What a disaster! Said to the mrs on Weds, " I've a ten pound free bet off Paddy Power, so pick a golfer out". This was tactical, cos I knew I was in for some late nights, and if she had an interest the grief would be a little less. She picked out Simpson, cos, a) she knows I've won off him last year b) her surname is. . yes. . Simpson!! Alas, the ten pound free bet was infact meant for Paddy power games, so I couldn't us it for the golf. For some stupid reason for the sake of a tenner, I didn't bother backing him with my own money, even though I'd spent more than enough on my own picks. All weekend she was asking about his progress, and I kept saying he has a chance to keep her happy. Anyway this morning she is overjoyed and asking when will Mr Power be depositing the £800 in my account!! Big sigh. That was an expensive tournament!!

In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2012 Season. (US Open Week!) Years Profit: -£67.00 : It did all go wrong lol :-( Got a place on Furyk finishing tied 4th. It only returned around £29 from a £5 each way bet at 35/1. I was expecting more as it said top 6 pay a quarter of the odds. Any experts out there know if it is because he finished tied 4th and not 4th outright on his own??? Posted by wilco40
Just had a look at the results - I did my bet with Sky (EW on Dufner) who also finished in atie for 4th , but not even sure how many places Sky were paying, but there were quite a few on joint 4th ( which would have taken it past 6 players in your case) , hence why they have to cut down the odds a bit as there more than 6 in top four if that makes sense I only got about £13 or £14 from £2.50 EW on Dufner but happy with that as i don,t normally do EW om golf. My mate had macdowell (win only ) and that was after Poland let him down for an accumilater the other night and Russia let him down for all sorts of permitations. He,s now done a treble on Portugal, Germany from last night and England tommorow - Lets hope his luck changes soon
As this course always seems to give it up to a long odds home winner I have fgone really silly this week. Ben Crane at 150-1 Bill Haas 100-1 Tim Herron 500-1 and just in case not a big surprise Zach Johnson and Rickie Fowler Posted by vaigret
Thank goodness I had a nice bet on Webb simpson halway through the third round at 28-1
Isnt it funny how half knowledge helps you sometimes. To get a handle on the US open I did some background work to see who had done well there before hence my saying in an earlier post that all home winners and usually somebody off the radar.
whilst it didnt help me in my original bets when I saw webb simpson doing well half way through the third round I remebered from my investigation that he had won it before at Olympic. So I got him at 28-1.
IMAGINE MY SURPRISE THIS MORNING WHEN IT SAID HE WON IN ONLY HIS FIFTH MAJOR. ONLY PLAYED IN FIVE MAJORS INCLUDING WINNING IN 1998?!!! WOW I THOUGHT.
Then I checked and it was SCOTT WHO WON IN 1998. nothing like half truths to win you money LOL !!!!!!!
In Response to Re: Get in the Hole! 2012 Season. (US Open Week!) Years Profit: -£67.00 : It's because he finished tied 4th with 5 other people. If he was tied with 1 other person they are still both top 6 and you get a full payout, but as there was effectively 8 players in the top 6 then they divide the odds a bit. Posted by FlashFlush
Cheers Flash, I thought that was pretty much the case.
Oh joesman , sorry to hear your news. Let us know what the wife buys with her £800 Posted by vaigret
Ho ho ho Father. Worst bit is, she is looking forward to telling my fellow fogies at the Blackpool SPT this weekend how much of an expert she is lol. I limited the damage a bit by this morning declaring that it was only fair that I deducted my losses from her payout. I calculated that if I told her I had spent £200 on the event ( I wish) that would get me a 'look' and a "how much"? And not hurt her 'pay out' too much. Also she wants it in cash, and she's putting it towards the holiday spend funds. So I guess that's another saving for me. I must remember to ask her who she fancies for the British Open. . . .
open championship portfolio - first 2 in are Padraig and the Big Easy, both were on my mind anyway so good showings at the ultra tough Lake Course only enhanced their chances come July in my mind, 40's and 50/1 respectively.

phew sufaced too late from my cot to place bets on 1st round leader and no markets available at local bookie chappies. even the fact i printed his name was enough to scud Patrick Cantlay who is plus 4 thru 3!!! bullet most definately dodged.
given at time of writing 3 aussies are co leaders at minus 4 thru 9 each, might have a dabble on another for outright, aaron baddeley who can putt and when turns up can do it all very well, although there is the distinct possibility that this jackel and hyde character can also do it very 'baddeley' bom bom tsh. sorry couldnt resist.
Typical performance from Marcel Siem today. 6 birdies and an eagle, but 4 bogies to finish 4 under and -9 in total. Going to have a decent chance tomorrow as long as Chris Wood doesn't have an awsome back nine and gt to far ahead.
How does e/w doubles work? Do they need to both place top 5 or does it have to be 1 winner and 1 place (Or of course both win) Posted by FlashFlush
like any betting medium the win part and place part are seperate.
so if u had 4/1 shot and 12/1 shot 5 e/w double 1/4 odds and the 4/1 shot won but 12/1 shot came 3rd or whatever, then ud have your fiver place part goin on at evs and 3/1 (1/4 odds respectively) but win part would stand for nothing. and in golf youve then the dreaded reality of dead heats for those placing which will cut your winnings to shreads if a large amount tied

OK Cheers.
Does 1 have to win though, or do they both need to be top 5?

I only got about £13 or £14 from £2.50 EW on Dufner but happy with that as i don,t normally do EW om golf.
