So sports fans, who is going to win and where is your money going?

I see Paddy Power are paying EW on 6 places and money back on losers if Tiger wins.
 
Just for fun, I've had a punt on Harrington to be leading after R1 @ 80/1

Initial stabs are (both E/W) Donald and Sang-Moon Bae
 
I want Tiger Woods to win. I want him to beat the record on majors as players like this don't come along very often and as a sports fan you like to see players like this do what they do when they are on another level to everybody else. Same with Federer and Messi. Also happy to see he is starting to come out the other side of his troubles in the past few years, but for which he would surely have overtaken Nicklaus by now.
 
I've had far too many bets in this (15 altogether).

My biggest winner will be Angel Cabrera who I backed at 150-1 on Thursday (best priced 100-1 now). He seems to be playing himself into some form and usually comes alive at the Masters (7th last year and winner in 2009).

KJ Choi (70-1), Trevor Immelman (125-1), Padraig Harrington (100-1) and Zach Johnson (125-1) are some of the higher priced ones I've backed.

Also done E Molinari (250-1), K Bradley (40-1), J Wagner (150-1), B Haas (100-1) and P Hanson (175-1).

I've backed Tiger and Donald at lower prices but they're no more than 'savers'.

Like you, I've done most of my bets to be 1st round leader as well! :)

Don't mind losing money this week. One of the best sporting events of the year for me.

Tiger to win @ 6.2 - large bet for me!

Top 5

Sergio Garcia @ 13
K.J. Choi @ 13.5
Keegan Bradley @ 7.2
Hunter Mahan @ 7.2
Mark Wilson @ 38

All on betfair so will see if any early movers and take some profits if I can.

Can't wait - 3D and HD - BRING IT ON!
 
I would like to see Rory getting in the same position as last year, and see how he handles it this time round.

Not sure of the hype surrounding Tiger to be honest.
 
Like to see one of the Brits win TBH. Don't think I'll get to watch much this year because it's not on the Beeb for the first 2 rounds and I'm working nights for the last 2 rounds when it's on the Beeb. :(

Had a couple of E/W bets myself;

Stricker @ 45/1
McDowell @ 60/1

All very safe to be fair :)

Why? It's actually the perfect time since his odds have shortened meaning you would have a smaller liability should he win.

Profits are terrible and not worth the risk. If I was to lay him it would be if he was winning going into the last. Don't know why I just think he'll crack if he's leading into the final round even with his experience.
