Oosty Wins The Open!

Oosty Wins For Bookers! (and himself)

Oosty Wins For Bookers! (and himself)

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 :-)
