ONLINE GOLF BANK (WEEK 6)

WINNER SHARMA!

No PGA or Euro this week,
ASIAN TOUR (Online Bovada.com)
BANK BETS


FIRST MONTH ONLINE GOLF BANK UP 20%

Our First Month of the Online Golf Bank was a Success! 2 wins on the Euro Tour and 1 in Asia put our Euro Tour picks up 96%! That gave the Online Bank a nice First Month Return (UP 20%)

Moving forward we may focus PGA picks on hot trending players rather than chasing longshots. We Cashed a Nice Ticket on Cantlay and 2 on Xander Schauffele this yr - prior to starting the golf bank. 

On Euro - it will business as usual (UP 96%) - covering a broad range of players. Congratulations and thanks to last months winners Wade Ormsby and Cameron Smith.  

The Asia Tour may be the only game in town for the next few holiday weeks. We hit there once last month with Dylan Fritelli

Almost 4 winners this month! We almost hit a 4th winner last week in Asia as Khongwatmai T2 going into the final, shot 7 under on Sunday - only to lose to a 62 by Justin Rose.

GOLF PICKS JOBERG OPEN

Updates: https://twitter.com/RickOnTheStrip

NOTE: No bets this week on PGA. May be worth watching though. LPGA star Lexi Thompson is paired up with trending young gun Tony Finau against the men. 

BANK BETS WEEK 4 (Euro Only)

ONLINE GOLF BANK (ON FIRE!)

GOLF BANK UP $300 IN JUST 3 WEEKS 155% RETURN !

HOW IT WORKS
Our Online Golf Bank is a (Free) affordable way to bet on golf. Play along at home! For as Little $50 per week - per tour - you have a REAL shot at making REAL money watching your favorite pros. With the NFL you need to call the spread on 3 teams to make 6-1. The average golf payout is between 30&80-1, with a lot of winners paying in excess of 100-1. Longhsots win about a dozen times each year. There are no sure things, and you wont win every week. However,1 win every 5 weeks can make your month and put your bank in the black. $50 per week is only $250 every 5 weeks. So 1 winner $5 at 60-1 or $10 @30-1 = a $300 payout and makes you money. Even $5 @30-1 is $150, you only spent $50 and tripled your money that week.

HOW TO BET
Follow our picks or watch the final on a Sunday and pick 10 players you like for the coming week at $5 each. The tourneys start on Thursday. Get your bets in by Wednesday. If you live in Vegas - Westgate usually has the biggest list of players you can bet each week. William Hill is good too (compare the odds each is offering). We also post online bets for Bovada.com. Outside Vegas this is a good option. Great way to cover longshots too - they offer high odds on longshots and $1 minimum bets.

HOW TO WATCH
You also get a nice bang for your buck entertainment wise. Set your DVR on Golf Channel Wed night for Euro (early morning broadcasts) and Thursday am for PGA. You can just fast forward thru each day and look for the players you have money on. Just keep track of what colors they are wearing and hit pause when they show them. You can watch a whole round in about an hour. The first half of PGA starts around 9am on GC on weekends. The 2nd half of the last 2 days are usually on NBC or CBS starting around noon on Sat and Sun. Watching a put drop on Sunday that makes you $500 might be the highlight of your weekend. 

Our Euro Tour Picks are On Fire! 3 Weeks - 3 Winners!

GOLF PROGRESSIVE BANK ONLINE

(SORRY POSTED WED ON NFL BLOG BY MISTAKE)

Golf Budget
Last week I cashed a winning ticket for $600 on Cantlay and spent more than usual on golf $250. It was money well spent. I did not win, but I realized less is more as far as golf bets go. If you bet $100 per week on each tour (PGA & Euro) - that's $200 a week or $1000 over a 5 week month. You have to hit big or often to stay ahead. Most of our big wins have come on exceptional stand out players that we bet bigger money on at lesser odds when we felt they were about to break thru. Spieth first win $30 @30-1 paid $900 and Cantlay $20 @30-1 $600, are good examples. Longshots hit too @100-1 about 10 times per yr - but you cant cover them every week at $5 each at the Vegas Books. . 
Betting Strategy
We can cover up to 10 players for $50 on each tour at the Vegas Books for $100. $30 on a hot favorite still leaves 4 more bets. 
Online (Longshot Bets)
By adding Online bets to the strategy at a book like Bovada.com- we can cover longshots without breaking the bank - as they have a $1 minimum.
Profit and Loss
Our average winning ticket is between $300 and $600. We hit once or twice a month. At $50 per week - $250 per month - 1 Winner every 5 weeks makes us money. Our budget is $250 per tour (PGA &Euro) every 5 weeks. You may want to pick just one tour at first.

ONLINE BANK WEEK 1
Note:I wold normally bet more -$10-$30 on Favorites 10 to 30-1. But I didn't have a strong feeling on any one player this week on Euro this week. As you can see (below) we bet more Euro this week and borrowed from PGA to stay within the budget. The online Bets are separate,that bank started at $75

GOLF PICKS NORTHERN TRUST AND MADE IN DENMARK

NORTHERN TRUST
Playoffs? Playoffs! (BEST ODDS OF THE YEAR)
New course for the first stop of the FedEx Playoffs. So, not many history stats. 

The 2013 PGA Championship was held at Oak Hill. However it was a tougher lay out then.
Notables in order of finish:
Dufner
Stenson  
Scott
Dat
Zaxh
DJ
Rory
Leishman
Streelman

Look for great weather and low scoring this week. Its anybodies game! Which is awesome considering most players are 100-1 and many as high as 2 or 300-1. 

MADE IN DENMARK
My Top pick have crazy good history at this event. Great odds on others I've been waiting to see break thru.

Match play is always a crap shoot. Don't spent much here. I took the players who've played well on this course (below). Also a guy we've been on for a while Lucas Bjerregaard 50-1 was 5th on this course 2 yrs ago.

GOLF PICKS PGA CHAMPIONSHIP 2017

With a field this strong, anyone can you win. Put a little extra on a Favorite or two at low odds and then there's a ton of value at great odds (see below).

As you know, I am a huge Jordan Spieth fan. I would love to see him complete the grand slam. However, I am just waiting for him to realize he has lost a major (1st Masters) and several other tourneys due to his poor putting technique inside 10 feet. He gives up an average of almost 8 strokes per event missing short ones. That's insane! He compensates, but I wish he would just realize he needs to fix his short put technique.

Even my favorite golf commentator Brandel Chamblee excuses it, saying he plays late with the lead when puts are hard. Bullshit! Too much forward press, lifting, and flipping the club is his problem. I'll continue to preach - Low, Slow-Thru on short puts - Try it - tell me it doesn't work!

Rory McIlroy owns Quail Hollow and his distance will come in handy. The course will play long, leaving long approach shots, he has those shots in the bag when he's on. His play of late does not warrant 7-1, but his skill set and reputation here does.  
Coming up behind Jordan ad two young guns I think may follow in his footsteps. 

Patrick Cantlay and recent winner Xander Schaufelle (I can spell his name without looking it up ) no small feat.  

I also cant pass up Bubba Watson @80-1

Sleeper - good recent and at the event Tony Finau @100-1. He and Luke Donald @300-1 are also very good in the rain (looks like there will be a lot of it, expect delays). But so are Thomas, Scott, Rose and Keopka. So don't bet the farm, there are more potential winners than anyone can cover.

Worth a look James Hahn won and Danny Lee was first page at Quail Hollow for Travelers 2016

GOLF PICK RBC CANADA & PORSCHE

RBC CANADA
No let down after the open for me. Excited about the return of Patrick Cantlay!
He hasn't played for 7 weeks - but I'm on him like white on rice! Hes an old soul and just might hit the ground running.
The Odds on Fav is Matt Kuchar though with 3 top 10s in a row at this event and 2 recent top 10s coming in. Price tho @ 10-1
If you're looking for a Canadian winner - David Hearn has been trending and has a 3rd here 2 yrs ago. A great long shot here is Jared Du Toit @150-1, 7th here last yr and a top 10 coming in.


PORSCHE
Really strange, my top 2 picks on the Euro this week are scratched? 
Bland and Southgate ranked highest but wont make the trip I guess? 
Good value on other trending players. I'm big on Karlberg, Hebert and Longshots Bjerregard, Fisher and Kruger

GOLF PICKS THE OPEN 2017

THREE IN A ROW!
WINNER! OUR TOP PICK - JORDAN SPIETH!
3 WINNERS IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS!

Follow Us for Live Coverage and Tips on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/RickOnTheStrip





I'm tempted as always to put in all on Spieth. But, you could make a case for Rahm or Keopka just as easily. I opted to cover several favorites, mid- range and longshots.
Notables
Sergio has the best record here, but, he and Rose use the Claw Grip putting. Not a fan. They both missed several short puts in The Masters using that technique. Rafa Bello could also continue the trend of Spanish domination.
Fowler loves links, but, he'll have to close in a major? No sure things this week.
Dustin and Rory not in the story this week. They could show up and dominate. Neither are on my radar this week - may be a mistake? Jason Day is great at majors and may be the biggest threat of those not in the spotlight this yr.
Spieth has he course management skills and came close at The Open before. I just wish he was talking less and not dismissing dominance - including his own?
Rahm just tore up Europe, so he is worth covering. The question is, will this links course test his temper?  Keopka hasn't gotten much attention and looked a little angry. That may help or hurt his chances.
Stricker has been trending hard. Yeah he's old, but, he was 4th at The Open last year!
Harrington is old as F*ck too, but, he knows how to play these courses and shot low rounds at The Scottish Open. 
Leishman and Kjeldsen rank high recent and at recent British Opens.
Fox, Fritelli, Southgate are trending young stars on EuroTour that are worth a few bucks at huge odds.
Dufner does not rank high, but he can throw darts and sink long puts, like him @125-1.
Tommy Fleetwood grew up on this course and has 2 top 10s going in.
Justin Thomas is having a playoff yr with 2 early wins and 3 top 10s in the last 10 weeks. Hes coming off 2 MC's but can close if you finds his groove.
Daniel Berger is coming off 2 top 5's and could compete.
Last but not least is Xander Schauffele. I loved his mature demeanor and smart play in his recent win. He has the tools to contend and the stones to close. We'll see this week if he is a force to be reckoned with. Worth $5 @200-1.

Here are my personal Rankings and Top Picks.









































My personal bet sheet for Westgate Las Vegas is (below).  I usually use http://golfodds.com to get the odds at Westgate - but they never updated it and show several players scratched (X) that are actually playing - like DeChambeau. So, for Vegas you need to get a sheet at the book.
