I don't use Paddy Power to bet but I check them for odds from time to time.

I went there today to check out the Masters odds and got this message

"Restricted Territory Message

I am in the US, does anyone know if this is a recent thing?

Been that way in Spain for a good while.

Access it through a VPN and it'll be fine.

I tried using a VPN when I was on holidays recently and I still got closed out of the account.

Looking at the Masters I think it's shaping up to be a classic. I can't remember as many of the world's best golfers being in this good of form coming into it. The Hollywood p***k is playing well, Spieth played well alst week, JT going good, DJ not at his best but not far off and then add in the course specialists Bubba, Tiger and Big Phil. Easily the best week of the year Sporting wise.

I remember a few years ago Easter Sunday was the final of the Masters (think it was 2012), in no particular order:
Jesus rose from the Tomb
Got the spuds
Got the pints
McCoy got a double and Flemenstar won at Fairyhouse
Had a nice ew bet on Bubba (remember his rescue shot from the trees)

Hard to beat a great day like that

VPN will work when you go through the website but not the app.  Been like that for years now.

Crazy stuff from Tony Finau. Hole in one, apparently dislocates ankle celebrating, pops it back into place there and then and is now a doubt for the tournament.

Seen that - looked awful happening live.  Some achievement for Tom Watson to win the Par 3 at 68.

Sergio meltdown on 15th - has put 4 in the water in front of the green

[DrinkingHarp]

Sergio Done!!!

He has put at least 5 in the water on 15 after hitting the green each time.  12 shots sitting on the green of the par5.

Finau in 2nd at -3 on 9 after the ankle.
