Just enough for a little drink (I put £20 on) - and I owe Tiger Woods one if I ever bump into him.
I don't do impulse or emotional betting as I'm always looking for value. "Value" being those occaisions when I think the bookies have drastically underestimated a team's chances (like being offered odds of 2/1 on a coin toss). I knew Europe would probably be long odds to win but 7/1 was a much bigger price than I would have given.
I wasn't the only one either. By the time my bet was processed they had gone from 7/1 to 6/1.
If I had been using Betfair I probably would have layed the Europe win after 5 matches for a smaller (but guarenteed) profit and saved my nerves.

Here is how it starts off:
MEDINAH, Ill. -- For those who think this Ryder Cup is finished, think again. Team Europe can still win if the following five things happen Sunday:
-- Keegan Bradley is abducted.
-- Team USA captain Davis Love III inserts Cup spectators Michael Jordan, President George W. Bush, Amy Mickelson and the Rev. Jesse Jackson into the singles lineup.
-- Lee Westwood: U.S. citizen.
-- Marty McFly shows Team Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal how to go back in time. Last Friday morning will do.

I got on them at 20/1 and they were 15/1 last night.
I'll be looking to lay the bet off if they get off to a good start at the weekend (nailed on, I should think) ... or hold off to see if they win their group / qualify for the next round.
