Imada (-125) vs Quinney

Kaymer (-120) vs Weir

Making a lot of plays this weekend, but I gotta go all out for the British. I wanted to fade Mickelson, but didn't find a matchup I liked. Was looking for either Stenson or Westwood, but only saw Garcia and Els who I both see struggling a bit also. Hoping for a good weekend, but will have to wake up very early to watch this. I think first tee off is around 2:00 am EST thursday morning, which sucks.

Good luck.

Gotta add two 3 ball plays after seeing the lines.

Finch (+135) vs Daly and Taniguchi

I love to fade Daly, even against this competition. I expect a good outing by Finch.

Singh (-120) vs Mahan and Saxton

Saxton is pretty much already out of the picture, and I like the odds for Singh against just Mahan. If you can fade an American at pretty much even odds against a good euro you have to take that bet IMO.

OTK · Jul 17, 2008

British Open: 1-1 (+0.15 units)

Finch wins his round, but Singh end with a +10 and surprisingly only lost by 1 stroke to, again surprisingly, Saxton (was +800 to win the 3 ball). I'm happy with a split though since I'm still positive units.

Rose (+4) vs Harrington (+4)- Tied

Allenby (-1) vs Montgomerie (+3)- Up 4 Strokes

Scott (E) vs Furyk (+1)- Up 1 Strokes

Westwood (+5) vs Els (+10)- Up 5 Strokes

McDowell (-1) vs Leonard (+7)- Up 8 Strokes

Imada (+7) vs Quinney (+9)- Up 2 Strokes

Stenson (+6) vs Jimenez (+2)- Down 4 Strokes

Kaymer (+5) vs Weir (+1)- Down 4 Strokes

Pretty good first round for my bets, but things can change very quickly on this coarse. I should have faded Mickelson like I wanted, but the only matchups I could find unfortunately were Els and Garcia.

Rose (+18) vs Harrington (+4)- Down 14 Strokes

Allenby (+8) vs Montgomerie (+12)- Up 4 Strokes

Scott (+11) vs Furyk (+8)- Down 3 Strokes

Westwood (+17) vs Els (+13)- Down 4 Strokes

McDowell (+12) vs Leonard (+10)- Down 2 Strokes

Kaymer (+16) vs Weir (+11)- Down 5 Strokes

Terrible third round for my guys. Just so tough to stay consistent with the weather the way it is. Guys that had an 8 stroke lead for me are now down by a couple strokes. It could easily go my way in the final round though. I wouldn't say any of my bets are completely out of it except for Rose. 5 Strokes is not a huge deal at this coarse. Going to play a few 4th round plays also.

Harrington (-230) vs Norman

Choi (-185) vs Wakefield

Casey (-120) vs Poulter

Labelle II (-120) vs Wood

Field wins British Open (-400) vs Norman [2 units to win .50 units]
