British Open Value Bets $10.00 to win $9,750.00 +97500 British Open - Jason Dufner
$10.00 to win $7,600.00 +76000 British Open - Marcel Siem
$15.00 to win $10,875.00 +72500 British Open - Fredrik Andersson Hed
$15.00 to win $6,300.00 +42000 British Open - Thomas Aiken
$10.00 to win $2,500.00 +25000 British Open - John Daly
$30.00 to win $5,250.00 +17500 British Open - Ryo Ishikawa
$20.00 to win $2,500.00 +12500 British Open - Robert Karlsson
$30.00 to win $1,950.00 +6500 British Open - Retief Goosen

Pretty upset that the max bet was $15 for Siem and Hed. I tried to put $100 down on Hed, but to no avail. I obviously don't think he'll win, but I see HUGE value in him.


Anybody have any thoughts on this card?

Goosen and Karlson are the only guys on that card with a chance. You have to have a very good mental game in this tournament and I don't believe any of the guys on that card do. Goosen is pretty streaky and Karlson should know the European weather. Gl

if you "don't think he will win" why bet on him

Same reason you bet on any underdog.

I think he can win, but I don't think he will. But I certainly think he has better than a 1/725 chance of winning. More like 1/350 in my opinion.

-7 through 15. If I can sell some back I certainly will.

I was kinda upset with how he finished. He could easily be -9 right now. That being said, about 5 of my selections are still very much in the race, so I'm very happy right now.

On BF when he was -7 a buy back was there at about 1-22. Earlier today around 1-45.

What's BF? I've looked around for books to sell some back, but not too intently.

McDowell looks like a good play tomorrow vs Furyk -140. Furyk had a similar blowup in the masters with an 80 round 1 and followed it with a 76 in round 2.

That's BetFair, as in post 5. It's an exchange like Matchbook.
Their odds generally beat any sportsbook and often closely
resemble what you'ld find at Pinnacle.

gotcha. Unfortunately, I'm but a stupid American!

Hey X-Files, I got a future on McIlroy to win this thing. Can you get something at Matchbook where you would take the field vs. McIlroy heading into Sunday? Can u create a bet like that?

 

[tk2wndw]

I mean betfair, not matchbook...

Hey X-Files, I got a future on McIlroy to win this thing. Can you get something {edit, at BF} where you would take the field vs. McIlroy heading into Sunday? Can u create a bet like that?

Yes, instead of backing him to win the tourney you lay him to win.

This is exactly the same as betting the field.
