Jesus the odds really dropped when the lads gave their predictions last night on sky! I take it Paddy was watching

This talk of Rahm as a chance is nuts - I'll never bet again on the Masters if Rahm wins - if he makes the cut fair play - top 20 outstanding.

I have him as an each way bet.....

....along with Fowler, Leishman, Westwood and Fleetwood.

....with Leishman to be leading after round #1

....currently mulling over Pieters.

the lawman

I have 18 golfers backed at a total cost of €135.

I also have a bet from last year on Thomas Pieters winning a major this year at 50/1. Have €20 on that.

So a Pieters win and 6 of my lads in the top 7 and I'm getting double quilted andrex rather than SuperValu own brand.

Loafing Oaf

A few small longshot bets: Leishman & Oosthuizen outright, Haas top American, Kjeldsen top 5.

benny79

I have Ross Fisher e/w @110/1 and Fowler to win @20/1. I really think its Rory's year though but theirs no valve at 7/1 unless you are going to lump on.. But his odds might go up when he's a couple of shots behind after round 1 or 2

paintitblack

Went for
Day(18/1) and Scott(35/1) to win.
Knox(200/1) Reed(80/1) and Haas(80/1) e/w
Looking forward to it now, will probably place a couple more bets after the second round.

i don't like mcilroy, but backed him after dj injured himself,
still fancy pieters to do well and have him backed too though

One minute you reckon McIlroy will miss the cut then because DJ is injured he not only has a chance of making the cut, but he is in the hunt to win!

FixdePitchmark

Put a decent amount on Rory .
I think you are well insured each way on him .
So sort of a free bet on win.

Probably too much heart in above bet .

Spieth all day over Rory here you'd imagine ?

Small bets on (all each way)
Spieth again imagine your well covered with a place

Well not a minute, i think it's a day or so but thanks for the voyeurism !
But yes i do, i think Mcilroys issues are mental, never technique he's the most talented out there.

Seve OB

I've backed Schwartzel E/W and Fitzpartick on the exchange to win and will look to cash out at some stage on him to leave me with a free bet

Judging by all your bets am I the only one that was mad enough to do a 15 euro each way bet on garcia last week? he was 50/1 skybet.

Put 10 win on jay day i always do at the masters and an outside 10 win on Bubba.

Yes - he is just not good enough on the greens here. Sure he ruled himself out of ever winning here himself a few years ago.

FixdePitchmark

Rory 9/1 after his start.

Get on it e/w

Well the e/w is probably down big time to x places now ?

FixdePitchmark

Jaysus - amazing how odds are changing with paddy power - after a player has a bad hole.

Spieth 10/1

tbayers

It was a quadruple bogey in fariness

he went to 22/1 after that.

But that was a great bet at that time - so dropped quick , got a bird now back to 14/1

FixdePitchmark

John Rahm - Fav for masters.

As 5 time major champ posts 1 under.

Tilikum

Goona do Spieth today.

AnneFrank

If the wind is the same as yesterday, the guys out early should have a chance to get a good number up,
Mcilroy did well to fight back in fairness to him, but what a round from hoffman, westwood too on the back nine in that wind, i don't have sky, what was harrington like as a commentator ?

FixdePitchmark

Only good value there at the moment is Phil 14/1 (E/W) - IMO ?

Willet 100/1 is interesting.

Agree... hence was I was waiting for odds to go up on Mcilroy today,but no they went down he's 7 shots behind and still favourite at 11/2! No flies on our paddy! :rolleyes:

I've money on Rory.

But when his odds went up - he was a great bet on front 9.

Oh I agree totally.. I was watching them all Night but unfortunately Paddys was closed and I dont have an online account (Thank god ..lol..)

But 7 shots behind I was expecting at least 10/1+ even this morning..

I just had a look there even though i already have a load of bets !
Ernie Els is 200 to 1 at level par, i know his putting is shocking at the moment
but still, with the conditions it could be an old head that prevails

Conditions improving for weekend, some wind today but not like Thursday. Sat and Sun are sunny and calm. Expect serious movement on the leaderboard and greens to get very fast!!!:D

I know Ernie is not that old.

But part of these events is stamina - you find many of the older guys fade as the holes go up.

Fella said to me yesterday that they throw a few quid in a pot together and put a load of bets on. Personally I don't get that, just stick with your own bets and that way you can't be blamed for anything or pass the blame to anyone.

Anyway, he goes on to tell me they saw Woosnam in at 2,500/1 so he was worth a €5 e/w. I told him he may as well of chucked the tenner in the bin and his logic was to compare it to Leicester!

Some people just shouldn't be allowed near a bookie!

All these old lads are grand for a day or two,

But just off the top of the head who has held on.

Langer
Watson
Ells was great at open..

Has Feddie even lasted till sunday ?

Any others ?

Rikand

I put 20 cent e/w on Sandy lyle

He was my favourite golfer growing up, so I always back him.... small, for sentimentality and you know, maybe, just maybe

Did anyone do Hoffman this morning?.

I was surprised to see he was still 40-1 considering he had a sizeable lead.

Ok I get it, there was 3 rounds left and he could easily have fallen away bu the end of today but even a par today could see him with a few shot lead into the weekend.

Fred Couples seems to be having a nice day out so far (-2 on 4th). Not too long ago was 500/1, now around 50/1.

4068ac1elhodqr

-3 on 5th, Joint 3rd. Watch the prices collapse if Fred continues like that. @34/41 starting to appear and just 4places.

Im on fowler and rose still in contention. had knox, grillo and lowry aswell.

Threw a couple of quid on Justin Thomas E/W at 40 and Kaymer E/W at 150. Liking the look of the latter now though. Excellent round today and has history of grinding out a win in trying conditions.

Well I think they'll all make the cut but 'longshot' is definitely the mot juste...

He has a horrendous record around Augusta tough. Hence his huge price from the start. Never finished inside the top 30 in the last 10 or so years

Pieters wins this I'm taking €1300 off PP. Make it so.
