Yes it was !
But let me ask you ...does LAKERKID ever add anything worthwhile to any thread ?
Well ,maybe that's what he's famous for ?

andrewaxia · 07-19-09, 12:09 AM

Rockies bring me back down just like the Brewers did last night.

$333 left. I'm going with golf once again to pick me up. I might go for the killer and pick Ross Fisher to win it all @ +405 or I might just take him over Retief Goosen. Will decide shortly.

Weather @ Turnberry Sunday will be brutal. 30MPH winds and lots of rain. As much as I don't want to I might have to sit out the Open :-(

Chi_archie · 07-19-09, 12:15 AM

Good Luck and thanks for the ride!!!

andrewaxia · 07-19-09, 12:19 AM

I've actually done this once before (although not documented). I try it at least once a month - especially during a major tennis or golf event. My 1K plays are the keys for me early on, if I hit those I get close (and even once reached) my goal. I've never bounced back 3 times in a row and right now I'm 0-for-2 so for all you history/stats followers, you might want to fade my next pick :-)

Leaders don't tee off till 9AM so I might wait till the AM and see how the conditions are, even though I might get screwed on the price.

johncrud · 07-19-09, 12:26 AM

Getting to 1K is the hardest part. Once you did that, win 3 times straight with each time doubling down will easily reach your goal.

ABEHONEST · 07-19-09, 12:32 AM

Hello Andrewaxia !Someone ,I thought by now would have told you ...you need to find more gambling outs !
If you ever do reach your destination,it will be a lot quicker and safer getting the "best lines" for your picks .
Now that is THE LAW for any smart gambler !Trust me on this one !

Nickelicious · 07-19-09, 12:53 AM

I like Goosen over Fisher.

Hey, you can get 10-1 odds on Mathew Goggin, 3 under and just one behind Watson. I put half a unit on him already. He's been pretty solid on the Tour and is playing lights out. Get you over $3,000 real quick!

Your book doesn't take down the odds as soon as the 1st group goes off?

andrewaxia · 07-19-09, 01:04 AM

For the overall tournament yes, for the individual matchup it's up till they tee off.

andrewaxia · 07-19-09, 05:14 AM

ROUND 4 MATCHUP

Ross Fisher -110 over R. Goosen

Risking 333.00 To Win 302.73

MartinBlank · 07-19-09, 07:47 AM

Weather looks pretty decent so far, and I like your Fisher pick.

The only odd thing with Fisher was his wife getting close to being in labor, and Fisher had said he would leave the tournament if she went into labor. How crazy would that be to watch Fisher walk off the tee before he starts? The Golf Channel had a story about him having a private plane ready and waiting for him.

PAPSMEAR · 07-19-09, 07:50 AM

Will Fisher be concentrating on the task at hand if his wife is about to give birth to their child?

Goodluck Andre

...besides he should be at the pub in times like that shouldn't he?

andrewaxia · 07-19-09, 03:21 PM

Looked good through 5 holes, then OUCH. Money for this experiment has reached ZERO.

Next time folks. Back to normal wagering Monday

Bruno87 · 07-19-09, 03:24 PM

I enjoyed your picks...

Will you continue posting ?
