Masters Betting

[medwayjon]

I have £5 each way on Jeev Milkha Singh with corals for the masters. the odds are 200/1 so for a win I win £1000 and for a place £250.

Well worth a bet in my eyes as his game has looked good of late.

There are some very generous odds to be had if you bet early.

Never betted on golf (truth is rarely betted on anything) but how does an each-way bet pay in golf? is it first three as in racing?

 

[medwayjon]

Corals are paying 1/4 the odds on a place 2nd-4th.

Got a bet on the run that BMW will get their first GP win this season and after kubica's pole today you never know.

I dont normaly bet on anything but I have went and had a flutter on this years Master's, just for interest sake.
I have picked 4 players, would be nice if any of them won it.
JV Singh
A Scott
L Donald
P Casey
Now that would be something if any of these guys won it.

Worth having a bet on Tiger after all!

Yes, I know the odds on him to win aren't worth looking at unless you've a spare couple of grand to bet...but if you can predict how much he'll win by then it's a good bet.

Just hope he doesn't win by 5 or more (9/2). Think I'll have £20 each on him to win by 1,2,3 or 4. Between 11 and 18 to 1.

Go on guys. It's worth a flutter.

Mikha Singh!

Just give me your money instead.

Cant see past Tiger in all honesty but e/w bets Furyk, Sabattini, and even Olazabel.

 

[John_Findlay]

Changed my mind.

Have £25 on JB Holmes at 10/1 and £12.50 each on Daniel Chopra and Robert Karlsson at 14/1

....to finish in the top ten.

Also, for a laugh, £20 on Tiger to have 11 shots in total at the par 3 12th. So I'm looking for 3 pars and a birdie over the four days. Not bad odds at 6/1, I thought.

Nice thing is..... they could all come in!!

 

[backwoodsman]

For JB Holmes to come in the top 10, it pre-supposes he gets round the course four times. And the Masters only lasts four days.....

 

[shanker]

I've got £5 on Adam Scott to win at 28/1. Was going to put my fiver on Rose but the odds were the same and I fancy Scott more (to win, that is). Sky are offering Woods at 6/5. Very generous! BTW if you put a fiver on Gary Player and he actually won, you could retire. Couldn't count the zeros.

 

[John_Findlay]

Backwoodsman,

I'm working on the theory that anyone he plays with will be disqualified for thumping the eejit. Narrows the odds!

 

[theeaglehunter]

I wonder If they'll take bets on him getting thumped...could be onto a winner John.

 

[clubchamp07]

3 out of my 4 picks are all under par, only Adam Scott is letting me down but I rekon he will come back hopefully.
Great to see some fantastic golf from all the players and not just the top 10 - 15.

 

[thecraw]

Went with

£5 Sabbitini
£5 Immleman
£5 e/w Furyk
£5 e/w Choi

£30 all in, only Rory the lion is goosed already!

Looking good for the Craw, then, now that the cut's been made

So there are two rounds gone, only 45 players left, and 3 out of my four bets are still running. Chopra had a mare on Friday so misses the cut but Karlsson and Holmes are just poised to strike for that top ten place (both tied for 13th with a certain Mr Woods)

Also need Tiger to have 5 more shots at the par 3 12th for that bet to come up. It's gonna be an interesting Sunday!

Who's getting nervous with their mortgage money, then?

Rose has just blown mine.

bunkersaves could still be on with his choice of Casey

 

[John_Findlay]

Woohoo.

4 bets. One came in. Thanks, Mr Karlsson, for the top ten (although Casey made me sweat that it would be diluted)

£187.50 return from £12.50. Think I'll spend it on that round at the Old Course

Looking good, Craw. What odds did you get on Trevor?

 

[Parmo]

I had Rose & Scott 20-1 ew without Tiger, what a farce.

Did anyone else notice that Scott did not once appear on the coverage? also anyone outside the top 10 except Zack Johnson & Tiger and the rest of the Yank players?

 

[madandra]

Parmo, anytime a player fron down the field came on HID woi=uld rightly predict an amazing shot. A guy on +2 appeared on screen and sunk a 7 iron. It is The Masters for setting but The Amateurs for coverage.

 

[thecraw]

£405 back from a deep see diver thank you very much.


£5 @80/1

Sabbatini, Furyk and Choi I forgive you. Trevor I love you very much indeed! ( and your wife looked hot hot hot!!!!!!!)

 

[John_Findlay]

Spot on, Andy.

I was keeping a track of the scores live online at "masters.org" and the hole by hole results were posted a good 5 minutes before the footage appeared on the telly.

Confused my pals a bit when I texted them saying "Come On Karlsson" after I spotted his eagle online. It appeared on telly 10 minutes later! Crappy American coverage.

Did only 2 of us win anything? Surely not.
