Did anyone notice someone put up around £8k to back Castro at 2.42 around 7pm last night. I'm guessing this may have been someone thinking it was the final round, and hadn't appreciated there were still 2 rounds to be played due to the weather delays. For a short time I thought it may have been someone with advance information that the comp was going to be shortened to 54 holes, but at the time Sky were clear that it was going to go the extra day and the weather forcast was good so it would be completed Monday. Maybe I was wrong in my interpretation of the odds, and 2,4 (ish) was the right price for someone 4 clear at the halfway mark...but surely not someone like Castro who is looking for his first win. The other noticeable thing was the overround that was constantly around 150% to 160% whilst this was all taking place. Laid a bit myself at 2.42 but was concerned it seemed to be too good to be true. Long experience here has taught me that if the price looks too be good...it usually is.

Is coverage really not on until 7.30pm? Will almost be over by then wont it? Good luck djx
|
|
By:
Yeah, there's only going to be about 2 hours of coverage. Infuriating stuff with the putter from DJ.

By:
yes hes gone now missed 6ft on 18 th for birdie 6ft on first for birdie and 5ft on 2nd for par...
|
|
By:
eagle putt of 22ft would be nice if he sinks it lol
|
|
By:
Yup, he's killing a nice payday for both of us, frustrating.
|
|
By:
Just had 22 feet for eagle, 3 feet for birdie, and made par. I think we can write this one off.
|
|
By:
lets hope boss how much you got him for?
|
|
By:
strange cos hes putted quite well all week
|
|
By:
Didn't get the prices you got but lumped on at 100 for a potential 15k. Although the potential is diminishing rapidly.
|
|
By:
yep with no real chance to lay off now
|
|
By:
Another 8 footer gone, this is spectacular. If he wasn't aiming you'd think one would've gone in by chance by now.
|
|
By:
not like he aint been around for years albeit done nothing on main tour in recent years i just though course form would be the key..no early xmas present now
|
|
By:
so many still with a chance
|
|
By:

Why is the PGA turnover well back on the European tour events for some weeks now. I know there is a posse of talent coming from the web.com every season. This year is no different. Just the major players seem to be deliberately excluding these fine tournaments from their programme. Would have been a perfect course and conditions for Shane Lowery. Maybe he will read this and post his reasoning on his Facebook page, which , by the way, is a fine page to add to your FB if you are into that sort of stuff.

The fall events are always less. This one has been a bit of a nightmare with the delays and lack of coverage.
|
|
By:
Well, that petered out quickly
|
|
By:
One of these days a 1000 shot will hole out from the fairway and I'll be rich.

impressive final four holes for malnati sees there is another hot young thing every week.
