you cant do bets for fun on here

Fowler starting to blow out, and to be honest I can't argue with that. I'm patiently waiting at 70s, so hopefully he keeps on going.

It doesn't look like Tiger will drift any time soon, which is unusual for a Major. Still, there are plenty of big boys laying this week so we may see a small drift at some point.

I get the feeling Rory is going to be backed heavily between now and the off. Wouldn't surprise me if he starts closer to 25s than 30s, but seeing as I am hoping to back at 32s I hope I'm wrong.

Personally Els looks like cracking value at 36s, and it looks like about $10K just matched there. Good luck to that backer!

At longer odds I like Tim Clark and Richie Ramsay.

You should expect to see about 110 guys tipped Mr X - because that's how many guys are being backed

Have backed bjorn and els pre tournie.

going to add the following kuchar, fowler, quiros and 550s yeah we can hope, kaymer and manassero. tempted to back woods e/w havnt looked at the prices bookies r going or how many places yet though

Hazel Irvine presents a look ahead to the Open Championship from Muirfield, one of the oldest golf clubs in the world. The East Lothian course hosted the first of its 15 previous Opens in 1892

Just backed Martin Kaymer to beat Podge Harrington in a match bet cant believe they are both 10/11

Finally Kuchar odds falling............

Seems a bit slow on here at the minute, anyways for what it's worth my team to start with is: DJ,Snedeker,Colsaerts,Fowler,Kuchar,Day (at the stage now where I have backed him in the last few majors and can't bear to miss out - even tho I hate sentimental bets) and small bits on Vijay and Bourdy.

Something is telling me Tiger,Tiger,Tiger..... Hope for financial reasons I'm wrong but if this plays like Hoylake and that putter starts to fire it'll be a long weekend for the layers.

usually back tiger but can not go near him in a major coming of an injury and his recent few starts

Phil now the same price as he was last week and McDowell 9 points shorter than he was for the French a fortnight ago when very,very few of this lot played.Looks a fair place to start.

It is.If I remember correctly someone on the thread new the snooker announcer Alan Hughes who was mates with Willie.

Layers fearless today, just had another bite at Phil at 19.5, should have held for 20's though.

Rhyl,N.Wales.Willie used to attend Pontins down the road every year.The in-house books (Corals I think back then) must have had it bang off that week.

Is Phil's odds getting too low now.....much tougher field compare to last week.

can a breeze help a golfer links course rather than no wind?

Might aswell just pick a name out of the hat out of the top 100 in the odds.

ime laying lefty.

I would lay Phill on the basis he wont find it to recover here from his guarenteed waywar shots and that winning the Scottish then the Open isnt likely, I once had a hefty double on Lehman to do the double, he duly won the Scottish and I would have been a gazzilionaire if he won the Open, he played well and a few times I checked the net for how much it was to buy my own island, but in the end it didnt happen !

Have read the foregoing 14 pages with interest.  Have gone with what I saw with my own eyes over the weekend.  Jordan Speith.  Fearless, has ability and carries a bit of luck.  Good luck with yours.

hope the winners among this lot,no yanks...rose,mcdowell,scott,mcilroy,els,garcia,westwood,donald,day..best of luck e/one.
