Buy J J Henry On the "Top Debutants Points Scorer Index" at 15 with Sporting Index for 0.5 Pts M/U 33.33, Profit 9.17 Pts.
I was hoping more firms would have "debutant" related markets but only Sporting have come up with one and although we already have an interest in Henry via the "points scored" bet above, the risk is minimal so we can afford to risk a few points more on this bet. There are six debutants and as per the information above I am staking a good part of the value of these bets on Henry getting the nod on Friday morning and grabbing the opportunity with both hands. If he does get to play three times I reckon that would be the equal of at the most one other player in the market and at least one more than the others.

Bet 4

Buy Woods/Furyk over Harrington/Montgomerie Day 1 MB at 3 with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts M/U 13, Profit 3 Pts
The best two players in the world a week ago (Mickelson has went back to #2 without playing this week?) against the local boy and the European talisman. It's a tough call as you can put a case for all eventualities in this match up but when you put them all in the mix I would expect Woods and Furyk to win more matches than their counterparts and with the 10pts on offer for the win I think the price offered by Sporting Index of 3-5 is probably a better reflection of the chances of both teams.

Bet 5

Sell Stenson/Howell over Cink/Toms Day 1 MB at 2 with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts M/U 0, Profit 0.6 Pts
Disagreement between firms here with others making this a choice bet. The only worry is its two fresh players against two who have little time for rest but that aside I think Cink will take great heart from the way he and Henry came back this morning from a potential large beating. 0-2 is probably the fairest reflection of the chances of these four.

Bet 6

Sell Stenson/Harrington over Verplank/Johnson Day 2 MB at 5 with Sporting Index for 0.3 Pts. M/U -16, Profit 6.3 Pts
This price just seems a little too big considering that with 8 matches gone, all players have seen at least the 16th and 7 of the 8 matches have finished down the last. Yes, the Europeans should be favourite but maybe by 2-4 or 3-5, not as much as 5-7

Bet 7

Buy Woods/Furyk over Harrington/McGinley Day 2 MB at 4 with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts M/U 19, Profit 4.5 Pts
Yes, Woods is playing poorly, and yes, the opposition are going to have a massive home support but playing purely the prices the favourites should be a little more likely to win this foursomes than the price implies.

Bet 8

Buy Garcia/Donald over Mickelson/Toms Day 2 MB at 4 with IG Sport for 0.3 Pts M/U 16, Profit 3.6 Pts
I'm surprised that this price isn't higher than it is given the form of the Spaniard and the lack of form of Mickelson. I'm not the biggest fan of buying in foursomes at too high a price but i expected a price of 5-7 and "no bet". At this price we should play

Bet 9
 
Buy Tiger Woods over Robert Karlsson Singles MB at 6.4 with Cantor Spreadfair for 0.3 Pts M/U 19, Profit 3.59 Pts
For all the poor play, the shots in the water and the missed putts, Woods is currently, with Furyk, the top US Points scorer and knows that he has to perform if the US team is going to make any sort of a challenge.

Bet 10
 
Buy Luke Donald over Chad Campbell Singles MB at 3.4 with Cantor Spreadfair for 0.3 Pts M/U 16, Profit 3.59 Pts
Donald has played in the afternoons as it was felt he was too short off the tee for this course and possibly those beliefs have led to a price here that is backable with the exchange. He has won the two matches he has been asked to win, and will be raring to go and show that it wasn't down to Garcia and that he could have contributed in the four-balls.

Bet 11
 
Buy Darren Clarke over Zach Johnson Singles MB at 3.2 with Cantor Spreadfair for 0.3 Pts M/U 19, Profit 4.5 Pts
Weather dictates this play to a certain extent as poorer weather today plays into the hands of Clarke and whereby the price was value at just over 3 anyway, it may just have went up a rung or two in value. Clarke has done everything asked of him this week and Johnson was on the wrong side of the biggest M/U of the week so far.

Bet 12
 
Sell Padraig Harrington over Scott Verplank Singles MB at 3 with Spreadex for 0.3 Pts M/U -22, Profit 7.5 Pts
History dictates that players who play all four previous matches struggle mentally in the Singles. This year Woods, Furyk, Mickelson, Cink, Westwood, Garcia and Harrington have started all four and it will be interesting to see the win rate of the 7 at the end of the day. The fact Harrington is out last, when it could all be over, faces a player who won his singles in 02 and has been poor, with only one tie, suggests selling at 3 is the call.
