Got an inkling for Rose to play well so might see the best price tomorrow. Not sure who else I fancy. If leftie can get the driver somewhere near the fairway I think he might surprise a few and be up there on Sunday

Agree about Mickleson
Think he's going to get real close this year.

Got Angel Cabrera to be first round leader and to get top 20
He's always worth a bet round Augusta.

Rickie to get pipped by DJ I think.
 
Looking through the stats you have to go back to 2010 for an oldie first round leader with Fred Couples,him Langer and Cabrera might be worth a light punt just because their respective prices are so high.Westwood always seems prominent in the Masters first round and looks decent value at 80/1.
 
Have you seen the weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon at Augusta ? 40mph+ winds between 2pm and 5pm. The rest of the weekend looks decent but maybe someone will jump out of the traps quickly. I'm hoping it's Kjeldsen, finished in the e/w places last year, good form at the matchplay and 150/1 at sky bet who are paying 1/4 odds top 8 for each way bets.
 
I never normally watch golf on TV as I've found it a bit boring in the past, but since I'm way more into golf these days (playing it at least), I plan to give it more of a look this time. I had a spare quid in my betting account too, so I've chucked it on Fowler at 22/1 to keep it interesting, would be a nice little bonus if that comes in. :)

The Stats Zone are backing Rickie Fowler this year, based on their analysis - http://www.thestatszone.com/articles/the-masters-2017-preview

They correctly tipped Willett last year, so will be interesting to see how they do this time around.

Interesting that Matsuyama doesn’t feature here after a decent start to the season. I’ve a sneaky feeling for Stenson and Fowler and I will have a cheeky long shot on Oosthuizen who plays quite well on this course. The forecast wind on the opening two days will surely have an impact though.

P.S. I've just put a couple of little 50p each ways on Lowry at 100/1 and Noren at 90/1. I never bet big anyway, so just something to keep my interest up really.
 
I just threw a few quid on Westwood EW, again, won a couple quid off him last year, so why not! Paddy power paying 8 places, also stuck a few on Z Johnson and Furyk to be leading after R1, hopefully one of them will show up haha!
usually have another bet after the cut, so will see who is still in it come Saturday., backing Fowler at 22's etc on a Weds, is a bit short for my tastes, plus better over the weekend makes it a bit more interesting for me!
 
I've not had any traditional bets, but entered a few fantasy teams for a couple of $.

Teams of 6, built from:

McIlroy
DJ
Spieth

Rose
Fowler
Thomas

Hadwin
Haas
Fitzpatrick
Leishman
Kisner

Knowing my luck that a combination of those will do well that I haven't picked.
 
Tuning in at 8pm tomorrow night hopefully missing the first hour of Sky's coverage which:

1) Contains no golf
2) is a repeat of last years first hour (Jack Nicklaus and the boring pundits last years script about how amazing Augusta is, Magnolia Lane etc)
3) adds nothing in terms of excitement

Small stuff, negative post and I'm aware of broadcasting restrictions, but the worst hour of the coverage is the first.

Get Jamie Donaldson and Simon Holmes in the Shot Centre and give us some entertainment!!
 
Put my first of many bets on

Mickleson 33/1
Jason Day 20/1

Think I'm going to put a decent amount on Fowler. Then go for some long shots.

Willet has drifted out to 120/1...I know he's out of form but that's great odds.

You can watch live golf on the red button before that.
 
Wish a bookie would give odds on Spieth putting the ball in the water, green or sand on the 12th... I think he'll put it in the sand
