The Masters

[Pubey]

Ah, meant post and in what he scored. Shot a 77 which puts him out of it.

Ahh gotcha.

Monty always has been a self-serving rent-a-gob, but he's ratcheted it up since becoming Sky's defacto former pro correspondent for the major golfing events. Butch Harmon is just as knowledgeable, if not more so, but infinitely more likeable. Supposed to be a great guy as well.

I'm a firm believer of some sporting events belonging on terrestrial television, The Open being one of them, but Sky's golf coverage really is second to none. Given what BT Sport has done with the Premier League so far, I dread to think what they'd do the golf.

The only thing Sky lack is Peter Allis. I think he is brilliant.

That's a bold tip :smile:

True, but no-one had mentioned him!

 

[londonblue]

Not a bad start, but Scott's looking ominous...

EDIT: Just seen what DJ posted yesterday. He's a liability at the moment, if it wasn't the Masters he either wouldn't have played or he would've withdrawn.

Adam Scott needs to make as many wins as he can before those long putters are banned.

Course is said to be sodden after torrential rain in Georgia the last few days, which definitely brings a few more into play. You can get 32s on Bubba Watson now, which is great value. Ricky Fowler's also tracking in.

Should've practiced what I preached :duh:

If its any consolation I only went for him after I saw your tip...

 

[Napster]

Good to see my two original tips missed the cut though. Mcllroy only just sneaked in.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Woodland on the charge!

 

[Pubey]

Sadly it fizzled out for Woodland after a crazy front 9.

 

[CyrilSneer]

I had Jamie Donaldson ew at 120s. Was feeling quite confident before the opening 7 holes today

Aye. Still in with a reasonable shout tomorrow to place mind. Ricky Fowler looking good too.

What places do bookies pay out on E/W bets in the Masters?

Laddies is top 5 but I think most other bookies will be top 3 (1/4 odds).

Top five is pretty standard across the board now.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Just checked Betway and they offer top 4 each way. Got Fowler and Woodland E/W so fingers crossed

Correct. Beware when placing e/w bets in play though as the e/w terms will be different, especially if there is someone well clear at the top of the market.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Wouldn't begrudge either Watson (even though I haven't backed him, he's a great guy) or Spieth winning from here. Spieth is some player for 20 years old. Fearless.

Paid out E/W for 5th on Fowler. No idea why

I'd be enormously hacked off if a bookie didn't pay out for 5th place nowadays, particularly at a Major.

Made my money back from Fowler finishing in fifth which I'm happy enough with, in any major it's just a bonus having someone specific to follow going into moving day! Would've been substantially more profitable if I'd followed my own advice on Watson mind.

 

[The General]

Thank god moonhead bogied the last as also made my money back on Fowler. MrB had Fowler and Blixt so he did well! Pity Bubba won it; he's a grade A ****!
