Ever watched a tournament and seen an outsider contend or even win? Well I watched the Wyndham a couple of weeks ago and saw the ‘unquoted’ Arjan Atwal win in North Carolina. 175/1 Bill Lunde won Turning Stone and 200/1 Matt Bettencourt won the Reno Tahoe in the past 2 months. It’s more than plausible to back three figure players who contend and win!
The beauty of Market Movers is that by backing with either Extrabet or Betfair you can effectively close the bet in-play and guarantee profit in some circumstances way before the tournament has ended. With Betfair simply lay your selected player to lock the profit. Extrabet’s unique bet close functionality is even easier as they offer you a closing price whenever the market is being traded. Pick the right “Market Movers” and you can’t help but make a profit, from extremely small stakes!
I advise that you read more about the unique Extrabet close bet functionality; this makes even more sense with their current £100 of Free Bets account opening offer. To read more about the £100 free bets promo click here.
Betfair offer a £25 free bet for new accounts - basically if your first bet loses then you get your stake refunded into your account up to a maximum of £25. To read more about this promotion click here.
Please note! These are not each way bets, they are win only. Remember to place your original bet within the Win Market on either Betfair or Extrabet and from their monitor how your player is performing throughout the tournament. My Market Movers this week are:
Michael Sim
80/1 with
£100 of Free Bets;
129/1 with
£25 Free Bet
I featured Sim in my main tips with Ladbrokes at 100/1 who unfortunately don’t offer in-play bet closing functionality. In superb form at the moment and I’m expecting an ‘off the radar” Aussie to contend this week as they have done in previous Cog Hill tournaments. Has a decent record on Rees Jones design courses, like Torrey Pines where he finished 2nd in February.
Ricky Barnes
125/1 with
£100 of Free Bets; 259/1
with
£25 Free Bet
Huge price for a player who has 6 Top 10 finishes in 2010. Barnes showed a liking for Rees Jones designed courses early in his career when he beat Hunter Mahan in 2002 to win the US Amateur Championship at Oakland Hills, Michigan. Ricky also finished 2nd at the US Open in 2009 on another Rees Jones design Beth Page Black.
Y.E. Yang
125/1 with
£100 of Free Bets;
249/1 with
£25 Free Bet
Yang won the PGA Championship at Hazeltine on a Rees Jones design. Has been clearly struggling for from but has shot 4 recent rounds of sub 70 and semi contended in Boston last week. A real momentum player who could easily switch into form this week and as a major winner oozes class when his game is right. In 61st place in the standings so needs to perform this week to make the Tour Championship Huge price for a player who has 6 Top 10 finishes in 2010. Barnes showed
Freddie Jacobson
100/1 with
£100 of Free Bets;
249/1 with
£25 Free Bet
Florida based players thrive in Illinois and fast Freddie Jacobson loves playing in Chicago. Exemplifies the term ‘streaky player’ but when on form he hangs around the top of leader boards through Sunday, although he doesn’t EVER win! The BMW is a target tournament for Jacobson as 8th here in 03, 10th in 05 and also finished 10th when the tournament was played at Bellerive, Missouri in 2008. The Swede has a habit of popping in Top 10 finishes in the Play Offs, which he has done in the past 2 seasons.
Odds and offers correct at 09:30BST 8.9.10 but naturally subject to fluctuation.
