Bets 2, Wins 1, Losses 1. Loss 0.9 Pts
With coverage of this tour on Setanta this year, Sporting Index have
issued prices for the first event of the year.
Bet 1 - Sell Henrik Bjornstad over Matt Weibring 18H MB at 5 with
Sporting Index for 0.3 Pts M/U 0, Profit 1.5 Pts
Weibring's 2006 record consisted of 5 Top 20's which was fairly average
but at least he contended whereas Bjornstad had a nightmare on the main
tour finishing outside the Top 30 in 27 of 31 starts. It would be hard
to argue that Bjornstad shouldn't be favourite here, he should, but the
gap in quality between the players may not be as high as the 5pt start
you get supporting Weibring and it should be taken.
Bet 2 - Sell Ricky Barnes over Danny Ellis 18H MB at 5 with
Sporting Index for 0.3 Pts M/U 13, Loss 2.4 Pts
Barnes played on this tour last year obtaining 5 Top 10 finishes, whilst
Ellis played on the main tour struggling, not unlike Bjornstad. However,
back on the Nationwide tour where he had 5 Top 6 finishes in 2005
suggests the gap in quality between these players should not be as much
as 5. In both cases the prices should be closer but for different
reasons. |
