I fancy an upset and someone outside of the main head-liners to plot their way around who has been having a decent year to date, someone like Danny Willett, you heard it here first :smirk:

Love hearing that, much better than some of the bland rubbish you get at some press conferences

I'd love to see Tiger win this week. It would be the biggest comeback of all time!
Not going to happen imo. I fancy a European and would love to see someone like Donald do it. I have a gut feeling Jimenez might have a decent week

no chance for either of them
Better chance than your big prediction Mr WUM
Guy who has won 14 majors against two guys with none, not even within sniffing distance- Nae chance!

I've backed Tiger on the 'Fair. Not because I think he will win, however, but because I am hopeful that he will have a decent first round causing the odds to lower so I can trade off and win either way.
I wouldn't go out there and say there's no chance of him winning, but I don't think an outright bet without an exit strategy is the right call.

Wind up merchant.
Tiger hasn't hit a ball in earnest in months and missed the cut in his last event by miles and you now reckon he'll win the biggest event of the golfing calendar. I reckon Donald and Jiminez will finish higher on the leaderboard

Let me ask you tiger backers this, who is more likely to win, tiger or rose?

I think this is clever but I don't understand it (or betting) can you elaborate for us weekend gamblers?

On Betfair you can back and lay bets. He has backed Tiger Woods at say 26 or 27 to 1 whatever he is on there at the moment.
If Tiger has a good first round his odds will be less and then he can lay a bet on him at lower odds.
The only downside is if Tiger doesn't do that well or starts limping in the first round his odds will go up and therefore you would probably have to let it ride or trade out for a loss.
nope not getting it- that means betting more money on him at lower odds doesn't it? I must be missing something (apart from a screw)

I'll still pick Tiger. Rose's record at The Open has not been so stellar. He won the US last year yet missed the cut at the following Open. Apart from his US Open win, his stats in the Majors is quite abysmal for a player of his talent.
Its been proven that Tiger can still produce the goods when overcoming adversity. Death of his father, ACL, swing changes etc........

No it means laying Tiger at lower odds. A bit like buying something and selling it on for a profit.
