I always watch the masters and will probably bet some head to head matchups.

I can careless about the masters. Someone who's name I never even
heard of before will put on the green jacket. But respect anyone who
does, just putting my 2 cents. Hey isn't a just penny for my thoughts?

i watched it last year, will watch it again, but never put a bet.

Woods finishing in top 3 position(ties included) +100 seems ok?

I like Tiger to win but Vijay is my darkhorse.

I'll watch on Sunday. How much I watch will depend on how close it is.

The thing I like about the Masters (and all the golf majors) is the battle of nerves. I remember times when you could see guys shaking as they were standing over their putts. I find it fascinating to see who folds and who rises to the occasion. I don't need to bet on it to be interested.

That's why I am so amazed by Tiger Woods. The guy thrives on pressure.

The Masters has produced some thrilling finishes in recent years (most notably to Canadians, Mike Weir's victory in extra holes in 2003).

José Maria Olazabal This is my long shot to finish in the top 3!


1 09/04/2006 US Masters 2006 (Outright Winner) Jose Maria Olazabal 26.00 5 places 1/4 odds

This is a good bet, it gives you a legit 26-1 live dog and pays 6.5-1 if he finshes 2-5.

As far as the Bet jamacai is concerned ... there is no masters on this year. Can you believe that?? No betting for the Masters ... amateurs.

I hear ya Nat ! Some books just don't like the summer sports. If you are a Pinny/ Jamaica player and don't have a Bet365 you will miss some excellent summer sports wagering.

That's a pretty good price for Singh. I think I'll play a unit on this one.
