holy jesus what a kick in the nuts

Yeah, but I won about the equivalent of 8 units in fantasy golf this week so it's all good. The biggest matchup of the week I had going of course doesn't even go off because Poulter WD, if only he could have given it a go and then WD after a couple holes or something.

Will get back at it next week.

Hoping for a bounceback week after last week's disaster..

Scwartzel -112 over Donald (Pinny) 1.12 to win 1.0
Mahan -102 over Watney (Pinny) 1.02 to win 1.0
Bradley +118 over Garcia (Pinny) 1.0 to win 1.18
Yang -105 over Woodland (Pinny) 1.05 to win 1.0
Anders Hansen -107 over Quiros (Pinny)2.14 to win 2.0
Senden -132 over Poulter (Pinny) 1.32 to win 1.0
Rock +120 over Bjorn (Pinny) 1.0 to win 1.2

To win (from 5dimes):
B. Watson +7000 risking 0.5
Kuchar +4400 risking 0.5
Mahan +3600 risking 0.5

Noh +3000 to win Puerto Rico Open for 0.5

Adding:

Senden -128 over Poulter for 1.28 more
Simpson -112 over Stricker for 1.12 to win 1.0

Curious as to how you handicap this? I know an OK amount about golf, but next to nothing about handicapping golf. If you care to share just a few bullet points of what you look for, I'd be appreciative. If not, I understand that as well.

GL this weekend. I think you'll do better than last week.

Recent form going into the tournament and how the course fit the guy's game are the two things I think are the best starting point. I am more into weekly fantasy golf as opposed to betting so I am starting smaller, tracking it here and seeing how the results work out. I have done fairly well in fantasy golf but obviously it is much different than trying to beat the markets....I am definitely still learning.

are there any good sites for golf stats? historic results as well as player stats (average drive, putts, etc)

pgatour.com for pretty much all of that.

ive wanted to look at golf data for a while now but havent had the time. has anyone done any work trying to model golfers' scores based on their stats? it seems doable but hard since the model would have to be specific to individual courses

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh Bubba.....would have been a nice 35 unit boost to the bankroll but guess EVEN par was an unattainable final round score today after amassing a 17 under total after 3 rounds..

WGC Cadillac Championship Total: 4-4-1 Matchups, 0-4 on to wins; +0.99 unit

PGA 2012 Season YTD: 21-24-4 matchups, 1-7 to wins; +25.09 units

had bubba too :/ also had keegan and schwartzel with a fighting chance...not happy lol...killed it in matchups/round betting tho

Transitions Matchups:

Woodland +100 over Goosen 1.0 to win 1.0
Petterrson +102 over Allenby 1.0 to win 1.02
Harrington -105 over Els 1.05 to win 1.0
Simpson +127 over Donald 1.0 to win 1.27
Wi +100 over Toms 1.0 to win 1.0 (5dimes)
Gay -120 over Weekly 1.2 to win 1.0 (5dimes)
Couch -120 over Trahan 1.2 to win 1.0 (5dimes)

To Wins (0.5 unit each):
Senden +3800
Carl Pettersson +7500
Byrd +6000
Van Pelt +4000

I like the plays on Simpson, Senden and BVP in particular.

tailed the senden pick. lets go baby

Yeah, would have liked to see a little better round out of him today than only -1 in good scoring conditions though...
