Title: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Karabiner on July 12, 2010, 01:53:02 PM I'm really looking forward to this rather like a gourmet who's been invited to a Michelin starred restaurant.
So far I have been matched on Thongchai Jaidee at what I feel to be a humungous 430 on BF. The guy's been playing really well lately and I honestly could see him going very close given a little luck in running such as the draw which often plays a big part in these links events. I've also taken the 120 on K.J.Choi as I suspect it won't get any bigger. I really like both his game and his temperament and frequently pick him in the majors as I'm sure he deserves to win at least one. I thought he was going to win The Masters this year until Mickelson went on that incredible run. I've added Camillo Villegas to my team this week @ 110, as he is a low ball-hitter and should be well suited to links golf with windy conditions and slower greens. The fourth member of my original picks to be matched is the bjorn-again ;shame; Thomas Bjorn. He has rediscovered the winning habit this year with his remodelled swing and came very close with the old flawed one, so 230 on BF looks like decent value to me. I couldn't resist trawling the 800/1+ "no-hopers" at the bottom of the BF win market barrel and sticking a rather hopeful cockle on the man I call "Nacho", Ignacio Garrido @ 860. He becomes my wild-card and completes my complement for this year's Open. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Josedinho on July 12, 2010, 04:23:41 PM I know you wait until you get matched but will you post your other picks before it starts. I'd like to have small bet on 3 or 4 players but nobody immediately jumps out at me so looking for some ideas.

That does not look to me like a man on top of his game and a worthy favourite for the Open. Oh yeah, and NO he wont sign your shirt!!!! Much as I would like to lay Tiger for a large bet I am simply not bankrolled to do it. I am happy to take him on in the 3 ball betting though with both Justin Rose and Camillo Villegas on my side. 5pt lay @ 2.26 5pt Tiger to miss the cut @ 1.17 Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's.

In the last 13 Open championships that both Els and Mickleson have played in Els has beaten Mickleson every time. I got a little 10/11 with an Aussie firm and a little 10/11 with a US frim but the best I can see now is 1.85 or 4/5 with Extrabet. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's.

Post by: ACE2M on July 14, 2010, 12:35:34 PM Soren Kjeldsen is my big price pick. He putts like god from distance and plays well in poor weather, 2 things at an absolute premium this week probably. He gets into contention fairly regularly. Big detractor is his lack of distance off the tee.
360 on BF was big price i thought, definitly looking to trade out if he gets involved at any point as he doesn't like to actually win. Happy i backed rose yesterday before Chapman tipped him this morning. Donald has good form at st andrews and is in form so had a bit outright and him in 72 mole match bet v poulter. Had a go of big hitting karllson, if he is hitting it straight this week he could kill the course. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's.

Post by: Linux on July 15, 2010, 05:53:59 PM My team Big bet - Rory McIlroy @ 17.5 -9 Just in case - Eldrick Woods @ 7.8 -5 The B team - Justin Rose @ 23 -2 - Martin Kaymer @ 46 - Camilo Villegas @110 -4 - Alvaro Quiros @ 130 Top 5 - Graeme McDowell @ 9.4 - Chris Wood @ 18 C'mon Rory Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Karabiner on July 15, 2010, 06:37:26 PM My fav bet of every year is in the Open but has been spoilt a little this time by one of the better golf tipping sites putting it up too. In the last 13 Open championships that both Els and Mickleson have played in Els has beaten Mickleson every time. I got a little 10/11 with an Aussie firm and a little 10/11 with a US frim but the best I can see now is 1.85 or 4/5 with Extrabet. Good shout Phil ;hattip; Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: chrisbruce on July 15, 2010, 09:13:14 PM Not a great start for my open picks but a long way to go.
Bradley Dredge and Lucas Glover both going ok though. added John Daly to the stable at 40-1 Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: ChipRich on July 15, 2010, 09:41:36 PM Ok, had a few small punts. Peter Hanson @ 200 -6 Thongchai Jaidee @ 400 Ricky Barnes @ 290 -4 Davis Love III @ 370 Villegas @ 100 -4 And e/w on: KJ Choi @ 100s e/w with Paddys. Cabrera @ 100s e/w, Paddys Ishikawa @ 125s e/w, Paddys -4 Updated picks^^^ Not bad, although obviously wish i was on the Rory boat as it looks like im the only 1 outa us lot that aint on him, sigh. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Hairydude on July 15, 2010, 09:46:18 PM I bet Rory early this morning at £10 each way on boyle sports thinking I was getting 8 places paid but just found out i'm only getting 6 since it was "in running" he hadnt even teed off ffs...surely he'll finish top 6 now though!
Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Chompy on July 16, 2010, 03:07:17 PM Is Oosthuizen not the safest trade of all time at 6.2?
Play suspended at the moment for strong winds. When they resume it's obv still gonna be blowing hard and scores are gonna go nuts. There's no way in a million years Oosty will drift by the end of the day. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's.

Agree, got on at 6.8 45 mins ago looking at laying off around 9-2, also added him to the portfolio by backing him ew first 4 with the books at a sim price.

Suits me, as I've had far more on than I first intended. Bring on the cricket scores please. Oh, and a bit of rain too wouldn't go amiss... Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Chompy on July 16, 2010, 04:00:39 PM There's yer 9-2 Nico, but I'd wait if I were you. I'm looking to hold for 3.8 or so.
Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: TheChipPrince on July 16, 2010, 04:18:31 PM Got £50 @ 6.2, cheers, into 4's now, think it'll keep dropping.

There's no way in a million years Oosty will drift by the end of the day. I fckd up so badly - backed him last night at 34 cos he was out early and took my profit at 23..... Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: david3103 on July 16, 2010, 04:59:22 PM Looking at the players who areat decent scores and holding it together - one of which is Marcel Siem who is currently 85 to back, but 110 to lay... I'm not a Betfair devotee - can anyone explain in simple terms why the disparity?
Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Scottish Dave on July 16, 2010, 06:06:09 PM Just added Nick Watney (-6) in running @ 85.0 to trade out
Also laid off Westwood @ 6.8 (backed @ 25.0) Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Scottish Dave on July 16, 2010, 06:16:45 PM Just discovered the Open iphone App!

Post by: ChipRich on July 17, 2010, 12:19:29 AM Ok, had a few small punts. Peter Hanson @ 200 -5 Ricky Barnes @ 290 -5 Villegas @ 100, sigh -1 And e/w on: KJ Choi @ 100s e/w with Paddys. Ishikawa @ 125s e/w, Paddys -3 Updated picks^^^ In play bets: Goosen -5 Watney -4 Could do with Oosthuizen dropping quite a few 2mo plzzz. Ricky was doing well early in the day today, upto -9, going into the back 9 then he fked it up. sigh nvvvm, lets gogogogo 2mo stable. Casey or Westwood wil probs win it (if Oosty loses the lead).Theyve been really consistent so far. Casey just messing up one hole which has cost him massively, (triple bogey i think it was) he was makin a run at the leader up til then. BH, Jones and Rooks set off a bit ago from here. Rooks car had some sort or problem on the way up here, comedy if they dont make it. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's.

Post by: Josedinho on July 17, 2010, 05:22:44 PM Don't think i have anyone in contention apart from Karlsson. Poulter played well for 2 days and never scored. Backed Monty at 530 and laid him at 300 before he started so that one didn't matter much.
Karlsson just made birdie. Got him at 80/1 ew 8 places so even a place would be nice Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Colchester Kev on July 17, 2010, 05:37:16 PM Anyone seen Rooks, Jones or Horner yet ?
Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: ACE2M on July 17, 2010, 05:48:26 PM karlson is my biggest hope left 10e/w at 100's only first 6 though.
watney could do something i suppose. Top amateur already landed to cover my stakes, thank you mr chapman. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's.

A great big sloppy wet kiss to Chompy for enabling me to set up an nice risk-free £100 riding on Oooooooooooosty tomorrow. Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: boldie on July 17, 2010, 09:17:07 PM Woods at 11-2 looks an EW cert @ St Andrews. Also a bit EW on Paul casey @ 45-1 and Rory @ 17-1 wiiiiiii Laid off Woods for a free roll so that's money back. Laid off Rory @7-2 to lock ina profit. And just laid off Casey @ 2-1 :) Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Chompy on July 17, 2010, 09:30:32 PM Loving my book here. Traded back the three I originally backed after day one, then went mad backing Oosty at around 6 (defo the best trade of the year bar none), before laying the lot off at around 4.
Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: LeKnave on July 18, 2010, 06:23:11 AM Sigh, every1 of my bets dead basically. Have a get out treble on watney, fowler and canizares to win their 2balls.
We will be perched behind the 18th green and first tee all day today, look out for horners hair! Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: buzzharvey22 on July 18, 2010, 06:55:13 AM apart from tiger i dont any of my bets made the cut..twats
Title: Re: The 139th Open Championship at St. Andrew's. Post by: Graham C on July 18, 2010, 12:35:50 PM Not great for my bets either. Going to have a bash at trading today, only small stuff cos I'm only practicing but aiming to get back my initial stake losses, hopefully it will be fun though

Post by: Horneris on July 19, 2010, 01:37:08 AM I've gone for: Then EW (7 places with Paddy Power): Sean O'Hair @ 80/1 - Joint 6th Nick Watney @ 100/1 - Joint 6th paiiiiiiiiiiiiii me by Dead Heat rules. I need to get bigalx on the job to get me paid in full. Was a good trip all in all. Saturday was shit. It was raining, all my players were sinking down the leaderboard and we were all knackered after driving up early (bad idea) Today was amazing, started on the grandstand behind the 1st betting props and seeing everyone on their way then finished the day on the grandstand at the 18th (obv) watching everyone come in and having mad prop bets in the sun. Was also nice to see Kaymer go bogey, bogey, bogey to get my players paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid. Not sure we will do it again next year, its a long drive and TV coverage is easier to track, but i enjoyed seeing Mickelson, Garcia, Mcilroy etc. in the flesh and being the only one in the stand not applauding Woods (i hate the guy). |
