Shumpty’s Punt: Wednesday Wager

It is time for the FedEx Cup portion of the USPGA golf season kicking off with the Barclays Championship. I have a couple of bets that could see a good return for punters. Markets don’t close until tomorrow afternoon but, as always with the golf, it is always a good plan to get on early.

So, here are my thoughts for bets on the Barclays:

Finish in the Top 5: Can’t go past Keegan Bradley here. He has 5 top 5 finishes this year and is 10th in the FedEx Cup points standings. A big tournament player who can get on a roll and post a low number. Paying $8.00 to finish in the top 5.

Finish in the Top 10: I am going to go with a bit of a roughie here and pick 20 year old phenom Jordan Spieth here. Unless you follow golf you probably have not heard of the bloke but with 7 top tens out of 19 starts this year he is certainly a player of the future. Paying $5.50 to finish in the top 10.

There are couple of wagers for this Wednesday that might be enhancing the bulge in one’s wallet by the end of the weekend.

Good luck and good punting.
