    A sport I'll never bet again!

    Just for fun, and to help the time pass, I decided to bet 2 2nd round matchups in Golf in Arnold Palmer's tourny.

    Wouldn't you know both of my matchups would go to the last hole.

    1) I have Ernie Els, and he trails Ian Poulter by 1 stroke. Els has a 7 foot putt to give me the push after Poulter's round was complete, but he chokes! I lose by 1.

    2) I have Allenby, and he is tied with Baddeley on the final hole. Allenby has a 2 footer for birdie, which he drains. Of course Baddeley hits his 26 foot birdie putt for the push.


    If Els hits his 7 footer, and Baddeley misses his 26 footer, then I go 1-0-1.
    Instead the opposite happens, and I go 0-1-1.

    I gave it a try, and it's not worth betting.

    Golf is tough but I think an individual sport which makes it somewhat easier than team sports

    i think it's one of the most exciting to bet b/c those guys are all so close in ability that you are literally never out of the bet until the final putt falls. helps that i've followed it all my life and played with several guys out there right now (Brian Gay, Stewart Cink, Jason Dufner, Roland Thatcher, Kris Blanks, Heath Slocum).
