    Who is backing who.

    I won money on the Us Open by backing people to miss the cut.

    Might do that again

    Had Cabrera in the US open so looking to double up.

    So for me Darren Clarke is my top tip.

    Can't decide who else but Harrington will get a punt just in case he does the impossible,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭mccutchie


    Ernie for me and I'll have an e.w on two outsiders,

    Scott Verplank 80/1
    Chad Campbell 250/1

    Im gonna go for Zach Johnson, he is 170 on bf at the moment while hes 80's in lads and 125 in pp. Hes 4th in the driving accuracy ratings on the us tour. Il probably do somebody else on saturday if hes out of the running.

    mcdowell seems overpriced great links player and in good form


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,798 ✭✭✭Mister Sifter


    Donald, McDowell, Monty, Adam Scott.

    I'll stick a few quid on each of those i think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,193 ✭✭✭pd101


    tigers going to win but apart from him id fancy someone like rose or dougherty


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 238 ✭✭EARMUFFS


    backed poulter at 90/1 on bf..9th in france 8th in Scotland although did miss the cut at liverpool last year..still fancy price..:)

    Myles Byrne (Ian Woosnam's favourite caddy) was telling me that when Paul Lawrie won the Open way back when, he was in pretty much the same form as he is now, BRUTAL! He said the fact that the Open was in Carnoustie (his back garden) made him play! So, I'll be putting a few bob e/w on him, and I'll pick someone else on Friday or Saturday.

    Tiger may possibly run away with it and I know some serious punters to think it is easy money.

    Im going to look at the top 5 and 10 finish odds with PP. Thinking of the following short list at the moment and will finalise later;

    Harrington - top 5
    Furyk - top 5
    Donald - top 5
    McDowell - top 10
    Stenson - top 10
    Campbell - top 10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 144 ✭✭BrianTheMessiah


    Why don't you just back them all to be in the first 10?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭bazwin


    A good outside bet is Grame Storm....200/1 each way bet....
    Also Justin Rose or Monty each way as well


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 495 ✭✭Sajan


    Chris DiMaraco. 125/1 with PP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 384 ✭✭badbrian


    Hoping for another Lawrie like result...

    Clarke 100/1
    Sterne 100/1
    McDowell 100/1
    Davis 200/1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,807 ✭✭✭✭Orion


    I've backed:
    Furyk to win: 24.0
    Furyk Top 5: 6.2 (My break even bet - I'll be surprised if he's not in the top 5)
    Harrington Top UK&Irl: 7.0
    Fasth Top 5: 10.0
    O'Hern Top 10: 11.5

    €15 e/w David Frost Top South African @ 20/1.

    €50 win Woods @ 3/1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,987 ✭✭✭Trampas


    I went for Brian davis, Graeme Storm, Michael Putnam all to miss the cut and Goose to make it in an accum

    And Karlsson, Edfors and Oberholser all to miss the cut

    €15 on each one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 640 ✭✭✭Par72


    I stuck a few quid on McIlroy yesterday at 750-1. He's doing great so far, lets hope he keeps it going!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47 Davkie


    Got 4euro EW on Mcilroy at 1000-1 from PP , on Wednesday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 120 ✭✭samelterrance


    I wonder if you can get odds for Harrington and Monty NEVER winning a major.
    I would bet my house on that one. !!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 144 ✭✭BrianTheMessiah


    McIlroy +2 now, +5 for the day. Watching him yesterday, he seemed good off the tee, and his approaches were superb. His putting was letting him down though. He seems to rush his putts. Oh, and he looks like a munchkin, or something!
