OK, so Justin Rose didn’t show in the Open at all, but that didn’t stop me winning around £17
Here’s how I did it.
I decided to leave further bets until the final day of the event because that’s when things really happen.
There is almost no point in betting on a golf event until the final day because golf is so unpredictable. Rory McIlroy for example carded the lowest ever first round in a major the first day of The Open with a 63. The next day he was blown off course!
So South African Louis Oothuizen had a 4 or 5 shot lead going into the final day and watching the opening holes it was apparent that no-one was making birdies – which they needed to do to catch him.
Right. Bet against all the pursuers and for Oosty.
Paid off a treat – and is another big step on the ladder back to profit
