Is 15/1 on Woodsy a bit tightfisted?

imo yes. very. if you fancy woods you may have missed the boat as a double on tiger woods and tiger roll would've paid well over 100-1

His write-ups (first link) are worth reading through but make your own selection from it. Cabrera-Bello to be played with the view to laying off is a good shout and I did the same with him in 2017. He's a very talented golfer but has too many mistakes in him. Charley Hoffman is also a good shout for this too after hitting some form the past couple of weeks and form for a good start at Augusta. Personally, I think Speith will win. He's been in terrible form but some of his scrambling last weekend makes me thinking he's gearing up for this but despite his bad run he's still way to low for me to back him. Perhaps if not Speith, Fleetwood or Rose. I do think it will be somebody within the top 20 this year, so no big earners like Reed was last year for me. £50 e/w stake on Rose with Paddy Power (paying 10 places) is a decent bet, still making my mind up on some more value outsiders for a bit of fun.

I've had 2 E/W bets so far on Eddie Pepperell and Brandt Snedeker at 100-1 and 66-1.
Probably have a couple more before it so kicks off.

John Rahm or Brooks Kopeka...Would love Aphibarnrat to win, met him loads of times and a real nice guy.

I usually have about 5 players, and more often than not get the runner up! Love the tournament, just gives it a bit of spice, being in the running at the end. So far I've picked Fowler, Matsuyama and Leishman. I might stick at that, actually!

I remember somebody, I can't remember who it was, saying that you could put a decent standard club golfer on the edge of the green at Augusta and the professional would still get down in less shots from the competition tees and beat him over 18 holes. The greens must be absolutely ridiculous to play on.

I play off 18 and class myself as a half decent putter, but when I go to nice top notch courses in this country I struggle on the greens and I bet they aren't even half as fast as Augusta and then chuck in the undulations and they must be impossible.

I run a stables tournament at work, pick 4 golfers with combined odds of 251.00, all golfers above odds of 101 are capped at 101. Any golfer who misses cut gets score doubled, any golfer who makes the cut but then implodes in rds 3&4, gets score capped at 2xCut. Its good crack and keeps everyone interested..... Molinari and Scott for outright Also had Kizzire, Wise and Woodland for 1st Rd leader.

Molinari and Scott for outright Also had Kizzire, Wise and Woodland for 1st Rd leader. Boy that sounds complicated! Here at work we have fantasy golf. There are 10 of us with $50m to spend. We do an auction draft. Top 10 in world rankings min $10m. Top 25 min $5m. Rest $1m. We can get up to 8 golfers but then only play 4 for each major. Points are then awarded - 1st 20 Top 3 15 Top 5 10 Top 10 6 Top 20 4 Top 40 2 Made Cut 1 We also get 2 bonus points for 3 players making the cut and 5 for all 4 making the cut. We used to do it by prize money but that skews it far too much towards the winner. The points means a good group beats a good player.

I don't generally bet on the golf, but if Bryson DeChambeaux ( think that's how you spell it), is still in the hunt after round one, I might have a small wager e/w on him. I would love Justin Rose or Tommy Fleetwood to win it though!

Thsts the one thing I wish Sky would do more, I've no idea how easy it would be but when I show people the Masters it's really hard to express just how huge the undulations are across the course! Can only dream of the days of getting down to 18!

I've done about half a dozen players this morning, some straight win(because of the prices), and some e/w. As I said, I don't bet on much other than the horses, maybe football now and again, but this tournament is absolutely superb. Bryson is doing alright, but I'm also liking the look of Jon Rahm. You may have noticed I'm a bit of a daft old bugger, some will say a lot of one, but whenever Rahm plays, I sing, Rahm, Rahm, Get around, I get around, Rahm, Rahm, Get around, I get around, and so on, to the tune of, I Get Around, by The Beach Boys!

Post by redstriper on Apr 13, 2019 23:03:50 GMT
molinari just doesn't make mistakes so hard to see anyone overhauling him. With wind forecast his straight hitting should be an advantage.
koepka didnt hole much today but had loads of chances so he's the one who might do something special.
tiger surely cant be as lucky tomorrow.

Molinari's putting was sublime yesterday. I've got three player's still in the hunt, with a possible fourth if he can make a run at it. Bryson's gone for me now though! Nearly did that Xander Schauffele. He's in with a chance, and seems to play with a smile on his face. Really looking forward to the final round!

Anyone reckon Woods can do it?! I think Molinari will hold on personally but it should be good to watch.

Most of golf will be rooting for Tiger. People come to see him. If he wins it will be as big as Nicklaus winning in 86
Tiger would be pretty much the biggest name on the list of time between majors. I honestly believe if he can win one he will beat Jack
