Presidents - Vikings -Seves Event

[abcs]

Solid field in the Euro competition, also some big names playing on the pga tour. First play is the Internationals to win (+120) the wrong team is favored here. Half the guys on the US team wouldn't have even qualified for the International team. Call me unpatriotic or call me a wise business man. Hoping to get back on track this week.. thank god for football ( I never thought I'd say that).:tiphat:

 

[PRECISEwon]

yeah i feel the same way....golf kind of fades during this time of year ..for me at least. Like the call...get that paper

btw nice job in foots!! i won some with the cowgirls still trying to get on track with college

 

[abcs]

Cant say who i won with but I did go 9 - 1.. Which was a pleasant surprise.

That includes eight major winners: Love, John Daly, David Duval, Steve Elkington, Shaun Micheel, Todd Hamilton, Lee Janzen and Bob Tway.

Duval committed Thursday.

It will be the first tournament since February for the 2001 British Open champion and former No. 1 player in the world.

He played in five events through February, making three cuts, before putting his season on hold to spend time with his wife, Susie, who experienced a difficult pregnancy and child birth.

The top players on the current PGA Tour money list entered are Boo Weekley (23rd, with $2.4 million) and Brett Wetterich (27th, $2.1 million).

Also in the field is Heath Slocum, a former Mississippi resident who won the 2005 event and is 34th on the money list with $1.8 million.

Others with Mississippi ties entered are Glen Day, Jim Gallagher Jr. and Vance Veazey.

Defending champion D.J. Trahan, who withdrew from Turning Stone because of a wrist injury, said this week that he won't know until Monday or Tuesday if he can play in defense of his title.

Two others who withdrew at Turning Stone, Daly (influenza) and Paul Stankowski (shoulder injury), are in the Viking field. Watkins said he hadn't heard from either yet.

One withdrawal from earlier this week that hurt, Watkins said, was Bubba Watson, the Tour long-drive leader.

"He's so much fun to watch," Watkins said of Watson. "But it was amazing (Friday). We only had five withdrawals. Folks that are committed to playing are staying in. They're in.

"And top to bottom, this is a heck of a field."

I had planned to fade DL3 but he just withdrew. Oh well.. :down2:

This could be a huge sucker bet.. Especially with Freds course history here.

(-110)

Fred blew up on the weekend, had awful ball striking and was miserable putting. Nick is trying to rack in the cheddar, he also made a nice debut finishing 18th last week. This is like the 6th week in a row or 7th out of 8 for Fred.

hey abcs, im going to have to respectfully disagree with the presidents cup pick. my thoughts here are the players on the international team r fading or injured. 1st, i know u like els and im sure u knew how shitty he played in that last tournament when i had furky to beat him. he was 2nd or 3rd to last. then adam scott, who f*cked me royally with that final round debacle. who knows what the f*ck that guy is smoking. VJ finally had a good tournament but im still not convinced there is something wrong, in his personal life or possible injury. ogilvy and sabbo r decent but im not too worried about those chumps. choi is amazing but has fallen off quite a bit. goosen has a great record in presidents cup but has had a brutal down year. cabrera is another guy who has fallen off the map. that dork will prolly drop another 10 on a par 3 and smoke 3 packs of cigs and die. then the rest of the guys just suck my d*ck, especially appleby in presidents cup 3-11-2 overall. now onto the usa team, i got the top 3 players in the world, including a surging mickelson IMO. zach johnson who always hits over 75% of fairways and can putt with the best of em. stricker and woody austin r also the f*ckin hottest players in the world. not to mention hunter mahan who is one of my favorite guys who could surprise alot of people this week. that is my analysis brother.

 

[abcs]

Honestly, the more i think about it the more I don't like my pick. I was actually running numbers to see if i could hedge without getting punished. Obviously the International team has better talent and thats unquestionable.

Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk and Scott Verplank have all won on Canadian soil and although the Internationals can counter with victories for Weir, Vijay Singh and Rory Sabbatini it highlights the lack of any edge for the so-called 'home' side.

I will lmao, you are bashing Appelby, and praising micks record? Dude never cares about team events..
I agree US has some hot guys, and I love Mahans game.. but this is Woodys first rodeo.. don't look for him to do big things. O Hern has shown he is capable of winning tough matches.. beating tiger TWICE heads up.
Do i think the US comes into this week in better form Yes, Do i think they have more talent Hell no. Thus I am taking the presidents cup on sole value alone. Cabrera and Vijay have struggled of late, but Im pretty sure stricker was struggling to end the year.. You also fail to mention guys like CH3 and Glover who are Career Choke Artist. Verplank has been out of form ever since the heat caused him to wd. When the pressure is on, give me the team with more major winners.

It should be a good event none the less.. I didn't go big on the Euros... but thanks for coming in and debating it

 

[abcs]

Oh yea hopefully Adam got that final round in Atlanta out of his system :cheers:

 

[abcs]

Stricker wasn't exactly struggling, but did finish t17 in his last event. Which I hope is a good sign for me

 

[abcs]

Ok here come the other plays..:18_1_204:

 

[abcs]

(-110)

Biggest bet of the week.. Not a 6* unit play though. Hoffman is coming off a top 5 last week where he was second in birdies and he was lights out with the putter ( second in the field) also third in driving distance. He comes to a course that has 4 par 5's which he is 9th on tour on. Plus the dude has a mullet.

 

[abcs]

(-120)

The one time next big thing is coming off a top 5 last week. Dude is still on the border line of that 125. He has shown that once he gets hot he stays hot. Hoping this trend continues. Not going that big on this play..

 

[abcs]

Looks like the abc fade birds are out. I enter in the Flanagan line and it shoots the other way .. Earlier this year i was moving lines at the greek by an average of 20 cents (Thats a fact). Now I'm entering in my bets and the lines are going in the opposite direction :36_11_6:

 

[jimbo1227]

alright, few more comments. i dont know why u would say stricker didnt finish the year well when he won a tournament and had an opportunity to win the fedex cup? and im also not sure why u think the international team has more talent, because the top three golfers in the world r on the US team. i guess u could say adam scott is the best guy on the international team, and i want to go out on a limb and say tiger will not lose a match this week. tiger obviously has more talent than the whole international team combined. i know its a team event but still. i also believe that the US has more unity than the international team. the people from the US want to win it for the US, do people from australia give a s*it about south africa or europe? na. anyway, we will see what happens. all i know is that the US is the s*it and everyone else can bow down and pay homage.

 

[abcs]

Tiger will not lose a match? hmm.. I will take that bet. Maybe you haven't seen past team events. I am saying from 1 to 50 look at the world rankings. The international team is stacked. I do agree with the team aspect. That being said these guys all want to win (except Phil).

 

[abcs]

(-105)

Don't get this matchup at all..Glen has missed his last 5 out of 6 cuts. Johnson has 3 top 20's his last 4 events. Dude is extremely long off the tee.. and any course with 4 par 5s should favor him.

 

[abcs]

I told myself to take it easy this week with golf :hang:Oh well.. Im due to get hot again. rayer

 

[abcs]

Top USA Finishers..(Risking 1 unit on each) Feelin frisky..

+750

+1000

+1600

 

[abcs]

Just in case.. you can't tell who the dudes are.

Flanagan -110 over Funk to win 2 units
Flanagan -105 over Funk Risking 1 units
Haas -120 over Na to win 2 units
Hoffman -110 over Durant Risking 4 units
Wagner -105 over Day Risking 5 units
Hoffman 16/1 Slocum 7.5/1 Wetterich 10 /1 Top USA ( risking 1 unit )

We'll see how it goes. I'm due to get hot sooner or later.

 

[PRECISEwon]

Yeah that's good we're on hoffman should be a winner...i still like the international play fukkr's have owned them!! Even though limpin' in still they are cash money when it comes to this event can't fade that $$$ train.

 

[jimbo1227]

hey precise, you r thinking of the ryder cup. presidents cup is all USA, 4-1-1. i got -120 US at sportsbook, and then i checked it later that day it was at -130, then i checked it today and its -160. AHHAHAHHA. boo ya. and f*ck the international team.
Message to international team: FUCK YA'LL PUSSIES

 

[B.A.R.]

Tigers first missed cut ever guys was at this course.

He played there once more and finished T-21st I believe..FWIW

 

[B.A.R.]

Dunno if Brian posted this..not even sure if they announced matchups today...

but..

Tiger was playing with CH3's balls(golfballs you sickos) on the range on Tuesday....so def a potential pairing

Tiger told Jack 3-4 guys he wants to be paired with

Obviously Fuyrk..great succes..I would guess Verplank as well..friends and a perfect compliment to Eldrick..

I would think Stricker as well.

 

[abcs]

Thanks for the heads up BAR. The pairings were announced like 10 hours ago.

Anyway I put 2.5 units on Day over Wagner (hedge).. 5 units on Johnson Wagner is far too many..

(-110) Risking 1.6 units

This shit will be routine :tiphat:

 

[JumpOnBoard]

GL bro....AS through 7...just turned it on...

 

[abcs]

That didn't go as expected..

 

[JumpOnBoard]

pretty big upset...

Huge morning for USA..

seems like USA owns foresomes and maybe INT owns fourball..

 

[abcs]

Yea .. USA is just putting better. They havent missed any important putts all week.

 

[jimbo1227]

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!:wacka wacka:

(+1.25 units)

 

[abcs]

Give me Adam Scott -130

[abcs]

That hoffman loss is the toughest of my gambling career

Un****ing real. Dude was never down at all until the 72nd hole. Plays like the last 9 in 40 or so.. including 3 putts on 16 and 17 from around 30 feet

That was sick

Sorry if you tailed that was the worst beat that i have ever seen.

 

[abcs]

Looks like Im gonna split the singles matches. Unreal how many birdies CH3 has made today. He made like 4 total all week haha.. oh well

Bad week in gambling overall.. Still up a good amount, but ill prob take some time off to clear my head. Overall i capped the viking really well and feel good about that
