US Masters Betting

OneColdHand

Not really sure what to go for here. Els has shown some good form. Poulter hasn't been bad, but I don't really like him (as a person!). Was also thinking of Kim, but he won last week, so he's cursed!

As for an outside or e/w bet, not sure. Maybe Jiminez at 150/1.

This is where the value is. Top putter, good experience now and shot 65 last Sunday. Top 5 on the exchanges, stay away from wins bets, same as any major I suppose.

blackwaterfish

stricker @ 25/1 looks good to me.

nick watney @ 60/1..... hmmm... tempting.

hang on.... Couples @ 110/1..... NICE!

stockdam

Gotta be a Duval/Poulter 1-2.

Dr.Silly

Camilo Villegas
Charl Schwartzel

gcarty

Hunter Mahan @ 60/1 seems like a very good E/W bet
Also Tiger is 6/1 to miss the cut. This seems like a much better bet than 9/2 for him to win imo

Agreed

Nuri Sahin

My bets:

Els
Villegas
Schwartzel
Duval

and

Tiger to miss the cut.

Saw on Sky Sports News (SkyBet), Tiger to cry on the 72nd hole at 8/1..
I'll have some on that

conno16

glover, curtis, leonard at 150 - 1

RoscoBosco93

Steve Flesch @ 250/1 is a good e/w. Finished in the top 6 in the last two years. The course really suits him.

jimbling

lads, where ye getting the Tiger to miss the cut bet. Can't find it on PP anywhere.

Dr.Silly

what are peoples fixation with backing tiger to miss the cut @ 6/1

that's AWFUL value !!!

dvemail

McDowell could be worth a couple of euro for this week @125/1, he finished top european last year and if he has his short game in good nick, i think he could do it.

Mister Sifter

Poulter 33-1
Kuchar 80-1
Harrington 18-1

curly from cork

Casey
with adam scott as my outsider.

FortuneChip

I went with Woods, simply because if I didn't, he'd win, and I'd be furious for not taking 9/2!
Maybe a medium sized bet on Goosen @ 20/1
And a small bet on Jimenez @ 175/1

Don't think it's a fixation, but with all the hype and media pressure he'll be under he may not perform. And also take it into account that it is his first competition, not always easiest to fall straight back into it, especially in a masters.

All in all, 6-1 is not that AWFUL a bet at all. 4-1 on him to win it is far worse value if you ask me.

In saying that, I personally think Tiger will handle the pressure and wont crumble at all.

Aidric

Villegas & Mickelson will be my selections.

couldnt' disagree more...
I would rather have my money on him to win @ 4/1 than not make the cut @ 6/1
granted, winning it is going to be some achievment, but missing the cut ...hmmmmm.... I wouldn't even take 20/1 to be honest.

In no way trying to start an arguement here but I fail to see how 4/1 for the win is better value than 6/1 to miss the cut

Well, how many cuts has he missed in the last 10 years? it's highly unlikely

he hasn't played in 5 months, it's not that big of a deal for him as he's already proven that before. In his last 15 masters , he's won 4, in his last 15 masters, he's missed the cut, how many times ?

lol, you're just a silly silly man.

Mr. Larson

I went for the following with a tenner stake on each one:

• 31/03/2010 Single Each-Way Oosthuizen, Louis @ 125/1
• 31/03/2010 Single Each-Way Quiros, Alvaro @ 80/1
• 31/03/2010 Single Each-Way Schwartzel, Charl @ 66/1

Once when he was an amateur, the year before he smashed everyone out of sight after shooting 40 on the front 9. Can't see him missing the cut!
I know short priced bets aren't to everyones liking but the 4/5 on a top 10 finish is tempting me. Instead of all my small bets in the different markets i might just throw it all on here. 80% return, maybe Anglo should get invloved :eek: :pac:

It's not really about how many times he's won vs how many times he's missed a cut. It's about the current situation and how he's going to handle it.

Wikipedia wrote:

Then, on May 3, 2006, Woods's father, mentor and inspiration, Earl, died after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer.[70] Woods took a nine-week hiatus from the PGA Tour to be with his family. When he returned for the 2006 U.S. Open, the rust was evident—he missed the cut at Winged Foot, the first time he had missed the cut at a major as a professional, and ended his record-tying streak of 39 consecutive cuts made at majors. Still, a tie for second at the Western Open just three weeks later showed him poised to defend his Open crown at Hoylake.

I know comparing the death of the mans father is a bit low, but it does prove that when distracted he can play badly.


Dr. Silly, I wasn't even planning on betting on this, I was just interested in finding it on pp. But honestly, if you wouldnt even take 20-1, why dont you lay 10-1 to me?? You seem so convinced I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem for you.

Seems that's wrong. He missed the cut in the US Open in 2006 soon after his fathers death. See quote in my previous post. (I'm assuming wiki has it right).

syngindub

The guy thrives on adversity. it ain't going to happen. Don't be wasting your money. look to do a top ten for Tiger. That's being realistic

yes, but we were talking about "The Masters"

EDIT: Ah, I see. I thought Jerry was replying to a different post. Fair enough. I thought it was missing cuts in general, not specifically the Masters.

Fighting Irish

Tiger @ 9/2 to win, money back if he's leading after any round

Paulusmaximus

ok, my outsiders:

Ben Crane
john Merrick
Zach Johnson
John rollins.

Will do a couple of shorter priced guys later in the week, but hopefully i can trade out for profit on the above before the weekend...

BillyBoy

There are some good value bets out there, its hard to know who to go for and there is a case to be made for a lot of people. I went with a few based on form and others just because I felt like it. Always makes it interesting! Can't wait for it to start!

I went for -
Padraig Harrington - For obvious reasons, good form and Irish!

Soren Kjeldsen - Have always liked him. Good putter. At 200/1 he just caught my eye, hard to explain but just put a few euro each way on him

Ross Fisher - Again, have always liked Fisher. Playing crap this season but have backed him a few times and would hate to see him do well and I wasn't on him.

Charl Schwartzel - Having a good season, even though he is a rookie 50/1 aint bad each way odds.

Ian Poulter - I know he is widely hated on here. Don't have that much of a problem with him and think he can do well here.(but wouldn't mind if he didn't! Lol)

Will probably see what the odds are like after rounds two or three and pick someone a few shots back if there is any value there.

Sorry i'm only talking about Augusta, sure didn't he miss the cut at The Open last year.

Glynner83

Poulter to be top GB and Ire player 11/2
Zach Johnson top 20 finish 13/5

Schwarzel ew at 50's is great value. And a good EW bet on Stricker.......thats me done

Morrisseeee

Mickelson & Westwood for me, both seem primed for this. Very hard to know what Woods will do, ie. how he will handle the pressure when it arrives !! I'd love to see an Irish winner, imagine the buzz on Sunday evening if one of them were in the lead :cool:

Backed....the other week......

Els.................E/W @ 18's
Schwartzel .....E/W @ 66's
Duval.............E/W @ 200's

Villegas is a good shout too mind!!

stumpypeeps

Mike Weir, Angel Cabrera and Schwartzel each way. Figured as past champions they know their way around the course. Schwartzel is a heck of a putter and has a great short game so I think he might do well.

smilerf

karlsson is a good outside bet imo

Curran

Alvaro Quiros - what ya's reckon @ 125/1
Id say he'll put in a very good round or two but wont last the pace - if he was a bit more consistent!!

Watson at 300/1.......E/W???? Who'd have given him a chance at the British....Im kidding - the Masters is a world apart!!

madds

e/w bets on Kenny Perry, Campbell, Flesch, and Kuchar. There's a threat of thunderstorms on Thursday but other than that the forecast looks good for the weekend.

Benicetomonty

Westwood, Ogilvy and Couples all each way. Quietly confident!

syngindub

Don't think my nerves can handle another Major with Harrington in contention. I believe he had another water incident last week. It would be something else if he won though.
Maybe a sly €10 on a top five for Paddy

A New earth

Small bets (without Woods) made in Feb:

Stricker 28/1
Poulter 33/1
Kaymer 40/1

In_tuition

My preview and selections here on Paddy Power.

GorHugh

Poulter
Westwood
Kim
Stricker

E5 e/w on all of them ....

MaxPower89

Have Schwarzel at 55-1, saw him moving in from 66-1 on Saturday so jumped aboard. He is 45's now already.

Thinking about Glover, Leonard and Oosthaizen, just small bets on these.

I think Harrington can be scratched from the contenders even though he is third favourite. He has consistently blown weekend positions this year and he can't scramble his way to victory at Augusta.
