It's mathmatically impossible to get back less than a quid..

[Megaman]

id a fiver each way and got £4.38 back

It's mathmatically impossible to get back less than a quid..

No its not...

£1 win part is gone
£1 e/w part is divided by 4 (4 players finished T5) = £0.25 stake
Place odds probably 1/5 of pre-tournament  odd = evens
winnings £0.50

You're 100% right, that'll teach me to mental arithmetic on the move  . I would do the calculation slightly different with the reduction on the winnings not the stake but the result is the same

Well that's shite. Does all bookies use the same rules?

Whats peoples thoughts on this week? Spieth, McIlroy, Matsuyama all likely to have an influence. Any good outsiders?

It's fair enough really you can't expect bookies to pay out fully on say 9 guys when they're only advertising 5/6 places.. it only looks that bad when you see the prohibitive odds McIlroy was.. incidentally the OPs bet must of been placed in running as McIlroy was freely available at 10/1 pre tournament. He's 13/2 favourite for this weekend..

Yes the initial problem is going small bet e/w on small odds.

Changes to the PGA Tour schedule upcoming

The PGA of America will announce this week that its flagship event, the PGA Championship, will move to May starting in 2019, according to a Monday report from the Associated Press.

This move was expected and allows the majors to stretch their legs a bit with the PGA Championship as the second major each season instead of the fourth. Rather than the last three majors be bunched up in a seven-week span, they will be spaced out more with the Masters in April, PGA Championship in May, U.S. Open in June and Open Championship in July.

It will also allow The Players Championship, which is currently held in May, to move back to March, giving the PGA Tour five straight months of huge tournaments preceding the FedEx Cup Playoffs. It also gives the PGA Tour a little bit of flexibility to shorten the season and have everything end before football stars around Labor Day.

A son's a win but a man needs his stake back

After swiping the rights from under Sky's nose the Beeb have decided not to show feck all of the USPGA on TV.. 70 mins live a night building up to 2 whole hours on Sunday night! It is under the Red Button though. Looks like I'll be watching it on US tv I can't be doing with Peter Alliss anymore, a shadow of the once great broadcaster he was.

[An Watcher]

Is it not 6 hours per night on the red button and then an hour on BBC2?

[offtheground]

Driving range not long enough for McIlroy - just hitting >300yrds with his 3 wood and 365 with the driver.
