Is it too early to start greening out on the golf?

It depends who you are on and at what prices.

Player Odds Amount
Woods   10/1   25
Colsaerts   220   5
Rose   28/1   10
Furyk   33/1   5
Kuchar   28/1   10
McDowell e/w   80/1   10
Zhang   6/1   10
Harrington   80/1   10
Watney   140   5

I don't normally like to green out for someone I've bet at a decent price like McDowell or Colsaerts in your list until they are a single-figure price as I always like to give myself a chance of a decent win having picked a big-priced runner.

Colsaerts I might be looking to take some out @ 11 although I might save my stake @ 21, McDowell 9 perhaps, Tiger maybe save my stake @ 2.5.

I tend to save my stake for one or all of my runners with my first green-out if it's a big price, and then hope to get close to evens or odds-on to take a profit, leaving a decent amount for the win.

That's just roughly what I would be looking at, my style of playing BF if you like.

Why are they playing film noir jazz movie scores as background music on the golf?

No, £15 down, (I'll take that after our recent travails), Ashley Cole was Billy Let Down, he failed to get booked for the Banzai..

I think that's really interesting, Ralph, thanks.

You green out the good bets and are stuck with the bad bets.

Makes zero sense to me.

You back a player because you think he'll do well, why when he's doing well do you no longer want to be with him?

Woods can be laid @ 7
Colsaerts can be laid @ 140
Rose can be laid @ 34
Furyk  can be laid @ 55
Kuchar can be laid @ 44
McDowell can be laid @ 48

Slight mis-calculation earlier.

I'll be playing PLO8 on 'Stars later if anyone wants to take advantage.

With the time delay of pictures, you put up say, 2.8 Woods.

IF he plays a great shot you'll get matched. If if puts one in the heavy rough and looks like dropping a shot or two you won't get matched.

The only time I don't absolutely detest greening out on golf is between rounds when it's a level playing field.

[Dubai]

The only ones that are probably lays are the ones you wouldn't consider laying IMO- Watney and Harrington. You have the winner anyway in Mr Woods

Why do you say that?

Taking a few quid out of someone that you have bet in the win market @ 150 for instance is simply making it an EW bet.

If I bet £20 Colsaerts @ 150 for instance and then lay £50 @ 11, I still have £2500 for the win and some place money secured. I'm not going to lay @ 11 unless I think I've got the value which goes for any of my bets.

Who said anything about greening out in-running?

But it isn't one bet on Colsaerts is it?

You have a portfolio of bets, which is essentially one bet on one of your team to win.

You green out on your players who shorten, but if a player drifts you can't get out on him, can you?

Hence it devalues the value of your team as a whole.

But no-one watching TV would put up 2.8 if 2.82 is available to lay?
The time delay between shots means that TV coverage gives you plenty of time to make a decision.
You take the existing odds if you like them or you wait - you never post odds hoping to have them taken?

I'm VERY happy to be educated.

I feel for you Mr Tikay with your greening out conundrums. But it's a nice one to have.
