John Deere Classic betting

Go low, or go home. John Deere Classic betting is simple. Unless your pick is prepared to shoot straight, and fire at the flags, then the odds are he will be heading home on Friday night.

American Steve Stricker won the tournament in 2010 with a record score of 26 under par, breaking the course record in Silvis Illinois by a small matter of four strokes. It was the American’s second win in succession, which highlights the fact certain courses suit certain players and it doesn’t take a genius to work out where predictions of next year’s winner should be focused.

John Deere Classic betting odds tend not to favour those players who have traditionally been able to grind it out on a golf course. American Paul Goydoes became only the fourth PGA Tour player to shoot a 59 in a tournament during the 2010 event and that still wasn’t enough for victory.

Instead, John Deere Classic bets favour those players looking for home comforts. The tournament is played the week before the Open championship in Britain and often players chasing the Claret Jug will give the event a miss, allowing them to prepare for the challenge of links golf. Don’t expect Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson to feature in the John Deere Classic betting odds – they won’t be there.

Online bookmakers are taking an increasing interest in Golf betting in America as the number of European players crossing the pond serves to highlight the globalisation of the game. They are getting the results as well, with UK players winning regularly on the tour and offering value to those basing their predictions around British success.

With the amount of free bets on offer through the internet from your online bookmaker, betting on John Deere Classic success for a European Tour member could prove a shrewd move.

Furthermore, widespread European television coverage of the event ensures burgeoning interest in live John Deere Classic betting. For punters everywhere, following one of the stand-out fixtures of the PGA Tour in real time offers added excitement to live John Deere Classic betting.

Not surprisingly, John Deere Classic bets offer the punter enormous variety: he may select from what score will make the cut; what will be the lowest round of the week; how great will the winning margin be and, of course, who will win - all value wagers for a customer with a free bet to place.

John Deere Classic betting is about which player is in form and ready to go low. Look for the men with the best putting stats when you place your John Deere Classic bet, because, as one well-known golfing journalist explained: “It’s like when the football fixtures come out, we always look for the matches we think can be won by our team, and golf betting is no different.

“There are some tournament which favour the grinder, the man with most patience. Yet John Deere Classic betting odds will favour those players who can blast a driver, flick a wedge and show style with the putter. It’s a staple of golf betting that those with the best touch around the greens will prosper – a no brainer for any predictor. But it is even more the case on the PGA Tour.

“It’s stand and deliver golf, and if you are looking for value for your golf betting, and especially when getting involved in online John Deere Classic betting, look for the players who are not world stars, but steady PGA Tour pros when you are in the market.

“The likes of past winners Stricker, Kenny Perry, Jonathan Byrd, John Senden and Sean O’Hair are not world names, but these are the guys who will offer best value in John Deere Classic betting.”

Indeed, a bet on John Deere Classic success for the home-based stars may be worth looking at as there have been only seven international winners since the tournament was first staged in 1971.

Bank on the low scorers when you place your John Deere Classic bet, and bank on Stricker being among the leading lights
