RBC Canadian Open
 

O'Hair 50.00 @ 18-1
Casey 26.47 @ 16-1
Goosen 23.53 @ 18-1

I have a stupid question to ask:

Your betting an even amount on O'Hair but not on either Casey or Goosen. Just curious as why you did that? I might learn something about betting. Thanks.

I am betting 100 bucks. My number 1 pick obviously is O'Hair so I bet half my stake on him. The other 50 bucks I pick 2 or more players and Dutch the bet so it returns the same amount regardless of which one wins.

Thank you for explaining it to me. Best of luck on your picks. Hopefully you will have the same luck that I have been having on ESPN Streak For The Cash.

I have a question too. Why would anyone bet on golf?

Didn't have you pegged for a wise ass... I bet on golf to make money. At these odds you need about 2 winners per year along with a couple dutches to show a positive ROI... Redboarding but my ROI is currently 30% for the year. Most losses in a row was 10. I'll track for the rest of the year and post if you like starting with last weeks loss.

-100 - British Open

not trying to be (that much of) a wise ass. I'd be interested if you want to post your picks. Good Luck!!!

Please post your results. Im curious to see how you do for the rest of the year. Thanks.

Betting golf is very difficult. But if the price is right, a few stabs here and there can be worth it.

You have to be able to read body language really well. I actually think individual sports are the easiest, because you can eliminate all the chokes. Still hard though.

You have it right for the most part though. You wait until after the cut and then make your bets. Prices are a little lower, but chances of hitting are greater. You still parlaying a bunch of crazy bets like you used to?

If you can bet on someone to finish last, I have a lock for next week. What a tool:

He won't break 90 either day.

No doubt. I feel bad for the guys he's paired with, and surely there was someone more deserving of the exemption.

He succumbed to the pressure and withdrew.

It would have killed a guy like him to have his ego deflated like it surely was gonna be, had he choose to play.

part of me wanted him to play and get crushed. :o

Me too:tro:

I'm all lined up for my annual humbling in a couple weeks. First tourney since last Sept. Shoot my pair of 85's, come home with my tail between my legs, slam my clubs in the closet and vow to not play again for another 6 months:D
