Yeah, I got 6 bucks and change on a futures bet at 150/1 a few weeks ago, getting somewhat ridiculous that. It wasn't a podunk golf tournament either!

Mid-point update:
Faldo/Jacobson All Square
Lane/Jacobson All Square
Sandelin/Jacobson Trails by 2
Lane/Wi WON by 7
Zhang/Lucquin Leads by 2
Nystrom/Oh Leads by 5
Soren Hansen 10th
Anders Hansen 64th
Kjeldsen 44th
Decent position at the cut though only one matchup is decided and Jacobson's return to form is a worry. In the outrights, all three still have a chance with a very congested leaderboard, though Kjeldsen had been 6th after the 1st round and Lafeber is doing considerably better than his replacement, Anders Hansen, in 10th place.

Stan this is for you and anyone else here who has a bet involving Jacobson at 5 dimes. In the opening round I played a small 3 team 1st round parlay in which one of the matchups was Lane over Jacobson. I won the parlay but 5 dimes first graded it as a loss. I e-mailed them about this and they re-graded it as a partial win, calling the Lane-Jacobson match a no-play, saying that Jacobson never paticipated in the tournament. I went back and told them that I am looking at the scoreboard at tour-tips.com and that I have Jacobson tied for 21st after 2 completed rounds so he must be playing. They sent me another e-mail saying I should contact Luka the manager and he would explain the situation to me. I have not done this, as it is only a difference of about $50 and they have done many favors for me in the past, but I think you are going to have to fight for your money here if you win this matchup. Stan I am curious if they have already grade your matchup as a no-play
just did a follow-up on your database Stanley and I see there are 2 Jacobsons that play on that tour but there is a Fredrik and a Robert, and Fredrick is the one playing in this tourney and my log at 5 dimes does say F. Jacobson.
Stan I just checked my past bets and they now have given me credit on the Lane-Jacobson matchup. Good luck.
a couple of 4th rounders @ 365 (ties lose)
Nystrom +100 over Berendt
I frankly don't understand this line.
Faldo -150 over Eriksson
LOTS of cheese to be giving but this is stakes horse vs claimer

Steved,
You must have had the whip out on Nystrom for your place money near the end.... with a birdie, birdie, birdie finish

Not a good week to oppose Jacobson! He won the event! But if Zhang hadn't double-bogeyed the last hole, the matchups would have been in profit for the week. At least Kjeldsen's fine weekend meant it was a profitable event overall. He was the only player in the top-10 to shoot an over-par round all week. More than makes up for Soren Hansen's disappointing performance - he was 4th after 53 holes.

it was nice to see a player I have backed 'run on' at the end of the tournament, and yes there was plenty of assistance from the virtual saddle...
had a weekend of near misses...soccer and racing as well...not complaining though!
