by @betdetective     Tony Finau led by two shots from Webb Simpson with two holes to play on Sunday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open before ultimately losing to him in a playoff.   The cry of "choker!' from golf fans is one we've become accustomed to hearing when players blow a lead but...

  The Royal Pines Resort hosts the 2019 Australian PGA Championship this week hot on the heels of last week's highly entertaining Presidents Cup.    Driving accuracy and hitting plenty of greens are the keys at this course.    The favourites are Cameron Smith - who is looking to complete a threepeat after lifting the...

  by @betdetective       It's early December and things are hotting up in Oz and this means it must be Australian Open time.   We have as good a field as there has been for a long time with a host of President's Cup picks teeing it up before they head to Melbourne for the...

  by @betdetective Our man @betdetective did an interview for BestBookmakersUSA.com this week. Here it is. PGA and European Tour Golf This week we welcome Mark Phillips aka the Bet Detective (twitter @betdetective) who has kindly agreed to share his thoughts on this week’s golf on the PGA and European tours. Mark has been involved...

Round 19: Bets 4, units staked 5, -2.05 units profit 2019: Bets 117, units staked 127.5, +0.94 units profit at 0.8% ROI     We had nothing last week with a couple of marginal bets going in the bin.   Lots for us this week however so straight to the bets and never mind the bollocks.    Hawks...

Round 18: Bets 8, units staked 10, -0.76 units profit 2019: Bets 113, units staked 122.5, +2.99 units profit at 2.44% ROI   A small loss in round 18 with the Swans going down by a point and the Crows somehow failing to cover against the Bombers. The p/l hangs in the balance....

The 2019 Open Championship preview with Skeeter McGillicuddy   Hi Ho it’s off to Portrush we go! It may not come as a huge surprise that the 148th Open returns to Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951. The significance of this is of no real concern to us since if...

  Round 16: Bets 8, units staked 10, -1.25 units profit 2019: Bets 105, units staked 112.5, +3.75 units profit at 3.33% ROI     We missed round 17 and - typically - we'd have gone 2 from 3 straight up but there's no point dwelling on that when there is round 18 waiting for...

  by @betdetective Skeeter will be along with his outright preview tomorrow and i'm guessing Rory and Xander may feature strongly but with so many markets available and value jumping out of the screen we've got a host of bets in the sub markets to get stuck in to.    First up i've got...

Round 15: Bets 6, units staked 7.5, -5.55 units profit 2019: Bets 97, units staked 102.5, +5.0 units profit at 4.9% ROI   A poor showing from our bets last week saw our ROI plummet. St Kilda caving in against Richmond was particularly galling and sees us leave them out this week in...

  Round 14: Bets 7, units staked 8.5, -7.05 units profit 2019: Bets 91, units staked 95, +10.55 units profit at 11.6% ROI     Bad results for us in round 14 with only the Bulldogs covering and none of our straight up bets getting up. I thought the Dogs had a chance deep into...

Round 12: Bets 4, units staked 5, +1.4 units profit 2019: Bets 84, units staked 95, +17.6 units profit at 18.5% ROI       We had no bets last week but have opportunities in four of the six games in round 14.   First up we have Essendon going to Perth to take on the reigning...

The 2019 US Open preview with Skeeter McGillicuddy The third major heads to the legendary Pebble Beach made famous by the likes of Jack in ‘72 and Tiger in 2000 no less. Not to be confused with the regular PGA Tour event played each February, the Pebble Beach Pro Am, this...

Round 11: Bets 5, units staked 4, +2 units profit 2019: Bets 80, units staked 90, +16.2 units profit at 20.2% ROI       We steadied the ship last week with a couple of winners with the Bombers getting by 41 to get our 40+ bet over the line. Just the two matches for us...

  Round 9: Bets 5, units staked 7, -7 units profit 2019: Bets 75, units staked 86, +14.2 units profit at 16.5% ROI    A total washout last week with all 5 bets going down despite smashing the closing lines. 'You can't eat value' is a saying that is muttered by many a punter...

  I'm travelling this week so wanted to get in early with these bets for round 10.   The Crows are currently -1.5 vs the Eagles with TAB and Sportsbet and this is going to get bigger. I can see the line going off between a goal and two goals in Adelaide's favour...

Round 8: Bets 10, units staked 13, -1.64 units profit 2019: Bets 70, units staked 79, +21.2 units profit at 30% ROI   A case of so near yet so far last week with Carlton at a whopping $10 trading at sub $1.3 in the final quarter against Collingwood and Gold Coast at...

  by @betdetective   Skeeter is otherwise disposed this week so i've got PGA Championship tipping duties and it's a tournament that i've had some success at with winning punts on Keegan Bradley and YE Yang at 200/1+.   My strategy for finding those winners was to look back at the PGA Tour season and...

Round 7: Bets 6, units staked 7.5, +2.05 units profit 2019: Bets 60, units staked 66, +22.8 units profit at 38% ROI     We got back to winning ways in round 7 mainly thanks to the Bulldogs beating Richmond. We got on at +23.5 and the line was into +14.5 by first bounce.      We...

  by @betdetective   The European Tour wings its way to Asia this week for the China Open and there are a couple of players crying out to be backed on this wide open par 72 where driving distance and scoring on the par 5's will be paramount.   First up I like Julian Suri...
