For Jamie Donaldson, this tournament is the love and hate.

In this week, the 4 players with the best possible option that maximize the return in The Open Championship 2015 are:

DUSTIN JOHNSON - TOP 5

For this week, we chose Dustin Johnson as the player who will be among the Top5.

Its history in this tournament shows, he likes to play here and will surely make a great game.

RICKIE FOWLER - TOP 10

The California player,likes to play at St Andrews, and he proved last year when he made a second place in this tournament.

We hope that Rickie make a great tournament and is a favorite to enter the top 10

ADAM SCOTT - TOP 10

Despite not getting very good positions in 2010 and 2011, in the last three years been in the top 5 in this tournament.

We hope to improve their performance last year and get a good position.

SHANE LOWRY - TOP 20

Although he has not achieved very good results in this tournament (his best place, was the last year with a 9º position) watching its evolution, we can see that can be the surprise of this tournament.

PICKS

Our picks for Open Championship 2015 are:

Player	Event	Position	Odds	Stake
Dustin Johnson	Open Championship	Top 5	3.75	1/10
Rickie Fowler	Open Championship	Top 10	3.25	3/10
Adam Scott	Open Championship	Top 10	3.25	3/10
Shane Lowry	Open Championship	Top 20	3	3/10

In this post of picks, we describe the 4 players with the best possible option that maximize the return in John Deere Classic 2015.

JORDAN SPIETH - TOP 5

After the brilliant start of season of the new american pearl, this is a tournament that he has won previously (2013) and 7º in 2014, so we anticipate that this year can “catch” something big again.

According to statistics, we see that is a field that dominates, since between 2013 and 2014, he did 44 birdies, 46 pairs and has managed only 8 bogeys.

This shows the strength of the player in this field.

ZACH JONHSON - TOP 5

The Iowa City player, has won a one victory in this tournament (2012), 3 seconds places (2009, 2013 and 2014) and a third in 2011.

Note that Zach Johnson has only played around over par in last seven years in this event (it was in the third round of 2008 and made 75 strokes). Another important aspect is safety from the tee and the street, as it has not committed any penalty (penalty stroke or dropping) since 2008.

To this should be added that it is the players who hit the ball longer, with an average of 300 yards off the tee. This coupled with 136 birdies and just 36 bogeys and 3 double bogeys makes it a strong candidate for the title

STEVE STRICKER - TOP 10

We could say that this tournament, is the quintessential tournament of Steve Stricker, because in the last five years has been achieved, no more no less than 3 consecutive victories between 2009-2011, also, in the years 2012-2014 has achieved three top 15 finishes, including a 5º in 2012 and 3º in 2013.

As an additional point for Stricker note that in the period between 2009 and 2014 has never fallen 70% of greens in regulation (we can deduce their safety in this field and the success with the irons of the player).

All this adds to trust this player to victory on Sunday.

TIM CLARK - TOP 20

For this week we have trust on Tim Clark, as in the previous four years he got a fifth in 2014 and seventh in 2012.

The South African player conveys confidence, in 2012 he got an averaged around 67 strokes (4 under par) and in 2013 66 (5 under par), this shows us that this field gives him the confidence to deploy their game, short distance but reliable from tee to green (average 80% of streets and 80% greens in regulation ).

What is GBS?

GBS is a sports betting system for golf, using techniques of Machine Learning, which will provide a reliable model to bet.

Our investment strategy is based on Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. We develop a statistical model for each tournament in order to predict the positions of the most likely players that can finish at the top of the classification.

We will give picks for the European and PGA tournaments every week (sometimes, there are restrictions in some specific tournaments because the data we have collected is not complete so it can’t give us a precise model, but normally will be both tournaments).

In this blog, we will be collecting predictions of international golf competitions, that way, you can test the effectiveness of our model.

Strategy

• Long Term

• Fixed stake 5% of the bank (we are studying f-kelly criterion with Montecarlo simulations to check out if it’s feasible)

• 4 players with the best possible option that maximize the return i.e: the TOP 5 / TOP 10 / TOP 20 bet for each one
