"The Crissed as a Picket Zig & Sledge Scotty Post"

[Ned]

Any takers ?

Not only for the Masters but also for all 4 Majors as well ?

[adlo]

You mean Ozgolf tipping like we did last year?

And yes.

[PeteyD]

Gonna do the lotto ticket thing again?

[adlo]

I think that was a good idea

[moree golfer]

Count me in for a donation, on both comps. Overall is a good idea but needs some guidelines to be formulated, especially if one of your picks gets injured lol.

[Courty]

I'll be in it as usual.

[Scottt]

Didn't you get the first alternate if one of your picks got injured? It should all be in the threads from last year.

What's this about playing for a lotto ticket?

[Eag's]

I will be in it again but would rather we go back to all putting in $10.
Lotto tickets are to much stuffing about with scanning etc...
Plus if buy some miracle, someone wins a decent payout, it could get real messy.

[Scottt]

Yeah, $10 is best. Enough that you can afford to lose it, but the winner still gets a nice payout.

With lotto there's a strong likelihood that no one gets anything!

[markTHEblake]

Gonna do the lotto ticket thing again?

well i never got the payout from the last one yet.

was $30 if i remember right. was it rolled over?

[Johnny Canuck]

I say go back to the $10, which can then be quickly spent in the pro shop as I did about 3 minutes after confirming victory.

Injuries should not be a factor as you pick the night before. If your player doesn't get a start, you get the first alternate. Sound good?

Don't let Shaneo play, he is a cheap K unt.

[Eag's]

well i never got the payout from the last one yet.

was $30 if i remember right. was it rolled over?

I rest my case.

[adlo]

Back to a tenner then, no complaints here. Pappa needs a new bag.

[Ned]

Working on T & C's. Will post by Sunday. :smt108

[Scottt]

Ned, existing set-up can be found in one of the threads from last year. Best to stick with what the masses know, IMO.

Yep, been looking at these posts:

2008 British Open (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showpost.php?p=239172&postcount=1)

2008 US Open (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showpost.php?p=231002&postcount=1)

2008 US Masters (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showpost.php?p=218353&postcount=1)


For the overall Major Series, how does everyone feel about taking best 3 out of 5 picks for each individual Major. (If you manage to have 3 of your 5 picks make the cut in all of the Majors).

Or does anyone have a better/simpler/easier way for this being tabled ?

Am happy to run book for each individual one and overall. (And previous tipster comp posters don't mind their ideas/details being plagiarised ?)

$10 for individual Majors.

$10 for Major Series punt. (Have to nominate before US Masters that you are in for all 4 events)

You would be the expert on rulings I guess.

[Johnny Canuck]

I don't know about rule 6, especially if the dispute involves the thread owner.

I don't mind the idea of the major punt.

[Ned]

Hahahahahahahahaha...................... no, thats Mike's love!:)

No problem, Ill run it but not play it!!!!!!!!:twisted:

[adlo]

Yeah I am ok with that, plus the extra tenner.

[markTHEblake]

Bureaucracy

11. The adjudicator will post the results of the tipping comp in the thread he started.

[PeteyD]

OK. are we tipping in this thread or is a new thread going to happen?

[Scottt]

Start a new thread for the Maters, I reckon. Plus the field isn't finalised yet. Top 50 as at the end of the Houston event get in.

[adlo]

New thread for each comp and an overall thread would by my suggestion.

[Scottt]

Yep. Let's try not to get too official and complicated, I reckon. If it ain't broke...

But yeah, Shaneo can't enter :lol:

[raidrboy]

Count me in.

[zigwah]

I'll have a crack, I actually just put 100 clams on Norman to win the masters at 251 bux, just something in my discs thinks he'll go alright this year.

[Eag's]

I'll have a crack, I actually just put 100 clams on Norman to win the masters at 251 bux, just something in my discs thinks he'll go alright this year.

Whatever you are smoking it may be time to quit :shock:
Hey we all want to see him do well, make the cut maybe, but win....not a chance in hell.

[zigwah]

He did ok in the British open for an old fella, anyone remember Raymond Floyd

[Scottt]

I'll have a crack, I actually just put 100 clams on Norman to win the masters at 251 bux, just something in my discs thinks he'll go alright this year.

You may as well have shat on that money and then burned it.

I'll give you odds of 1000/1 with ScottTAB. How much you want to lay down?

[Scottt]

He did ok in the British open for an old fella, anyone remember Raymond Floyd

Floyd won the US Open when he was 43 - Norman is 54 and doesn't play much. Where's the parallel?

[zigwah]

FFS mate, I'm a norman fan i was there every time he was robbed or choked, you'll be spewing if he wins and i'm 25000 up.

What are you saying an old man can't turn it on?

I reckon he's got a spring in his step since being with chrissy.

Sometimes there are fairytales man, and you will be never on it.

[zigwah]

I reckon if i said we all poo from our bum you would say how do back that up lol

[Scottt]

1. FFS mate, I'm a norman fan i was there every time he was robbed or choked, you'll be spewing if he wins and i'm 25000 up.

2. What are you saying an old man can't turn it on?

3. I reckon he's got a spring in his step since being with chrissy.

4. Sometimes there are fairytales man, and you will be never on it.

1. Actually, I'd be happy for you. I just doubt very much that it will happen.
2. Yes.
3. He may well do, but he will not win the Masters. Much I would love to see him do it.
4. Fairytales are one thing, fantasy land is another.

[Scottt]

I reckon if i said we all poo from our bum you would say how do back that up lol

Not true. Though I would probably cite you as an example that the anus isn't the only orephus shit has been known to come out of :lol:

[zigwah]

lmao good comeback

[zigwah]

I tell ya what mate, I'm 36 my oldman is 56, and he could still kick my arse standing toe to toe, and i can look after myself.

It can be done have ten on him for 250 and take ur mrs out for dinner on Zig :)

[Scottt]

:shock: WTF? Your old man can fight, so Norman will win the Masters?

I'm starting to wish your parents had done a better job with that "drugs are bad" speech you mentioned...

[zigwah]

they never gave me that speech, that's mine mate

[mike]

Not a bad bet Zig. He went close at the open. I may have a bet on him, too. I'm not silly enough to have a hunj on him though.

[zigwah]

yeah a hunj is steep, i just have a feeling though same feeling i had when i backed bart to win the cup last year.

[zigwah]

check out what it paid scott

Around 41 bux, if i remember correctly, i was hammered that day, 100 clams too

And if i win lotto tomorrow nite i show you what omen means ;)

[markTHEblake]

Good onya Zigmeister. It's a brave bet, but so is any 250/1 shot regardless of how old they are.

Greg Norman is quite clearly one of very few golfers that does have the potential to win in his 50's due to his physique that very few of his peers have. Whats going to go against him is his window of opportunity is nearly finished. Even the Seniors tour golfers fade away from about 55.



Nobody is going to remember your bet if he doesnt win.

[Scottt]

check out what it paid scott

Around 41 bux, if i remember correctly, i was hammered that day, 100 clams too

And if i win lotto tomorrow nite i show you what omen means ;)

Yep, they always want to tell you about the wins they've had. You never get a punter telling you "I threw a ton at this nag paying 50/1 today and it ran 5th, How much of a tool am I?!"

[zigwah]

Thats ok but you can all tell ya grandkids about if he does :)

[zigwah]

Yep, they always want to tell you about the wins they've had. You never get a punter telling you "I threw a ton at this nag paying 50/1 today and it ran 5th, How much of a tool am I?!"

That's the thing scott i'm not a punter, take that for what you will.

[Scottt]

That's the thing scott i'm not a punter, take that for what you will.

You go around thowing $100 notes at horses, 54yo old golfers and a random draw of seven numbers... What are you then, an investor?

[zigwah]

i'll let you know how, i picked the in the cup last, it certainll wasn't a punter, i was driving to the tab for my yearly bet on the cup 10 bux and my crazy brother says, that guy looks like bart cummings in that car, and sure enough he did and then i looked at his number plate and it was JB something or other number.

That was goo enough for us we both slapped on a hundred and the rest is history and you know what saw the same bloke walk out of the tab when we were having a pot, and backed shwick and it got up too, crazy stuff. yeah i do it for a living lol

[zigwah]

who cares if he wins or not, if he doesnt i'm down 100 bux and u will say i told ya so, if he does i got bragging right till we die what would u rather?

[zigwah]

If ya gonna check on schwick sp? it was at the end of the spring carnival beat the raging fav, we were the only ones on it in the pub.

I don't bet much at all only when i have a feeling and melbourne cup day.

No idea if it will be there but, true, but check out country duke in the shepparton gold cup, harness, i backed him for a hundred and he was going out in the odds till the race started.

[Scottt]

Mate I don't give a shit. But with such a reckless approach to gambling, I refuse to believe you win more than you lose.

[zigwah]

Well u would be wrong, honest

Best american black chick on springer "you don't know me girlfriend"

[Scottt]

:lol:

I don't believe you.

[zigwah]

who wins the lotto man most times, its the little old granny who puts her last 2 bux on.

[zigwah]

Dude i'm not a bullshit artist.

[Scottt]

Bull

Oi! you 2 clowns, stop spamming up this thread we get the point already FFS :smt075

[Scottt]

Yeah, I'm bored. Time for a Friday lunch pint. Maybe by the time I return I'll be speaking Zig's language :lol:

[adlo]

At least we know you are hard at work.

[zigwah]

its amusing to me now, i'll apologise tomoz, whats scotts excuse

[zigwah]

he's either annoying someone or kissing their arse :)

[zigwah]

I was just about to say Andy is not gonna be happy with us Scott then i saw him online lol it was all scott he was egging me on, and ive had a skinful insert puppy dog eyes here.

And BTW scotty all my material is copyrighted and i dont give you permission to use :)

[PeteyD]

Ziggy and Scotty sitting in a tree ....


I put money on Normal. But I am a mug punter and Sti told me it was a sure thing.

[Scottt]

Don't bring me into this, Ziggy and the voices in his head are on fire!

[Dotty]

Good on'ya Ziggy, and putting some of your past winnings back into the system.

If Norman doesn't win, it's no different to a hundred spent on a bottle of foreign plonk or a golf club that gets pro-shopped after only a few games.

Back-to-the-topic.

[Scottt]

Didn't you read, Dotty, he never loses!

[Dotty]

Didn't you read, Dotty, he never loses!
I read the Bulging Discs thread. (60mg of narcotic analgesics plus last night's bourbon won't lead to quality posts.)

[Scottt]

:lol: I just read it. It explains a lot!

[Grunt]

So 2 pages of shit, are we going to get back to the topic of Major Tipping.

[Scottt]

:roll: what is there left to discuss? We're doing what we did last year. Post whatever you want, Grunter :smt023

[Ned]

Ill set uo a NEW thread this afternoon after I have played golf and had some sleep.

[zigwah]

Sorry guys was a bit pissy last nite sorry to hijack (destroy the thread) go the shark!

[adlo]

No worries, we all enjoy a few bourbons from time to time.....

[Scottt]
