Here are my 5 tips for Augusta starting nxt Thursday
Martin Laird 74/1 £2 on each player
Ernie Els 84/1
Charles Scwartchel 129/1
Hunter Mahan 33/1
Francesco Molinari 79/1
=£10 not bad for a weekend of extra interest
I normally back all europeans bu thought I,d mix it up a bit this year and go for some proven PGA tour players and had to back The Big Easy as i,d only kick myself if he won it and couldnt resist at 84/1
How Tiger can still be fav is laughable and although Phil mickleson likes this course i just don,t think the value is there in such a big field where the imo the top 50 are a lot closer than they used to be
GL all who have a bet
ps - wasn,t sure about putting Quiros in but i don,t think his short game and putting will get him through and 1 more bet I may look at is R Karlsson at 159/1 - Don,t think he,s fulfilled his full potential and as for Mcclroy - he,s to hit and miss - cant see him hold it tohethor for 4 days

I'm gonna do a UKJOE here:
I have one BIG bet that I have already placed. And two longer shots that I have already placed bets for.
Back to me now, I will probably post on Sunday night when I get a chance to do my usual little write up on each pick.
Off out on the p*** now. Have a good nite guys and gals.
Iv'e not even looked at the betting yet will wait to earl nxt week to have a proper look
justin rose @ 35's, he likes augusta and must hold a very decent chance
Having said that the odds may vary slightly depending on the current PGA tour event
For example F molinari had a nightmare round today and may drift slightly
i would advise getting the Racing post or looking at it in th bookies on Wednesday as all the prices from all the high st bookies will be in there - You can them compare them with Betfair
Ps - I,m not up to date with all this 3D stuff - Do i have to go out and buy the glasses and if so where do they sell them and andy idea how much they cost?
PPs - just seen Aaron Baddeley on the leaderboard again - He seems to be up there for most events and as the course is supposed to be similar in some ways to Augusta I will probably have 1 more bet on him
£1 E/w
My main pick for the Masters is Paul Casey @ 35/1. I feel this year will be the year when Casey wins his first major. He has only played 4 events on tour this season but managed top 20’s in 3 of them. He hasn’t played for a couple of weeks because he feels that the best preparation for this event is getting down to Augusta and getting in lots of practice. An important factor this week will be GIR and scrambling. Casey is currently 11th on tour in GIR, so gives himself plenty of birdie opportunities. Also, when he does miss the green, he is currently number 1 on tour this season in scrambling. If his putter is hot then this could be the time for the talented Englishman to break his major duck.
Two outside picks now:
Gary Woodland @ 175/1 has had a fine start to the season with 4 top 10’s and 1 win form 9 events. He hits it a bomb off the tee and is very confident with the putter. If he keeps the ball in play, he could go close this week.
Kevin Na @ 250/1 has one of the biggest ego’s on tour. He relishes playing in the big tournaments and would love to hit the big time by winning this week. He has a good putting stroke and is 14th on tour in scrambling, so will be confident around the greens.
I will have a couple more “special” bets before the tournament when the bookies put up these markets.
Good luck all.

if you can get evs or better on there being a hole in one over the 4 days take it.. there's always at least 1 as the par 3's aren't that long by today's standards.
