I’m devastated to report our streak has gone to rest with the all-time heaters in the sky.
After six straight winning campaigns and nearly 40 units of profits accumulated, we suffered a loss last week. Even though it was just .78 of a unit, it’s still sad to see the streak come to an end.
We get back on the horse this week with a variety of golf wagers.
The 2021-22 PGA Tour season comes to an end with this week’s Tour Championship. Unfortunately, the season ends with a ridiculously dumb scoring system. In case you don’t know, Scottie Scheffler will begin with a two-stroke lead on Patrick Cantlay and more than two strokes on the rest of the 29-man field (Will Zalatoris withdrew).
However, many sportsbooks offer betting on the Tour Championship with AND without the bonus strokes awarded. We dabble in both. Just make sure you’re making the correct bet. Will hit all three Tours in action – PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Korn Ferry Tour.
Good luck!
Notes
All bets are measured in units. For instance, if your normal bet on a game is $100, that is one unit. If the bet is listed as .2 units, it’s a $20 bet.
Best line (as of Tuesday) is listed in parenthesis. Find the best price, one key to being a successful sports bettor! Shop around! Remember this is a VALUE-based system, so don’t settle for a price significantly less than the one listed. And jump on better prices!
