Golf 2012 Masters April 5th/6th/7th/8th

I'm no expert on golf but I do have an interest bet in the big tournaments

Paddy Power offer 1/4 odds e.w. on first 6 , others only offer first 5 at the moment
Paddies also have another offer of "Money back on all losers if Tiger wins" , I think that is the outright winner market

these are the odds from paddy power , I hope they'll copy o.k.

Each Way Terms 1/4 places 1,2,3,4,5,6

Nice one Traeth, like you I like a bet for interest on this, I’m no expert either but the mrs likes the masters and it’ll be on the box here this weekend.
Spot on with the Tiger Woods, Paddy Power offer, there are 2 or 3 others going 6 places now and all are at ¼ odds.
Some other bookie offers are…
Blue Sq: Will refund, as free bets, all single bets placed on any golfer who finishes within 2 shots of the winning score (to bets placed before start of 2nd round).
Corals: Will refund if your stake if your player leads after round 3 but doesn’t win the masters.
Betdaq: Commission back (outright market) if Woods or McIlroy win the Masters.

A bit of British bias for me, the two favourites are covered (Paddy Power offer included), my main hope betting wise is for Hunter Mahan.
R.McIlroy 3 pts WIN @ 11/2

L.Westwood 2pts WIN @ 20/1

H.Mahan 5pts E.W @ 30/1

D.Johnson 1.5pts E.W @ 50/1

I.Poulter 1pt E.W @ 90/1

20pts Staked

Early bets are KJ Choi, K Bradley, R Fowler and F Couples all each way (interest stskes only) I've also haf more interedt on Keegan Bradley as he's going to be a big star imo. If he handles Augusta then he could go close.

Couples had a decent tournament at the weekend and always seems to do well at the masters. I would settle for the same top 2 after day one as on 2010. couples and tom watson. Couples to be top senior could also be a bet.

Good Luck

Im each way Bo Van Pelt @ 80-1 [Paddy Power]

Dustin Johnson a NR now.

I've had my 3pt stake back and have re-staked, my slip now looks like this..

R.McIlroy 3 pts WIN @ 11/2

L.Westwood 2pts WIN @ 20/1

H.Mahan 5pts E.W @ 30/1

S. Stricker 1pt WIN @ 55/1

M.Kuchar 1pt WIN @ 60/1

M.Kaymer 1pt WIN @ 75/1

I.Poulter 1pt E.W @ 90/1

20pts Staked

here are my interest e.w. bets
outright
Rose
Kaymer
Kuchar
Schwartel

Bradley 1st round leader

Well we're shouting a couple on the same Traeth

Love this tournament , i would crawl over broken glass to have a go on this course , on back shift weekend so i shall see most of it
Tiger Woods @ 5/1 , not to be sniffed at , finding a bit of form lately , Luke Donald @ 15/1 , each way shot for me.
Rorys a brilliant golfer and will be around for many years , but my heart says hes not going to win this one , despite all the talk in the press.
Rain forecast for the afternoon of the first two days if thats any help to folk..

I'd give you 900/1 on him Punt.

I'm really hoping Tiger shoots around 65 on the opening day, as I will looking to lay him strongly. It will be interesting to see how many go odds on during the course of the tournament.

I've gone for a dutch on:

Rose @ 30/1
Donald @ 15/1
Westwood @ 20/1
Bradley @ 35/1. pays 5/1.

I've also backed Glover @ 500.0, looking to trade him back. He never gets in the top 20 but does trade lower in the tough tournaments.

You're the 2nd person to say that to me this morning
I know nothing about golf Beam' ...other than Hunter Mahan will blitz this field of no hopers. I'll be counting my cash on him around the 10th hole in the final round. Hottest tip of the year. Honest.

I'm on Mahan, Choi & Van Pelt

halfway -4 Westwood
-3 Lawrie finished ,Dufner ,F Molinari ,Jimenez

my four are in Kuchar -1 other three at evens

Stenson was leading until the final hole

I've just topped up on Kuchar in running, -3 under, playing steady, 2 behind the leader. Overpriced @ 25/1 at present

M.Kuchar 5pt WIN @ 25/1

final day leaderboard plus their backer , hope I've not missed anyone , most of us have one or two to cheer on
1Hanson--9

11Couples-2...Kegman

I actually phoned two bookies asking for a double on Woods/ McIlroy not to be in top ten, but never got a quote.Just did Woods @ 6/4, which might be a blessing as Rory actually looks backable @ 6.4 to be in top 10.

18 players are in the -4 to -1 range. A few will play cautiously, hoping the field collapses and happy to be at the top end. the likes of Watson, Stenson and Westwood will chase at the end aand there are bound to be some horror stories.

Laid Watson @ 1.32 and will be looking to lay a few of the -4-1 range at around the 1.6 range.
