Speith into 9/4 best odds anyone else find that really short? Early days yet

Hope all your bets are going well lads. Mine certainly aren't!! For the superstitious among you I just noticed there whilst doing a bit of research that for the last 4 years the overall winner of the Masters shot a 69 in their opening round. 4 players shot a 69 yesterday; Ryan Palmer, Paul Casey, Webb Simpson and Bill Haas.
Which of them 4 players has the most realistic chance of wearing the green jacket on Sunday evening?

I've Haas backed @ 90's so liking your thinking!
any interest in Scott @ 50's now?

Took a punt on Sergio now wondering whether to persevere or cash out for double my initial stake, would be a little green if he did it though I still think there are big titles in him.

See how he gets on in the first 9 today and judge from there?

wrestling with the same thoughts. He missed some easy putts yesterday so I'm having familiar doubts over him.

I think he has settles over the past few months but it's hard to be overly confident.

Looks like tomorrow will be Betting W/O Speith

Half Rhodesian

whats going on with jason day? shocking off the tee... shocking all round

I'm kicking myself for not backing Spieth, I remember backing him a couple of times last year.

redzerdrog

Hopefully get decent odds on Rory over the coming weeks now. He looks undercooked here to me

tomaussie

All over bar the shouting ?

Looks like a runaway winner.

Wrapped up within two days. Huge anticlimax.

Still plenty of place money to play for.

Forgot to mention I backed Justin Rose each way earlier don't think it after timing as he is now a bigger price than when I backed him

Rjd2

Backed Stenson at 6/1 to miss the cut. :(:(

Mezcita

Kaymer lost at when he was 1.2 at the Abu Dhabi Championship in January.

The fact that Speith is still 1.6 suggests it's far from over yet.

Spieth, Reed, Garcia, Sang Moon Bae, Casey and Lahiri.

Good luck everyone.

Spieth and Casey doing what I wanted. Garcia and Reed need to go low today. Also took Tiger before play started so I've got plenty of interest for the weekend.

OffalyMedic

Speith doing what i wanted. Schwartzl could do with being a couple under par today again. As for Stenson and Fowler I need them to go low low for next 2 days, they have the golf to do it but doubt they will at this stage.

Stuck a couple of quid on Haas this morning e/w at 100/1

Shanotheslayer

Only Speith looking good for me. Bubba/Poulter/Walker require a massive 2 days. If Bubba can get 4 or 5 under today could be in with contention.Backed Caberea WO Speith E/W at 50/1

Should I keep Speith or cash out? Am feeling nervous

Do you still get the each way odds if a few golfers finish on same score ?

One of the nastier parts of golf betting yes you do but it's reduced by the amount sharing that score so 1/2 for 2, 1/3 for 3 and so on horrible stuff

montyrebel

counts as a dead heat in a horse race, lower returns etc

threeball

What odds would you get on speith winning all 4 majors before mcilroy?

So if they pay top 6 , and your golfer finshes 3 rd on his own , it's better than 3 people finishing 2nd ?

Shane St.

Might back Mickelson if he finishes only 4 back. Experience has to come into it

I think you would only get 1/4 of what you should horrible when it happens

No, if your bet 'places' then the odds are divided according to the original ratio, usually 1/4 so a 40:1 bet at €1 ew would return about €11 if placed and not a win.

Yeah it only matters If theres more dead heated than the amount of places paid out and in golf it happens quite often
