Betfair Picks - European Tour

|
Turespana Mallorca Classic @
Betfair
Summary:
Brier gave us a great run but ultimately came up
short. Similar to last week with JL Lewis, his price came right down to
one of our offered lays (@ 11) but only for an odd few pounds and not
enough to record our 3 pts as being laid. Even more annoyingly, there
was hundreds and hundreds laid at under 15, but the significant amounts
only went down to 11.5!!!
1.5 pts staked, 1.5 pts laid.
Selection 1 Back:
Markus Brier 1.5 pts @ 100
(or 80/1 with
Paddy Power)
Not a name you'd usually be concerning
yourself with, but I think there are valid reasons for thinking that
anything above the general top bookies price of 66/1 is a bit of value. A poor
effort last week aside (anyone can be forgiven a MC in a pro-am covering
3 different links courses) and he has some striking current form; from
August thru September he had a run of 15-18-2-16-17 in European Tour
events AND he also secured a Challenge Tour win in his native Austria.
His record in Spain is worth noting too, with 6 top-25s in 9 appearances
since '00, and although I wouldn't be supporting him in a strong
European Tour event this is far from that and I am thinking he is
perfectly capable of improving on his 22nd here last year.
Selection 1 Lay:
1.5 pts @ 21 (to lose 30 pts) **MATCHED**
3 pts @ 11 (30 pts)
6 pts @ 5 (24 pts)
6 pts @ 2.64 (9.84 pts) Profit if successful = 54.66 pts
The lays
are at set prices, based on the original back price, and are left up for
the duration of the tournament. Please note:
they are to be put up as soon as possible after
the market is placed in-running.
