Golf - The Open - 8 Places e/w

NedTermo · 06-07-2011 10:11AM #1

Just been on oddschecker and seen that Boylesports are paying 8 Places on the Open and are top price on the top three McIlroy, Westwood and Donald.

Time to do my homework!

The_Kew_Tour · 06-07-2011 11:30AM

have Watney at 38
Schwartzel 46
Ye Yang 130

Also did Watney ew with PP yesterday at 33/1.

Watney has good links record. Rory will be man to beat but he too short if he was 10-12/1 I be on him I think.

Adam Scott could be decent shout...

Like you must get studying.

Nuri Sahin · 06-07-2011 05:41PM

Watney and Day are certs for me.

McIlroy's odds are just

Vurnon San Benito · 06-07-2011 06:16PM

Jason Day's odds aren't bad as I expected. Nice bitteen on him EW

the groutch · 06-07-2011 09:46PM

whether the 8 places is worth it often depends on your personal risk adversity

eg.

mickelson

boyles 28/1 8 places
paddys 33/1 7 places

nick watney

boyles 25/1 8 places
paddys 28/1 7 places
bet365 33/1 6 places

Vurnon San Benito · 06-07-2011 10:47PM

Certainly for Watney there I'd be opting for BET365 or Betfair..

Westwood win at 9 (meant to back him at 11 but had to go to work this morning then he played a blinder in Scotland - fml!). Due a major win, playing well and came 2nd last year so hopefully he can go one better this year. He is as consistent as they come so I'll get my moneys worth anyway.

Goosen at 45/1 each way, does well at the Open and seems to thrive on links

Layed McIlroy at 7 on betfair, he might win it but he's far too short so I'm laying him solely for that reason.

Nuri Sahin · 08-07-2011 11:55AM

Was saying this on Twitter yesterday afternoon, and now just saw the leaderboard at the John Deere. He might have a bad a 3 final rounds but anyway this was based of oldie pick I usually have + the fact he did so well at the 2003 Open on the same course.

Davis Love III @ 125/1

.. added to Watney @ 28/1 , Day @ 28/1 and Garcia @ 20/1

Will have one more bet, probably based more off the form in Scottish Open.

Only bite i've taken so far is Phil at 33s. Doesn't have a great record at the Open as everyone knows but i can't refuse him at that price. Even if he doesn't win, he's 8-1 to finish in the top 7 or 8!

Westwood @ 9/1
F Molinari @ 66/1
F Jacobson @ 66/1
G Bourdy @ 200/1

Nuri Sahin · 10-07-2011 10:06PM

Garcia

irishshadowfax · 11-07-2011 10:55AM

Anyone have the TV coverage schedule for this? I'm just hoping I don't have to listen to the clown Peter Alliss for too long...!

Open Championship - Quick tip for those that aren't aware - Wind / weather is likely to play a big part this week and if anything like last year where 1 half of the draw/field was virtually eliminated by the fierce winds , there is great value in backing the huge odds available on Betfair for trading. Oosthuizen was backed at 400 and upwards last year on B/f and traded @ 2.0 after 3 rounds and of course went on to win. There are numerous players who you wouldn't be surprised to see lift the trophy at odds of 300 and above. 2 standout Americans at those prices are Ryan Palmer and Bill Haas. Simon Dyson, a brilliant links player is currently being offered @ 300 and will no doubt drift out further. Anders Hansen could be this year's Louis!

Nice tips, cheers.

Betpack are doing money back if McIlroy wins it. Tempted to have a few quid e/w on Harrington.

The_Kew_Tour · 11-07-2011 01:38PM

Here is my bets so far on betfair

the good
Steve Stricker got at 55 now 42
Adam Scott 75 now 70
YE Yang 120 now 100
Peter Hanson 120 now 90
Stewart Cink 170 still 170

the not so good
Nick Watney 36 now 38
Charl Schwartzel 46 now 50 still think both are value at price I got them though.

Also done Watney e/w with PP at 33's

Not really, if you have €5 e/w and he is placed your returns are €46 for a €10 outlay that is a little bigger than 7/2.

3ndahalfof6 · 11-07-2011 04:30PM

PAUL CASEY 50/1

ROBERT ALLENBY 125/1

ROBERT KARLSSON 66/1

HENRIK STENSON 45/1

Yes you can

Degag · 11-07-2011 07:38PM

As said, i have Michelson backed, i'll take another lump from him at 45s too. Also looking at Fisher 80/1, Quiros 90/1, F Molinari 125/1 and Casey 75/1

Also thinking Furyk @ 125/1 and Bubba Wason 110/1 represent serious value. thoughts?

wiger toods · 12-07-2011 01:01AM

Did george coetzee 200/1 E5 ew. I would think he has as much chance as tom watson winning it, but will expect the ew part of the bet! #Shakes fist while muttering 'come on coetzee behind gritted teeth'#:pac:

Vurnon San Benito · 12-07-2011 01:10AM

I like the look of Watson's odds for trading purposes.
Decent first round, shoots under then there's no chance he'll be anywhere near 111.0

I don't like to put people off their selections as anything can happen in golf but I'll just give you the reason why they're so big.

Fuyrk has undergone swing changes this year after being the best player on the PGA Tour last year (seems to be the latest trend) and has played some of the worst golf of his life this year. Bubba Watson is not the type of player who likes being away from his home as he demonstrated in France a few weeks back. I got the impression he actually wanted to miss the cut so he could go home and can see him easily losing interest and patience in the British Open if things don't start well.

Fisher is definitely 1 to watch for me. Showing signs of a return to form and plays well in the wind and on links courses. Probably have a look at him in round 1 and decide.

I'll be looking for a good match bet against Watson and decent odds for him to miss the cut.

chickendinner · 12-07-2011 09:43AM

What do you think of Thomas Bjorn

Ist reserve in 400/1

2nd at this course/event a few years ago

ValueSeeker · 12-07-2011 09:50AM

I think you can't go wrong backing the likes of Bjorn with a small bet at a price like that. Free rolling, mentally strong, experienced bad weather player and already a winner this year. And as mentioned, if he gets the right side of the draw, those odds will look even bigger.
