notes

- Lee Westwood is recovering from injury and may have to be replaced on the EUR roster

- The Twenty Ten Course opened in July 2007

- EUR needs to earn 14 points to retain the Cup, USA needs to earn 14.5 points to win the Cup

in before ntnBO disparaging insults towards ligastar/OP

go jimenez go USA

lol


Can't wait.

Only when it's deserving, not in this case.

BO

I love the US at +170

This isn't right is it? USA won the last one so they only need 14 points to retain the Cup.

Ooops. You are correct. Missed that when I proofed it.

+1. It's idle speculation but I do wonder how close to +200 the line would have been if Pavin hadn't picked Tiger.

Lol USA.

Going to get slayed in Wales

I'd love to make a wager with PS being my payout if I lose...I would take payment on FT or PS if I win.

hey get it fixed. Ill do that iwth you. I wanna bet on US tho.

Great, only problem is I stated I love the US at +170....Thus, we would struggle to book a wager if you too want to wager on the US

ahahha didnt read that. Well did, but i never look at who actually posts stuff

i don't have any money on gambling sites, so ill take the euros i suppose....whats my line? -180 then?

oh nm, i just give you +170 then its fine fright?

I was here earlier in the summer. The 2010 course is laid out in this giant valley that slopes up on all sides and make a natural bowl like 2 miles across. It's really visually awesome-looking, will hold in crowd noise a bit, and will be just totally cool for spectators. When I was driving in down this really steep hill I could imagine spectators lined up on the ropes, but also sitting way up on the hills watching the tiny groups moving around on the course with crowd roars going up in different places in the valley.

for the first time, all 24 Ryder Cup participants are in the top 50 of the OWGR.

Jim Furyk in the anchor match on Sunday?

BO

Gotta love the papers here (not really). They never miss an opportunity to have a go

Is there a book running on how many waitresses and bargirls Tiger will sleep with while in Wales ?

I think the US will lose...but it's match play with professionals, the edge Euros have is so small.

OK, time for you EUROs to start putting your money where you mouth is.

I'm looking to bet $50 USD on the USA to win using the current Betfair lines. In other words if the USA wins you owe me $90 and if EUR wins I owe you $37. A tie will result in a push and no money exchanging hands.

Don't PM but reply in this thread so we can see which EURO wants to step up.

Funny question from a European reporter at the Tiger press conference today.

Reporter - "Tiger, you don't win majors anymore, you don't win regular tournaments anymore, and you are about to be deposed as world number one by a lot of Europeans and possibly Phil Mickelson, is the Ryder Cup now the most important thing on your agenda now you are almost an ordinary golfer?"

*Laughter Everywhere including Tiger

Tiger - "I remember you were the one after me at the British open, so I hope you're having a good week"

*Laughter Everywhere.

Reporter - "Thanks for your answer"

Host - "Next question" Points to another reporter.

Other Reporter - "Sorry he took my question"

Euro here, don't think you'll find any posts by me thrashing the American team. I know the big bookmakers are much better at betting lines than I am, but I still completely fail to see how they can favor the European team as much as they are. So no, I'm not going to take your bet
