    As the title suggests this will be a golf log, most of my bets will be on Betfair for obvious reasons..

    I'm quite sick of losing money on football bets, so I'm going to concentrate on golf and see if I can be profitable long term..

    This will obviously give me long losing streaks, but I hope the value available in golf betting will make up for that and then some..

    I will most likely put up my first bets Wednesday night/Thursday morning..

    best of luck with it might rob your bets for a bit of fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    thanks, but sorry if you or anyone else loses money over my log..
    I'm really still trying to learn, so I wouldn't advise big bets if anyone decides to follow any bets I pick..

    Think I'll follow you with small stakes too. Always liked having a bet on golf because you get good value both on prices and the length of interest you potentially get. Was always crap at picking them though, so stopped doing it. Now is as good a time as any to start again when you're willing to do the dirty work!!

    Best of luck.

    I really didn't want to wake up to Westwood shooting a 64 :(

    He was probably the obvious choice before it started, but at best price 6/1 before things even got started I wanted to take him on..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 586 ✭✭✭FANTAPANTS


    if you have a spare 5e/w throw it on Robert Karlsson 66/1 at min 2 over but runner up last few years and likes it their


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    A return of €11.25 for the Nordea masters thanks to Peter Hanson..
    It would be nice if Johnson could get a place in the St. Jude to limit this weekends losses..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    Dustin Johnson you beautiful man :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    a loss of €5.50 for the weekend, which in the end was a relief for me cause Jim fell apart towards the end.

    I doubt I will bet on the US open again, not on that course anyway :p

    Bubba Watson Finished tied for 2nd 1 shot away from taking it to a play off, very frustrating :(

    I also expected Siem to at least get himself into contention this weekend on the European tour..

    -€8.75


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    due to Ulster bank and there enormous **** up I don't know if I will be able to take the best prices this weekend..
    I will post whatever selections I can make later though, once I see if my money withdrawn from the bookies finally reaches my account


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992

    I'd like to thank Ulster bank for making my bets this week a nightmare to put on.. I can't take credit if any of the above win cause I had no time to pick my own bets this week..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    it's looking like the worst week so far for the log.. back to picking my own for next week I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    another loss, but thanks to the young Korean it's not as much of a loss as it could have been..
    -€9.30

    I'm still in profit however, up to a total of €25.20, not very impressive but I'm enjoying the log so far :cool:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    ****ing sick that Siem decides to win the week I dont back him :mad:

    A lousy return of €13.34 for the French Open.. I was very surprised that Poulter didn't manage to get closer than being tied for 4th


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    -€24.66 for the weekend.. thanks Webb :mad:
    the overall profit for the log was almost completely wiped out by disastrous final rounds from Webb Simpson and Ian Poulter

    I will carry on though as it's a long term game and I'm still trying to learn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,570 ✭✭✭MyStubbleItches


    Keep the chin up. I can feel your disgust with Siem, that's really sickening.

    Put it behind you, you're still doing quite well here IMO.

    thanks, the whole Siem issue was sickening, and I thought that would only happen me with horses that I followed.. as it turns out it's just as annoying with golf :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 240 ✭✭daviddunne1992


    I'm now going to keep backing certain golfers until they win.. although I cant help but feel that if Poulter hadn't of hit the self destruct button on the last 3 holes Siem would not have won.

    200/1 is available for Jamieson but again my bank has made that impossible!

    Scottish Open

    Nicolas Colsaerts @ 25/1 €2.50 E/W (1/4, Places 1-6)

    I will add my USA picks when I have a better look

    The size of your bank shouldnt matter. Bet an appropiate percentage (lesr than 1% for a 200/1 shot)

    I was referring to the Ulster bank mess up and being unable to take the best prices because of it... but thanks
