Just wandering if any of you have a little bet from time to time and how do you go about picking a contender.

I am assuming you mean for a golf tourney. My golf league, there is a group of us who have a fantasy golf league going on. Every week you get to pick a player and you will be awarded their winnings for the week. Everyone ponied up $40 at the start of the year, winner take all. For majors we throw in $5 and we pick players from the top 50 in the rankings. It is a blind draw, with one of the picks being "The Field", so if someone from outside the top 50 wins you get it.

That's not a bad way to earn a few £££ eh? - Good stuff!

It's fun, gives you someone different to cheer for each week. I have learned a lot about different players over the past couple of years doing this.

How about you, ever throw down some coin on a match?

Me? - Sure! - But only small amounts (like 2-£3 etc etc)

Not really had any big wins, as you well know picking the winner is very difficult!

But it does make watching the tournaments even more exciting.

I usually go by whose on good form, for the majors, you can win big money in the majors, Tiger is still on stingy odds, like 5-1, even though he hasn't won a major for 2 years.
I had phil for the masters to win, Ernie Els to win for the British and phil mickelson for the us open to win.
I never even cosidered Goosen for the US Open!

I had Els down for the masters...gutted!

He'll win another major soon. I'm definitely thinking about Els, Mickelson and I think Singh will come good for the PGA. Never rule out Tiger.
