rossthejambo Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It's almost that time of year again, one of the great events on the sporting calendar. Can't wait for more of Monty's words of wisdom on Sky and hopefully see the return of Tiger to Major winning form. My money's on Adam Scott (E/W) but think Woods or Mickelson will be the ones to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Garcia Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Woods is looming large over Augusta this week with 3 wins already on tour including one WGC but at the odds he isn't worth my while betting. A strong Valero Texas Open will get Rory back into the mix, first weekend of a tournament this year where he has cut out silly mistakes and will give him the confidence and kickstart he needs. Mickleson has had a decent start to 2013 without winning yet and he comes alive at the Masters. However at the majors I prefer decent each way shouts to make my fortune and so far I have bets on Sergio at 66/1, KJ at 100/1 and Westwood at 28/1. Still deliberating over my final bet for the week, at the moment its between DJ, Kuchar, Adam Scott and G-Mac. A lot of players are showing decent form so far this season so if Woods doesn't bring his A-game this could be anybodys Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Holmes? I would doubt it, for the majors we usually get Butch "Stares straight down the camera lens" Harmon and Monty. Also Sky have Jack Nicklaus on the Thursday coverage.

The Merse Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've been counting down the days for this for weeks - sad ******* that I am. Cannot wait. Fancy Tiger but too short to back. Will do some more research prior to betting but think one of my outside bets will be Henrik Stenson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind Butch although his dodgy eye creeps me out a bit Was really good last year when Nicklaus was commentating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barasa Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 One of my favourite weekends of the year. Don't keep track of the golf much during the year but there's something about the Masters that I absolutely love. Woods' odds are far too short (4/1 on ladbrokes) but do fancy him to do well, will be there or thereabouts come Sunday. Better to stick with the e/w bets - might stick a couple of quid on; Jason Day, Martin Laird (100/1 are great odds), and Ian Poulter. Would love it if Sergio won though.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Any tips folks? Made a profit on the betting over the weekend and looking to put some of it on this.

He hit a fantastic putt early in the round that was amazing. I feel like a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barasa Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Another outside chance of a top-4/5 finish for each-way is Jim Furyk. Pretty consistent record at Augusta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand Paul's Ray Bans Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Tiger isn't accurate off the tee enough at Augusta to be considered for me. Odds are much too short as well. Looking at Snedeker and Colsaerts at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Garcia Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 As good as Snedekers early form was since his comeback from his rib injury he has missed both cuts. I am thinking he isn't fully fit but doesnt want to miss an opportunity at the Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand Paul's Ray Bans Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ah, didn't know that. I was wondering why you could get him for pretty good odds considering his good form this season. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn't got injured then he would have been single figures I think. Saying that Padraig had an injury before his 2nd Open win and went out as far as 33s in the week leading up the tournament and won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that Padraig had an injury before his 2nd Open win and went out as far as 33s in the week leading up the tournament and won. His injury is a worry, but I got him at 44/1 on Betfair which I think's a decent price, even with the rib injury. Also on Adam Scott to win at 28/1, with each ways on Henrik Stenson at 50/1 and my big outsider, Stewart Cink at 150/1. Can't wait for this, absolutely love the Masters.

North Berwick Jambo Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I picked Hunter Mahan & Bubba Watson last year (both were 40/1) & won a fair bit so I am looking at players around those odds again this year.

Sergio Garcia Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Decided on Adam Scott for the last of my pre Masters bets. Been knocking on the door a few times and I think the limited schedule this year is very much with the Masters in mind.

rossthejambo Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Some interesting pairings, Bubba and Poulter, followed by Woods and Donald, followed by Fowler, Harrington and Day. Scott and Garcia going out together as well, 2 players more than deserving of breaking their major duck. Quite tempted to stick another cheeky bet on Rose or Fowler.

dunc Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 ?1 e/w on the following M Laird (100) Dustin Johnson (30) Lee Westwood (28) Ian Poulter (50) Sergio Garcia (45) i really fancy Dustin and Martin to do some damage.

Swaying on Scott as my fourth and final pre Masters bet. I was well worth mentioning as its kinda been on the QT. I think Scott has a great chance, as long as he's over his collapse last year. He always plays well at Augusta though; it really seems to suit his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
