    Kuch made the cut but at +7 he won't be doing much.

    I am still in shock at Gmac, I would have bet my first born he will be there or thereabouts on Sunday night. Boy, did I call that wrong.

    Just a small one this week.
    €5 top 10 double, Bradley in the travellers and Sergio in the BMW championship. Pays 50 (I hope!)

    Bradley couldnt do it for you.

    In other news, Harrington has to be worth a dart after his round today. He's showing perfect form for the Irish open :)

    Thomas Bjorn to win the irish open! Playing fantastic and knocking on the door for a few comps now. G-mac will get a piece of my gambling fund too. Gonna incorporate something with Jason day in the AT&T too.

    Your mad for the doubles. I can't even back 1 winner!!
    Bookies love doubles and accums!

    The doubles are only top 10 doubles for a fiver or so for interest. I do like them though. I wouldn't bet more than that most weeks but the big weeks get a bigger betting fund.

    Ya I see that alright. Golf betting for me is all interest really. Usually just small token bets. Good luck with your bets this week. I must have a look at some stats and pick out a couple for the Irish open.

    I dont understand bookies. Thomas Bjorn limps in to the open after this weekend and they put him in at 40's.

    Honest to god, on my boys life's, on saturday night I looked at blixt 4 back at 9's, and Gmac joint leader at 2's and thought it was a great tenner double. Never put it on at all. :(
    Still, screw gambling, delighted both of them got the wins.

    I can't for the life of me understand how there could be any such thing as a golf betting market. I mean even at the height of Tiger Woods' dominance, it seems like madness to back any one player to win a particular event, it's just way too random

    I think you're missing the bigger picture there... The odds reflect the randomness.

    Some good money to be made on it, particularly in on PGA Tour events around the California and Florida events around the start of the year. A bit of research reveals a lot about course form etc.

    He has better form than half the field (including Clarke). Bookies won't be long putting a 1 before his price after a bad start.

    I have a couple of euro each way on Peter Uihlein at 66/1 this week in Scotland and he's 2nd at the minute. Now all I need for him is not to collapse in rounds 3 & 4 like he did at Carton House a couple of weeks back.

    Have to say The Open betting is like the grand national in a way.
    Look at last 10 opens. Would be very hard to pick any of them. Even Els at that time. Cink, clarke, likes of Curtis comes along, johnson was in the mix then Watson could have won it. It is a freak and nobody can call draw or weather.

    Look at the likes of :
    Fisher
    Casey
    Donald
    Westwood
    Lowry
    Poulter
    Donaldson
    Lawrie
    Laird
    Mcilroy
    Mcdowel
    Rose
    wood
    Dyson
    etc. etc.


    Just the Uk and Ireland lads, Nobody on here could say who will do well or even pick top 3 with 5 efforts of above.


    Paddy Power loves it id say. Sure why do you think they pay 7.

    In saying that I won on clarke. A bit of educated luck.

    This is *not* a general golf chat thread lads.
    Betting only, otherwise you are diluting the other tournament threads.

    Please keep it to betting *only*, as per the First Post.

    Chat moved.

    You can make educated guesses at the 'draw' (its not really a random draw obviously).
    They are likely to stick with what they've previously done regarding pairings and timings, and the top players are unlikely to get a.m. or p.m. graveyard slots.

    So if you fancy someone in the top dozen in the betting I think its safe to assume the draw won't be an issue. Weather is more of an unknown obviously, I think you just have to accept it as a potential gamechanger but to an extent that applies to every tournament.
