H_B Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Two good bets I think this evening... John Daly to win WGC event - 3/1 Daly has been playing great all three days and isnt afraid to win, even against Tiger (who is 7/4 favourite) A shot clear of Monty and 2 clear of the Tiger and the pack. I think a 2 under 68 will be enough to win and I think he can do it. 3/1 is value IMO. Pays me £100 for my £25. American Football double :- Atlanta v New England (10/11) Detroit (-1) v Baltimore (10/11) I think New England will be a good go against team in the next few weeks. The Atlanta line of "pick em" is based in their reputation of last year and the year before. Dangerous to count out a champion team, but I think Atlanta are young enough and hungry enough to win this one. Baltimore have struggled this season and their defence has looked poor. Thats their only weapon. Detroit have a lot of talent at their disposal and again I think their unfashionable status has resulted in a value spread. A £25 double will pay me just over £91.

H_B Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Atlanta lose to a last second field goal and John Daly loses in a play off after missing putts of 4 feet and 2 feet (no really, it was 2 feet) in his last 4 holes. Thats why bookies are rich and I am not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a cowboys fan and really fancied us to beat the eagles so stuck money on them 708053[/snapback] Fair enough - I know that not everyone who says they won after the event hasnt! I was going to take the Cowboys on the handicap if my first double had came in - always works out that way! Its just what stopped me reading the Betfair forums for one. 1) No one ever lost, or if they were losing, they managed to "trade" their way out of it. Lot of bollocks. 2) You were always guaranteed after any event to find a raft of boys who backed the winner for 1,000 of pounds, but just forgot to post it beforehand, conveniently. Not having a go at you, but I'd introduce a no aftertiming rule on the gambling threads. If you dont post your picks before an event starts, dont post them at all!

Cityfan Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I know what you mean, theres been cases on here when people have said after that they've money and you think "aye sure". I would've posted before the games what i had on last night, but NFL betting hasnt been mentioned much before so i didnt think anyone would really take much notice. Also had a Falcons/Cowboys double which didnt win. Fancy the Steelers +3 tonight at evens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Vick would have steered Atlanta home. Good call on Detroit though - i fancied the Ravens for this one with their defence. As for Daly............the wild thing just blew up!!

In the end Shaub played quite well, but the Pats were worthy winners. When Daly bogeyed the 17th, missing a 4 foot putt to do so, I knew he would lose. It was just a question of when Tiger took him in the play off. Didnt expect him to 3 putt from 15 feet though nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandbairn Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I was all set to put money on the Patriots after Tom Brady's outburst last Wednesday... but thought it was a 4:15 game rather than a 1:00 game. I'm currently deciding whether to stay up for tonights game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
