[b]Back-to-lay
Back Dustin Johnson 6u @ 27.0
Place order to lay 25u @ 4.0[/b]
It is safe to say that champagne will be flowing here at betting.betfair should Dustin Johnson win his first major this weekend. Steve Rawlings makes a very strong case for this South Carolina resident gaining revenge for an unlucky defeat at Whistling Straits two years ago. I wholeheartedly agree. My detailed verdict on Johnson and other 29 leading candidates can be found here, but in short, I would rate Dustin the rightful favourite.
My trading advice is to take the 27.0 before it disappears, staking six units, then place a lay order for 25 units at 4.0. If he hits that target, we'll be guaranteed 19 units profit and retain a 'free bet' for a further 62 units should he win.
[b]Back Ernie Els 3u @ 70.0
Back...
I hate feeling sorry for multi-millionaire sportsmen. It's a character flaw which goes beyond preposterous - and that's even before I check my monthly bank statement, or assess my own athletic ability. In fact, I'm going to make it my New Year's resolution to stop. But before I do, permit me one last journey where I scale the heights of Mount Ridiculous and throw myself off its peak... this time for thinking Ernie [b]Els needs a little TLC[/b].
Save your breath, I've heard the riposte. Three Majors, two World Golf Championships and 60 other professional titles to his name, numerous lucrative endorsements, it's not a bad CV. As for the personal side of things... privileged upbringing, attractive wife, sweet kids and a healthy appetite for good food and wine. There are worse fates, I suppose....
