Going to be tight. He’s T-71 now with his round over.

 

Currently T71. Need six more guys at +2 to drop to +3 to save the vaunted $112.50 payout.

 

Lot of guys still out there. Not over yet.

My own damn fault. I never checked his tee time, assuming that he would not poop himself today. Otherwise I would have just bet against him vs Rory today as a hedge.

 

I generally hate rooting for people to fail. But I will make an exception for 6 players today.

 

I won’t overtly bet both sides of a wager at the same shop as I’m concerned that an express lane to get booted. I simply didn’t check the tee time. Then I look for when he’s teeing off and I can’t find him on the board. I keep looking. Then I see he’s 5 over and 91st. Pure horror.

 

T68. We’re getting there slowly.

If nothing else, this gives me something to keep an eye on during a light Friday soccer card.

WH has a $25 soccer bonus each week if you win five $10 spread bets. I hit 5 of 7 yesterday (laying the other side off at other books). Between that and DK’s promos (that MMA one was a guarantee $60 profit with the hedge), its great. Their straddle is way too big but they offer so many side bets for soccer that I can get myself out of trouble.

Last night, I had O2.5 for Columbus-NY in MLS. That didn’t cash but, upon the first goal, I hit U3.25 on Asian total, added 1-0, 1-1 and 2-0 correct score bets at halftime. Finished 2-0. The original bet didn’t cash but 2-0 and U3.25 did, all at healthy plus money. Up 3 units.

of course then I overslept on tiger’s tee time. Idiot.

However, when I’m disciplined and a pig and not a hog, I’m doing really well. Up almost $850 the last five weeks.

 

Billy Hill won’t let you play both sides for a bonus. Also, it won’t let you add a duplicate bet at the same odds. The odds have to change first before it’s allowed.

 

We're going to make the cut here, right? Now at T66. What a sweat this turned out to be. I assumed, at +5 on 15, we were long gone.

 

Even if. So when I'm playing off lines against books, I place the bet first with WH. It's not a great interface, unlike DK and two of the local books.
