The Open Golf Championship

[Beanie]

Aye, dunno what Hensby though he was up to david. +4 over the first two holes, yet you couldn't seem to wipe the smile off his face.

I'll give him something to cry about

[david]

enjoying his golf? how dare he.

i was in work watching it today and told one of the boys i was on hensby. im in the middle of something and he shouts over.

"mate, look at the tv, watch hensby go". i thought he was about to tell me he had eagled to in a row to go clear

instead takes a 7. and my mate just laughs

never mind. hes same price now as he was at the start


ill just need to pick some cracking 2 ball victories over the weekend to get back on track

[kompressaur]

ok put up some w/o woods betting. I'll see whats on the thread to add. Ive closed off the match bets effectively as i cant see the odds but i can reopen them if someone mentions a link.

Odds from Ladbrokes who are offering you a free £25 bet on the golf

Does anybody think I should lay woods off ? or is he still a good thing ? not standing to win a fortune but a decent lift all be it

[Oddsfellow]

Bigkegman,

I really dont think Woods would blow it from here, but at 1.37 i think it would be worth laying your stake off. A likely scenario with tomorrows calm conditions is that somebody will come from the pack before Woods tee off making the 1.37 drift slightly, so i reckon you could even trade it afresh from here.

[Bigkegman]

true. never thoguht about woods having a later tee off.

Thanks oddsfellow - great point

[Beanie]

Had a few nice matchbets today(Paddy Power seem to offer some nice mythical ties) so not too much damage done in the tourney.

If Singh, Campbell or Faxon(never did manage to lay him off) can charge tomorrow and somehow win i'll be dirty rich, and Clarke placing top 5 would help nicely too.

Lawrie v Donald is an intruiging one. Might fancy Norman's chances against Hensby too - Norman has been really steady, while Hensby is the definition of inconsistency.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

[kompressaur]

go on Monty!

[fasteddy]

I can't believe the way this is panning out...every time Woods makes a slight error...the rest fcuk up as well....Woods drives into a nasty bunker and Monty overhits the par 3!!
EVERYTIME!!

[kompressaur]

looks good Parahandy. Anyone tell me the results of these 3 bals please

Calcavecchia/Dyson/Sabbatini (Sabbatini)1/111 F(0.01) 3150
Cejka/Duval/Weir (Cejka)1/111 F(0.01) 150
Furyk/Maruyama/Singh (Maruyama)

[FC Basher]

Cejka - won
Sabbatini - lost
Marayuma - lost

Cejka 74 and still beat the two no-hopers
Sabbatini shot 72 and got beat
Marayuma shot 77!! quite unbeliveable and still beat Fuyrk,but was never going to beat Singh

[fasteddy]

Lovely surprise just now...forgot I'd backed Faldo in the "Yesterday's Men" market
@ 16/1..!! luvvly jubbly...It had been a total wipeout on the rest , but thank you Sir Nick.....now, where can i get rid of these winnings...mmmmm

[Parahandy]

I've been away since Friday morning so didn't have any more bets. It's been a good weekend for me.

Michael Campbell beat Thomas Bjorn (18 hole match up 69 - 72) -
1.88
Michael Campbell beat Angel Cabrera (72 hole match up - Cabrera didn't make the halfway cut) 2.00
Adam Scott beat Lee Westwood (72 hole match up - Westwood didn't make the halfway cut) 1.88
Graeme McDowell beat Trevor Immelman (72 hole matchup - by 1 shot) 1.88

Two minimum stakes bets on Michael Campbell 75.00 and Adam Scott 40.00 on betfair went south but those didn't make much of a dent in a nice overall profit.

As I mentioned earlier, I've played golf for a long time and taken a keen interest in the Pro tournaments but until this season have only had a very rare bet on a Major and never done matchups, 3 balls, Groups etc. Might be taking more interest now, though to do proper research covering the US and European Tours would be time consuming.

Aye Para, would be good if we could get a few people in the know posting on a fairly regular golfing thread, and there seems a few from the basis of this thread.

Even if its just for the bigger tournaments if your hitting 4 from 4 it looks promising.

Plus, it might save me putting up my stabs in the dark :

[traeth]

Thanks Para
I had a e.w. bet on Cambell after your recommendation- if only he had holed that last one he would have come equal third instead of equal 5th with six other but i got a minimal return - Poulter missed by one shot 5th place!

cheers and keep us informed mate
