DraftKings/Betting Notes

  • Golfers that start on 1 should have a slight advantage on DraftKings showdown slates for birdie streaks
  • My betting card is a little bit different this week since I’m going with multiple guys under 20:1, so I have a smaller card with less each ways and bigger outrights
