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?oo:

You are right!

As long as he finishes 5th by himself, if he is tied 5th you get less

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

They're paying on top 8 places at 1/5 price, same odds for each place but shares only matter if those shares take the worst of the top 8 positions past 8 players i.e 5 players on 6th= would reduce any e/w winnings if Speith was one of those on 6th= with those other players for example.

principle is sound though, say that was £60 profit from £200 bet.
Slow and steady wins the race, tortoise and the hare, from tiny acorns great oaks grow.....etc etc

Haha yeah. I never bet more than like £2 on anything anyone. It's not really a money making exercise, it's just to keep things more interesting. Any winnings are a bonus that can go on the next few bets.

Yep, I do the same, small amount doubles or trebles on EPL/SPL 'safe bets' with short odds is my usual. Often creeps up, keeps the 'game' going as you say.

I'm only following the live update leaderboard on masters.com, but it appears Mickelson has made an eagle at the 2nd.

I'm probably alone in this but I struggle to get excited by Majors until about a day and a half in...
Got the TV booked for the weekend but will probably only see what's on the news before then.....

Anyone put money on Z Johnson? Not looking good ATM. 2 over and just stuck it in the water on 11.

 

[Dan2501]

Looking like DJ is fit to play.

Seems like a bit of a struggle for the players due to the wind.

Seems to be some doubt about DJ now according to SSNHQ.

I saw that,looks like he might start but for how many holes??.

 

[Dan2501]

DJ apparently walking off the first tee back to the clubhouse. Looks as though he has WD.

Such a shame - in the form of his life too.
