This week we are headed across “the pond” to The Scottish Open, the pre event to The Open next week, the last major of the year. There have been lawsuits filed to allow LIV players in, and Patrick Reed has now ben banned from the Scottish Open as well. The field will be adding or subtracting players based on which injunctions are lifted or upheld.
The Dear Deere Recap
Last week the Frisky Risky play was Hayden Buckley, 6900 and owned by 4.7% of the field. He finished -10 and earned a top 30 spot for great value and leverage. For those who are counting that’s seven in a row including Frisky SD plays. We swept the board on picks making the cut with the exception of Matt Wallace, our out in left play. I still liked him and actually replayed the tourney on streaming- he still missed the damn cut….(smile)
The Scottish Open Ownership
Draftkings will lock the contests at 1:00 am EST tonight so be aware of your time constraints. We strive to be the most accurate ownership group in the industry, please note that for The Scottish Open Ownership we are posting earlier than normal.
DraftKings is available in Austria, Malta, Canada, (except Ontario) Germany, and Ireland and the entire United Kingdom. There is tremendous interest in the last two countries and the majority will complete their contests between 10 pm and midnight our time. For those of you using restrictions on your optimized lineups we would recommend toggling up 1% to 2% on the most popular European players, but not the Americans. If your optimizer updates ownership %. automatically you may want to boost their projections. For example if you have a restriction that says no Euro player to be taken at more than 15% ownership, we recommend raising that to 17%.
We were hoping that all the Euro players would be full (and happy) from many pints of Guinness beer and pick their teams early.(That’s not golf) The good news is there will be plenty of new players entering as well from our neighbors across the ocean. This only happens twice a year, for this tourney and the Open next week. Players like Fox, Meronk, Arnaus, Perez, Fitz and Fleetwood can expect the boost as well as lesser known Euro players..
Let’s take a look at The The Scottish Open Ownership Projections to assist you with roster construction and team building.

Be sure to check out Spencer’s and Stix’s Bettor Golf podcast on Anchor at Spotify. Spencer’s intricate detailed model intel is the best in the industry. Last week Stix was locked onto J.T. Poston as an outright, GPP, and other categories. At the last minute he switched to Patrick Rodgers, who played well and made him money. He switched the bet and took JT down to a fraction on the outright card. He spoke pure truth when he said one of the biggest cardinal rules you never break is do not cancel or reduce a bet. I’ve been gambling for 40 years and it holds true to this day. Just let it ride. These two titans are up 75 units already this year and that’s with them both betting different markets. They have earned their listeners and subscribers a few hundred thousand this year. It’s available Tuesdays mid evening. Do not miss it.
Don’t forget to tune in to The DraftCast, hosted by Joel and featuring Sia and Spencer and the surprise guest ( lately deep Dive Dave) who drops by to battle you, the audience, for supremacy on the draft board. It’s every Tuesday night at 8:00 EST and is fun, engaging, educational and often leads to threats of thievery of players and possible playful litigation from all involved. (#Deki gate) Show up, tune in, and help your audience win the week with the best team on the board! Someone mentioned last night it’s just as exciting as The Ryder Cup, I had no idea Taylor Gooch listens in, but it makes sense.
Deep Dive Dave won the contest last week, he has been red hot with outrights lately and the streak continues. Spencer is back this week after allegedly purchasing a hotel on the Vegas strip with Stix with all the money they’ve made this year. Joel was completely honest when he told Dave he was going to wait to take Fleetwood until he figured Dave wanted him next and took him right in front of him. Good times for all. Sia helped the audience and I must say they have a strong GPP team. Spencer quietly took some off center picks like List and Woodland, I have a sneaky suspicion he may be on to something. I mentioned to Dave that I love the Scottish people, anyone that would take a sheep’s ass and boil it inside the sheep’s own stomach and then eat it is ok in my book.
As always, I hope to be with you on Sunday afternoon, in the money. You can also come and hang out in the Win Daily Sports Discord Chat to talk it out with everyone before the lock! coming
