Am I allowed to announce another big winning bet without you getting disappointed again... :))

Backed McIlroy a 10s and Dustin Johnson at 24 at start of the St Jude. With 3 holes to go they were first and second fav, Johnson won and an overall profit of ?150 on the two bets.

It seems to be never ending. What will I do with all the money. I might buy a hedge trimmer, to cut down all the hedgies in the local area.

Still got Italy, Russia and Torres as top goal score all now in trading territory. I also have put a bet on Holland tonight at 34s and hedged it with laying them against Portugal. If they lose nothing lost if they win they'll plummet down again in my opinion ready for a trade....don't worry Mick I'll explain it all to you one day

Plus, in the Golf - Donald, Laird and Hansen and,er, Watney.

Watney just got an albatross!

Really - there is no need. I understand Trading - Its when Quids looks like he is going to win a bet for once, and he decides to give the bookies back half of the winnings. Trading is a bookie's dream.

Weird...post jump there.

I have Sweden England at 2-1 to Sweden at 9's

US OPEN...

Hopes now rest on tiger and duffner who were backed from the start. Also Gmac and els added at halfway point. Harrington seems too far back and Rory missed cut so have some losses already but any of the above would rectify that.

Would have traded a profit on my Russia bet but got talked out of it.....

You should not have listened to me. I don't do trading out. Complete novice at that game.

Just watched the wonder from down under Black Caviar. Job done but only just.

Probably not the best ground for her and a long trip to the UK is going to take a fair bit out of the horse.

The Aussie jockey is taking it very badly, really feel for him. In the end he tried not to be too hard on the horse, and nearly messed up, but it still won.

The end of the BBC coverage of Ascot is sad. Not massively keen on Claire Balding, but I do like the fun she has with Willie Carson, and I think the BBC deserves some racing.

Frankel was the stand out performance of the week...the punter's friend :)

Agree about the Beeb losing Ascot, Derby and Grand National, C4 is ok but not in same league, and it won't be the same without Claire and her Willie, especially when he balances on her box...

[????]

A mixture of Football, a massive night on Tuesday :)-D and being in Ireland meant I saw very little of Ascot and no bets but I did see Frankel on the news, absolutely awesome.

Layed off Torres for Top scorer for a very small profit or a bit bigger one if he gets it (unlikely); Just holding Italy as winners (compensation if they beat us) and have reduced my risk on Laying Spain by backing them at half time tonight...but will still be in the red if they win. Also layed any hatrick at 1.32 or something as that seemed worth a shout for a minimum risk. er sorry edited to say layed No hatrick at 1.32 :)

[????]

Italy ; ). Laid off a bit before Germany game and will now guarantee a tournament profit with a hedging bet on Spain to win (tournament not game). A profit overall with my laid no hatrick bet still out there as a bit of fun - thought I might get that last night!

[Mick Mac]

Well done.

Have Rory, Fisher, Lowry and Wood in Irish Open and Mahan in the US.

[Alan Medic]

I was so sure the Germans would get back in the game at 0-2 down I decided to bet on it. My first bet in ages. Feck.

ETA I was sure Fed would come back from 2 sets down and didn't bother betting. Double feck.

[????]

Torres top scorer : )

[????]

Using my poker Forum I did Webb Simpson to win at the US event this week at 21. Forgot completley until about 8pm tonight went on BBC and he was leader by 3 and avaialable at 1.5///so, I layed for a 60%/40% win either way (60 for the win). He's now 5th, one over for today and having a nightmare...oh I love a lay...

ps thinking about only betting on golf given my form recently :)

[Mick Mac]

Thinking about only betting on golf eh....

Another nice US PGA win on Zach tonight. Quids told me to hedge of course. Roll on the Open.

[red devil]

Padraig Harrington @ 20/1

Francesco Molinari @ 40/1

[Mick Mac]

Rory, Zach, Rob Rock, Chad, Louis.

[Mick Mac]

Zach has started well.... I backed him at 100/1. Where's that smiley face. :)

[red devil]

Some good early scores posted, if the tide/wind gets up this afternoon, the leaderboard might remain unchanged...

[????]

Well all my bets made the cut (even Watney)! Woods looking good but Stricker and Donald still in play too.

[Mick Mac]

Have added Gmac to try to save me today. I also have bill haas from the start so with Zach, Kucher, Haas, half of my original bets have performed quite well. I don't think any of them will win though.

[Alan Medic]

Late bet on Ernie saw me in profit.

[????]

no hedging so a loss for me and in the King George yesterday. Mick must be hurting......
