long shot bet for the Open

[MikeH]

Afternoon all from Turnberry, hope you're all well and looking forward to the Open getting underway

For anyone looking for a bit of an outsiders bet I had a chat some of the TaylorMade tour staff and they were saying Dustin Johnston has been striking it superbly in practice.

I have staked a modest couple of quid each way at 200 to 1

Maybe worth investigating?

Oh I dunno mike, with the weight of your bet on his shoulders, I reckon he will crack!
I mentioned in the whos betting on who thread, Ive put a few sheckles each way on JD and Ogilvy, either or and ill get more than my stakes back for the entire competition
Dont forget, plenty of souvineers!

There's long shots and there's complete long shots. This is a complete long shot. Can't see a top-10 here. Bet placed.

Nick watney e/w maybe worth a punt............

 

[krokodil]

I still have a hunch on Justin Leonard, not sure what you'd get on him though.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

My money is on Mono - 2010

 

[CrapHacker]

Kenny Perry
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano

I have never yet bet on golf (and tbh, if it goes the way of betting horses they're dead in the water now) but fancy a go.

so for a total novice, what are the better bets to go for (not who).

Win, I think too risky
do they do Place, and what is it

 

[minty18]

Viscount, with paddy power if you back each way you will get top 7 places.


Get on Ogilvy, i've got a real good feeling about him this weekend and i've got 40-1.

 

[Faldo_Fan]

Retief Goosen for me, he's striking it beautifully and getting somewhere back to his best, just needs 4 hot days with the flat stick!

 

[USER1999]

Didn't he just 4 putt recently? That'll boost his confidence.

GMac anyone?

 

[freddielong]

How about Seve how long are we looking



Paddy has to be a long shot on current form

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Gmac seems a good shout to me too

 

[Smiffy]

Didn't he just 4 putt recently?

Nothing wrong with the odd 4 putt

 

[thecraw]

Long shot(s), John Daly and Tim Clark.

 

[hackamore]

Boyle sports offering 8 places 1/4 odds, no brainer.

 

[fat_crocodile]

have a few small bets on westwood, furyk and harrington at 28's, but my outside bet is zach johnson at 80/1. he's had a solid enough year so far. all each way of course

 

[sasquatch]

Just backed mcilroy,stenson,westwood and mcdowell all each way-got an account with betfred pay upto 6th place.

 

[HarryMonk]

I have just had a few pounds on Ian Poulter, Ross Fisher, and Hunter Mahan. Also my long shot is Oliver Wilson at 125/1. All e/w with Paddy Power paying out to seventh spot so there s a chance.
