Title: The Open Golf Betting Post by: neildawson on July 13, 2009, 10:04:49 AM The Open is almost upon us. What are your bets?
Rory McIlroy has dropped from 100/1 to 25/1 in recent weeks - I take it the bookies watched him shoot 63 round Turnberry a fortnight ago in a practice round too. The Ailsa course favours someone who draws the ball and can hit fairways. I'm going for the straightest of them all David Toms E/W at 80/1 on WillHill and another couple of quid E/W on Jim Furyk at 40/1. The wife will no doubt want money on her usual two - Villegas (55s on WillHill) and Harrington (33s on Coral) - both of whom I'm quite happy to have on my slip. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: fatshaft on July 13, 2009, 12:00:23 PM A number of fancies, Jacquelin, Westwood, Ross Fisher, Martin Laird, and if the weather looks grim, Paul Lawrie.
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: action man on July 13, 2009, 12:11:48 PM has els got a chance? my mate wants a bet sticking on him?
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Micko on July 13, 2009, 12:41:26 PM has els got a chance? my mate wants a bet sticking on him? I actually was looking at Els paddy power are going 7 places ew this year and it 33's i might take a little. He had a nice last round at loch lomond but his form has been awful the last year plus. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: david3103 on July 13, 2009, 12:42:51 PM Els at 49/1 on betfair, who are also still offering the chance to lay Mickelson.
Given that he has confirmed he's not playing ..... Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: action man on July 13, 2009, 12:46:14 PM nr/nb?
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: action man on July 13, 2009, 12:48:02 PM june to make £100 you need £10k to rest on betfair till the end of the comp
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: fatshaft on July 13, 2009, 01:02:59 PM This may be a stupid question, but can you back each way on Betfair?
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: AndrewT on July 13, 2009, 01:12:22 PM This may be a stupid question, but can you back each way on Betfair? For the golf you can bet winner, top 5 or top 10 - three different markets.

Ross Fisher's wife is about to drop their first sprog so he's a pretty doubtful runner. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Longy on July 13, 2009, 02:43:46 PM Els at 49/1 on betfair, who are also still offering the chance to lay Mickelson. Given that he has confirmed he's not playing ..... This seems like a really really bad idea to me from betfairs rules If a player does not start a tournament then all bets on that player will be void.. So if he changes his mind, you have just laid Mickleson at a ridic price. The shrewd thing to do is back him at 100 hoping he me might turn up and then lay that price off when he tees off in the 1st round.

Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: chrisbruce on July 13, 2009, 04:06:31 PM I think it is worth holding offf your bets until the weather / draw is a bit clearer.
The weather can play a massive part in the outcome.

The weather can play a massive part in the outcome. It could certainly pay not to have all of your selections in one half of the draw, unless it's the good half of course.

Trahan Andersson Hed And for old times sake Sir Nick Faldo My bet this week comes in the US Bank Championship which runs alongside Open Brett Quigley Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Blatch on July 14, 2009, 05:32:09 AM Im on Goosen and Westwood EW with paddy power for top 7 places.
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: david3103 on July 14, 2009, 06:20:31 AM I'm looking for a few to back Top 10/Top 5/Winner on betfair. Hopefully lay the Top 10 when they make the cut and be freerolling Top 5/Winner.
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: MKKfish on July 14, 2009, 11:14:09 AM Henrik Stensen is a stand out at 33s imo and Sabbatini at 200s is ridic good value!
So those two with a Stricker saver is my slip for this week. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: ACE2M on July 14, 2009, 12:47:09 PM i'm on kenny perry, nick watney and rafael jaquelin - the course is set up so well for kenny perrys game that i'm considering going in again, but i am shit at golf bets so probably best not to.

Most are matched Andrew, but I'm still waiting on a few which are mainly in the place markets. I'll stick my picks up tomorrow at the latest.

I hope you get a run for your money, but there was a good reason for that price. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Graham C on July 14, 2009, 10:44:29 PM So far I'm going with Woods at 3.7 and Monty at hopefully 400.0.
Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Karabiner on July 14, 2009, 11:38:50 PM Okay my main fancy for this year's Open has had one top 25 finish this season and I can't remember the last time that he won a tournament other than at Lytham in 2001, but he made such an impression on me with his play at this year's US open that I honestly feel that he has found some belief again and he's definitely made a believer out of me. I really fancy him strongly to have a good run in this championship.
David Duval @ 190 and I'm also on @ 18 in the top 10 market. Other fancies are: Mike Weir @ 130, Camillo Villegas @ 95, Nick Dougherty @ 220, Andres Romero @ 210, and I couldn't resist a little dabble on Chris Wood @ 500 who had such a good run last year as an amateur. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Graham C on July 15, 2009, 12:31:36 AM Double D could be a good shout, he did play well in the US Open and it's great to see him get back to some form.

Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Matt50 on July 17, 2009, 04:38:03 PM You are probably right, but apart from Goosen and Tom Watson he is the only player in the top 16 to have won a major. He hit 13/14 fairways today, and he hasnt 3 putted once yet this week.
It can obviously all change when the pressure is really on at the weekend, but the guy has been there before and won it. I am going to let it ride tomorrow as i am out and then re-asses the prices sunday morning. Your bet on Goosen is looking very good at the moment.

Lots of top players under par already, would be surprised if many of them finished over par, but not many of the over par guys are capable of getting into the red numbers.

As has been well documented, Ross Fisher's wife is maximally pregnant and Ross has said that if he gets the phone call to say that his wife has gone into labour he will finish the hole that he is playing and leave the course so that he can be with her when their first child is born irrespective of his position in the tournament, and to this end he has a mobile phone with him on the course at all times. This mobile phone is entrusted to his caddy who, should Fisher win the Open, could expect a payday of £100K+. And remember that he is only one shot off the lead with probably the greatest chance that he or his caddy will ever have to win one of golf's biggest prizes. Is the phone secretly switched off at some stage or is it kept on ? Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: matt674 on July 19, 2009, 12:03:10 PM phone on and upto Fisher what he does if he gets the phone call - if caddie turns off phone, Fisher wins open but then finds out his wife had given birth 2 hours previous chances are he wont get paid anyway!! :D

Her husband may never have the chance to win a major again while hopefully there will be another few Fisherlets to come. His whole life has been devoted to this chance; I don't think she'll deny him this opportunity.

She is currently 5 days over due and if she does go into labour I expect him to go. Ill have a lay ready and waiting should anything happen. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Karabiner on July 19, 2009, 02:44:21 PM Has anyone got Ross Fisher's mobile number ?

Twitched and laid some 7/1 Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Blatch on July 19, 2009, 03:14:03 PM Think the 7/1 looks a good price at moment and I wouldnt be laying it back just yet.

Compare that with Tiger: won 15 lost 2. Title: Re: The Open Golf Betting Post by: Josedinho on July 19, 2009, 07:24:30 PM It's not the fairytale but you don't win the Open and play badly so hats off to Cink.

When Watson was coming into his prime he had to contend with the dominant triumvitate of Palmer, Player, and Nicklaus. Not to mention players like Trevino, Miller, Casper and Seve in what was a golden era of golf. I think that Watson had a bit of a reputation as a choker after a load of 2nd places (playoff losses) before he managed to win which may explain that record to some extent.

Maybe the 2-8 was Majors. Nicklaus had 19 2nd places in Majors to go along with his 18 victories btw. Okay I can't resist a minor chirp although if he'd holed that putt at the last he's have been in the playoff.......
