The Open 2012 Betting Thread

[shivas irons]

For me:

Mahan 50-1 steady, plays tough courses well.
Stricker 66-1 playing well and has shown great form at our Open,very good course management player,needs to get the putter going though.
Curtis 100-1 ok bit of a long shot but previous winner,rates 3rd for driving accuracy,3rd in putting on the PGA tour,key stats for Royal Lytham this week.

 

[Piece]

Rickie Fowler @ 50-1

 

[Junior]

Rickie Fowler @ 50-1

Where did you see Fowler at 50/1 ? i got him at 33/1.

Also gone for Oosterhuizen , Grace and Dyson. Also got £2 on Saltman e/w at 1000/1 .......its the open and there is always a fairytale !!

 

[Mary]

I'm hoping that Ian Keenan will be the fairytale this year!

He's 1500/1 and Sky Bet have also got some "specials" for him. http://www.skybet.com/golf/open-2012/event/14167601

Rickie Fowler @ 50-1

Good choice Fowler plotted he's way round Sandwich very well last year and seems to love the links test.

I'm thinking of going with Justin rose for this week

 

[Mary]

I've bet on Ian Keenan to make the cut and had a little flutter E/W on Tiger, Molinari and Anders Hansen.

 

[Stub]

Got Westy at 14/1 and Justin at 33/1.

Westwood at 16-1 with Paddy Power who are paying out down to 7th place is v.good value imo, when you consider his record in finishing close in the majors.

Some massive prices around. Tom Watson @ 400-1 is not to be sniffed at. Darren Clarke at 150-1.

You can almost forget form, this is all about people who can play links courses. Mind you, Singh has just proved he can do both and you can get 150-1 on him.

Tiger at 8-1..........not for me. And how do they make Rory 2nd fav?!

After watching the practice day today I can say Justin rose/dustin Johnson struck it well, rickie fowler couldn't find a fairway with is first tee shoot, bubba was awesome! Justin rose for me to win!

 

[Mary]

Realised that I mistakenly managed to bet £2 E/W on Raphael Jacquelin @ 125/1

 

[Scazza]

Had a friend of mine tweet at me asking for my opinions/tips for the Open Championship so I'll share my 5 picks here.

Martin Laird, Rickie Fowler, Paul Lawrie, Phil Mickelson & Luke Donald.

 

[Wafty]

Taken Westwood, Bubba and Dustin for this week :lol: Couple quid E/W on each of them through Paddy Power (paying top 7 places on E/W)

Just added PaulCasey@500/1 E/W

Taken into account driving accuracy/greens in reg/putts per round, and came up with these three. So if my betting form sticks around iv just taken three out of the field for the rest of you lol cos i cant pick my nose these days

 

[DavePhoenix]

just put on - Rickie Fowler, Mahan, Donald, Bubba and Jeev Singh....

Lets be honest anybody could win this and form goes right out the window.
Am just hoping I don't get too soaked when I go!!

[fundy]

Not done much on the winner market yet, will add some more after 1 or 2 rounds, so far just some small bets on Michael Hoey at 240s and Branden Grace at 170s.

Have also backed Marcel Siem at 3/1 to be top German, in effect a match bet vs Kaymer and price was just far too big imo

 

[Naybrains]

Here goes.....
JM Singh
A Noren
T Aiken
C Schwartzel
P larrazabal

F Molinari & L Ooustizen (halfers with a mate)
Padraig Power all E/w bets (7places)
Been a good season so far approx £400 up !

 

[HughJars]

Westwood, Rose, Oosthuizen and Colsaerts for me.

Hills have Westy @11/10 in a match bet with Tiger (8/11), easy money backing the guff imo.

 

[Captainron]

I have gone with GMac each way at 33/1. His kind of challenge methinks.


My complete outsider is Chad Campbell at 150/1.

We'll see come Sunday
