4 wiggle on 10 for double. +5 for the day. unreal choke job. i guess putting a little money on a top 5 for the guy who won last week would have been too easy...

To put it in context Ray, we had 30-1 about a golfer who was +125 through six holes of play in the last round.

See you next week.

oh , no doubt homey. i would take that spot every week and take my chances... i just didnt pay much attention to others who have been playing well. (like i didnt realize kaymer won the last euro event) you have been on fire lately. tief was an awesome pick, hes just dug a hole and gave up at the turn. we will have a lot of fun next week. i love the open and all the coverage.

Unless my numbers are old, Goosen not out of top 5 just yet...

englishmike · 07-12-09, 10:21 AM

Ray, beileve it or not this guy has just carded 2 straight birdies, 2 more in the final 4 holes makes us 7.5 Units.

Public service Smitch, I'm posting for the people on the lake checking in on their I Phone.

Goosen missed the fairway on 18 and needs a birdie

englishmike · 07-12-09, 11:19 AM

Horrible. Makes a 12 ft putt.....for par. Unreal. Tied 6th.

If Dicky Pride was stood in front of me right now I'd put a fukkin bullet in his head.

Englishmike - Sharp play on Goosen - nice call, even if no win.

Most if not all books which book USA action do not take each way bets. I have a question re: each way bets - E.g., What if the finish is:
Winner; 3 people tied for 2nd (making 4 people total at this point), and 3 tied for 3rd?
You have an ew bet for top 5. I assume this means the top 5 players finishing. In the example I give, there are 8 people involved due to the tie for 3rd.

Does the ew bet pay all of the 8 players?

If so, is the payout less than normal for players 6-7-8?

englishmike · 07-13-09, 05:36 PM

Scooter:

In the example you give, (and I'm speaking of my experience with Euro books) the players finishing First and Second count for Top 5. The three tied for third would be graded under 'dead heat rules' whereby your payout will be affected, in this example I beileve your stake would be halved and then paid out accordingly.

This is a constantly changing situation however because certain books are now bringing in 'Top 5 and Ties,' meaning in your example above you would get paid the normal payout because he would count as Top 5, EXTRABET are the most recent book to implement this rule and have seen far more money from me because of it.

Hope this answers the question.
