Washman Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thought I'd throw this in for interest - a good ten years ago there was a Sports paper that ran every Sunday, can't remember the name of it, but I always remember this golf bet they suggested. You pick 6 two balls (generally on 3rd or 4th days, but can be earlier in majors) and bet on ties, as follows: £1 on a tie in each (£6 total) £0.10 on fourfolds (£1.50 total) £0.10 on fivefolds (£0.60 total) £1 on accumulator Total stake is £9.10, so you only need 1 pair to tie to pretty much break even (£8.50 back with most bookies), and you can do much better, and add a bit of excitement to watching Sky coverage. I have very little golf knowledge, and would rather just pick last 6 pairings, and more if I want to have a couple of acca's. Today's results weren't bad, got 5 ties out of 12, and 4 were in one bet :D: [TABLE=class: tableData tableList, width: 100%] [TR] [TD]09 Mar 13 / 12:51[/TD] [TD]Fourfold(s)[/TD] [TD] 1 2 3 4 5 6 [/TD] [TD] Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard [/TD] [TD] John Senden v Peter Hanson – 3rd Round 2 Balls Dustin Johnson v John Huh – 3rd Round 2 Balls Charl Schwartzel v Keegan Bradley – 3rd Round 2 Balls Fredrik Jacobson v Bubba Watson – 3rd Round 2 Balls Steve Stricker v Phil Mickelson – 3rd Round 2 Balls Tiger Woods v Graeme McDowell – 3rd Round 2 Balls [/TD] [TD] Draw @ 8.50 Draw @ 8.50 Draw @ 8.50 Draw @ 8.50 Draw @ 8.50 Draw @ 8.50 [/TD] [TD] Won Lost Won Won Won Lost [/TD] [TD]£1.50[/TD] [TD]£522.01[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
