Get your money on Furyk  

I had some money on Furyk Ante Post - so chopped the down side risk and get to free roll tonight.

Not convinced but will cheer on with you.

Isn"t he just a total donkey. Really needs to sort that "swing" out

Here is my latest attempt to land a golf bet this year.

Niclas Fasth for the PGA Championship.

Started with a 4 under 68 yesterday - one off the lead - worth a shout at 33/1 (Betfair).

Value?

US Open this weekend ... weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I got my main pick Poulter at 90/1 and, as I had £4 on my SkyBet account, I threw £2 on Casey at 25/1 and £2 on KJ Choi at 125/1.

Julia picked her "two hunks" Harrington at 50/1 and Villegas at 60/1.

WillHill offering the best odds on 26 of the top 30 players so dep"d there this afternoon.

... I have money on O"Hair ... but starting to think it might be a Tiger week!

[ThinkerJE]

My 3 against the field;

Ogilvy, Casey & O Hair.

I am on EW in the without Woods market, as I think the Tiger may cruise to victory (but can"t back him at 2/1).

[Honeybadg]

Money coming for O"Hair ... I backed at 74/1 when I posted ... now best priced 59/1 ...

I cannot decide if he will ever do it ... or just perpetually choke.

I like Casey ... in the form of his life ...

But GOLF = LOTTERY ... with one miss-priced golden ticket = TIGER WOODS.

With this in mind had a small bet on Charlie Wi at 259/1 ...

Good luck all.

This monster course from a Pro"s perspective ...

I think it"ll be damage limitation again (typical US Open). I think it"s gonna be about who"s best at hitting 5 woods / rescue clubs / long irons into par4s.

O"Hair ... good start ... he is a notorious choker so keep that one monitored!

O"Hair now 18/1 on Betfair which is pretty short ... so  I have closed my position down to a freeroll on O"Hair.

Not as short as Tiger ... 6.6/1 Favourite ... ten off the lead ... with funds in the bank I would lay that all day ... mmm

closed Scott and O"hair for a decent profit. match bets doing ok after the curtis/campbell fiasco.

Good work ... what happened between Curtis/Campbell? ... last I recall Campbell was +15 ...

Should be an amazing day today if the weather let"s the play 36 holes ...

Getting a little tempted by Steve Stricker at 24/1 ...

what happened between Curtis/Campbell?

I sold curtis v campbell @ 4  (3 points a hole +10 for the win). campbell shot a 80, curtis a 72. Thats 30 points down, which was the maximum I thought I could lose on this bet. I just thought that, given his good showing in augusta, it was amazing that Curtis was favourite for the match

Getting a little tempted by Steve Stricker at 24/1 ...

good shout. I"m having a little punt on him (not sure which market yet). He"s been playing well all week after getting the worst of the conditions earlier on.
