Centrebet have Woods @1..55 in the 2ball v Monty

Tigers not using that abreviated followthrough anymore and hes on the job .
Monty will be in awe of him and will fold at some stage .
thats my view of the situation and my advice is 1.55 is a nice price

[Floydyboy]

AH Well My Bad
Silly me shouldnt have been betting third round ...live and learn
I didnt stay up and watch .....its a bugger of a time specially when youve been up late the night before doin the same thing .......so I cant make any excuses:)...yet

[rabbitz]

Floydy,i did exactly the same bet but only got $1.48,i hope monty doesnt win that would be worse than port adelaide winning something
i had to go to a birthday party so missed the lions v west coast,i taped it but stuffed the timer or something because it didnt come on the tape.i was too stuffed to stay up so just taped the golf.i'll stay up tonight.i love watching the majors and wimbledon etc but gees its hard staying up all night or getting up at four am

I dont mind the 4am gettups
Whats worse about this timeslot is Fox finishes 10.30 then chanel bloody9 leaves an hour or so gap before they kick in ..I usually turn the toes up then .......I leave the TV on while im in bed but the mince pies never stay open long once the melons on the pillow ...Ill be up tonite and watching though .
Just Checked my TV guide
FOX 9pm -10.30
Ch9 11pm -
I think Tiger will prevail in his 2ball although I really think that Olazabal is getting close to the top of his comeback trail and if he can reproduce some of his old form he has a chance of kissin the claret jug.
As far as Monty goes I think hes the Tim Henman of british golf ..Goosen's folded in the past but hes also climbed the mountain to a major so I think he might tough it out ....Dont know if Montys got the steel to tough it out if he drops a stroke or two (Ill watch the replay this arvo)
My first thoughts are to take a punt on Tiger /Goosens double (in the 2ball) but that could be influenced by the fact that I find it hard to put my money on anybody whos ears and attitude bear a striking resemblence to those of prince charles

[Floydyboy]

My thoughts are that if Tiger dosent attack the course and come unstuck somewhere along the way and ruin his card .He should win by a few strokes .
If he does capitulate in the scoring dept it will be open to anyone within 5or6 strokes of Olazabal with Jose Maria right in it up to his sun visa even without a Woods collapse...Betfair have the Darren Clarke fairytale at 240/1 or thereabouts to win the tournament so thats where Im gunna put a coupla bob.
The key here is to stay out of trouble.... a good maxim in any game of golf I know but more so here where the bunkers are truly hazards and will nearly always cost you a stroke even the wrong angle on approach can be expensive ....
You probably knew this but in Tigers last win at the home of golf he played 4 rounds without finding the sand traps

Tiger should win by 3 shots

[iamcool]

Goosen to bounce back after dismal showing in the final round of the US open. For a bit of value ($9).

Watched Tiger play last night and he certainly took the scenic route on most holes. Might be a sign of things to come - wishful thinking perhaps

Maybe Vijay Singh as a roughie ($21)

Lay Monty at any price

Ive just had 2 plonks at the Fair:)
Adam Scott..$2838.60 to $6
Darren Clarke $1413.60 to $6
I know its giving money away but theres lots of Gorse and deep bunkers and theres always the weather ....
And Ive decided that from here on for a while Im going to have $6on A Scott
and L Donald in all of their tourney starts ...wonder what price ill jag when one of them wins

[Sportz]

Floydyboy,

What's with $6??? Why not $5?

[Floydyboy]

Mimimum bet at betfair because of currency conversion I imagine

However I can bet $6.01 ,$6.02,etc.......you can bet in pennies at centrebet as well as long as u bet min $1.00 ....that gets me back to the point why would u want to bet with fractional or USA type odds when decimal is available ...got me buggered

"The Great Man"

[Floydyboy]

Oh Yes
I reinvested my Broncs winnings into tiger 2ball
I pushed aside my dislike of monty ...I was gunna lay him to miss the top five but his odds were 2.48 to high for me to lay ...I would have jumped in if I could have got evens .....all credit to him I really thought he would have folded I did a quick run down the list and there was about 9 people who broke 70 a hard day out there ..And I never lasted to watch it ,,,,I woke up about 2 holes from the finish

[rabbitz]

I went to bed at 8,set the clock for 11pm and was fresh as the proverbial
He is playing smart,Tiger is
What about phil mickelson,he really struggles over there.It is really superior to American golf,they dont putt from 30 metres off the green in US
I'm glad we dont have bunkers like that on my course,been playing golf at all Floydy

[Floydyboy]

playing at Ipswich on Sunday and then a in a few weeks we trek to Towoomba I always look forward to Towoomba .....I much prefer the English links golf ......The NSW course in Sydney is very much like an english course I loved playing there
