The bet: West Ham £5 @ 9/1
Placed By: P
Info:
9/1? When they're already in the quarter-finals? Against a woeful Manchester United side? Surely that's value.
It wasn't. The Hammers lost the quarter-final replay.

5 March - PDC UK Open
The bets: Peter Wright £3 @14/1 and Mark Webster £1 e/w at 50/1
Placed by: P
Info:
This 'FA Cup of darts' open draw tournament creates a minefield so I didn't get stuck in until after the third round draw.
Wright is surely good enough to land one of these and Webster is showing signs of a return to form and has gone deep in this tournament before.
In the last 32 Wright shared the first ten legs with Terry Jenkins before pulling away to win 9-5. Webster dropped just four legs in his win over Dirk van Duijvenbode.
Both players made it into the quarters. Wright saw off Darren Webster 9-5 while our preferred Webster beat Mensur Suljovic by the same score.
In the quarters Wright saw off a fightback from Joe Cullen to win 10-7 but Webster fell 10-3 to Phil Taylor.
Wright made it into the final beating Jelle Klaasen 10-5 but was runner-up for a second season in a row, losing to the same player as last year, Michael van Gerwen 11-4.

26 December - PDC World Darts Championships
The bets: £4 win Phil Taylor at 4/1 and James Wade £2 e/w @ 20/1
Placed by: P
Info:
Both players safely made it through their first round matches.
2nd round - Wade dispatches an out-of-form Wes Newton 4-0 while Taylor struggles early on but overcomes Kevin Painter 4-1. The Artist left rueing missed opportunities.
3rd round - An under-the-weather Wade still has too much for Jamie Caven and wins 4-1. Taylor misses one dart to beat Jelle Klaasen and bows out, beaten 4-3.
Quarter-final - Wade fails to raise his level and is crushed 5-1 by Gary Anderson.

After last week's darting disaster let's see if I can redeem myself with an each way interest on 'Bully Boy'.
I couldn't - it was another second round exit. Bah!

13 August - USPGA
The bets:
£2 e/w Jason Day @ 12/1
£2 e/w Rickie Fowler @ 18/1
£1 e/w Dustin Johnson @ 16/1
£1 e/w Brooks Koepka @ 40/1
Placed by: K
Information:
Another great start from Dustin Johnson who fired in an opening round 66 for the lead. Jason Day wasn't far away with a 68 while Koepka and Fowler both shot 73s.
A slightly delayed second round saw Jason Day as our best-placed player. The Aussie was on nine under, two behind compatriot Mike Jones. Johnson fell back after a 73, Fowler's 70 took him to one under with Koepka at two under.
A superb third round 66 from Day saw him take a two shot lead into the final day on 15 under. Johnson is at 9 under with Koepka (-7) our next best chance of some each-way money. Fowler at three under will need something special to get him in the money.
We have a winner! Jason Day set a majors record at 21 under to win by three shots. Koepka finished tied for fifth seven back and Johnson was a shot further back tied for seventh place. Rickie Fowler was tied for 30th.
It all adds up to a £45 pick up.

16 July - The Open
The Bets:
Dustin Johnson £2 e/w @12/1
Henrik Stenson £2 e/w @22/1
Paul Casey £2 e/w @ 40/1
Matt Kuchar £2 e/w @ 50/1
Brooks Koepka £2 e/w @ 50/1
Information:
An excellent opening round of 65 from Dustin Johnson gave him the early lead. Casey (70), Koepka (71) and Kuchar (71) can be pleased with their opening day's work but Stenson ended with a one over par 73.
Round two was seriously delayed by first rain and later high winds but when that was finally completed on Saturday evening Johnson still had a one shot lead at 10 under. Kuchar is six shots off the pace with Casey and Koepka a further shot back and Stenson one more behind.
Most of our players fell back over the last two rounds. Dustin Johnson posted two 75s to finish at four under, Casey (75, 72) finished at level, Stenson and Kuchar both posted two under par rounds to finish four under and three under respectively. Best finisher of our selections was Brooks Koepka with 69, 68 for a ten under total but that was still only enough to finish equal tenth, five off the winner.
