    You’ll be playing the same back 3 as you were 3 seasons ago who got battered by an average Barcelona team. I’d be wanting at least 7/2 to go anywhere near them.

    I've just seen Brice Garnett and he looks nothing like I imagined.

    In my mind he's a fat giant of a man who chews tobacco and loves the American 'Frat' life.

    He's not even 6 foot ffs.

    Nothing from the WGC (they are often awkward bastard tournaments, god knows what the computer will make of the Matchplay in a few weeks) but a full place for Garnett in Puerto Rico brings me back 19.50 from 20pts, so not too bad. Also keeps the year's ROI above 100% from 63 golfers backed.

    The next few tournaments stateside are great: Bay Hill next week (was epic last year just as lockdown drew in), The Players, Honda which is fun, and then the Matchplay which I am all over like a rash. Euro regular events are back next week too which are often a happy hunting ground for the computer.

    Arnold Palmer Invitational

    Just the one event this week (European Tour doesn't start again until next week) but it's a good one, Arnie's old event at Bay Hill. Tiger in his pomp was more or less unbeatable here (8 wins) but of late it's turned into a bit of a graveyard for American players, with forriners winning each of the last five editions, most recently Tyrrell Hatton's win last year in brutal conditions. I'm backing that to change this time around. It seems to be one the top yanks dislike for some reason and of their top boys, only perennial villains DeChambeau and Reed appear here, but McIlroy, Hatton and Hovland among others do set up a decent field overall. Unusually, I've decided to swerve all the top players as there isn't much value and they may be in a mode to tune up for the Players next week. Instead, a sextet of middle of the road contenders for your delectation.

    Zalatoris 40/1
    Conners 80/1
    Gooch 80/1
    W.Clark 100/1
    Howell III 150/1
    Champ 150/1

    all e/w

    I hope you're right but he ain't got it just now.

    The closest one was Bryson but he ain't got it either. Cue a McIlroy/Bryson playoff 12 strokes clear.

    No way he's beating these players, place would be great.

    I'm annoyed as Zalatoris was cruising towards a place and then dunked one on 17.

    Bit annoyed not to pick Bryson as I knew he was the choice from the short priced men, but I didn't trust his form at the 12/1 price.

    Still 7pts profit and takes us back above +100% ROI on the year so far.

    Only in golf can the winner thank first his sponsors, then the spirit of Mister Palmer, and then a hospitalised cripple who sent him a text also invoking the spirit of Mister Palmer.

    Glorious nonsense, and the nonsense only escalates with THE PLAYERS next week (their capitals, not mine).

    Jazz is mental at 100/1. Rahm feels like a bit of a 'fool me 83 times, shame on me' situation, but he's gone outside Dustin, Rory (?!) and Billy Beefcake now, whereas I've got him as #1 fav, so back to the well we go.

    I reckon Betfair may have got wise to THE COMPUTER (give it its due) as they consistently price under what you post up now (whereas before they were more often than not better).

    As Mahow says, partly depends on how many places they're paying out for. I tend to use Coral which pays at 7 places, but this week they've gone to 8 places and their odds are so shite that I had to change to Bet365 (also 8). I see Betfair are doing 10 places this week so that probably explains that.

    They've shown no signs of getting wise to it yet (I would be able to tell if they were). You do get tighter markets with fewer inefficiencies, which tend to be the likes of the WGCs and the Masters with the more selective entry criteria. I am working on a model for the WGC Matchplay in a couple of weeks but we'll see if it works. Ryder Cup, christ knows. Lump on America, crack open a beer and enjoy the losses.

    The most likely explanation for the computer's success remains that it's a lucky run, or else much cleverer people than me would have been on it years ago. But then sometimes you can be too clever.

    Betfair also usually offer better odds for the American events. They're a little stingy with the European.
