Golf Betting

I got Paddy Power to cancel one two nights ago, as my phone went a bit weird when trying to change a bet, and put £5 win on Poulter for the Masters.
That shouldn't come back to haunt me, but get ready for a thread next Sunday if he's there or there about! :D
 
Finally I end a week in profit with a nice top 20 finish from Reifers. Could have been better if Stefani didn't fall apart!!!
 
I put a cheeky bet on Andrew Putnam at 500/1 and was very excited on Friday evening, not so on Saturday! looking at the ones that got away last night, 16/1 Chad Collins to finish in the top 20, Charles Howell 100/1 e/w, Brendon De Jonge 150/1 e/w and the real BIG miss of the weekend, Johnson 'I've done nothing for over a year' Wagner 300/1 e/w.

Good luck for the Masters, I will be looking for top ten finishes for the likes of Rose, Dustbin Johnson and Kooch. Rory, Spieth and Day each way bets.
 
My betting habits are pretty limited but what I tend to do is keep my winnings reserved so that I can splash out a little on the Masters and The Open.

So far I've got a bunch of e/w bets on:

Jimmy Walker
Jordan Spieth,
Dustin Johnson
Henrik Stenson
Bubba Watson
Patrick Reed
Justin Rose
Tiger Woods
JB Holmes
Ricky Fowler
Martin Kaymer
Brandt Snedeker
Rory Mcilroy (no point given his odds right now but I placed this bet last year with decent odds on him completing the career major slam)

With a spread like that I then wait until the Saturday to pick an outright winner that's got decent odds and is looking likely to pull in front from a few shots behind. Don't get the best odds placing a winner like this but in the last 4 years I've been able to turn a profit with this strategy.

Thats quite a lot of golfers, and not a lot at big prices regardless of the time u backed them (apart fromn holmes maybe?) ...whats your intended profit margin now? I'd imagine your looking about 50% (evens shot?)
 
Not sure about all the odds, but Fowler is out from 22/1 to 30/1 and Snedeker from 33/1 to 40/1. I of course had them at the earlier prices:(
Walker is in from 25/1 to 22/1, so not all bad for my bets!
 
Im putting £1 each way :D on

Rory
Day
Schwartzel
Stenson
Rose

I placed on Holmes last week at 66/1. He's gone down to about 40/1 now?

Profit margins? Don't know exactly! With the outlay I've got here I'm happy to end up evens. To put it in perspective, I've turned the first £30 I put into my account into £165 in 4 years doing this for the Masters and The Open. It just makes watching more exciting for me, I'm not looking for big returns. It's just fun to pick who might be in contention on the final day. If McIlroy wins I'll need a couple of good top 5 placings to turn a profit but what the heck. It's fun. :)
