Yang’s odds were 60 to 1, McIlroy was 20 to 1, before it started. I’ve never bet on golf, my most recent trip to vegas was my first time even in the sports book, since it was the middle of march madness, I never ventured out of the basketball area. I love the horse races, I guess golf is just a big horse race with 100+ horses. Well my picks were doing well at about the midway point, but they all seem to stumble on the back 9. It’s still early, 3 more days to go, hopefully 3 of them will make the cut.
I’m not sure if this link changes its numbers, because I know they odds change, especially after the cut, not sure if they let you bet after each day. I wonder if they have exactas or trifectas, it must be lottery like payoffs. Just think, $10 on Yang pays $600, Yang is an easy $10. I think McIlroy will eventually finish a tourney, he’s young and he’s good. The open and the courses they usually use often reward consistency, the average age of the winner is 32, McCilroy’s history and the history of the open seem to work against him for this event, but at some point he’s going to add the last element he’s been missing, finishing. The local indian casinos need to get approval to add sports books, they have everything else. Golf betting seems so slow paced, far less than horse racing or blackjack and those are legal.
I’m still in my low 40’s and now I’m talking odds about golf, could this be the signal that I’ve begun andropause? Maybe I should just go buy a buick and get it over with.
