    Speaking of "mired", I get near the $300 mark, and then the chit hits the fan. I can't seem to break thru it.

    You got some serious discipline

    I deposit when I want to bet, when I win I immediately withdraw it

    My buddy gives me a hard time saying there is no reason why I shouldn't have money in my account at all times, I laugh and say if I did it would be in play lol

    I never had a sports betting account. Never will. And with horse betting I had a phone account, but it's too easy. Now I only play sports,horses at the local casino. If I can't get there so be it. Sure, I wish at times I had a phone account as I missed some winners, but missed a lot of losing bets as well. It's good. I found my balance point.

    My cash-out value for Scottie is 90%, which would be a 10% loss.

    Frankly I'm tempted to take it, and be done with the bet. Just a bad feeling that Scottie is going to phone it in tomorrow. Hope I'm wrong, especially since I don't know chit about golf handicapping. 🤷‍♂️

    May as well be 500 to 1, it ain't gonna happen. Those odds that seem to look juicy, are to suck-in lottery ticket players. That bet may be even worse than a lottery ticket.

    Yes, I don't know chit about golf handicapping, I admit it. However I do know math, and 50-1 isn't even close to what the real odds should be. When books offer this ridiculous losing chit, it certainly helps pay for their large yachts.

    I place my golf wagers the day before play begins. Regardless of how my picks do or are doing, I let it ride throughout. I never chase once the tournament begins. If I miss the cut it's wait until next week.

    Scottie starts off the day with a birdie. However so did everyone else.

    But in theory at least Scottie's head is in the game. There's hope, I think. 🤔

    Scottie tearing 'em up out there. The above may turn out to be the worst call of all time. 😂

    That'd be fine with me. My T20 on Scottie is in the bag. 😎

    Scottie just one shot off the lead.

    If he wins, it would be a comeback for the ages.

    Interesting that Scottie is in 4th place, down by two strokes, thru 16

    The three others have four or five holes to play.

    Yet Scottie is now 70-1 odds to win.

    Interesting again - Scottie jumped to 250-1 a few minutes ago. Now down to 80-1

    I'm not following it closely as the holes are being played, but he must be having a good 18th hole so far.

    Only bring it up because there may be some interesting live value in these golf tournies. I mean if you're in at 250-1, and the odds are now 80-1, might be some good cash-out profit, if they allow cash-outs at this late stage?

  • Options
    stevekstevek Posts: 32,510 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Holy chit - I think Scottie eagled the 18th hole? He's now finished at T1

    Odds were 20-1 after that happened. In a flash now down to 13-1

    Four way tie for first. The problem is the three other players have a number of holes left with birdie opportunities. Gonna be a tough win for Scottie, figuring all three will just shoot par golf at this point, or worse. Then of course, Scottie would need to win a playoff if it's still tied at 18.

    I still wouldn't make the bet on Scottie to win this, but of course stranger things have happened.

    missed out on a dead heater by one stroke. i wouldnt have won anything, but i would have gotten almost all of my original 175 back...........165

    win some, lose some

    wait, win some, lose more.......thats more like it

    so glad someone on this thread finally won some money on Scheffler........the guy didnt win, but for the 2nd consecutive week he spotted the field 5 touchdowns after round 1 and scared the hell out of everyone on Sunday. he's a ridiculous human being. he made 3 freaking eagles today. if i was i gazillionaire i'd put 10k on him to finish T10 every tournament......and i would have won my last 19 bets. someone out there is making a killing off of him.

    onward...

    stevekstevek Posts: 32,510 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Easy to think of it now after the fact. But I wonder if some books allow player props such as eagles per round or tourney?

    Wouldn't have minded at all having Scottie 2+ eagles today for a very nice score. I say "only" 2+ because 3+ is beyond my imagination to place that bet.

    Coody was a non factor. McNealy faded. Henley salvaged a top 20. Not enough to cover the total bet. Great scenery st Pebble.

    The NBA and apparently NHL are on break, the NBA is ridiculous, they had that stupid tournament a couple months back and now they are on break, they must stretch the season out pretty good

    Took a close look at that NC vs NC State game, especially because the line looked way off. No surprise upon further inspection that the leading and second leading scorers for NC are both out. None of the other players are that close to them. But I think getting +8 is a very interesting play on a 16th ranked team, against an unranked team in a same state rivalry.

    I'm passing on the game due to the uncertainty, but hopefully the other NC players can step-up for ya.

    i was banking on the in-state rivalry factor to keep things competitive

    and i thought a power program like NC would have depth beyond their top two players

    after the first half, apparently neither one is the case

    i sure wish someone would tell me when a team is going to shoot 25% from the field & 6% from downtown before it actually happens

    That was some gross stuff, after I saw your bet I was keeping an eye on it and was disgusted that a ranked NC team would get slapped around like that especially by an unranked in state rival

    Two of those NC starters played like dogs with fleas. Stats that would get ya cut from a high school team. Shameful performance from both of them.

    If they had played just average basketball, the +8 covers.
