Betting on Michelle Wie making the cut, 6.75 to 1
Will Michelle Wie qualify for the men’s U.S. Open?

Yes 6.75 to 1
No 1 to 10

Looks like they don't think she will make it.

The odds are pretty fair.
There wouldn't be lower odds for many non pga card holders.

6.75 to 1 is a pretty good bet. How many tries do you think it'll take her to qualify? Don't think it'll take more than 3.

Those odds are on her making it through on this occasion.

Just for fun I will bet $50 to win $337.5 when she plays. I wonder how safe is this website? Any of you going to bet too? I think most people would bet on she making the cut because why would you bet $50 to win just $5?

No thanks. As a betting expert, I'd say put your money elsewhere.

You are only right if there is heavy interest in betting on a particular event. I doubt many people are betting on this, meaning the odds are just what the bookmaker thinks are honest odds of the bet coming through.

If you could get decent money on betting against, I'd say bet that way.

However I'd never bet against Wie on the principle of I'd never bet against someone I was up for.

Why bother with 1/10 though? You would need to put on big money and I wouldn't be that sure of it happening, to put on big money in this case.

You're pretty new here, aren't you?

Of course, rodney_c IS in Ireland, where they love the "wie little people"!

She plays the maximum number of LPGA tournaments allowed. She wants to play more but the LPGA didn't allow her. While not competing in the mean time, she should play any golf to gain experience.

Don't mind me guys... I'm just updating my tally. That's the One Thousand, Five-Hundred & Forty-Seventh time that argument has been posted and effectively countered in our various Michelle Wie threads.


Carry on !

She won't. A qualifier in Hawaii is slightly different from what she's going to run into in Jersey. The field is going to be juuuuuuuuuuuust a little bit stronger.
