Outright Bets for The Rocket Mortage Classic 2023
The Betting Approach for The Rocket Mortgage Classic 2023
The PGA TOUR heads to Detroit Golf Club for the 5th edition of the Rocket Mortgage Classic where the birdies they will be a flyin! Detroit GC has had some rain, and the weather looks benign for the week with possibly more rain and light winds. We can count on the scoring reaching the mid 20's even in this field that leaves a lot to be desired. But...it's the mules of the TOUR's time to shine with the playoffs looming and elevated fields done for.
In four years, we've seen 2 triple digit outright winners in Davis and Lashley. Given the question marks with seemingly every player at the top of this year's outright board...it's time for #LongShotSZN to pop off in the motor city! Bring on the putting contest, bomb & gouge, scrub lovin, birdie bonanza, high variance shit show! Variance means damn near anyone with a pulse and a TOUR card could win this week, and that hits me in the "V-spot"!

This is NOT Your Mama's Betting Article
I bet on golf for fun. You should too. Life is too short to bet favorites! Therefore, I don't get the betting erection I crave betting guys at 18/1 or 9/1. I realize that may be the sharper way to do things, but F that. I've felt the rush of having a big triple-digit winning golf bet hit...and Daddy likes!
Throughout the season, I'm going to show you my pre-tournament bets, including what I'm risking, odds, and some brief logic behind the pick. I'm actually betting on these guys. I'm taking $50 a week at $10 per unit to show you how I allot my dollars. Follow along, bet with me if you like, or completely fade everyone on this betting card. Up to you. I finished the 2019-2020 PGA Tour season up 10 units over 30 weeks, the 2020-2021 season up 41 units and the 2021-2022 season up 26 units strictly betting the long shot outrights (nothing shorter than 25/1).
Long Shot Outright Bets for The Rocket Mortgage Classic 2023
Effing Denny McCarthy man...how does he not close the deal on a course built for him. He's apparently NOT the Ron Jeremy of the PGA TOUR. Ron would've finished...Anyway, I'm now down 16 units on the season. I wish somebody would finish me.
Sure. There's 11 names on the card. I get it. But...screw you! This is my betting card and I've done it with big balls for 4 seasons now! 10 units, 41 units, and 26 units...that's how I've finished the last 3 years doing it this way...so suck it!
5 names at triple digit prices and your shortest bet being 30/1 certainly allow one to have 11 outs. But, I'm still spending just 5 units to win at least 30 to 40 with a win.
Listen...it's the RMC. I don't want to write up 11 guys. I've talked about every player on this card on either the betting podcast or DFS podcast. If you'd like to hear me break down why I like these guys, then you can go listen. Or, you can DM us on Twitter, IG, or DISCORD.
Alright, off to help write the Chalk Bomb! Have a great week and #BendOverYourBookie!
