[The Insider]

Hass has never finished in the top 10 of a major I'd be wanting more than any 80/1 on him, Jim Furyk at the same price has a better chance.

I'm not going by his major form but he has been on form on the tour, 6 top 10 finishes, won the fed-ex in 2011 and the Trust in 2012 and has won on tour every year for the last 3. Hass is on form at the moment Furyk is also a decent bet as is Watson at 40s.

Worth mentioning Hass beat Furyk in the Trust this year and out of 7 tour starts Hass has finished top 5 once and top ten 5 as opposed to Fuyrks 5 starts which yield 1 top 4 and 2 top tens.

Majors are a completely different beast to your PGA tour event.

I agree but Hass has only entered 2 or maybe 3 before so to make an assesment on him from that doesn't give the full picture does it, a lot can change in a year or two. Hey he's 80/1 and he's that price for a reason, but given his form over the tour and how he has played and finished he's not a bad shout and for the sake of a score I'd throw him n EW with the other 80/1 picks. I can't really say anymore about it, if someone throws me an 80/1 shot and gives me a good enough reason to back it I ain't gonna moan if he trip bogies each of the first 9. You takes your pick....

[Hagler2002]

I'm not sure what you're getting on your high horse about!

All I said was I thought 80/1 about a bloke who has played 13 majors and doesn't have have a top 10 finish was a touch short

That is MY OWN personal opinion.

Hey no problem, just though I'd try and share my logic.

Rigondaux 12-5 to beat donaire, thoughts?

That's a very good price, he's more than capable of outboxing Donaire imo.

[Deno1986]

Cardiff to beat Barnsley tonight @ 4/6 seems to be a solid enough bet.

...until Barnsley decide to score in the last few seconds.

Unbelievably that's the 4th time this season Cardiff have let me down when playing at home. I get the bloody message!

Rigondeaux stoppage, 11/2 anyone?
Those body shots are nasty as fcuk.

I think Tiger will win the Masters, but not backing him at that price.
I'm going to look at Cabrera and Westwood and one or two more.

Rigondaux 12-5 to beat donaire, thoughts?

Priced about right imo. Rigondeaux is up against it in this one and is taking on one of the most solid Champions in the world imo. I can't actually see Rigondeaux beating Nonito on points. It's not beyond him, but it would need a huge effort and if anything a stoppage victory is actually more likely. Im tempted at Rig stoppage at 11/2 for a fun bet but I think Donaire will have too much will take wide points or late stoppage. Either way it'll be a cracking fight. Good luck though

16/1 on Mickleson?! Where'd you get that? The biggest I have seen over the past few days is 14/1.

Jason Day EW bet. Tiger outright

Mumbai to win today in the IPL and Chennai to win tomorrow. The double pays 1.77 which I think is about 7/4. I think they should both win. Good Luck if you fancy it.

well done if anyone took it. just under 7/4

Cheers, Schwartzel also looked good after recovering from +3 after 3 holes Mickleson also played some nice stuff and seems to be striking it very well.

No, just the win, I did back some others at crazy prices on Betfair, Kaymer @ 230's Zach Johnson @ 200's Yang @ 300's epic prices on former Major winner. Had a few quid on Jason Day who also looked pretty solid.

All in all it was a good day for my runners but come the weekend when they trick it up not many will be left up there.

Cabrera going ok. Going to back the Rigo stoppage, and maybe double it with Matt Kuchar for a "face spitter"!

Had £50 on Rigondeaux by tko/ko at 11/2
£50 on tiger at 4/1 ( had a few small each way top 6 places on, Adam Scott, Matt kuchar, Steve stricker, and Jason Dufner !
And my dark horse was £50 on Audley Harrison to beat Deontay Wilder at 11/2 !
I've got to win something

[MR T]

I think alcine to beat Rose at 11/4 is a great price.
