could Stuart Appleby win the Masters?

**brooks85** · 04-06-09, 01:07 PM

Thats very good thinking

Im liking
Who will win?
Tiger +225
The field -295

I would not be surprised at all if tiger wins. But, the field... ill take it at the masters anyday vs one person.

**golfer72** · 04-06-09, 01:15 PM

Apples doesn't look good in green

Take Retief Goosen @ 30-1. His last four starts at Augusta are t3, t3, t2, and t17. Oh and let's not forget that he's currently in-form winning the Transitions Championship 3 weeks ago.
If you want a long shot- back Nick Watney @ 50-1- been on fire this year and excels on the same venues that Phil does (same instructor too).

**golfer72** · 04-06-09, 01:18 PM

Back the field against Tiger

I agree with taking the field against Tiger. I don't believe "He's Back" as the experts are indicating. He didn't so much win last week- as O'hair lost. He is far from his A game- but, of course, he can beat most with his B game. Take the field.

**shantystar** · 04-06-09, 03:20 PM

hopefully he did

**brooks85** · 04-06-09, 04:53 PM

I'll take the money and buy you some reading lessons.

**brooks85** · 04-06-09, 09:19 PM

the matchups are out
1st rd - Phil +195 vs tiger
Paddy+225
Ogilvy+225

**chrisharvard01** · 04-07-09, 10:07 PM

Sportsbook.com has Phil Mickelson at +750

creditwager has him at +900

hmmmmmmm

**BetterBetter** · 04-08-09, 12:40 AM

I'm thinking of playing:

Tiger Woods to lead after first round +500
Tiger to lead after second round +350
Tiger to lead or joint lead after first round +300

If any of them hit I am at worst even. If they all hit I would be way up. Any AVID golf followers have any input on this? I know Tiger is coming off a long break but he is still the favorite and for a reason. I usually only catch the last day or two of tourneys so I don't know how well he usually does in the first and second round.

Also thinkin of taking an american to win -165
or the big three (Woods, Mickelson, Harrington) Ev

**brooks85** · 04-08-09, 05:32 PM

Well, we know Tim clark is not going to win.

**The General** · 04-08-09, 07:39 PM

Wide open, IMO

That is to win the whole shabang. Brooks is talking about beating Tiger in the first round.

**Shortstop** · 04-09-09, 12:13 AM

I'm taking Phil Mickelson +625. This is Lefty's year.

**unde0087** · 04-09-09, 12:55 AM

He won't even be on the first page of the leaderboard at the end of any day. He had his chance and blew it. I have to believe that Tiger will win.

**Tsoprano** · 04-09-09, 02:18 AM

To the original question: No

**raydog** · 04-09-09, 02:59 AM

tsop, if zach johnson and trevor immelman can win the masters, stuart appleby most certainly can. will i bet on him? no. but i had a few that did

play the stats as always guys. if you are going to bet phil, bet him at +750-900 to win(whatever your shop has) and dont bet him to beat tiger at +200-250, whatever it is. chances are tiger will finish top 3 and chances are if phil beats tiger, he wins. its like betting on the qb to win mvp of the superbowl. the team wins, best chances are the qb wins the mvp

dont waste money on the gwatney kid(unless you get a great value # somewhere 1st or 2nd round which i didnt really see any) or the mcilroy kid. quite a few caddies are fading harrington. he hasnt been playing worth a shit and he has more pressure on him this week than any player has had in a while(going for 3 straight majors)

in the past, there have been plenty of HU matches that tiger has lost on day 1. most of my guys are in the know about this and tend to stay away because, well ya know, its tiger woods and no matter what has happened in the past, betting against tiger is dead fukkin money.

kj choi to make the cut -220. table max wager for me

LONG SHOT

Appleby, the 54-hole leader at the 2007 Masters (finished T7), is tempting me at +8000

Appleby shoots well in Augusta. He established a Masters record in 2001 playing 50 consecutive holes without a bogey.

Thoughts?

Is that betting $100 to win $8000 or are you getting 8000 to 1 odds? I'd bet on myself to win the Masters at 8000 to 1, if Appleby is listed at 8000 to 1 he either broke both his arms or is planning on just using his putter for every shot. If I send you $5 to your paypal account will you bet him for me, after he wins just send me the $40,000.

pretty cut and dry headstrong. if it were 8000 to 1, thats what he would have said. + or - money has always been on a $100 wager as far as i know. either you really dont know shit about gambling or you just made a dumbass out of yourself. i have a good idea which one. when is the last time you ever saw a book list a bet at + or - money that wasnt based on a $100 bet? are you just trying to be a douchebag? if so, thats cool, just try not to make yourself look like a total dumbass while doing it. no hard feelings here bud, just pointing out your error to you and good luck with your masters wagers. i think you were just trying to be a smartass but looks like you:

btw, if you were lucky enough to get him at +8000, it seems to be nice value since its dropped everywhere since the post.

**Shortstop** · 04-09-09, 04:11 AM

Some posters here are simply unreal raydog.

Just having fun, hints the I'd bet on myself, he must have broken both his arms, he must be using his putter on every shot, $5 for $40,000......but while we are pointing things out you are no road scholar either my friend. "thats" needs an apostrophe, "dont" could use one as well, "wasnt" also has an apostrophe, "douchebag" is two words, I'd at least think you know "dumbass" is two words....that figures. I'm assuming you taught your dog everything he knows. Now back to the serious conversation at hand......

**Shortstop** · 04-09-09, 04:54 AM

head strong

**jjgold** · 04-09-09, 04:58 AM

No he is a choker, never won much his whole career and sure is not going to win on the big stage.

**raydog** · 04-09-09, 06:43 AM

i agree jj, he lets pressure get to him. he does, however, play well at augusta. i kinda look for him to play decent for a few days. jj, whats amazing is that even though vijay hasnt played much, he went 30th in my masters pool draft. 7th in the world and previous winner goes fukkin 30th. if he even makes the cut, he earns people points.

dont use apostrophes headstrong. they are a waste of my time. you got the point though didnt ya pal. i use them about as often as you use common sense while bashing a poster. and you werent having fun, you were trying to be a dick and ended making yourself look stupid and are trying to cover up for it now. dont worry buddy, we all do it at some point. like i said, no hard feelings. gl this week

**pico** · 04-09-09, 06:46 AM

he sucks. i bet on him couple of times...lost every time. i gave up on this aussie long time ago

**CaneDawg** · 04-09-09, 06:52 AM

little to no chance..putting stroke often fails him

i am backing goosen,furyk, and phil

but if tiger gets off to a decent start...its over

**BrentCrude** · 04-09-09, 06:54 AM

Sportsinteraction for longshots!

The nice thing about Tiger Woods is that he drives up the odds on other obscure capable golfers such as Zach Johnson winning in years gone by.I bet the Masters every year at SportsInteraction and play teenie amounts on a bunch of unknowns.There really aren't that many bad golfers anymore and even 200-1 shots can win this thing.I even bet on some 1000-1 guys.This year I went with an Asian theme where I picked all the Asian guys as longshots.Ancient Gary Player brought up the rear at 10,000-1 Talk about being dissed.hehe!

**brooks85** · 04-09-09, 12:38 PM

Clark wins the par 3 tournament and comes out with a -4 today. Have to fade him in the 3 rd if he has another good day tomorrow.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 04-09-09, 12:50 PM

I got Vijay Singh at 80 to 1... That looked pretty good to me as he is very streaky.

I also have Watney at 38 to 1
Greg Norman 200 to 1 (he's playing very well right now but I expect him to fade)
Geoff ogilvy 12 to 1

Of course I should have just entered the field myself and take home the $7,500,000 top prize

**brooks85** · 04-09-09, 01:00 PM

Campbell needs to calm down. With all these low scores Tigers gotta be expecting big things.

I wanted to take greg but I never saw odds for him at 5dimes.

A buddy of mine kept the electronic score for him last week at the Shell Houston Open. He played loose and was a blast to be around.
