No Tiger Woods

July 14th - July 17th

it really does suck to not have Tiger in there for short term entertainment and betting prop purposes


but it helps the game move on and evolve without him

Yap.

 

[Archie]

but I do miss BETTING against Tiger and ROOTING against Tiger

and that has nothing to do with his public issues. I actually stopped betting against him and started rooting FOR him when he first came back last summer.

I think its ridiculous that he gets judged for getting alot of trim, when half the pro athaletes are out there doing it too. He just got way more than them, and picked mouthy bitches

Rory is great for golf, I just wonder if he has Tigers killer instinct. Tiger wouldn't just beat people he would humiliate them. I am looking at maybe Westwood or an American like Phil or Bubba watson. Probably more head to head wagering than any futures.

i expect a euro tour player to win

Stricker maybe?

I was surprised to see Y.E. Yang at such a high price actually...

I guy who never won a major before will win this. It's always some unknown who wins the BO.

Time for some young Americans to step up and win a major for once. Phil sucks at the British, one top 10 in his career. Westwood is probably a good pick if McIlroy doesn't kill everyone again.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Offshore and Vegas are completely different in their offerings on the British Open.

I don't see numbers for McIlroy, Yang, or Stricker at any of the major offshores. WTF.

 

[Tron]

Yeah I like Westwood too this year.

 

[Saulty]

Jason Day 30 to 1 is my pick.

 

[Tron]

Oooooo that is a nice one, Pavy

are you looking at this weeks scottish open?

greek, 5dimes, betfair and all the euros all have odds for all of them

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

MGM has John Daly at 200/1. LOL.

You are probably right about looking at Stricker , he may actually be the best American on the list. The more I look at Phils bad year and poor showings at the British, and Bubba Watson's results in Europe, Watson seems to hate the euorpean tour.

The more I look at these guys, the less I like the Americans chances overall. Maybe Watney might be worth a look.

Stricker is playing this week at the John Deere classic , an event he has won the past 2 years and he doesn't seem to do really well at the British traditionally.

Bleacher report has a pretty good look at their choices for top 10 contenders and they have stricker in their top 10 . http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...lengers-next-month-at-royal-st-georges/page/2

The truth is, I am looking alot more at just taking Rory though for a futures wager. Rory has finished third or better in three of his past four majors and did great here last year. I just dont see how you bet against him right now.

I hope Donald or Westwood give him a run for the money though.

I guy who never won a major before will win this. It's always some unknown who wins the BO.

Except Watson's 5....Player, Nicklaus, Ballesteros, Faldo and Wood's 3...Arnie's 2.

Other than that it's ALWAYS some unknown who wins the Open. Well, Bobby Jones won 3. Trevino, Norman and even Paddy Harrington all won 2.

But other than THAT it's ALWAYS some unknown.
