Masters betting thread: who are you on?

i'm gonna do bradely e/w and also jason day to win. nothing serious maybe a 5er each. i think woods is a penalty kick tho given his form but 9-2 odds only suit the heavy gamblers
 
Going to back Donald for a win and Bjorn and KJ choi for a place.The obvious threats of Woods and Mcilroy surely are going to show heavily this week :cheers: .
 
I think it's hard to look past Rory and now Mahan. Although I'd say that it would have USPGA player the conditions just suit them better. I wouldn't mind seeing Kaymer coming out and doing well although I think Steve Stricker is also an option
 
Kaymer has never made the cut. Will he buck the trend this year?

I've gone e/w on Mahan, Poulter, Bae, Woodland, Laird, and Day. That's them missing the cut then.

I'm hoping the golf will be interest enough.

Can't bring myself to bet on Woods, Donald, McIlroy, Westwood (esp as he has no short game, and he will need it), etc as the odds are way too short. Mahan and Day were short enough.

Any one betting on Garcia, on the hardest putting course on tour?
 
80/1 Bill Haas, 33/1 Justin Rose both £10 e/w will have a punt after 36 holes.

Will see what my mate Pablo has on as he is the Major tipster in our squad after winning £950 on Schwartzel last year and £1600 on Darren Clarke in the Open as the boys who went to Millport know all about that.
 
I lumped on Rory to Win - got a feeling he'll do it this year. Might have a little look for a cheeky £5 on an outsider later this evening.

Whilst in Ladbrooks putting my bets on I spotted Olly at 500-1 :eek: ,ok so he`s only claims are winner in 94 but he has showed some form of late especially with the putter.£1 E/W for me.
 
He are my Tips/Views

Outright win ::
Tiger Woods @ 5/1 (sorry, but i backed him in Jan @ 16/1, when ppl thought i was nuts!)

Decent Each Way ::
Sergio Garcia @ 55/1 -- Been Far more consistant with the putter recently, and if he can get it going, i don't think he will be a million miles away
Brant Snedaker @ 80/1 -- Has a solid Masters record (including the choke!) and this looks great value!

The Outsiders
Ben Crane @ 250/1 -- Scraped in by the Skin of his teeth, can Helmet man from the GolfBoys do it?? not bad odds if you ask me.
Simon Dyson @ 300/1 -- Crazy Odds for a guy who had a pretty good 2011.
 
Got KJ for a top 10 finish at 9/2

Donald to win at 14/1

Might have a few more bets depending on how well my footy ones do tonight.
 
Finally placed my bets this morning, I had been putting it off and changing picks since the start of the week. I've narrowed it down to 6 EW Bets:

Luke Donald 14/1 £10 EW
Adam Scott 33/1 £5 EW
Steve Stricker 50/1 £5 EW
KJ Choi 60/1 £5 EW
Sang-Moon Bae 175/1 £5 EW
Mark Wilson 250/ £5 EW

Like others have said form coming in to The Masters means nothing!

Interesting thing I read was since 2006, only once has a Top 5 Fav won the US Masters, every other year it's been won by a real outsider. Schwartzel was 150/1 at the start last year.
