MonthlyJoyride's Tips History
12 May 2024
21:45 Cognizant Founders Cup
Hae Ran Ryu
25 EW
@23.00
Lose
-50
Hae Ran Ryu has ben trending in the right direction in the last few weeks with consecutive good finishes of T9, then 5th and most recenrly 3rd and I like her to carry it over thos this week again with her game built on her accuracy and consistency with being 2nd so far this year in greeens in regulation coming in at an impressive 74%
21:45 Myrtle Beach Classic
Hayden Buckley
25 EW
@151.00
Lose
-50
Hayden Buckley got the low rounds orted when last seen at the Byron Nelson with rounds of 65 and 67 and this time he was able to limit his bad rounds to early 70's scores of 70 and 72 which is a good sign that he is on the right track in raisjng his floor and his ceiling in my eyes is a multiple tour winner so and the maiden win is always likely to arrive in events like this in opposite field weeks.
Kelly Kraft
25 EW
@67.00
Lose
-50
Kelly Kraft arrives here off the back of his best finish of the season with a T13 at the Byron Nelson where he showed the consistency in his game that has been lacking with rounds of 64, 66, 68 and 69 and if he can carry that over here he should be very competitive in this field.
20:10 Wells Fargo Championship
Justin Thomas
25 EW
@26.00
Lose
-50
Justin Thomas' game looked in great shape when finishing T5 when last seen at the RBC Heritage carding rounds of 69, 68, 68 and 65 on a course which is not ideally suited to his skill set and now he arrives here to the scene of the win of his first major championhip where he took down the 2017 PGA Championship.
Max Homa
50 WIN
@23.00
Lose
-50
Max Homa is a previous two time winner of this event and not only with those two wins but also his wins at Riviera and Torrey Pines show how well his game does on courses where ball striking and power combination is the task at hand.
20:00 European Tour 6
Jonny Clayton
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Jonny Clayton is bit by bit looking more and more like the player of a few years ago and as a player who thrives of playing momentum the busier the schedule gets the more it suits him and winning 4 of his last 6 matches before arriving here will have helped in that regard as well as building confidence. His odds look inflated here and I think if he can navigate a tricky last 32 encounter with either Edhouse or Aspinall he then has an easier last 16 matchup and can gain some of that aforementioned momentum and find his feet in the event.
Stephen Bunting
50 WIN
@26.00
Lose
-50
Stephen Bunting will be on a high this week having seen his Masters win earlier this year rewarded with a spot in several World Series events coming up in the next couple of months and will be out to show he does belong with the big boys and with him arguably being on top of the lost of best players yet to win a European Tour title I think he could remove his name from said list this weekend.
19:10 Myrtle Beach Classic
Alex Smalley
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Alex Smalley has been the definition of boom or bust so far in 2024 with a lot more bust to begin the year with 10 missed cuts already to his name but lately he has seen an upturn with making 2 of his last 3 cuts and has converted them into good T6 and T13 finishes with all 8 rounds in those events in the 60's.
Daniel Berger
50 WIN
@23.00
Lose
-50
On talent alone Daniel Berger is the clear class of the field here this week and coming off his most consistent shpwing since returning from a lengthy injury layoff shooting all four rounds in the 60's at the Byron Nelson it could be a big step in his recovery process this week bagging a win.
Erik van Rooyen
25 EW
@26.00
Win
58
Erik van Rooyen has 2 PGA Tour wins to his name and traditionally does well in these oppoiste field events and has come close to another win already this season with good showings with a runner up at the Cognizant and a T8 in Mexico.

17:30 Mainz v Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@2.02
Lose
-50
Borussia Dortmund will be staying professional here and respecting the league and they have only been beaten in 2 of their 16 away league games so far this season.
15:00 Bournemouth v Brentford
Brentford (AH) 0.50
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.86
Win
43
Brentford have regained some of their solidity to end the season and have only been beaten in 1 of their last 7 matches played so I like them with the handicap start here.
15:00 Tottenham v Burnley
Tottenham
50 WIN
@1.36
Win
18
Spurs are on a poor run of four straight league defeats but 3 of those were away from home and the home defeat was to Arsenal so forgivable for most sides and at home they have won 3 of their last 4 so I like them to get back on track here.
15:00 West Ham v Luton
West Ham
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
West Ham players are going to rightly feel like they owe David Moyes a performance in what will be his last home game in charge before leaving in the summer so i think this ia as bad a time as possible for Luton to be visiting.
15:00 Wolverhampton v Crystal Palace
Wolverhampton (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.90
Lose
-50
Crystal Palace have only won 4 away league games this season so pleasantly surprised to be able to get Wolves with the aid of a handicap start here in their last home league game of the season.
14:30 SC Freiburg v Heidenheim
Heidenheim (AH) 0.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.92
Win
46
Heidenheim have only been beaten in 1 of their last 5 away league games so I like them to come away with a result here as Freiburg themselves are winless in their last 5 at home.
12:30 Dirk van Duijvenbode vs Daryl Gurney
Daryl Gurney
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.75
Win
38
Daryl Gurney looks good to add a bit more to his ranking here as he chases down a spot at the World Cup with brendan Dolan already out of this event. These players in this match are in very contrasting form right now with Gurney winning 9 of his last 12 matches played while Dirk is still struggling and has lost each of his last 6.
12:30 Fulham v Man City
Fulham
50 WIN
@15.00
Lose
-50
This is the last home league game of the season for Fulham and they will be determined to end it on a high after making Craven Cottage somewhwat of a fortress this season where to this point they have won 9 of their 18 home league games.
Fulham & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@15.00
Lose
-50
Fulham & Yes for the home win in a game where both sides score looks the value play here as man City are not as reliable at the back as they have been in the past and Marco Silva sides are always well set up to create chances.

21:30 Luke Littler vs Wessel Nijman
Wessel Nijman
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@3.75
Win
138
Wessel Nijman is one of the few players in darts with a positive winning record against Luke Littler with them having done battle on the Development Tour and Nijman will take great confidence here from that fact he has won 5 of their 6 previous meetings.
Wessel Nijman 2.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Wessel Nijman holds a 83.33% win rate over Luke Littler in their previous 6 head to head meetings so getting him at close to evens with a 2.5 leg headstart looks good to me here. He is an undoubted talent and will be a fixture in all the big events over the next decade or so.
20:15 Chaves v Famalicao
Over 2.50
Total Goals
I like the look of the over here in this one, Chaves have seen 4 of their last 5 end with more than 2.5 goals scored while Famalicao have also seen 4 of their last 7 do the same.
20:00 Brest v Reims
Reims (AH) 0.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@2.05
Win
52
Brest have only won 1 of the last 6 head to head meetings between these sides and their current form is not that great either with them winning just 1 of their last 4 league games.
20:00 Doncaster v Crewe
Doncaster
20:00 Nice v Le Havre
Over 2.50
Total Goals
Gmes involving this Nice side of late have been on the higher end of scoring with 7 of their last 8 matches played seeing 3 or more goals scored.
Le Havre (AH) 1.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.95
Push

Le Havre won the reverse fixture between these sides earlier this season and they are unbeaten in their last two league games taking a point against PSG and then beating a good Strasbourg side.
19:45 Standard Liege v Westerlo
Over 2.50
Total Goals
Goals look to be on the cards in this one as 4 of the last 5 head to head meetings between these sides have ended with more than 2.5 goals scored.
19:30 Augsburg v VfB Stuttgart
Augsburg (AH) 0.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@1.90
Lose+Push
-25
Last home game of the league season for Augsburg and they will want to send their fans home happy and protect their good home record this season where they have been tough to deal with and have only lost 4 of 16 to this point.
18:00 Madars Razma vs Chris Dobey
Madars Razma
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@4.50
Win
175
Madars Razma can be a tricky opponent to navigate and Chris Dobey knows that as the head to head record between them is a lot closer than their raw talent levels would expect with Dobey leading 4-3 but certainly on that history would suggest Razma is great value for the win here.
Madars Razma 2.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@2.20
Win
60
Madars Razma has found some form of late and has won 8 of his last 11 matches played including some notable wins over high quality players like Ross Smith and Jim Williams so with a headstart of 2.5 legs here in a race to 6 looks good value.
15:00 Luke Woodhouse vs Ryan Joyce
Luke Woodhouse
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.00
Win
50
Luke Woodhouse is a player on the up as shown by him currently being in a qualification spot for the World Matchplay and he knows every win in the next few weeks culd prove crucial and so far this year he has done a good job of capitalising on qualifying for these ET events by winning 3 of his 4 opening round games.
14:00 Moritz Hilger vs Matthew Dennant
Matthew Dennant
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.20
Lose
-50
Moritz Hilger doene well to come through the home nation qualifiers for this event but it was a qualification campaign that both started and finished with averages in the 70's and no higher than 84 in between whereas Matthew Dennant to qualify had to beat experienced veteran Mervyn King as well as the in-form Luke Woodhouse.
13:30 Haupai Puha vs Franz Roetzsch
Franz Roetzsch
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.50
Win
75
This will be a European Tour stage debut for Haupai Puha and in the past he has taken time to adjust to new surroundings in both Lakeside and PDC World Championships so I expect some nerves from the Kiwi here and am happy taking him on at a decent clip of odds against.
Franz Roetzsch 1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.83
Win
41
Taking Franz Roetzsch +1.5 egs in this one with home crowd backing on his side and he has been getting more in the winning habit of late with him winning through four rounds and making runs to the last 16 in his last two Challenge Tour events played.
12:00 Sebastian Bialecki vs Jose De Sousa
Sebastian Bialecki
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.60
Win
80
Jose De Sousa is in a real dip in terms of both performances and results right now and his confidence must be near an all-time low. He has lost 14 of his last 17 matches across all competitions and on the other end of the scale the young Bialecki is just building confidence playing mostly Development Tour darts and he arrives having won 7 of his last 10 matches.
Sebastian Bialecki 1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.83
Win
41
Sebastian Bialecki +1.5 legs looks good to me here. This will be his 5th appearance on the European Tour stage and while he lost his first two and looked a bit like a deer in headlights he was since won his two most recent appearances as he gains more and more comfortability on the stage in what is still a very youthful career.

Michael Smith

@1.91
Win
46
Michael Smith is hitting form at just the right time to make a run towards playiffs night, he has won 10 of his last 11 matches played including bagging himself a title in PC9 just this week.
19:45 Luke Littler vs Peter Wright
Peter Wright
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@5.50
Lose
-50
Peter Wright showed signs of life at the most recent pro tour event where he won through tot he last 32 and in his only previous meeting with Littler he out in argaubly his best showing of the PL so far this year and only lost in a last leg decider. Littler is already qualified for finals night and this is the first time we see him playing with nothing on the line so I make Wright good value at these odds.
19:15 Michael van Gerwen vs Gerwyn Price
Gerwyn Price
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.10
Lose
-50
Gerwyn Price has been playing better than MVG in recent months without really getting the results his play would merit and if he can hot his finishing at a decent rate his superior scoring power shoukd earn him enough chances. MVG has averaged 95 or less in 6 of his last 9 matches played.

@1.88
Win
44
Oxford Utd have won the last two head to head meetings between these sides and done so by an aggregate scoreline of 6-0, they have a more experienced side of the two here which could prove vital in a high pressure situation.

Diego Schwartzman
Win Match

Aleksandar Vukic has lost each of his last 5 matches coming into this and in their only previous meeting which took place in Toronto last year it was a straight sets win for Diego Schwartzman.

Lucia Bronzetti looks good for the win ere, she is much better equipped when it comes to clay play as her record shows with a winning year in each of the last 6 on this surface while Kenin has a losing record over her last three seasons on clay.

Drumgill was in truth outclassed at Punchestown last time out but is dropping in class of field significantly here and prior to that it was a much more impressive runner up finish at Bellewstown, look for that maiden victory to arrive today.

Lauren Davis is on a run of five straight defeats and has also lost 9 of her last 10 matches so taking her on here against Angelique Kerber who on hard surface has a significant power advantage.

Chris Dobey was PC7 earlier this year and was in good form again yesterday where he made a run to the quarter finals before losing there despite averaging 102. He averaged more than 101 for the day yesterday across his 5 games.
Danny Noppert
25 EW
@23.00
Lose
-50
Danny Noppert never got going yesterday as he was edged out in a good quality opening round game but he is one of the most professional players on tour which I think stands in good stead in the second of these two day blocks. I like his solid and consistent game to bring him to another title today.
11:30 Mirra Andreeva vs Paula Badosa
Mirra Andreeva

Lyon have won 3 of their last 4 league games played with the only disruption being a defeat at PSG and away from home they have been on a good run too winning 4 of their last 5.
19:45 Udinese v Napoli
Napoli
50 WIN
@1.95
Lose
-50
Udinese are right under pressure near the bottom end of the table and it is telling in their perfromances as they have lost their last 3 home league games in a row and Napoli are not ideal visitors up next as they have won more away league games than they have home this season.
17:00 Salernitana v Atalanta
Atalanta
50 WIN
@1.33
Win
17
Roma's back to back draws have opened the door for Atalanta now with two games in hand to chase them down for 5th spot and travelling to a Salernitana side who have lost 11 of their 17 home league games this season should be 3 points in the bag.
12:00 Players Championship 9
Danny Noppert
50 WIN
@23.00
Lose
-50
Danny Noppert has been playing well enough this year to have multiple titles to his name and he eventually bagged one when winning the most recent floor event in PC8 and having won two flooor titles last year it would be no surprise here if he were to go back to back in them.
Gabriel Clemens
25 EW
@81.00
Lose
-50
Gabriel Clemens will be spurred on by the recent winning of a Euro Tour by his compatriot and World Cup teammate Schindler and he himself has been close multiple times to breaking his duck in terms of PDC titles. He's been playing better than his bare results suggest this year and has had some confidence building wins on the Euro Tour himself beating the likes of Wright, van Duijenbode, Pikachu and Chisnall. I think he could break through this week in Germany on this set of Pro Tours.
