[UEFA Europa League > 29 September]

Re: UEFA Europa League > 29 September stoke v besiktas cant help thinking that ppl are underestimating besiktas here. if tony pulis decides to start upson,palacios & c.jerome as expected then the spine of stokes team will be weakend.stoke have not scored more than one goal in their last six games and while we all know there a physical team besiktas do have alot of quality with the likes of mehmet aurelio,simao,almedia etc.they blew maccabi away last time out 5-1 and have won there last 4 besiktas d.n.b 2pts 11/4 bet365

[Golf: The Open 2011]

Re: Golf: The Open 2011 Hey guys first time poster here having followed the site for quite a while. Pretty interested in golf and football betting and sometimes rugby. Having studied the field course and weather conditions(morning starters on day one will be playing in alot windier conditions) here are my bets 1st rd leader-Graeme mcdowell 1pt e/w 33/1 pp quater first 5 was tied 1st in the open in 2008 after rd 1 tee time of 1.43pm shot the round of the day- 64 (although in rd 2) at last weeks scottish open Lee westwood to beat rory mc Ilroy 4pts win@evens pp I'm opposing Rory this week for 4 reasons: 1. He says himself he likes course with clear definition i.e. tree lined, parkland style that suit what he sees as his American style of play as he has a high ball flight which can be found out in windy conditions as we saw last year in R2 of the Open when he shot 80. His early tee time in windy conditions puts him at a disadvantage especially compared to Westwood. 2. His putting may still be suspect as it was at Augusta in the US Masters. 3. The media spotlight will be immense as he will be given the Tiger Treatment this week as he tries to win back to back Opens. 4. He hadn't picked a club up since his US Open win until he arrived at St George's. Westwood has a much better pair of tee times as he goes out at 2.10pm in R1 compared to Rory's time 5 hours earlier at 9.09am. Lee has posted 5 major top 3 finishes in the last three years. Lee has played really well in the last two Opens - he was T3rd in 2009 and 2nd last year. Henrik Stenson 1pt e/w 66/1pp 7places 70/1bet 365 6places Henrik has a superb recent Open record - he was T3rd in 2008, in 2009 he was T13th when only four behind the winner and he was again T3rd last year. So that's 2 top 3 finishes in the last 3 years. Henrik last year became a father for the second time when his first son, Karl, was born. After being in the doldrums in 2010 the 'Nappy Factor' is now kicking in as Henrik has been working very hard and in his last two starts he's showed he is again a serious contender. In the US Open he was in the McIlroy-chasing bunch after R3 at 2 under before he finished T23rd. Then last week he played very well in the BMW International Open when he finished T9th and was 2nd for Driving accuracy and 13th for GIR. His downfall was taking 9 at a par 5 in R3 - had he taken 7 he would have been 3rd, and had he shot a par 5 he'd have been in a play-off ! He is a 7 time winner with 6 European Tour wins and he was the 4 shot winner of the 2009 Players Championship in America Good Luck All:)
