    "Oli Bell, Dave Ord, Michael Shinners".....?

    Not heard of them myself, so I suppose if Neil has a handicap it's probably those three. heehee :)

    I used to play a bit of golf myself but I have never put a bet on it & on the other side of the coin, I have never rode a horse, but like to have a dabble betting on that.....strange that.

    I wonder, how many sports we do, but don't have a bet on & how many sports we don't do, but do have a bet on? or am I alone here?

    Seams quite odd that I am happy to bet on something I have never done & don't bet on something I do.

    I dont know a great deal about Golf, I only really watch the final round of the majors and the Ryder Cup but I think there must be some value in Lee Westwood @ 125/1, especially with 8 places being paid?

    Am I wrong? Has he lost it?

     I sadly think he may have lost it, plus he just got married and seems to have spent a fair bit of time at Cheltenham and getting drunk.

     He does play incredibly well here though and the course knowledge will help him just to rock up and play.

     Maybe a top 20 bet.

    Willet has to be a good EW bet man in form and fight for a ryder cup place 55/1

    But hope Rory can do it

    I have gone for:

    Reed
    Koepka
    Lowry 
    Westwood 

    all E/W

    thought the top 8 made these guys good value

    I have not checked any oher betting sites yet but you used to be able to get the top 10 on e/w betting in the Masters.
    Scrub that - I have just had a look and most are only paying 6 places.
    Maybe in the past they all got burnt giving 10 places.

    Any way...........none of you seem to have actually mentioned the probable winner Jordan Spieth

    He is still a little under the radar because he is young, but if you watch golf - not only is he brilliant he has that extra talent (or gift) you need to win majors Like Tiger Woods could.

    You can get 10/1 with SKY BET just now (that's a sure fire return if you bet e/w) and you will not get anything like that after the first round.

    Such is my confidence in him wnning - I have punted a bit more than I ever have before on a golf tournament. (mind you, I am playing with the 'bookies brass' as they say - Spieth owes me nowt as I have won with him before)

    When I said under the radar, I meant you can still get good odds on Spieth over here.
    Despite the fact he has won it before.
    10 to 1 were great odds and look where he is after day one.

    15/8 now

    1 shot lead going into the final round with all the 'good un's' falling away.
    Could be a late night tonight.

    I am counting on Spieth winning to rescue what has been a terrible weekend.

    McIlroy sneaking into the top 8 would help somewhat too

    Sky are paying 8 places. Does this mean a player who finishes in tied 8th, or is it the first 8 names on the leaderboard?

    Hi Waller

    You get 1/4 odds if they are 8th by themselves.

    If theres 2 tied for 8th then its 1/8th of the odds

    If there 4 then its 1/16th and so on, I think it works like this.

    Better getting 6th or 7th just to make sure Come on RORY and Willet

    Of course halving or quartering the odds is the same thing as halving or quartering your stake.

    But as a golf bet novice myself what I'd like to know is how it would settle if say your selection is tied 6th with 4 other players? Would it be 3/5 as 6,7,8 pay and 9,10 don't?
