WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship Betting Preview
Hopefully we pointed you towards the value bets in Inter-Man U last night. ’0-0 is always a good result to keep on your side at 7/1′.
The WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship lasts until March 1 and is taking place in Marana, Arizona.
Last year’s winner Tiger Woods is making his return to competition and is the 5/1 favourite, despite some serious negatives. Punters have taken all of the 11/2 quotes and 1/3 of all the Betfair market has been matched on the Tiger.
Tiger is returning from 8 months out and may be sleep-deprived following the birth of his 2nd child.
William Hill have reported thousands of bets, with the biggest so far being £1,800. The serious punters would’ve compared odds on bookies.com and gone to Corals for their 11/2!
Punters are asking whether Brendan Jones (AUS) will ask Tiger for an autograph after their match. Woods is 1/4 to come through the first round, but 2 of his 4 losses have come to Australians here. Jones hasn’t played for 2 months, so you’d really expect this to be one-sided.
Match Play is a funny game and it is going to be difficult for punters to even find someone to make the final. I certainly wouldn’t think about laying Tiger Woods, but you have to question whether he has been over-bet.
Phil Mickelson won the Northern Trust Open last week and is now the World No.3. Sporting Bet go 18/1 and have each way terms for the first 4 places.
Over 6 matches, nobody will be playing their very best golf, which is why punters should have some long-shots on their side.
Andrés Romero (Argentina) has been backed into 66/1, having finished in 3rd in Los Angeles last week.
Anthony Kim and Sergio Garcia will have their supporters at 20s. Zach Johnson doesn’t often make mistakes, and is 70/1.
Meanwhile, Angel Cabrera is another Argentine who is 80/1 with Bet Internet. The 2007 U.S. Open Champion is 13/8 with Stan James to win his first round against Mickelson.
