Another big one this week. Already pulled the trigger on Charl, had him lined up for this for a while taken 22s, don't think we'll get much more with his form and a T4 and a 2nd in the last 3 years. Also taken the son of a gun, Billy boy Haas at 85s and 80s, T9, T6 and T3 in his last 3 stroke play events and well rested with the week off. Plenty of water again as is the way in Florida so many splashes forecast again this week.

€163 laying Tiger @ 2.08. Liability €176.24. I think the odds do not reflect the chances of a player who is maybe 1 shot ahead of a very good field. And no guarantee he can keep playing and getting so many birdies. He has holed nearly everything. Thought Rose might have a crack at it but he has imploded. Plenty others and we are only half way.
he hasnt missed a putt..........hes not gonna putt like this for another 36 holes..........its far from over but tiger will still prob win
Ski, been asleep in the armchair after a long at Crufts. Only expected more because Tiger was leadly. It's only 1.7m now, just seems a far cry from the old days.
Did lay some Tiger @ 4.4. I've had the needle since yesterday because I forgot to back McDowell. Did move a bit more Tiger @ 3.2 onto McDowell @ 15.5. Not a good move at the time, but it's OK now. Stake back out of McDowell and greened it all up. Got three or four lurkers just off the pace. It's what to do with Tiger now, my mind says I ought to lay more and have him my worst winner.

Impressive from Tiger . Going to be hard to shift by the looks of things .
My typing is getting atrocious. Should read "long day at Crufts." and "Tiger was leading"
Keeshonds. My wife was in the breed for over 60 years. Can only claim 40 years. First year not had an entry at Cruft's since 1986. Today's claim to fame is that I was asked to put a necktie on the Best of Breed winner.
Not familiar with them , Quincy . Cant say I have seen too many this part of the world . Well done on the necktie . When do they announce the winners of the breeds ? We usually watch some coverage on TV , but haven't seen any so far . Must consult the schedules !
More4, 6.30. Moves to Channel for on Sunday for the Best in Show. Have a look at the North of England Keeshond Club website, Kelly.
No tober , my father used to have a lot way back in the forties , but I was only interested in backing dogs , not owning them . Spent a good while visiting those dogs when I was young , used to go every Sunday down to Mick Horans to see the dogs , and travel down to Tipp to pick up new dogs . Long time ago though .
Have spent a lot of time at Celtic , Dunmore , Shelbourne , and Tralee in my time .
Will check that out , Quincy . Looked them up , must need a lot of grooming !

@Kelly...I'm down in Tipp. Who did ye get young dogs from ?
Is the Ballinabola kennel still going? Christy Murphy? in ballinabola of course! Lots of dogs at Ennisc, had a few bred round that way..
@ Ski - turnover has been consistently down this year compared to last. Eddie the Eagle and Knight Rider leaving/doing less these days would have a lot to do with that I think.
Toberanna, might be over in Ireland for the dog show circuit later this year, if I can make arrangements for the three geriatrics I have at home.
Just for the stunning, at least talking about dogs has got half a page of posts on here.
Have decided to make Tiger my worst winner. Should give me more scope for trading tonight.

Good point Quincy
So who is the jolly in the Bernese Mountain Dog market??

Apologies to the golfers in our midst , thread took a different turn late last night after Tiger blew the field ( and prospects for a lot ) away . Bit of wind might concertina field again .
Tober , not sure where we were going in Tipp , I was very young at the time , might not even have been at school ( didn't go to primary school until I was 6 , and I was out of it by age 10 ) . Still meet Mick's son occasionally ( Mick trained Mick the Miller by the way to his first English Derby success ) , he might remember although he is younger than me .
Quincy , sounds like you have a good book on the Cadillac , and Tigers price now assures you of good opportunity for green ups if you choose . Have a good trip anyway whatever the outcome this time . Cheers .

Just to finish it up , Tober , only recollection re my fathers dogs was a leaning towards the "Tanist " line at that time . If that is a clue , so be it . My mother might also have some recollection , still on the ball in her nineties , but she was not into dogs ( except spending any associated profit ) , so unlikely , and my father never kept any cuttings etc , and both our premier tracks --Celtic and Dunmore --went to the wall years ago .
There was a publication a few years back about the Irish greyhound scene , my brother bought it for me , but I lent it to him and have not got it back yet . Mind you , two of my fathers mates won English Greyhound Derbys back then and that book had no write up on them , sad ommission , poor research . Crebilly men , coursing lines I suspect . Cheers .

the stunning, I'm not saying the judging is suspect, but it would probably depend on who is on the other end of the lead. Just had a look at the Best in Show market on here, total matched £0.00, available to back 7 for £10.00 @ 1.01. And we worry about liquidity!!!!
Liquidity on here is getting worse , especially in running . Guess its down to the fast pics/ scalpers activity . Thought there might have been some activity on the 2nd round leader market with all the good scoring , buttons on the market ( on either side ) . Laid Gmac myself for small , backed Tiger 1.01 , huge profit ( not ) . Think I was about 30% of the total market .
Since the lads migrated the only time there are decent markets are overnight and the majors . Rest of the time you would be scratching yourself most of the night looking for accomodation or value . And the European market is normally useless outside of Sundays . Cant see any reversal though with current criteria in vogue .

Wonder will the liquidity grow at some stage,or is it just a dead market quincy?
On a different subject i see the Royal baby market is predicting a baby girl for Kate,is there inside info here i wonder?
Elizabeth must be very strong fav if its a girl,can see Diana getting a middle name maybe.

33/1 Prince Harry's next girlfriend to have grey hair.Bit short i would have thought that.
You can get 250/1 on the child been called Wallis.Seems decent odds with the Scottish connection and all.

Was looking at Purple - laddies appear to be seeding the exchange with their sportsbook prices on the 2 balls.
Will the market be voided completely? Am concerned as I have laid Tiger, looking to back him back at slightly bigger price.
Betfair - please could you provide us CUSTOMERS with some information?

Absolute miracle. Doing my money before the suspension. Switched on again. Fluked laying 4 in-running @ 1.71, and 1 and a bit @ 1.05 in the 4.30 at Gowran Park. Retiring for the dat with a small profit. I'm out on ajolly tonight, so good luck with your golf bets.
afternoon gentlemen, anyone know if the course if its widy at the course today? Haf a look at a few forceasts for Miami area, they seem to differ from 10-21kmph.
I'm on Stricker and Bradley at 17 and 19 respectively. Going to let it play out to the end this week, not a trading week for me.

Bradley has got to start holing a few putts soon. 1 putt over 9ft in his last 6 rounds.
you think Westwood is bad, try backing Fowler in a 2 ball.
he is a car crash.
he is a car crash.
Hope McDowell can keep the pressure on. Will enjoy watching Woods struggle.
GMAC is one golfer who isnt scared to go head to head with Tiger.
In fact he loves it.
In fact he loves it.
Gmac in the zone now. I agree with you aber, if you look at Gmacs major record last year, he loves the big occasion. He will be loving this experience. A head to head versus an in form Tiger in the last group, is what its all about.
Charl is getting into contention as well.
getting interesting.
getting interesting.
Show is over. Agreed Merlin7. Wait for the Masters price to drop now.
will he get more than 5 minutes to look for it ? as in go get a ladder and identify? lol
i assume it would be just like looking for a ball normally even though they know where it is
How was that ball identified it was 10 yards up a tree
couldnt see the line on ball from ground, it was in a cuppy bit of tree. i bet they say used a tv camera and seen it
tiger didnt see the TV camera even if they did use it...........its the player that should identify his own ball and he didnt...
there was an official there, so im guessing he said we know its your ball in tree, so tiger dropped.... not right if thats the case but because it was a ref he will get away with it
The official asked Tiger to confirm his mark, the mark was apparently visible. Is this normal protocol?
By the way the 54 hole putting stat this week is Tigers best ever in his career. Incredible.

on the tv you could see a line on the ball,it is hardly conclusive proof really. but official probably got told on walkie that it is that ball so if it has line on it gotta be tigers. i dunno really, seems bit wrong to me
No big deal,clearly he could see the mark on the ball.
The way he has played the last 3 days is as good i have seen in years,looking unstoppable.

No big deal the rules of golf don't apply to tiger

close to 3m matched now, that's well up on most tourneys last year
WGC events always have bigger turnover than other events, and tournaments where Tiger leads have big turnover too. I don't bet in play so the figures I have are for before the tournament starts.
I would say that turnover pretty good since the inception of premium charges. With B e t d a q taken over by Laddie perhaps betfair will be forced to change their charging structure and do away with premium charges......would the big players be back in here again?
i'm thinking bubba a big big @ 33/1 W/O woods any1 agree?
had a punt anyway cheers
had a punt anyway cheers
A couple of bogies from Wood at the start would be very pleasing.......from the viewing point of view. Can't abide a boring Sunday.
i always like the way they say course playing much harder based on the finished scores when those guys have been shooting the same poor scores the other days ...
The average score will be higher for the early starters compared to their previous 3 rounds.
yes so they say.. been sleeping in the same bed for a while.. Happy and content and he is raping the field
Tiger should play 1 handed from here on in!! Shot this course to pieces.
Some commentators thought Tiger might have found trouble in the trees !
he is back to his crushing best..unreal and totally dominant..
If only Gmac could putt. should start hanging with Stricker as well.
I bet stricker regrets giving him putting advice now haha
@pokemon.... did you manage any profit from Adam Scott's high finish ? Me, I'm going to end up + €25 overall. Never really got involved. Backing and laying but little happening. Learning a bit for The Masters.
