No. Not playing with volvic golf balls. They are a novelty item, and if he can win the masters playing with them, the rest should just give up.

I look forward to proving you all wrong, £1 e/w on the big man.;)
Gone for 5 players £1 e/w as they're paying out on top 8 finish.
As well as Bubba at 40/1 I had to take Russell Knox at 200/1. Gone for big Phil, Speith and Pieters on more moderate odds. £10 well spent?:clap:

Is anyone else suspicious of the 'I fell down the stairs' story the night before the Masters? Doesn't sit right with me, especially as it is DJ where the truth is rarely near the surface.

Only that he is in the very last group so i was suspicious they rejigged the tee sheet after the news until i checked for the original one on an external site

not that id have a problem with it but you know some would

Am I right in thinking they limit TV coverage to preserve the mystery of the masters? Also, are there some holes that are never on TV due to space restrictions?

Or have I imagined that?

They do regulate tv more, one of the rules stops telly putting on nearly as many ads as they want but im not certain of all the details

The last i saw of speith was he was 8 to 1. So if he does not win, you have 1 pound at 1/4 odds, so you would win 2 pounds for a top 8.

Well spent? I am not seeing it!

Party pooper! - there are others in there apart from Speith! If he does place it'll be like a par after you've driven it in the trees, yes only a par but it feels like a birdie.

When Knox comes roaring in you wont be laughing then!

If it was 8/1 (cant remember now) and he places what's even worse is they're only paying 1/5 each way on WHill.:o so my £2 stake will return £1.60. Thank you for pointing out a serious flaw in my method.;)

Haha. The each way bets are completely worthless on Johnson, Spieth and McIlroy, yeah. I went for 90-100/1 shots on my each ways.

If only I had a £1 for each time I embarrass myself on this forum! :o Be a rich man! Anonymity my old friend, although I have played golf with a few on here years ago.

£9 well spent then?;)

It would be a £2.60 return, so 60p profit from your £2 stake :thup:

It's mid afternoon and I haven't had a coffee for at least an hour so stick with me -

So if Speith wins I get £9 and £1.60, total £10.60 back from my £2 bet, £8.60 profit.
If Speith places I lose the £1 on the nose bet, for the e/w bet I get £1.60 win (1/5 of £1 x 8) and £1 stake back so £2.60 from my £2 bet, £0.60 profit.

Both ways I'm ahead right?

Shouldn't have doubted myself, what's Murphthemog talking about or have I got above wrong ....again?:ooo:

Winning 60p from £2 is hardly a value bet... but it's better than making an actual loss, lol.

Nearly right. If Spieth wins at 8/1 you will get £9 from the win and £2.60 for the place so £11.60.
