Scheffler with a happy Gilmore moment

Late to the party due to out of state travel. Getting this one in early. GL boys

Rd.4 WM, Bezuidenhout under 70.5 -155 7.25u (DK)

 

[gps_3]

I think I'm going to go back to not posting plays lol. What a disaster. Maybe a couple guys can go stupid low today and sneak into the top 20 to keep me from getting blanked

JT routine eagle on 18

That was cool!

Got him in the top 10 so I didn't get skunked on my bets
