Yes I played Rugby with Brian O' Driscoll from aged 10-13. Tell your friend about that.

I bet on the Heineken Cup, its a point spread, similar to NFL.

It can't be exciting to watch your bet I suppose. So many sports only so much time.

No easy answer, about 150 guys start a typical PGA tournament. When Tiger Woods is entered, it's become a try and beat Tiger show. He generally starts a tournament in the +150 to +200 range. Amazing, he is really quite the freak. Anyway, Australian golfers have become pretty strong recently, I think this is the generation that was inspired by Greg Norman. Guys like Aaron Baddeley, Geoff Ogilvy (U.S. Open winner 2 years ago), Adam Scott, Stuart Appleby, Nick O'hern are all in the top 40 in the 2008 world rankings so watch out for them.

Mo I'm not sure if you're confusing me with someone else, I've only posted at SBR, no other sport/gambling forums.

There is another Art Vandalay who posts at SBR, he was here before me, but I don't see too many posts from him. (Hey Art, if you're reading this!)

After I made my initial posts at SBR, I read a comment from one of the moderators that they knew SBR had become an important forum if 2 Art V.'s were posting here. Cracked me up to read that, so I kept the name as a reminder to them how dominant this place has become.

If you really know golf and gof courses it is possible

5-Dimes offers Top-5 prices on nearly all golfers in a given tourney, and they give you full odds even if you tie for fifth. I usually come up with a couple of "bargains" every week with two basic strategies. First, I look for lesser names that have played well in their last outing. Second, I watch for late win money the day before play starts. While books are quick to lower win odds on big bets, they often forget to adjust the Top-5 odds accordingly.

I play mostly for entertainment and will watch the last day if I still have a golfer in the running. My best score was in one of the majors last year when I hit two Top-5 bets, collecting 7k on Jerry Kelly alone. This week I have Anthony Kim at 16-1 to make the top five.
