Before the US Open golf began i had an e'way bet on Rocco Mediate at 300/1 and now he finds himself in a play-off with Tiger Woods.
Woods 2/7 "with who i can get a bet on with" and as such was thinking of having a few hundred £££ to edge my bet.
Advice very welcome please.
Thanks in advance.

How much was your original stake?
At the end of the day thats all you stand to lose.
Lay off and Mediate wins and you could of just cost yourself a couple of hundred x your stake.
All about how much you stand to make guaranteed after you have done it compared to leaving it alone.
The one plus if you do lay off is at least you could watch the playoff tonight in relative calmness.

suely though you would have to butat least a thousand on woods, therefor, not worth it, how much was you stake.. £2 each way? did you get quarter the odds? soif he comes second you get £152 but if h wins you get £754, so you would need o put at least 300 on tiger to win just undera to, not worth it is it mate
edit
so £5 each way i £380 if he comes second or 1885 if he wins. if you put £700 on woods you only winning £200 so not worth it in my opinion,

Put £350 on Woods to get back £450 "including stake", so in effect if Woods wins ALLTOGETHER i get back £840 approx a profit of around £500.
Sums may be a little out as i cannot be bothered to work it out due to an headache.
Go oarnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Rocco.

Look for speciality bets
eg
Woods to win by 1 shot, 2 shots etc etc
You will get bigger odds
Dont know if the bookies do them, as I rarely bet on golf

Nows the time to get on Woods in running
Must be a shade of odds against now if you want to lay off a bit
Good luck again

Is it a sudden death play off if they are all square again, or over four holes?
Bin quite exciting anner it, twists and turns

Post by Maccca100 on Jun 16, 2008 20:06:01 GMT
not sure mate, normal format on all other majors is 4 holes, but this may be sudden death.. as its the only major to have the 18 hole play off
