US OPEN II - the event itself

[neverteaseit]

a play today should be no action play on janzen. he was not disqualified he was accessed a penalty therefore missing the cut at +6. he never teed off today. now if he had tedd of then the bet would be a loss because action had occured. Olympic is top notch and they should cancel all bets.

If you to the golf page at olympic and read the golf wagering rules it states:

Wagering on match-ups between golfers
The winner of the match-ups will be decided by which golfer ends up with the lowest score having played equal rounds. Both golfers must tee off in the tournament or the wager will be "No Action" or "Push/Cancel" and all money will be refunded. If one of the golfers misses the cut, withdraws, or is disqualified during the tournament, the opposing golfer wins the match-up. Often match-ups are updated after each round. These new odds will be for the entire remainder of the tournament

IMO, the play today is void. Any play before today is a loss. Consider the opposite scenario. If you knew that Janzen had incurred a two-shot penalty and would not play at the weekend and you limited out on Calc, would you expect Spiro to pay out. I don't think so. It would be voided as should a wager on Janzen today.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

2 totals for 3rd round at wsex
Mick over 71.5 +160
Duval over 71.5 +130

Concur that bet should be voided Jack

am happy for your 50/1 Sergio to win Ian, even if I don't have 50/1

3rd round update: 1-1-0 and -0.05 units

Split the plays for a break-even day and that's quite an improvement on events so far! Love defeated Bjorn by two, but Toms had a miserable day and lost by five to Cabrera. Still looks as though the 72-hole plays will be profitable. In the remaining plays, Azinger leads Calc by seven and Langer by five, Hoch leads Faldo by five, while Irwin leads Kite by one and Lehman trails Love by one. With Garcia in good shape for the title and Azinger with a chance for a place finish, could yet limit the losses of day one and the props.

4th round plays:

Briny Baird to beat Bryce Molder -135 @ Camelot
Hale Irwin to beat Gabriel Hjertstedt -122 @ Five Dimes [2 units]

Will look at two-ball plays later when more lines are available

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

3rd round lost both totals under 71.5 on Mick (68)Duval (71)

Will sell 1 share of Cink @ $16 leaving one share each of Cink and Sergio,4 Toms 2 Lehman @ 0 net cost.

Off,with dampened spirits,to see whats out there today.

4th round cont @ oly
Mediate -120 over Brooks currently tied

 

[Ian]

Time for some major hedging - sitting on vouchers for
Garcia 50-1 (e/w)
Mediate 150-1 (e/w)
Cink 400-1 (win only)
So have sensibly backed
Mickelson 9-2
Goosen 11-2
Brooks 9-1
and have somewhat favoured Mickelson. I hope I am right and that no-one from outside the top 6 can win, looking forward to an entertaining evening!

 

[Stanley]

Adding 4th round plays:

Loren Roberts to beat Bryce Molder -161 @ Easybets
Phil Mickelson to beat Mark Brooks -125 @ BetSmart [2 units]
Tiger Woods to beat Padraig Harrington -150 @ Sports.com [2 units]

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

adding 1 more @ $plays
Gogal -110 over Lewis

Will forgo any totals. Have come to conclusion yesterday I totally over estimated toughness of this course.Four players out of last five groups hit into rough on 18 (# 1 handicap)and 3 out of 4 par with Mick being the exception.Do believe Duval will have work cut out busting 70.5 as he will have to be aggresive with 5 players 4 or more strokes ahead, but will forgo the embarrassment of posting losing total on player 3 times in a tourney.

 

[Subagoto]

I like that one too, DTB. I am taking that one at +110, Chamblee (+125) over Maggert and Dimarco (+120) over Weir today for one unit each. +3.15 Units for round #3. +9.5 so far with 4 units still out on some players to place in the top 4, of which Cink and Furyk are still viable. Good luck. Come on Cink!

lock and load today boys. took my first hit yesterday as tiger shoots a decent round and duval well typical duval no freakin heart. don't think this guy will win a major.
-5 units still have plenty to get though.

Nice plays fellas on cink I'll be pulling for ya. but i'm rooting more for lefty at +1200 he's looking solid. lets just don't see a sunday collapse.

loading up on these final round matchups.

triplett +100 over love the turd 5 units
azinger +105 over duval 5 units
brooks +120 over goosen 5 units
brooks -110 over meddiate 5 units

gl to all

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

OK I'm a glutton for punishment adding
Duval over 70 1/2 +105 @ Camelot

Just so you don't think I've went mad on this play this week i'll give my reasonings.
1st He has only busted par in 4 out of 33 rounds played in U.S. Open and while many were in years he did not shine,his scores in last 3 where he finished 8th-7th-and 7th,his best 3 finishes,his score cards looked like this.
Pebble Beach G.L. - Pebble Beach, Ca. - Par 71 / 6,846 yards T-8 75-71-74-71 = 291 +7 112,766.00
1999 Pinehurst C.C. (No 2) - Pinehurst, N.C. - Par 70 / 7,175 yards T-7 67-70-75-75 = 287 +7 96,260.33
1998 The Olympic Club (Lake Course) - San Francisco, Ca. - Par 70 / 6,797 yards T-7 75-68-75-69 = 287 +7

He has fired at least 2 rounds per event over 74 and has escaped this week. I am going to bite once again and feel I was on right side if it does lose for 3rd time.

Can you believe those missed putts on 18!!!

We come back to play again tomorrow

 

[Stanley]

Final update: 1-4-0 and -5.90 units for the day; 18-33-1 and -40.77 units for the week

A record week for the wrong reason ... I should have given up when I saw how things were panning out on the first day! Very briefly, Tiger was the only win today; he was the only pick to break par and second-best was Mickelson at five-over! Of the five remaining 72-hole plays, Azinger won both of his as did Hoch against Faldo. The two tight plays overnight turned into losses as both Irwin and Lehman lost.

Update on outright plays: 1-2 and +0.38 units

Three picks in the top-12, so at least should be pleased with those even if they weren't that profitable. Garcia was simply awful and dropped down to 12th; Singh had a great day to recover a lost position and finish just one shot out of a place finish, while Azinger at least did finish 5th, but as alongside Kite, the shared pot was rather small. Enough said on that week!

PGA Tour ytd:
Matchups/props: 274-229; +26.76 units
Outright plays: 11-59; -3.92 units

All Tours ytd:
Matchups/props: 409-363; +12.58 units
Outright plays: 44-230; +101.46 units

Tough luck Ian. At least you had those hedge bets

Great week Neverteaseit

Hope to see you here again next week!

 

[Anders]

Ian - ouch, truly feeling for you buddy!

400-1 - that's 100-1 for each fluffed stroke around the 18th green

Personally, went 6-4 in matchups, getting two 3-unit plays to make +4.8 units.

But awful last rds from Sergio and Lehman and a battler from Azinger scuttled the outrights (and two matchups on Lehman) to hand a small loss for the weekend.
Thanks to everyone for their help and advice

 

[neverteaseit]

Thank You Stanley. Mr. Goosen with the choked just add some more cash to my pocket with brooks mathcup. +26 units.

I WILL BE ALL OVER BROOKS TOMORROW.
GOOSEN HAS TO BE DEVESTATED.

[Ian]

There are not enough expletives in the English (or any) dictionary to explain how I feel - especially as I had some major hedges on Goosen coming in - Ho Hum another day another dollar - have to hedge a little more on Brooks tomorrow
I am off to cry myself to sleep

Notes: Don't know who is more embarrassed Cink and Goosen or myself for shoddy job this week.
Do feel for you Ian.Would have loved to see you pop the big one.
The finish of Open was fitting from standpoint of most of the tourney.The unpredictable prevailed.Three rounds of 64 (unheard of in opens)including Kite on last day.So be it.
