Next Conservative Party leader
Placed in 2020 - the bet was £3 on Rishi Sunak at 9/2.
Sunak made the final two but was beaten in the run-off by Liz Truss.
Then in 2022 we had £2 on Boris Johnson at 13/2 to succeed Liz Truss.
But it was Sunak!

2022 Open Golf
The bets:
Rory McIlroy to win £3 @19/2
Jordan Spieth £2 e/w @ 14/1
Scottie Scheffler £2 e/w @ 14/1
Patrick Cantlay £2 e/w @ 20/1

Free bets
£1 win victor Hovland @33/1
£1 win Shane Lowry 20/1
Placed by: P
What happened:
All the selections made the cut.
After three rounds McIlroy and Hovland shared the lead, four clear of the field. Scheffler, Cantlay and Spieth were all in the top 12. Win bet only Lowry was just behind but no chance of him picking up the main prize.
Unfortunately the last day didn't live up to the first three. McIlroy, with a 70, and Hovland (74) failed to convert as Can Smith came through with a fantastic round to take the win.
Cantlay and Spieth both finished tied-8th to deliver £17.60 and a slight profit.

2022 - US Open Golf
The bets: (all £1.50 e/w, 1/5 odds, 8 places)
Sam Burns 28/1
Xander Schauffele 22/1
Patrick Cantlay 22/1
Cameron Smith 20/1
Matt Fitzpatrick 25/1
Placed by: P
What happened:
Smith missed the cut but everyone else was in for the weekend.
Burns fell away on the last day to finish five over, Cantlay was a never nearer two over for tied 14th and Schauffele finished on the same mark.
But the winner was Matt Fitzpatrick who had a great battle with Will Zalatoris on Sunday to finish on six under and win by one shot from Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler.
£48 to the pot!

2022 - USPGA Golf
The bets £1.50 e/w for...
Justin Thomas 16/1
Jordan Spieth 14/1
Rory McIlroy 12/1
Marc Leishman 100/1
1/5 odds, 10 places
Placed by: P (recommended by K)
What happened?
All the players made the cut but Spieth and Leishman were never in contention and finished tied for 34th.
McIlroy was the day one leader but slipped away on Saturday before a typical Sunday fightback saw him finish eighth, three behind the winner...
... who was Justin Thomas who overturned a seven shot deficit on the final day to beat Will Zalatoris in a play-off.
£36.90 to the pot.
