US Open

[Stanley]

It seems like last year, but it was only the Masters DTB. I presume you're referring to the host of cut props I had that week

Yes Ian, the 10-shot rule is a concern, but it hasn't been enforced since 1997 (made a huge different in 1996!) and if this course is playing so tough then ten shots will be nothing. Last year, if you were ten shots behind Tiger after 36 holes, you were 11th

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Gonna add a couple E/W without Tiger at Surrey for 1/2 unit each.
Sutton 40/1
Durant 66/1

 

[Ian]

One last bet (I think)
72 holes
Bjorn over Durant -110 Paddy Power

Looks like the competition for golf action is really hotting up

[Stanley]

Don't believe they will be able to match Camelot for most matchups and player totals though

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Will give WSEX props of being the 1st of my outs to release matchups on Open.Bout 24 hours ahead of most.

direcbet has 3 way 18 hole plays for tomorrow. Is anyone doing any of those. I have not been able to parse out anything on those possibilities in this thread, but maybe I missed it. Forgive me if it is here somewhere. Thanks. I kind of liked Durant +170 vs. Couples and Campbell, Cink +130 vs. Foulke and Hoch and also Duval +130 over Franco and Price, and finally maybe Coceres +175 over Byrum and Estes. Thoughts?

 

[Stanley]

Subagoto, DTB's yer man for the 3-balls. He did mention they had 3-ball betting @ Pinnacle so would expect the same from Direcbet. Apart from his plays, there should be plenty of info in this very big thread for looking at the 3-ball betting.

Stanley,

The only thing more amazing than my U.S. Open coverage is the number of "followers" you have who bet tghe exact plays you post!!! Jesus, I never expected to draw this much action on some of these little matchups!!!

Stan's scary, a guru-wiseguy

 

[AussieVamp2]

also noticed sports.com betting (which maybe is a surrey clone) has 1/4 for top 5 too, and Westwood for example was a 66/1 there and 50 elsewhere, so an interesting one

 

[AussieVamp2]

and a bizarre one

wienwest has players to finish top 2, 4 and 8, at not so exciting odds

but each player to have an odd/even score which is a bizarre one and unhandicappable presumably, but also to make/miss cut

 

[Subagoto]

FYI on ESPN - USGA will attack slick greens

Ian,

sounds like your man Thongchai is a fan of The Phantom, with those sleeping habits.

 

[sweatbet]

Stanley It will take alot of rain to effect the greens, as Tulsa has not had any rain to speak of in the last week or two. Also if the winds stay like they are today (35mph gusts) it won't help any.

 

[Ian]

OK one last bet
Players to MAKE cut
Tom Kite has made the cut in the last 7 US Opens, he has made the cut in the last 8 PGA tour events he has played, he was 9th here in the US PGA in 94, he was 3rd in his last Senior tour event 2 weeks ago
-120 at Stan James

 

[simonpjc]

Any thoughts guys on the over/under of 65 1/2 for the lowest round of the tourney???

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Simon That is a wager I would say is a coin toss.
adding
Prop @ 5dimes Coceres +145 to miss cut
1st round wager 2 WSEX
Els -160

over Maggert
Can't remember ever betting one in the 140 range prior but couldn't pass on this track.

Is anyone else getting headache looking at all the matchups?Back shortly will checkout the 3 balls for Subagoto @ Direcbet.

 

[Subagoto]

Thanks, DTB. My mind is certainly not set on those I mentioned, but I sort of like them. Have some 72 hole action too, but wanted to liven things up tomorrow am too.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

You might find a 3ball out of this combo(parlay) I bet for $hits and grins @ Sportingbet earlier.Believe it invovles 7 matches and returns $2,000 plus for $10 wager.I don't think Direcbet or Pinnacle lets you parlay 3balls but you might find a match or 2 you also like. Off to watch Open preview on ESPEN in bout 15 minutes.
Good Luck.
