200-1 is exactly why i would feel guilty, and I don't care who you are, a hundy on 200-1 shot is balls. So nice bet sir, regardless of the outcome. So sick you made a pre-tourny bet on this guy and wasn't just a few dollars. Did you think about puting more after day 1? he probaly still had very long odds. I bet Ryo at 100 to 1 and he was a stoke better and more of a household name then Cols. Apparently Cols is good but I was ignorant of that until this weekend. Did a double take when I saw the German flag, without the name of Kaymer. My heart would have been pumping on that big par putt he made toward the end, keeps him in range. I also got the leaderboard surrounded, I doubled down on all my guys after most of them sucked after day 1, and very small after round 2. 1. mcdowell 5 for 300, 15 for 225. 2. els 15 for 1200, 10 for 1500, 2 for 160. 2. simpson 15 for 1200, 13 for 650, 2 for 2503. kaymer 20 for 1000, 10 for 10004. adams 3 for 1985. goosen 10 for 1500, 1 for 2005. sergio 10 for 500I'm like homer simpson when he buys a hundred lottery tickets. I love having a chance on Sunday to win a bet, I yell at the tv against every other player for his ball to miss or get in a bad place, and other evil wishes. bubba's shot at 10 in the masters had me yelling and jumping through the roof.

+1/2 should cost more because you are getting half a stroke.-1/2 pays more bc essentially that golfer must win by 1 stroke or more. Which means you lose on any ties.

What is the appropriate hedge if we took the Westy prop?

I think with so many golfers still in contention there is not one.

Trying to get fancy here is very likely going to cost you a lot of money at a course like this especially with late in the day conditions. No guts, no glory.I think with so many golfers still in contention there is not one.

OKC +4 tonight? just was at +4.5

Watching him bogey back to back holes sucked and then it looked like he was going to bogey another while mcdowell was dropping par's and a birdie....not the ideal finish but at least he's in range.I think westwood has a better shot than the belgian today, he's been in this spot before. I was happy to see tiger drop a few strokes, i don't want him anywhere near the top.

A couple of mathups I like for today. Chappell +110 over Adams. Simpson +120 over Dufner. Simpson played great yesterday and could have shot a 66 if a couple of short putts went in. Hoss over Peterson +110.
crewmember
Footballguy
man, that first hour yesterday yesterday was perfect for him. in matter of minutes the field fell and and he was 1 back of only 1 guy I think. And if he made 1 or 2, not taps but makeable puts, could have taken the lead. what a teaser.

Sorry to do this guys but I'm losing my mind right now and need to try something so I'm going with the reverse jinx. :lookatme: :IBTL:K. That should do it.

Thanks Beavers, winning money like that is funner then any other sport imo. Almost hit a 5 team matchup parlay with all my guys for 500 but Sergio lost to Rose. I knew he was sucking this week but it always seems like he puts together a nice Sunday after being way out of contention.

I can't get in any money in there right now, but just a heads up for you guys, gtbets.eu(former vipsports.com) has British Open odds up right now, and I suspect some of the players will be bet down shortly.
I will bold my opinions of guys who I think could get bet down, but share your opinions of the players(unless of course you want to keep those juicy odds for yourself) I basically picked all the people that did well this week. I'm sure that's not worth much at all, but I do think they will be bet down. So if you like any of em, I would go get em now.

Also Ernie Els has finished 2nd and 4th at the British opens at this venue. If you like to put stock in results from 1996 and 2001.

Just got back from a little celebration of fatherhood. Congrats to any and all who got a piece of Webb. It was good value imo. Took 2 out of 3 on the matchups today with only the kid losing his matchup. Made up a deficit i had gotten into after the first few rounds and cleared 5 units for the tourney.Nice!

Note on all odds I laid out, that all bets are action. Word already is that Simpson might not play British Open with his baby coming soon.

Jesus Christ, this is f'n great. Love FB on basketball. Never new I'd love FB on artistic gymnastics.I follow artistic gymnastics year-round, but do not follow what markets will be available at the Olympics. I'll post some leans on the team competition, all-around, and individual apparatuses if folks can play those.
I love this place

So realistically is there any chance the Thunder win? I've got a nice chunk of Thunder to win it all and I'm thinking about buying out of some of it at this point (1:2 now)... hate to do it but watching these games I'm not sure the Thunder will win another game let alone 3 of 5.
modogg
Footballguy
in my opinion, they certainly still have a chance. they hit a few of those free throws down the stretch, and they could have just as easily won that game. they were up 8 or so when Durant got his 4th foul and him and Westbrook had to sit for 6 minutes. I'm hoping OKC takes the next one, which they very well can, and i'll buy out a little bit after that. i've gotten screwed hedging the past few weeks, so i'm not over-reacting on this one.
hooter311
Footballguy
Very unlikely that the Heat take 3 in a row at home. I think Thunder wins last night if Durant didn't sit with 4 with time left in the third.If they can win just one of the next two, I like their chances at home in games 6 & 7.

Super excited for the Olympics and wagering on it. Not even trying to be funny, I used to row and finally have an opportunity to wager on it. Will definitely plunk some solid coin on those races and do the research on my rowing sites I frequent. I see the initial event markets are coming from Pinnacle. As a resident of the USA, anyone know from the past which US facing sites offered Olympic wagering on individual events, and which sites were the best for the Olympics? TIA.

This would be the worst possible time to wager on the heat, i'd highly recommend just sweating this one out.
