I just wanted to say thanks to Alf for giving the realistic picture on betting golf matchups.
This is not directed at anybody personally, other than myself.
I may not know a ton, but I do know that anytime you have someone who releases plays that win on a smaller market, then you are going to have to fight like a son-of-a-bitch to get a playable line.
You can't find easy winners released by someone else, and have an easy time getting the number, so do yourself a favor and don't even expect it. That way you won't get disappointed when you find yourself constantly chasing the line 10 cents or more from the listed price.
If someone's plays win, guess what, everyone is going to be on them, and many of the people fighting to play them are very, very, good at getting down on the plays fast, and for a decent chunk of money. And the books are going to try hard not to get slaughtered on those plays, so they'll take countermeasures to make things a little more difficult, but not impossible for the bettor.
There's only one way to guarantee yourself a good price on small market stuff and that is to make your own numbers and slam them at the open.
In my humble opinion, I would be happy to get 35% of his plays at playable numbers.
But if I think I'm just gonna log in, mosey on over to the golf section, and start hammering at his release numbers, it's just not gonna happen.
All I'm saying is don't go nuts when you have trouble getting good numbers and/or finding his matchups.
