Open Championship

Re-read the 1st 3 pages of this thread and you'll understand why betting on golf is pointless. Nobody even got a top 6 player if I'm remembering right, even though half the field was named.

Amazing stat. Not one person got anyone in the top 7.

i never thought a major could be boring but this certainly has

Yeah it was poor enough but there wasn't anything else on worth watching today.

Ah come on there must be some lying **** that had £50 ew on him ?

Laoislad, you mentioned you'd a soft spot for both of them rather than a wager. I don't think the bookies would pay out without the slip ;-)

I also backed them as I do in every Major!

i've always liked the look of alvaro quiros for this tournament, he didn't go well last year, but was a debutant. 
McIlroy could give this a go and his price is starting to get tempting.  O'Hair is another excellent player and is available at 66/1 and another good longshot is Louis Oosthuizen, he has just recorded the elusive first win and he really could train on well, he's probably about 200/1 too.  As you never know what tiger will do, i prefer betting without him and the betfair prices are much the same without him.  Another I might back is Garcia, I don't really think it's his type of course (but he was third here a few years ago), but 75/1 is worth taking on somebody who might someday win a major!

Barring the above, the more realistic winners should include Stricker who doesn't seem to get the credit that being second in the world deserves (if he still is, can't be bothered checking), he's nearly treble Els' odds??

So I posted before the Masters

Betting on golf.......money from America for the bookies.

The last time I drew money was when Langer won the Masters

A good performance from McIlroy to finish 3rd considering he shot 80 on one round

Did anyone hear a lot of whistling during the Open?

It always seemed to happen when the camera was on Louis. Oh hang on, maybe it was the wind whistling through Louis's teeth.
