Have stuck a few pins in various places for a few quid and a bit of interest. Can't remember who I've got in total, but suffice to say I've never really heard of some of them. Yang, Laird, Casey, some random Korean, some bloke called Kevin and a few more.
Anyway, general question though for those of you who know what you're doing: would you rather have one quarter the odds on an each way bet paying six places, or an outright bet on a top five finish (ties paid in full) at one fifth of the odds to win?
To hopefully make that a bit clearer... Some guy is 100-1 to win. Bet each way at 100-1 paying six places? Or bet on the 'top five' market at 20-1?
I guess overall it doesn't make much difference, but maybe it depends how long their odds are - ie how likely they are to actually win it? Presumably lots of guys at long odds are much more likely to come fifth than first - whereas players at shorter odds are maybe as likely to win as they are to come fifth?
Very interesting qstn. To be honest it all depends if u think yr selection is value at the win part of the bet or not. If so then by all means embrace that top 6 ew bet which will give you 25-1 on the place rather than the 20s you mention. If yr just after the place part get on that speciality bet at slightly inferior odds imo. Personally wld feel sick if i backed some1 to place and they won, but im greedy. Yeah thanks for that, that's kind of what I was wondering. I guess finish distributions of the top players are likely to be quite different to those of the also-rans, so wondering whether there may be a cut-off somewhere where the win part of the bet stops being any value. Also the fact that the top five bet pays out ties in full - in a low-scoring tournament like the US Open I imagine it's more likely than normal that several players could be tied for fifth? Though that's just a guess, maybe you actually end up with the field strung out in the same way, only with lower scores. Dunno. Good luck all anyway. |

I'm not exactly sure how, but I just laid Manassero @ 60 although he's +2 and now have a freeroll.
Probably a rick unless he's just holed something.

Anyone else getting slightly tilted by Monty's commentating. After a day of Willie Carson who would be a certainty if there was a "sports idiot of the year" award I can't take much more!!

He's dreadful. The only positive for me is that he makes Murray slightly more palatable. I've been waiting all day hoping they were going to switch to The Golf Channel. |

I like Monty.
Sergio has teased me like a bird on a night out flirting with coming home with me and winning R1 leader and then not even giving the kiss goodnight of the place money...
