Haven't looked elsewhere, but I think that the 2.74 available on Betfair for Choi to beat Woods in their 2 ball tomorrow is more than decent. Choi has played excellently so far, and is unlikely to be fazed by the pressure of playing against Tiger. Woods is just as likely to shoot 80 as he is 60 and even after todays great round, is yet to prove that he is anyway near top form.

Not sure how anyone can be so comfortable backing Rickie Fowler to be honest, yet to win on the PGA Tour and is proven to be susceptible to a nightmare round. Going ok for my picks so far, all 6 made the cut and Choi and Donald are well in contention. Poulter has played well save for a couple of holes, and Dustin Johnson has made hell of a comeback today. Jimenez will struggle to get up the leaderboard, and Rose has done well to make the cut.

As for a couple of each way bets, I think Yang and Poulter will have legs personally.

He was 46/1 on betfair Fowler, he's 5 shots off the lead. Luke Donald is 2 shots behind him and half the price. Even with a bad round thrown in, he's not definitely going to do that although he may well do it, it's a chance to take. Cos it's a silly price.

Yeah, it is a big price I just can't see him getting close personally (watch him shoot a 63 now

).

Winnings from the National went straight on Woods. Looking like a bad decision now.

screw that manc bastard i really hate him

just lobbed 50 notes on Cabrerra to bum him good and proper tomorrow and grab the green jacket (again).

yes iM pisssed anddont care a fucking jot.

RedStevie1 · « **Reply #245 on:** April 10, 2011, 01:31:48 am »

Haha my bets have been a total fucking disaster! Shit selections anyways. Nothing even close to being in contention, Yang on Day 1 and for a while on Day 2, Furyk got things going at one stage but dropped out of it again quickly. Overstaked as well this week, will teach me for future. Can't wait for next weeks golf, just gonna try and enjoy the last day of the Masters. Got to put more study in each week, been a poor few weeks for me.

And I gotta remember, form really is temporary when it comes to majors when it comes to some players.

My each way shouts of Watson, Jimenez, Woods, and poulter all still alive...PP paying out on the top 5 aswell...not looking likely though..

AdamR · « **Reply #247 on:** April 10, 2011, 03:46:51 pm »

Yang, Donald and Bubba need to push on to get top 5.

Fowler bogged it yesterday the idiot

Horsey just nailed a hole in 1.

I've gone back to backing people a week too early again.

Get on Charl Schwartzel for The Masters.

You best have added him to your list!!

I never. I'm on Scott though. So he'd best sort it out.

Well done to anyone that had Schwartzel, what were his odds before the tournament? Got close with Donald and KJ but neither quite had it, didn't even do Donald e/w so got nothing back. Gutted.

Ah well...back to the grind next week at the Malaysian and Texas Open's.

And thankfully no 'Manc-ilroy' mania.

Wonderful tournament but a terrible betting tournament the bookies must be delighted.

Mickelson and Choi blew it for me bt Rose helped out by havin a nice Sunday to finish in the e/w places in the English players.

Forgot about Ricky Barnes who made the e/w places for first day leader.

Will take a look at next weekends tournaments tomorrow bt Scott won the Texas open last year and is entered again. Ryan Palmer 10th at the Masters had a good finish in Texas last year as well.

Mate. Genuinely. Can you do me a favour?

Do not back Tiger Woods until he wins something? It'll save you a packet.

Let's see if we can get the RAWK double up again this week. We went overboard with the selections a couple of weeks ago but it still would have produced a tidy profit on the week. I'll put the selections up again before play starts on Thursday. I'll take the first two selections each per tournament to try and keep the numbers reasonable.

Texas Houston Open - Hard to not pick Scott who was last years winner who's and who's coming off a 2nd at the Masters. I'll take Levin e/w again this week @ 40/1 WH finished tied 9th here last year and is a better player this time around. Other to watch might be Palmer - good finish at the Masters and was also tied 9th here last year. WenAt to Texas A&M and won at the Sony Open last year so knows how to get it done. My picks Scott and Levin.

Malaysian Open - Different course than last year but generally this tournament tends to produce an Asian winner. Oosthuizen 18/1 has probably been on the ale since Sunday with his mate who won the Masters but I'm going to pick him anyway and also Manesero@ 28/1 .

Seniors again this week. Tom Lehman has been the man to beat and won the last tournament at 7-1 going away on the last day. Same opposition this time around no reason to suggest a different result. Steve Lowery, the biggest scruff in golf is 66/1 @ PP, shot 10 under last time out to finish in 7th place 6 shots behind Lehman.

Hightown Phil · « **Reply #260 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:51:00 am »

I've backed Noh and Mannasero in the European and Scott and Levin in the US.

30/1, 28/1, 12/1 and 40/1 respectively.

I really wouldn't. The only hefty bet I've had on him since his return was the US Open. Apart from that the stakes have been kept small, nowhere near the stakes I was using before.

He gave me hope on Sunday, the rest of my picks really dissapointed, particularly Watney. Although Yang was unlucky to pick up an unjury after his great first round.

AdamR · « **Reply #263 on:** April 12, 2011, 06:22:20 pm »

I'm having a slice of Marc Leishmann (30/1) in Texas and the usual each way bet on Johnny Vegas (80/1)

I will be having a little dabble on Matteo Manassero (28/1) Soren Hansen (45/1) and Robert Rock (80/1)

JM10 · « **Reply #264 on:** April 13, 2011, 02:32:54 pm »

Gone with Charley Hoffman 40/1 and Bo Van Pelt 25/1 in Texas, and Rhys Davies 25/1 and Marten Lafeber 80/1 in Malaysia. All small each-way bets, not really sure why I did Lafeber now, especially at those odds but oh well.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #265 on:** April 13, 2011, 03:55:43 pm »

My main bet in Texas this week is Bill Lunde. Made the cut 9 times out of 10 this season with 2 top 15 finishes. I sniff a breakthough for Bill very soon.
7th in GIR and top 50 in driving accuracy which this course demands by all accounts. A cracking 150-1 on offer at various bookies for Lunde.

Also doing Jimmy Walker in Texas. Local Boy from San Antonio and 3 top 10's this season. Good finish in this last year too. 42.0 Betfair

In the Malaysian i'm backing the promising SA lad Jaco Van Zyl at 80-1 SportingBet. My other bet is a bit of an EW long shot at a naturally big price - Anthony Kang who won this back in 2009 and has played pretty shit ever since to be honest.

Probably do a couple of smaller EW bets too in Texas.

Edit: IN Texas -Additional EW bet on Anders Hansen and Small EW bets on Justin Hicks and VERY promising Rookie Joseph Bramlett

stevenl · « **Reply #266 on:** April 13, 2011, 05:12:34 pm »

On Jimmy Walker each way in the Texas. Knows the course well, and having finished in the top 5 last year, i think the odds on offer are great!

81a · « **Reply #267 on:** April 13, 2011, 07:35:40 pm »

RAWK Double this week - If it was real money I think the concensus would be to make it an e/w double but for the sake of consistancy we'll stick with the win double.

8x9 = 72 £1 doubles.

Texas Open - Scott, Levin, Leishman, Vegas, Hoffmann, Van Pelt, Lunde, Walker

Malasyian Open Oosthuizen ,Manasero, Noh, Hansen, Rock, Davies, Lafeber, Kang, Van Zyl

Buck Pete · « **Reply #268 on:** April 14, 2011, 09:43:56 am »

Good call on Manasero lads - so far

Leader at -6

My 2 muppets are out of it already which doesn't surprise me to be honest. Shit picks on a shit tour

I done Na in a 3ball treble, funny. I backed Chappell and Piller at 999/1 for the Houston Open, both missed the cut that time though, both in top 12 after round 1 here, expect one of them to go well and piss me off, haven't done any outright bets this week.

Hightown Phil · « **Reply #274 on:** April 14, 2011, 11:37:29 pm »

66 for Matteo, 68 for Scott.

Shoulda done the Transatlantic Double!

Buck Pete · « **Reply #275 on:** April 15, 2011, 12:01:55 am »

Na's horror 16 came on the 9th hole. Fair play though he got 3 birdies on the back 9 and the rest Par's.

I did Joseph Bramlett at 880-1 and he was -4 going into the 18th. Yep you guessed it double bogey.

Still -2 for the day but should have been so much better.

Mcilroy back with a bang in todays round.

Manassero could do with a few shots when he picks up where he left off today, lightning halts the round.

Gone in with small stakes on Brendan de Jonge and Troy Matteson in Texas with Leishmann having a mare +7!!

-Gianni- · « **Reply #278 on:** April 15, 2011, 07:20:10 pm »

Free bet from PaddyPower so stuck it on AK at 33/1 for interest.

Well in on Manaserro lads, great shout. I've got Hoffman going ok in Texas, needs a good last round tonight though.
