Anyone see any value in the golf? I think Nick OHern to be leading Aussie @ $9 is the suggested bet.... he has been working up to a good tournament.
Anyone know what this handicap betting involves it is first listed under golf on TAB sportsbet.... How does it work?

I like Lonard still - not bad odds.
Adam Scott would be my pick as to who it would be.

golf is great for a punt, as mentioned before I like jumping on after the first and/or second round on players 4-6 shots off the pace, usually huge odds and its doesnt take much to bridge the gap (i.e. I got on Ogilvy @ $26- after the first round in the US open)

The handicap betting is interesting but my take is it is just like the line betting in footy...you get their final score and then take off the handicap and the winner is the lowest score from the group...interesting but dont know if it will take off!

plenty of time to do the form then Dutchy....interesting bet the handicap.... wouldnt you be better off backing a dud with +12 or+13... youd be in it for a long way.

correct - it doesnt appeal to me unless you like a bloke with a big handicap...you would never back Tiger at scratch as he would have to win by 10 shots for you to be safe with this bet!!!

What do you guys reckon after the first round.... Tiger got a safe start..... will be hard to hold out from here...

Perry 80/1 +1

pretty good start for these bets, all should make the cut, especially happy withRumford, Jiminez and Weir...cmon boys!!!!

Ohern is at -2, good player but never won a tournement in Aus let alone a major, placegetter only.

Alright Im putting these on today -

Hensby 81/1 4 under
Lehman 81/1 4 under
Verplank 101/1 2 under
Campbell 101/1 2 under
Bjorn 81/1 Even

thanks dutchy.... might have $5 on each of those for an interest.

Ernie or Tiger..... 2 horse race.

Posted: **Sat Jul 22, 2006 2:17 pm**

I like Ernie so might look at covering on him, has more experience on these type of courses than Tiger

Posted: **Sun Jul 23, 2006 10:29 pm**

Alirght Im going to try and pull a profit out of this train wreck so far.

Just put these bets on via Betfair -

Ernie Els - $6.20 ($5-00 Centrebet)
Sergio garcia - $8.20 ($7-00 Centrebet)

Im going to lay* Tiger, not convinced he should be so short, in for a long night

Posted: **Mon Jul 24, 2006 7:09 pm**

did the TIGER result hurt you?

Posted: **Mon Jul 24, 2006 8:02 pm**

Big time!...i always risk Tiger which sometimes pays off but somtimes kills me!
