Masters Betting

£5 each way on the following, top six payout, £40 in total

Louis Oosthuizen 100/1
Angel Cabrera 125/1
Ernie Els 80/1
Graeme McDowell 45/1

I've squirreled away a few small bets over the last month or so and have interests in Fowler, Poulter (sentimental longer shot), Kaymer and Donald. Reckon I'll have another little dabble after round 1

Good luck with King Louis, I backed him too.

Oosthuizen 125/1
Stenson 175/1
E. Molinari 175/1

are my three bets this week.

Went out to bet Donald, changed my mind & couldn't resist betting Lefty @ 7/1.

His return to form last week & his shot from the trees last year still clear in my head.

I've gone for a 'name who wins the group' accumulator. £14.50 down and if I get the winner in all 6 groups (5 golfers in each group) I get a cool £9,600.00.

Can not see past Woods this year, and at 10/1 looks a good bet and especially, after the Poulter wind up.

Good luck with that, but it sounds like the most impossible bet I've ever heard !
662/1 but sounds like it should be 662000/1 !

Think I'll have a flutter - what's the best online betting company?

Paddy Power are offering 6 places and as a new customer you'll get some kind of free bet.

Highly unlikely you'll get the winner out of all 6 groups, BUT if you get even one winner you get your money back and it's not inconceivable to get 2/3 winners.

Only three men have ever defended the Masters. Lefty isn't joining that group.

I cannot see an American winning - not unless it's an outsider

Bets are now on.

Westy 14/1 win
Kaymer 22/1 e/w
GMac 45/1 e/w

Nothing radical there, just sensible stuff really.

Might still have a punt on an outside winner, possibly Sergio or Scott who are both very attractively priced. Just couldn't bring myself to back a yank, wouldn't be right watching on Sunday night cheering for the opposition!

All 6 of my players made it through the half-way cut and they are all under par. Alas, I stupidly backed Dustin Johnson to win the group with Mini Mac in However, I've an outside chance my other picks; Adam Scott, Jim Furyk, Poulter, Strick and Westie might beat the opposition which would give me over a £100.00. Knew I should have opted for Mini Mac though I'm going to be sorely peed off tonight if Mini Mac wins and my other 5 come good. However, he's playing fantastically well - the final nine will reveal how strong his nerve is around the greens.....

All but one of my bets made the cut (Kaymer let me down) but only Luke with any real chance. A stunning round from Poulter or Fowler might just get them into an each way spot but I'm not holding my breath

Hoping Rory holds on but at 80/1 I have to admit I wouldn't be devastated if Scott surged through. Also got Luke at 16s and Fisher at 150, none of them out of it.

Sounds like we have some Bookies on the way to the Bank!

Yeah, my wallet is a little lighter that's for sure!

When Scott got to 12 under I thought I was quids in! Still picked up a ton though.

I picked up £45.00 so I'm nett £30.00 better off with Poulter, Stricker and Scott winning their groups. Was a good bit of fun and no horses were killed either

won 107quid on Oqilvy and Tiger top 5 - rory let me down so did Poulter. Quids in anyway
