Thought i would get some bets on early as last time i started  athread - my bet camme up in  Swartchel 

Gary Woodland  319/1   £3 win  - he always gets mentioned on here so thougt value

Reitef Goosen  £2 80/1

John Daly lol - He was 479/1  £2 to win _ He always enjoys the Opens and could easily shoot  a leading  score on Day 1

Phill Mickleson £3 at 36/1 - always value watchin him


I,m going to keep my eye on Tigers price - currently 20/1

    I haven't had a bet yet, but I think McIlroy could do a double. He is in sensational form and always performs in the big ones.

    The bets I am likely to take are...

    £20 win McIlroy @ 6/1
    £5 e/w Jason Day @ 33/1

    st georges is a quirky undulating course where the bounce of the ball will have a big say in who wins.

    2003 ben curtis complete unknown won there.

    Hard to pick a winner but not a bad shout to back some long shots as the course is a big leveller.

    Certainly can,t wright him off . Will be interesting to see what he does in the meantime.

    He,s been partying a bit recently and started hanging out with the celebs - Just hope he keeps his focus on the golf

    Managed to get £3.40 on Tiger at 23-1

    John Mcenroe laughed today when they siad everyone was comparing him to Tiger Woods.  He reminded everyone Tiger has won 14 or whatever it is masters titles and I certainly think he,s not won his last

    Considering he used to be 9/4  5/2 at the start of tourneys less than a cpl of years ago I think he,s deffo worth a bet

    Ok done my bets here. With Rose and Day e/w is paying down to 7 places :). Schwartzel bet pays 5 places, but if he misses cut within 3 shots, i get my stake back as a free bet.

    Some nice offers out there this week for the Open, so check 'em out.

    Good luck to you all.

    I live just down the road from him, and i can tell ya, it may look like he's been partying for Britain in the last weeks, but you couldn't be further from the truth! He played the actual competition course twice on Thursday and friday when all the rest were playing the scottish open, he's doing everything right ATM and he will be prepared. Currently he is so far ahead of the others and i really cant see him losing if he keeps his head, his past failures are always due to having 1 horrendous round, next to the course record, the only thing that puts me off is the price, 6-1 is really miserly. Tiger Woods is out of the competition ive heard, but he is playing rubbish anyway ATM, he's not ranked outside the top 20 for nothing, my 2 other bets would be westwood and Donald, but i really cannot see beyond McIlroy for this. As for Mcenroe laughing when they compared Rory to Tiger, he was right, he isnt as good as Tiger, he's actually better at 22 than Tiger was at 22 and in 5 years everyone will know this as fact and he still has a lot to learn, but he could become one of the greatest ever and thats no exaggeration.

    In the end I've gone for...

    McIlroy £20 win @ 6/1
    Westwood £20 win @ 8/1
    Jason Day £10 e/w @ 28/1

    *sigh* Just seen all those odds have got bigger since I backed them last week :-(

    have backed the home win

    mcilroy @ 8/1 £10 win
    westwood @ 12/1 £10 win
    donald @12/1 £10 win

    not sure about donald having won last week but since it was only 54 holes i think he'll still have plenty of gas in the tank.

    be lucky.

    ^^^^ bit of encouragement for Colsfarts fans.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Going mad this week, doubling my stake to a tenner !!!!!

    £2 e/w  - Cabrera - 75/1

    £1.50 e/w - Y.E Yang - 90/1

    £1 e/w - Thorbjorn Olesen - 250/1

    50p e/w - Mark O'Mera - 1,000/1


    They will probably finish 1,2,3,4 but I'm not sure in which order, so gonna save money on the Quadcast.

    Having been one bad round off romping the last two majors I'm struggling to see past McIlroy. If I can get get 8/1 that should just about be value.

    Poulter might be value at about 50s too.

    Already on Ryo Ishikawa at an eye watering 379/1.

    I was at a wedding recently in NI and a mate pointed his house out (between N'ards & C omber IIRC) There was a golf course in the front "garden"!!

    My picks are..
    Choi - 40/1 £10
    Goosen - 40/1 £10 &
    Streelman - 300/1 £10

    Backed a few outsiders(too many to mention)for silly little stakes and 4 with a chance so to speak.

    Matt Kuchar@40/1
    Ross Fisher@70/1
    Justin Rose@50/1
    Robert Karlsson@66/1

    IMO no point me backing the top three in the market as prices too skinny considering they have 1 major between them even though they are the 3 best players in the world on current form.Especially as the conditions are going to prove a pivotal part in who lifts the trophy come sunday evening.Whatever happens cant wait till the start.

    GL all

    Right, I have taken your advice and had a £5 win outright on him @8/1
    And £5 place in the first 5 @1.75/1
    Makes sense?

    I dont understand this? i had £5 EW, total cost £10 at 8-1, so if he wins i get £60 (£50 profit) and if he gets 2nd-6th i get £15  (£5 profit)

    You pay £5 win outright at 8-1 like me but £5 @ 1.75/1 EW, not my 2/1 (1/4 odds@8/1) if he in the top 5 not the top 6 like me, all on skybet?

    If you want a live outsider for the open Darren Clarke at 175/1 is worth a shout.  One of the best players in the wind around.  Dont write off Sergio either.

    These are my 1st round leader bets

    G Woodland - £1.50 EW at 1501
    S dyson     £1 EW at 125/1
    K.J Choi     £1 at 45/1
    J Daly        £1 ew at 300/1
    F Jacobsen  £1.50 Ew at 661

    cant beleive i backed Daly at 470/1 outright as he,s now 1000/1

    I always go overboard with The Open but my main bets are Donald, Goosen, Mannesero ,both the Hansens , Overton (hits the ball low ), Mickleson , K J Choi , W Simpson , Daly , Storm and Stricker - about half the field basically

    I missed that one - I,ve got him EW for 1st round leader - top 5 , but bogyi n h the last didnt help

    Just put £2.35 on Andrew johnston at 15001 on Sky- He,s in the lst group, an englishman - the conditions will be as best they,ve been all day and hes got the advantage of watching it on tele to see how its playing

    A more sensible bet would be to back him on the 3ball as he,s playing with a chink and a no mark american

    One tip I would give is A baddely in the 3 ball tommorow

    He,s playing with paul Casey who has lost his confidence and has personal problems of the course and Ben Curtis who,s kak . The guy on Baddelys bag though was  Ben Curtis caddy when he won it at this course
