British Open Golf - starts tonight

[another grub]

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?

[Dissident]

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!

and by the way its starts Thursday night

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.

[Dutchy]

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!!!

Heres a great bet for ya fellas.......
leader after first round in the golf- vijay singh, ernie els or sergio garcia - all 20/1 all tee off early in the day before heat & wind effects the players. what do you reckon?? looked up tee off times tiger in middle of afternoon...(http://www.opengolf.com/news/tee_times_official.sps - if you are interested)

[Dutchy]

What do you guys reckon after the first round.... Tiger got a safe start..... will be hard to hold out from here...
Where can I get a list of the full results... just too see where Nick OHern is placed?

[Dutchy]

my early bets before r1
Leader -6
Weir 80/1 -4
Jimenz 100/1 -5
Curtis 151/1 +1
Rumford 251/1 -4
Bjorn 34/1 E
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

try this AG

[another grub]

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

[another grub]

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

[Dutchy]

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

[Dutchy]

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

[mighty_tiger_79]

did the TIGER result hurt you?

[Dutchy]

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