OT: The Masters

What part of STOP didn't you two understand?
 
No star power at the top. Big dud.

So like $20 on 3 guys at different prices to win, maybe $20 on a fourth and have $20 left to "live" bet the event? Is the juice from betting Top 10 or Top 20 finishes not worth the squeeze?

Before The Masters, if I was going to bet it, I was thinking maybe more of something like this and would love to know your thoughts.

30% on the amount on 3 different guys to win (in the odds ranges you mentioned)
50% on top 10 finishes, my 3 "to win" bets and 2 other guys who would be potential dark horse winners
20% on top 20 finishes, probably on a couple of guys who would give a decent payout at the price (+300 or better)

BTW I didn't bet anywhere close to $100 (what I was using as a hypothetical above) on Phil to win. I didn't feel like putting in the research to place bets on the strategy I was outlining above, but woke us this morning and wanted a little action on a storyline that would be fun to see on Sunday if it were to happen haha.

I might give your system a shot. Currently, I enter three $5 Draft King lineups every week, and I am in a yearlong $50 One and Done pool, and a yearlong $125 Draft King lineup pool. Additionally, I will occasionally bet tournament and round matchups, and the occasional to-win bet. For the Masters and any event I attend (the Travelers and the Norther Trust) I usually up my amounts. Maybe next year instead of the lineup pool and matchup bets I will experiment with the win/top 10/top 20 idea. However, as you alluded to, the prices for top 10/20 are usually really low. For example, if a golfer is 60-1 to win the tourney, sometimes their top 20 price will be like 4-1, and top 10 will be like 2-1. For favorites, like DJ this week - he went off at like 10-1 to win the tourney, but was -500 to top 20 (in other terms, risk 5 to win 1).

Well Justin Rose just went on a big run. Might tie biggest 1st round lead in Master's history.

Tied for biggest first round lead - last time was in the 1940s if I heard and remembered correctly.
 
Finding fairways and having good angles have become important this week due to the firmness of the greens. Good to see it’s not mindless golf

Man this is some harsh stuff. Pulling for Ancer now.

I hate golf and the high def slow mo replay after the fact.

I also hate golfers hovering over the ball for an eternity before they start their swing.

It also penalizes players who are in the lead or of high viewer interest as more of their shots have cameramen on them than the ham and eggers who fill out the field. High vis, invitationals like the Master's puts all of them under the microscope.
 
Should be an interesting day. Rose going out early -7, 4 strokes up on 2nd place had a chance to put intense pressure on the field. So far, +1 through 4 holes though.
 
Good for Justin Rose. One of the nice guys on the tour.

And he's got Mizuno MP20's in his bag 😁

Last year I was all over Morikawa. Pimples him going in to Traveler's and he missed his first cut ever.

He recovered by winning PGA. He's a stud. Three months ago aI would have invested in Scott Scheffler but he's did money now.

I like the Latin and Mexican players right now - Ortiz, Ancer, etc are doing well.

The Ortiz comeback starts now

Was trying to watch outside on my deck during lunch and instead it was just a bunch of guys talking and showing guys on the range. Just show the golfers that are out there. Especially before the cut.

Augusta National controls coverage more than any other place on tour. They only allow so much live TV for the event so the mornings on Thursday and Friday are 'Live from Augusta' with no actual coverage.

That said, ESPN's live afternoon coverage really sucks compared to CBS or the Golf Channel. They are not good at it.

If you have DirecTV, you can get live 4k coverage of Amen Corner on 105 or 15&16 on 106.
 
Interesting day and good to see the leaderboard get compressed. 19 guys within 6 shots of the leader going into Saturday. Plenty of good names at the top of the leaderboard. Zalatoris continues to impress. Jordan, Finau, JT, Xander, Bryson and so many other good players right there.

Moving day should be a lot of fun tomorrow. Hopefully the storms hold off until the round gets finished.

Still good with my picks of Justin Thomas winning and Spieth being in the final group on Sunday.

First instinct is always best, as they say... and I should've stuck with Reed instead of switching to DJ at the last minute. Rest of my foursome is killing it.

Valid method whittling down the field. I will say that Zalatoris kid is going to be a human ATM. Nice game overall. He's got to get a bit more accurate with the driver and putt better to win, but good iron players can cash top-15 checks week in and week out.

I don't expect Zalatoris to win but he's cashing a big check this week.

He's long and lanky like Ernie Els, Vijay, Webb Simpson, Kuchar, etc.

He doesn't need to crank his back and torso to be long. Easy does it.
 
Just saw a highlight of Rory McElroy hitting a shot from some rough. He had to yell, "RIGHT!!!" The ball hit his dad on the fly.
 


The concept of still having to sign a scorecard during a major tournament in 2021 seems so antiquated. The fact that he screwed it up is even worse.
