US players in the Deutsche Bank Championship have the edge, but you can play them at their own game, no matter what technology you employ, there will always be someone with the information before you.
I traded my way today from a biggish Woods loss to a chunky 4 figure woods gain by taking a contrarian view and ironically not being too greedy, I knew this course would throw up tons of volatility....the layers friend!!!, I guess if you always leave some profit for someone else it goes a long way in these events. Mind you woods going below 1.3 yesterday was a bit hairy for us layers
All the ad breaks would come on and Livingstone would continually apologise and blame the US network that was supplying the pictures.
When I moved down here I was interested to note that their is no studio presentation for the coverage we get. Not only that, there is barely any ads whatsoever. Sometimes an hour or more will pass with no ad.
So what do we see when you have Sky ads or the studio guys? Well, it turns out there's two different additional feeds that are available during the ads depending on which network is hosting.
These can be taken or like Sky you can chose to cut back to the studio or do your own ads.
In Aus, we get the filler feeds. One seems to show players finishing up on the 18th and also continues with the key group.
The other continues to run the scoreboard mixed with news and shots of Aussie golfers.
So sometimes we get to see shots that are then repeated when the normal feed comes back on after the ad break.
With the WGC events, there's loads of different feeds available depending which country you are in. In Aus we get extra shots of Adam Scott etc, while in Japan they get to see any of their golfers a bit more.
So we are all seeing slightly different things, and in order to manage all those feeds their is a bigger dealy on WGC event pictures.
Seems to me that in the UK the viewers are getting the worst of it from Sky. Why can't they show what we get down here? i.e keep the feed coming rather than going back to the studio and ads every five minutes.
Most of the time you are on ad breaks in the UK we are watching some sort of live golf down here, and I presume in many other countries. |
