I just 20 quid on him E/W at 80/1, still pretty good for a guy one shot off the lead. You'd think...

Not so much now. Put a bit on Niebrugge E/W at 300/1 or something a few minutes ago. What was Einstein's definition of insanity again...

Dont really like backing in play as I usually just a before tournement guy.

But put 2 small bets on
Zach Johnson 2euro ew 35/1
Goosen 1e ew at 80/1

1/4 3 places

Will take that.

2 winners and a place this weekend and Justin Rose tied with 100 others means I can afford a 2euro cheese burger in McDonalds

From now on, back small, win more.

Hope everyone had some good fortune anyway.

Damn it Louis!! Congrats to Zach backers. Nice win. Made a loss myself due to going heavy on dustin. Rubbish! Be awhile before i forgive him!

Had a bit of a stinker. Had DJ and Scott who inexplicably didn't even place after playing the last five holes in +5 and double bogeying the last. Also had Stenson and Kaymar who played well the last few days but left himself too much to do

Raging about Oosthuizen

Hi all,

Question about dead heat rules in golf,

I'd Oosthuizen backed e/w and my bookies (Betway) are telling me dead heat rules apply because he dead heated for 2nd??

It was e/w 1-4, I get that Day and Speith on joint 4th would be dead heat rules aright but surely joint 2nd with one other player is top 4?

Are they scamming me??

Cheers

Unless they were only paying the top two places then the dead heat rule should not apply there. Should receive the full 25% payout.

Thanks for the reply, ya that's what I think..
if they're paying dead heat rules on all of Oosty ,Leishman ,Day, Speith it would mean they're only really paying out 3 places..

Johnson speith day leishman and oousty occupied 5 places. So yea dead heat rules apply i think. Edit: no it wont because ousty came T2

Yeah but obviously the poster shouldn't be affected as Oost finished tied 2nd. If he had Speith or Day, then yeah his payout would be halved.

The only thing that could have happened is that the each way stakes weren't as you thought when you placed the bet. Otherwise if you had e/w 1-4, they are in the wrong.

Can't be right at all

Ok I had Willett 5e.w @ 80/1 Paying Top 6, so he finished Tied 6th with 3 others anyone know what I should be paid for that? I actually think I got more than I should have or I don't actually understand the rules properly.

As above
1/4 your place stake X full place odds
1.25 X 20

Yea Lads I dunno what's going on, It was a freebet I used to do the bet so my stake wasn't included in the returns but for some reason I got 47.50 which I guess would have been 52.50 if my stake was due back. I withdrew it anyway so that should be the end of it but I'm still confused.

Yes. It is not a dead heat. My bookie payed the full 1/4 odds at my place price. i.e. €20 e/w @ 22/1. €20 * (22/4) = €110 + €20(place) = €130

Getting frustrated again.

My bets have finished second for the last two weeks.

If I don't get any joy soon I'll pack it in for a few months.

Charlie Hoffman at 50's in Canada and Danny Willet at 14's in Europe.
