Hi Guys,
Need some advice/opinions on a position that i am in and would like to hear youre thoughts.
I have backed £5 on Rory mcillroy @18.5 and £5 on Lee Westwood @21 Current prices are 4.4 & 9.6 respectively. The question is should i take profits of
£70 and £60 on each trade or green up for £22.32 or should i leave it open and see if the prices reduce further .
Bit of a quandry , any thoughts??? anyone....

You can never be wrong to take a profit. Conditions at St Andrews seemed quite favourable today. I don't know what the weather forecast is for the next few days but if the wind picks up the scoring won't be as good. It's remains your decision I'm afraid but for the stakes you've used it looks like a pretty decent return already.

The forecast is for rain, possibly heavy, from 1am to 12am and wind picks up a lot tomorrow. From about midday the wind gets very strong so this seems to favour long hitters and the early starters. Not sure what time those guys start but bear the above in mind. If there near competitors are playing all afternoon you may want to hold your position. If not you should cash in.

Play suspended due to heavy winds.

Must have been pretty bad for them to suspend play. I'm watching at 17.45 and it doesn't look like much fun out there.

hi wayneindevon could you explain to me how you can have a £70 profit on a £5 trade with the odds dropping from 18.5 to 4.4 it does not add up in my book.

what I meant was that the profit is there if the chap wins as it stands wayne has a free bet that might produce 70 but as a trade it will not get near that kind of profit greening for 22 would have been my advice. a bit late ehh
