  1. For the Open I am going to be gleefully accepting Corals very kind offer currently on Martin Kaymer of 55/1. I have posted a link below which illustrates that this is going to be the most important week of the year for him and he is gearing everything around it. Not playing the week before and spending the week on Kingbarns etc. He has won the Dunhill Links here, it is his favourite course and he finished in the top 10 in the last open here. He hasn't showed a great deal of form recently, but with everything in the year geared towards The Open I am not unduely concerned. Kaymer is also as low as 25/1 with a number of other firms. So Coral'r price really is a stand out. As for the main competitors, well let's be frank, Speith didn't win the US Open DJ lost it. On Friday he was 3 in front and lost that, he was 3 with a couple of holes to go on sunday and immediately double bogeyed. He still suffers with nerves imo. Additionally before the Masters he had a number of personal tours and a number of visits from Ben Crenshaw and his caddie prior to the tournament, and of course he played Chambers a number of times and his caddie lived on the course. I not so sure he will be flying back and forth every other weekend to St Andrews! The other main competition according to the books is Mr McIlroy. Well Rory hasn't won as much recently and I think it might be because he is in love again with a leggy blonde, and I am not talking about Snedeker! He has found himself a birdie who works for the USPGA and we all know what happened to Rory's form when he engaged to Wozniacki don't we! I could go on and on but anyway. 55/1 looks good to me.

  2. Re: Seve Trophy 3-6 Oct I have to say I looked at all the matchups this morning and fancied the Europeans in all of them with the possible exception of Ilonen/Olesen v Casey / Khan matchup which I thought could go either way. So I just went for the European whitewash for a bit of interest.

  3. Re: Golf: 2010 Open Championship I'm currently looking at two players who have length of the tee who may not be dead accurate with the driver but will be able to go past the fairway bunkers to leave hopefully a chip and a putt I have been waiting for this tournament to come around for Angel Cabrera. He pulls it out for normally one tournament per year as I have convinced myself he is going to have a real go at this. Two years ago he won the US Open, last year the Masters and has done nothing this year. I believe he does have the ability to play links golf as playing in Argentina is notoriously windy, he doubtedly has the talent as a two time major winner and at 80/1 I am more than happy to try and pay for the summer holiday with this one. The other is JB Holmes. He has improved his short game hugely this year and with his length of the tee should leave himself short irons at most holes. Currently trading 100/1+. Smaller interest than Cabrera though.

  4. Re: PGA Golf - The Masters 2010 - Augusta - Thurs 08 April - Sun 11 April If you consider that Woods in previous years to win a Masters tournament would normally be somewhere around the 5/2 - 3/1 mark and he is circa that price now after a round and only 2 shots off the lead! I think he is still backable at the price. Regarding his improved driving perhaps his admission :$ has taken the weight off his shoulders.....literally

  5. Re: Golf: The Open Championship For some reason I find Cabrera wins one decent tourny per year and does little for the rest of it. I have had Cabrera in mind for an Open win for the last two years and then each year he has gone and won the US Open in 08 and the Masters this year to ruin my punting plan. I am going to leave Cabrera this year and row in with the Camillo Villegas. Camillo is used to playing in strong winds having learnt the game in Columbia which was highlighted when he broke the 2nd Round Open record at Royal Birkdale in 2008 at the Open shooting 65. His recent record in the majors is good finishing 13th in this year's Masters, 4th in the 2008 USPGA and 9th in the 2008 US Open. He's available currently at 55/1.

  6. Re: My Success @ Betting - Tips For Future Races I don't think reason was that you were boasting, but they asked you to be responsible in the manner of your postings. And when they banned you, you just went and got another username and did the same. Punters have been caught out by kids posting needle in haystack picks as "GET ON'S" on these forums in the past and as you can be quite OTT in your style of postings Josh to gain respect it might be an idea to tone it down a bit. Just my thoughts anyway. Quote from EBA MOd "One reason I make this point is because I've seen other so called big gamblers giving shouts of lump on oi oi before only to fall flat on their Big face. Then state that after backing the horse it was layed off to a profit. Message boards are funny places, members come and members go but there is usually a hard core of discerning posters who truly want to help others. The others obviously includes other posters who hopefully are as discerning as they are BUT and this is my real concern, the majority are surfers of these boards who don't post. Included within those surfers will be newbies to gambling who are taken aback by somebody putting more than 1000 pence on a horse and follow it blind and bet more than they can afford on the grounds of no more than an over enthusiastic post. See paragraph above. Get the moral to the story" From a personal point of view I did win some decent money following your selections on Thursday, so cheers for that.

  7. Re: The Superbowl In reply to Alexmac question regarding if these teams were in the premiership. I would say that the Philadelphia Eagles are like Spurs. Decent on defence, prone to the odd mistake, big ambitions but more often that not fall short at the final hurdle. The only Premiership side that the Patriots could be compared to really requires a bit of imagination IMO. If you imagined Jose Moreno was managing somewhere like Portsmouth, where most of their success based on teamwork and brilliant tactics rather than big money contracts. Oh and you also have to imagine that the Portsmouth are top of the Premiership. :rollin

  8. Re: Lakeside World Darts Championship (Jan 1st - Jan 9th) Paul, hope you don't mind quoting figures but as I don't know owt about Darts and generally look for what others are doing, I wanted to ask your advice. I've had 200 at 5/2 on Barneveld And £10 e/w at 40's on Whitlock after your post yesterday. Would you advise me to back anyone else at this stage, or sit tight? Thanks in advance CB

  9. Re: NBA 5/5 1/2 pt middle again I've read on an American forum that Yao Ming could out of the game for the Houston Rockets tonight with flu. The line has dropped from -7.5 to -6 in the States. Doesn't look as if it has affected the line here yet though. Thought I would post in in case anyone thinking of getting involved this morning

  10. Re: Record of the Year - Is it fixed? Found out a bit more about this competition. The original organiser of Record of the Year was Jonathan King. What I didn't know was if there were any links between Jonathan King and BMG. I'm not a music expert so this may have been obvious to some. But Jonathan King released songs under the BMG label. The plot thickens!:dude
