Masters Betting

Backed Willet and Shane Lowry at 50's after 2 rounds - sadly on £2.50 e/w, but I get back £160 odd if danny wins.

Havent read the full thread - anyone else on him?

Yes Adam, great advice about not backing Willett there........ flaming nora!!

Oh man, this hurts more cos I actually know you, but when I heard on March 7th that his wife was expecting for about now that was my trigger to back him. I'll try to post my betting slip but I put £2 on him at 66/1 that day. The "nappy factor" is not to me underestimated.

I like him. He plays the type of balance of long game aggression and short calm I like round Augusta.
 
Stuck a fiver on Willet e/w @ 20/1 after 2 holes tonight :-).

Had Casey @ 66/1 e/w @ £4.00

Had Kjeldsen @ 400/1 @ £1.00

Do for me.

Me and the Mrs had been talking about backing him since about Jan / Feb. Talked ourselves out of it after hearing about when his Mrs was due. Hey ho, I can kind of forgive myself for that. Harder to forgive myself about not putting anything on Westwood for the 1st time in as long as I can remember!

It's like a double whammy of idiocy.

Still, had £5 e/w on Casey so that covered all my Masters and National bets over the weekend and walked away very (and it's a small "very") slightly up.
 
Not to worry, you broke even and we had some great drama, I really thought when Jordan made 3 birdies in a row that it was going to be a snooze fest :)
 
This weekend has confirmed why I should not bet. My two remaining possibles were Matsuyama to win, that went in the first 3 holes, and Rose e/w. Both ended up with a tidy take home cheque but did nothing for me. My son half mentioned Willett but then he mentioned half the field and you have to draw a line somewhere. Well done to those who backed him.
