What a story a Marcel Siem win would make. Won last week, people were saying he had done enough to get in the top 50 world rankings for qualification into The Masters, he eventually finished 51st missing out by 0.3 points. Then traveled to the States on Monday thanks to a late sponsors invitation. Has to win to get in The Masters and is now one off the lead with & to play, come on Marcel! Posted by TheDart
Next hole and he gets a triple bogey:(
I told you this messageboard is jinxed, jinxed I tell you!!!

lol,this is why I stopped posting my picks.Had 4 winners since I stopped:)
(although probably will for the Masters cos do miss it)
I was on Billy Horschel ew at 66/1, no complaints really as that was an incredible performance by Martin Laird.
I'll post my ante post bets on The Masters tomorrow.
With Tiger and Rory hitting form, I think any further bets I have will be in a without the favourites market or at least a bookmaker paying first 6 places.
Wd Dart. Also yay wd Rory. With him hitting a bit of form Tiger gonna drift a bit. P Power already pushed him out to 4/1. So u can now back him ew with them knowing as long as he is in the top 6 u get your money back. Last 2 years he has played (2010/2011) whilst out of form/injured he has still managed a top 6 at Augusta. He is defo my main pick on those terms. Also backing Dustin Johnson + 1 other in the w/o Woods market when it's up. Hanson Top European (got a feeling Americans will dominate this week, so that's why I'm going that route with him). Then il look at the Top Debutant market. One other thing, there are always quite a few soft 3 ball matches due to ex winners, special invites, etc etc, so I'll be looking closely at them.

(Valero Texas Open) Year Profit: -31.19pts: [QUOTE]i did say the last i checked and yes, the pplace (2 ps a clue) was where he was 100's only last week and i did see after i put this up he is now 80's top price across the board as well as 66/1 in places so have missed the boat somewhat but still very backable at 80/1 . any1 know how these twitter special bets work on skybet?? do u just tweet requesting a specially designed bet then they price it up for you and lay it? id like stenson and hanson top 5 finish incl ties. they go keegster and ricky 80/1 same bet so id be looking closer to 200 odd for my shout that would be lovely tbh maybe all the regulars on here should have a bash and see if skybet will lay them? the stenson/hanson top 5 one would be mine for sure Posted by BELL_POKER
Still 100/1 with youwin.com.....not a company I currently have an account with (or really even heard of) but oddschecker.com now show there odds so look reliable.
Does anyone use 'youwin'? I've seen them on oddschecker befoe and they seem to always have the best odds, and sometimes by a huge margin, wasn't sure if they have some qwerky little small print thing going on.
I wasn't sure whether to back Hanson after he shot +6 on Saturday!! But he had a good round yesterday and think he shot a 4 or 5 under. So I'm tempted to go with him again for e/w value. As I've said before Louis is my main pick this week, 2nd last year, has the game for Augusta and is just starting to come back to form at the right time. Will probably put a bit of Johnson as well, and he seems to be getting tipped a lot, the only trouble with him, is Augusta needs good scrambling skills, and he ummm well doesn't have any!

Not used them myself or looked at them in any great depth, though I think the small print or the big difference is, you can only back 'win' no ew options with Youwin and a few others like them.
Flash I noticed Hanson is 66/1 without Woods with one bookmaker this morning, might be worth considering?
As Joesman1 said very difficult to see Woods not finishing top 5, so on that presumption you are backing Hanson ew 6 places and if he managed to finish 2nd to Woods, you are getting a 66/1 winner!
I tend to approach the majors by building up a 'portfolio' of players, the theory being if I get it right with the ante post bets it gives me the opportunity to 'spread' my money a little further.
All ew first 5, I'm on:
Dustin Johnson - 40/1 Brandt Snedeker - 66/1 Graeme Mcdowell - 66/1 Henrik Stenson - 80/1 Peter Hansosn - 100/1
I'm waiting to strike on Nick Watney, he's drifting at the moment and this morning has been pushed out to 60/1 by a few bookmakers, I'm waiting for a minimum of 66/1 and / or ew 6 places and also hoping to find 50/1 in a without Woods market.
Then I will be adding to my list as the urge takes me.
Bets I've done so far for the Masters, don't want to do too many so this might be all of them...
1st round leader
Bill Haas: 60/1 - I wouldn't back him to win the whole thing, but he is a player that can really get birdie runs going, so if he does that in the 1st round 60/1 could be a steal.
Louis Oosthuizen 28/1 - Originally was meant to be a bet w/o Woods/McIlroy or Mickelson, but I put him as 1st round leader by accident...
W/O Woods, Mcilroy or Mickelson
Hanson - 40/1 - Just needs to not put in 1 of his bad rounds like he did Saturday and he could be up there.
Outright
Louis Oosthuizen - 28/1 - Got the game for it, coming back into form, just needs to go 1 better than last year.
Peter Hanson - 80/1 - Same as what I wrote above
Dustin Johnson - 33/1 - Certainly has the power to make the approach shots a little easier, his scrambling worries me if he does miss, but hopefully he won't have to use that part of his game too much!
I don't quite understand why last years winner, Watson should be friendless and out to 40/1, his form this season isn't bad and quite comparable to his results leading up to last years Masters.
On the other hand you've got last years runner up Oosthuizen at a best price 28/1?
I agree Oosthuizen has all the credentials to win a green jacket, but his form has been far from spectacular this year, though I also agree with Flash that he could well be coming into form at the right time, but why shorter than Watson?
Is it down to the support of Flash's money or am I missing something?
Anyway I've backed Bubba Watson ew at 33/1 without Tiger Woods.
Although Bubba has won the Masters, and has a good world ranking I think he is still under-rated due to his 'homemade' swing. I think a lot of people saw his win as a fairytale win. His huge draws and fades make him look very unreliable, but he actually is pretty accurate off the tee for his length. He has just as much chance as anyone else, but how often do you see players win a certain major 2 years running? The likes of Woods, Jack Nickolas etc.. I wouldn't put Bubba in that category yet!
He is going to have a lot of media work/pressure to deal with this week, which he didn't have last year, and that could well be a factor.
I may tickle kevin streelman and cink for 1st round but my main ones r most def van pelt, hanson and stenson
Thanks for the heads up on the firm paying 100/1 I'd noticed them also but readily discounted on the basis I need another online betting account like I need a hole on the head!
Waiting on the par 3 odds also I'll have a little tickle in That
Must admit I'm gettin pretty excited about it now!! The open, the masters and the players in that order for me!! Really hard to beat

I told you this messageboard is jinxed, jinxed I tell you!!!
Still going to be a great finish, as Bell said fair play to Laird, he's given himself a great chance.
I have one player still in the running but as stated on Friday morning I'm not naming him to save him from the messageboard jinx!
Also, I suppose Padraig still has an outside chance of top 5.
I'll post my ante post bets on The Masters tomorrow.
With Tiger and Rory hitting form, I think any further bets I have will be in a without the favourites market or at least a bookmaker paying first 6 places.
