Villegas -5 and Allenby -3 - I"m happy with that so far.


Is that good ?

My golf knowledge is up there with my horse racing tips.   ;D

With the Over Night leader at -7 there putting themselves in the Mix,

I see that Phil Micklson is @ -10 through the front 9 of the 2nd round - if he has a decent back 9 he could kibosh the lot!!!

I"d Always Back a non - American though - better prices generally - and other than an Injured woods - the ROTW world would spank the USofA!

E/W golf bets FTW!!!!

Mickelson and Watney on -16 , four shots ahead of J M Singh and Villegas. Here"s hoping big Phil does a Goosen ;)

... reading the Racing Post today ... they make the case for e/w bets on

DJ Trahan - 66/1
Mathew Goggin - 80/1

Looking through the leaderboards for the last 4 years ... 23/26 of the top finishers were 66/1 or more ... is this the GRAND NATIONAL of golf??

In 2004 - V Singh won at 9/2 ... but the 4 behind him were all long shots too ...

Worth a few pounds I would guess ...

Any thoughts?

just remember that most winners of the GN are in the top 6 of the betting despite its false reputation of being a lottery

... I agree on Grand National at the off ... but some notable gambles ... Papillion was 33/1 at 9am and 10/1 at the off ... a glorious run!

So Lottery Ante Post ... skill based lottery nearer the off ... and the weather certainly adds to it ... in Papillion"s run the year after it won, it fell was re-mounted and came 4th of 4 finishers ...

Looking forward to it.

M Goggin -4
DJ Trahan -3

I may trade my position and take a free roll on these ... need betfair market to settle down ... very thin at times on these events.

Aside and for no apparent reason I took an interest in Paul Goydos at 309/1 ... yet to tee off ... NO FORM .. LOL ...

Where are We playing Louis -

PGA or European?

I like the Look of Paul Goydos at 309/1 as well!! you never know with golf - it is a fickle game!!

I"d Say Back Tiger to win soon rather than later - Probably the Masters!!! Any idea n the best Ante Post price - i cant be bothered to investigate~!

There"s a name for folk like you two ;)

Odds for Masters can be found here

I"m considering Paul Casey and Anthony Kim for this but will prob have a few bets on them in their Day 1 and Day 2 groups then and wait "til Saturday miorning - when I see how Mickelson and Woods are fairing - then pick a solid 10/1 or 14/1 shot.

I am punting on the US tour at the moment ... Transitions Championship.

Masters ... dangerous but I would oppose Tiger for the moment.

Mickelson 8.2/1 on Betfair is good enough.

But I would side with Furyk 41/1 ... or should I say I have sided with him!

Rory McIlroy is very interesting (too early?) - it wont be longer before he is winning things.

Your not wrong - i think he will be huge for golf - as for to early you can get a decent price on and who knows this might be the longest price he ever is!!

J.M Singh at 100/1 is a fair each way bet - coming off a good place last weekend!

We shall wait and see what unfolds!

... Kenny Perry going great ...

I had traded my position as follows:

Googin win +£605
DJ Trahan win +£905
Goydos win (not going to happen - donkey bet) +£1545

The Field - £5

I am liking the look of that!!!
