There seem to have been some scoring adjustments
Robertson finished on+2 but still misses the cut
Poulter fiished at +1 and continues
Decision to back against Gow backfired and gave back the money I won by opposing Parnevik on day 1
72 hole plays Cejka won but Farry lost at the cut happily...
Woke up just in time to watch Wang hole a 3 footer at the 18th to win the 3ball bet by 1
In the match plays Cejka 2 up
Parsons/Marksaeng all square
Farry well down on Rocca
Just one little point to note
Hills go 20-1 Magee/haas
Other firms vary from 8 to 12's
So in a limited field ew 1/4 1,2,3 there is some value there
Personally I'll have a little bit on for fun
Have decided to play against Parnevik
I will ignore the "beware the injured golfer" line and to small stakes take Senior at 5-2 Sportingbet
Wang at 7-2 Simonbold

I wouldn't worry about the 77 that Prayad Marksaeng shot in the final round last week the weather turned very cold and windy and Cejka was the the only player who shot a good final round
Not playing on the outrights as I have vowed not to and just concentrate on match bets as this is...
Anybody with any views on this event apart from leave it well alone.....
Only plenty of bookies over here are pricing it up and was wondering with it being a limited field if anyone knew anything about it
Two early plays
Farry -125 over Rocca Sportingbet
Maarksaeng (or something like that) -110 over Parsons Firststake

Just seen your ratings -
Quick question Brett Ogle rated no 2 behind Tiger???
Am I missing something I thought he was commentating ?
Quick message
If you are having a bet shop around for the best prices or wait til January when the players' itineraries are known
Garcia varies from 12-1 (1/5 1,2,3) to 50-1 (1/4 1,2,3,4) which is an alarming variation of opinion
Field is very weak for this event
I don't feel Tiger will play to his best - not that he would have to, but the disappointment of the last 2 weeks and the general tiredness he must be feeling I would not back him.
Two players to note are Cejka who often plays well in this event and flew out...
Stan
I would love to say yes I did but I didn't really think he would make the top 5
But altogether it was very entertaining and a fairly profitable end to the season
Westwood 16-1 2nd
Luckily Woods' bogey at the last brought the plays on Price 50-1 and Harrington 33-1 back to life for a...

Thanks for that I have only just opened an account with them and was not aware of that
Important lesson always read the smallprint,glad I didn't have a bet although I still think there was a bit of value even for the remainder of the tournament
On a note of interest I know I don't play them but OLY have got Westwood at +150
over Monty today I would say it is a lot closer than that
Any one who saw Montys round will note he holed from the fairway for one eagle and had a hole in one for another after last weeks hole in one how much luck...

Days like today happen for a reason - usually to teach us the reason why bookmakers are in existence and why very very few ever go bust.
Simonbold either got it totally wrong today or took a very bold (excuse the pun) viewpoint
and they happened to come out very well
Anyway anything that...
I know that everyone will disagree with me but todays 18 hole results convinced me even more that this sort of bet is too unpredictable
I was lucky in that I bet the Woods match to 86.76% and Westwoods to 68.47% (including the tie)
Stan I hope you managed to get that scalp I sent you last night...
Stan
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Simonbold will definitely still be in business
Tiger loses
Weswood bogeys 17 and finishes level with Calc
Amazingly Monty also 4 putts on 17 from 10 feet
Els apparently hurt his back at the airport on Sunday trying to get his luggage out of the car and his been undergoing treatment ever since.He was told on Monday by his physio he would probably not be able to play
Money on Tiger is probably lost one shot down on the 17th he just put it in the...
