Twenty Bets of combinations of doubles & trebles. Could include Portsmouth & Sheff Utd if you prefer less risk.
Good Luck!
Happy with the start. Only Barnsley let me down really on the first weekend.
Pissed off to miss Shane Lowry due to holiday winning the Bridgestone at 100/1. I have been backing him all season but missed his big win.
RE: The gambling/betting thread - Luke_East_Baggie - 11-08-2015
I just came on to see if you backed Lowry, as I've been in gran canaria for 2 weeks, and just heard he won!
He's down to 55/1 for the PGA championship only starting Thursday. I'd quite like to back him, but I am not sure he's got it in him to top it. Tempted to revert back to Ricky Fowler at 22s for this one.
RE: The gambling/betting thread - Owlkev71 - 11-08-2015
US PGA Championship:
Speith 13/2
McIlroy 11/1
Fowler 20/1
Woods 50/1
Lowry 50/1
Z Johnson 50/1
Willett 90/1
RE: The gambling/betting thread - Luke_East_Baggie - 12-08-2015
I've backed Fowler at 22's and Adam Scott at 28's both e/w (top 6)
RE: The gambling/betting thread - madsteve - 12-08-2015
Here are my bets for the USPGA
Jordan Speith 8/1 (Hills)
Bubba Watson 14/1 (General)
Dustin Johnson 16/1 (General)
Ricky Fowler 22/1 (Coral)
Louis Oosterhuizen 40/1 (General)
Shane Lowry 60/1 (Bet365)
Danny Willett 100/1 (General)
Danny Lee 100/1 (Coral)
Tommy Fleetwood 250/1 (Coral)
Andy Sullivan 300/1 (SKY Bet)
Think that is a portfolio that should get me at least two places and a good shot at the winner. I have gone with similar players to the last two majors as the course is quite similar. Bubba is an addition as he has good course form & Andy Sullivan is showing form of a 66/1 player so is a bit of value. 9/1 for a Top Twenty finish on Anderson could be a decent punt.
RE: The gambling/betting thread - madsteve - 17-08-2015
Got a place on Speith for second, which was my big bet and got a shared place on Dustin for 7th. Had my usual on Tiger to miss the cut which is easy money but only 6/4 now & might be odds on next year.
Had some extra football bets on Friday.
Middlesbrough to win SBC at 6/1
David Nugent for SBC Top Scorer 18/1
Benik Afobe for SBC Top Scorer at 9/1
Leon Clarke for L1 Top Scorer at 20/1
Paddy Madden for L1 Top Scorer at 40/1
Tom Bradshaw for L1 Top Scorer at 40/1
Boro won while Madden scored twice & Bradshaw once. Sadly Leon missed a penalty.
RE: The gambling/betting thread - Owlkev71 - 17-08-2015
Just Speith got me anything from the weekends last Major.
