Well the first game didn't really go as planned! Well I mean it did but I solely took the bet being an Arsenal fan and was hoping for a draw. I mean it could have been worse but 2-0 to the defending champions with quite a few key pieces missing due to international / world cup ties! Either way I liked the odds but probably shouldn't have taken the bet!
The second bet was a beauty! Koepka played the way Koepka was expected to play. Calm cool and collective on the back nine even with Tiger playing like vintage Tiger. I'm sure Brooks could hear the roars off the fans a hole ahead multiple times on the back nine and he knew that Tiger was clawing back into the thick of things, along with his partner for the round Adam Scott.
In the end Brooks made a few key puts on 15,16,17 to take a two shot lead going onto 18 and as calm as he was he hit it right down the pipe on 18 which essentially sealed the PGA Championship for him.
With that he is only the 5th player to with the US OPEN and the PGA Championship in the same year.
Congrats Brooks

ROI = (Gain from Investment - Cost of Investment) / Cost of Investment
This is a very simple formula to see the gains from your investment! My calculation for example was.
ROI = ((4 x 2.43) (Gain)) - ((6 Stake) (Cost of investment)) / ((6 Stake) (Cost of investment))
ROI = 9.72 - 6 / 6 = 0.62 (make it into a percentage by 100%) = 62% :)
