I've just placed 5 bets....

[EnglishGolfer]

..... each one picking the winner of 25 of the opening 3 balls on day one of the US Open, OK so thats is nothing special you might think. Even less exciting i that fact that I have only bet 10pence on each of the bets so that's about a quarter to most of you......... but here is the really good bit....... each one returns in excess of £10million one even goes up to £115m as I've gone with Woods not to be the best in his 3 ball.

Not much chance of any return but for 10p it's well worth it just for the giddyness I'm feeling right now in anticipation.

If one of them comes in I might treat myself to a ST mug

You have to pick all 25 correct to get the big money?

Yes pls elaborate about your wager. I am clueless as to what you are talking about...

[EnglishGolfer]

For 25 of the 41 opening three balls I have picked who I think will be the lowest scorer on day one for each grouping e.g:

13:06 Tiger Woods 8/15 R.Ramsay 10/1 Geoff Ogilvy 7/4
Tiger Woods.

18:58 Charles Howell 9/4 J.Rose 6/4 S.O`Hair 6/4
Justin Rose etc etc

It's exceptionally unlikely to come in (hence the payout) and what makes it even more improbable is the fact that each of my chosen players has to be the clear winner of their group, no ties.

Got it...thanks.

You wanna give us all your picks so we can see how you did?

Also it is interesting that they would permit such a small wager. You've bet well less than an English pound?

What's the smallest amount they will allow you to wager??

On accumulator bets such as this you can bet as little as one penny!
