LPGA Takefuji Classic

[DOGS THAT BARK]

couple of outrights tp place @ 5dimes
Kerr 10/1
Mathew 11/1

Kerr been competative and her break even places odds for 2002 were 5.2 so will take a look---Mathew while not as good a bang for buck compared to her 9.3 figures of 2002 has also been playing well and since Clive is liking her also will give her a go.

Stanley do you have any idea why Sorenstam is +125 ? I saw it earlier and thought it may have been a bad line. I ended up playing her in a 2 man (man,women) parlay and my first leg of P Price over Karlsson looks real good right now as Karlsson is +5 after 3 holes. Don't play for that much so I'm sure 5 dimes will not protest even if I win, but thought maybe they reversed the lines-or is there something here I do not understand? (I know that is a real possibility )

 

[Stanley]

Those were my first thoughts as well, but no complaints ... yet

 

[sports student]

Well I violated a rule by saying I was looking real good in my first matchup and now am trying to hang on. To set the record straight let me officially declare that the match is going against me now and I do not think I will be on the winning end when it is over.

 

[sports student]

Stan I have a question about something you probably know and I can't find a ruling about this at 5 dimes. We have the Sorenstram - Se Re Pak matchup today for the 3rd round. They are even going in. Let's say they both get hot today and tie for the lead at the end of the day before the playoff. Would this be a tie for this bet or would the playoff winner be considered the 3rd round winner? Thanks for any help.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

I hit this one as well right when they put it up. Not for very much just a little.

I would think if it went to a playoff it would be a push since its an '18 hole' matchup. At least thats my thinking but some of these books do have some odd rules.

 

[Stanley]

A 18-hole bet would be decided on just the 18 holes, whereas a playoff would be counted for a tournament matchup bet as it forms part of the tournament.

I'm 99% sure on that

 

[sports student]

thanks guys I figured that's probably the way it would go. Good luck to us today.

Nice call on Kerr, DTB

Almost got both of them home


3rd round update: 3-0-0; +9.75 units

Sorenstam/Pak WON by 2
Kuehne/Green WON by 1
Robbins/Hjorth WON by 3

Final update:

18-holes: 4-1-0; +7.80 units

Nice profit on the event, but incredibly lucky that Green took a triple-bogey eight on the last hole to hand victory to Kuehne! On a day when it went awry on the PGA Tour, I'll gladly this fluke!
