Betting Matters....

[Mick Mac]

I have lots: ?50 total spread across:

Clarke, McGrane, Hamilton, Westwood, McIlroy, Zach Johnson, Villegas and Kaymar - mostly long shots - its a scatter gun approach to having someone in the running come the weekend.

Any sucess I have ever had in golf betting has been betting at the half way stage, so I'll look again then at shorter odds chances.

Woods is deserved favourite but odds too short for his post operation form. Goosen a good bet but has not been the same player he was some years ago, but last weekend offered some hope.

I think I'm going to take on the Tiger. GRRRRRRRRRRrr

[Mick Mac]

He's already said the course is harder than he expected, so you might have the right tactics there Quids.

Done it! Bring him on :X

What are your views on Caberra(?) on links MM?

[Mick Mac]

You'd need to check his Open record - Don't recall him challenging before though. But all major winners have to be respected and he played ok last week. Its really best to wait till halfway though to be honest to see who gets off to a reasonable start. You still get good odds on the chasing pack at halfway stage.

Mick - Duval's 150 - now that could be tempting given signs of a recent renaissance and the US open's conditions..

[Mick Mac]

I know, but I can't back everyone, just almost everyone.

Have you two ever knocked one out whilst thinking of Clare Balding?

[????]

...in a grapple with the Boooby? Of course

[bigbadwolf]

What about John McCririck?

[Keef]

LOL. Wrong, but good.

Or a Horse?

[Mick Mac]

Some horses have gotten me excited over the years BBW. Can't say that's not true.

Oh and Furyk too, just remembered him :)

Did the scattergun work at the Scotish Open?

[Mick Mac]

Of course not - Westwood was best placed, but most of my choices did ok.

Cabrera finished 7 in 2006 Open and 4th in 1999, so he has no probs with links golf.

Weather usually plays a part, rain/wind forecast Thurs and Fri, sunnier Sat & Sun...

You partaking RD?

[red devil]

Not sure, Mick's strategy of waiting until the first two rounds are over might be advisable if the weather's going to blow, but then again if you want value...got a feeling an outsider or 'local hero' might take it, bit like Paul Laurie(?) at Carnoustie...Goosen EW to start off with though methinks...

[Mick Mac]

Added Harrington to my list last night - not sure I'm convinced by all those missed cuts.

[Mick Mac]

Nice 66 from one of my men - Villegas (4 birdies in last 5 holes).

[bigbadwolf]

Mick can you please make up your mind as to where you're going to post regarding the Golf because at some point today I'm going to want to start making fun of you or Quids and I don't want to be tripped up by your indecisiveness. Make your mind up please.

[Mick Mac]

Its here when I have a financial interest in the player concerned BBW - otherwise the Locker Room for general British Open chat.

Hope that helps you decide where best to take the p1ss.

Are you trying to suggest that my subconcious is trying to engage me in some sort of torrid bumfoolery with our favourite turf accountant Quids.

I bet you're just jealous aren't you Quids, since I'll be on the recieving end of Mick Mac's biggest tip ever.
