betting golf that way is a waste of money. Bet round by round.

I'll be betting round by round too, but these are some longshots that I feel are undervalued. If I feel that I have a 300-1 shot and I'm getting 700-1, I've got to put a few bucks down.

I think Phil, Tiger, or Justin takes this down. Rose is the best golfer playing right now. Never know which tiger shows up.

Yeah that's the one I like least, but I did it based on a value difference between books, and I didn't pick and choose.

Tough call before the tournament starts. You may look like a genius in a couple of days but I see $130 being wasted. The small bets add up quickly so I assume this money is just a small part of your bankroll.

Yeah, I fully expect to lose the $130. But I really think all of these players were about double priced, so I tossed a total of about 1/2 a percent of the roll down.

Picking Siem, Hed and Daly and have them all tied for top 10 or better - omg

The thing is they played their first round early things may toughen up for them today.

**1949** · 07-16-10, 07:58 AM

I don't think tiger's got it back yet but he'll be in the running

**Grind-It-Out** · 07-16-10, 07:54 PM

Adding...

$10.00 $2,500.00 +25000 British Open - Bo Van Pelt
$15.00 $2,700.00 +18000 British Open - Jin Jeong
$10.00 $1,000.00 +10000 British Open - Tom Lehman
$5.00 $300.00 +6000 British Open - Darren Clarke
$10.00 $410.00 +4100 British Open - Mark Calcavecchia

Note that the Lehman bet was a mistake though. I saw it at 140:1, but didn't get my bet in until it was 100:1. I wasn't paying attention.

**Art Vandeleigh** · 07-17-10, 02:19 AM

Rory McIlroy = Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Oosthuizen = solid young player, has been in top 20 of European tour 8 of last 12 tournaments.

**eldoctord** · 07-24-10, 09:06 AM

a field bet would have paid off nicely
