Good punting!

the top-4. This will only give us a return of $244 but that is better than what we’ve been getting lately.

Good punting! Max.

Last Week's Bet

Another win … what’s happening? Having won on the European Ryder Cup two weeks ago, I decided to consolidate last week and backed Vijay Singh to finish in the top-4 at the 84 Lumber Classic. Has there ever been a safer bet in world golf? Singh’s victory pushed him two points clear at the top of the world ranking and gave us some much needed betting money.

This Week's Bet
The World Golf Championship series heads to the south of Ireland this week for the American Express Championship at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Mt Juliet course.

Sportsbet had new World No.1 Vijay Singh listed as the hot favourite but the Fijian was forced to withdraw after his Florida home was damaged by Hurricane Jeanne. Given his earnings this year, I suggest he and his family move out of the “Hurricane State”.

Tiger Woods was installed as the new favourite to win in Ireland. Sportsbet has the World No.2 at $5.50 while Ernie Els is at $9 and reigning US Open champion Retief Goosen is quoted at $15 for the win.

Something in my gut is telling me not to back Woods to win at Mt Juliet, despite the fact he won there in 2002. With that in mind, I am willing to lay big on Woods finishing in the top-4, especially at the juicy odds of $2.13.

Good punting! Max.
