Re: Ivey vs. Corey Pavin golf bet
[ QUOTE ]
$10k/hole is probably a relatively normal every day bet for Ivey. [/ QUOTE ] This reason alone makes Pavin the favorite. Ivey probably has much less interest in making sure this bet is +EV than Pavin does. I'd guess that Pavin knows this is a total sucker bet.

Re: Ivey vs. Corey Pavin golf bet
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If you think a 10 handicapper could break par on ANY course you know NOTHING about golf. [/ QUOTE ] In my prime, I have shot from middle tees even par for 9 twice, and 4 over for 18 once. My average at the time was probably 10 over on fairly easy courses I had played many times. All it takes is a good putting day. I really question how much YOU know about golf. [/ QUOTE ] Being a golf pro (Teaching not tour) I think I do know what I am talking about! Most people have no clue as to how bad a 15 handicap is and how great tour pros are! Being a scratch golfer myself I would gladly take Pavins place in that bet! Once again, Ivey has NO CHANCE! [/ QUOTE ] I just think your above statement shows you have little understanding of either: A. The scoring range of a 10 handicapper B. The ease of various courses Perhaps your own experiences with students are not reflective of true swings. Chances are a struggling 10 handicapper is more likely to seek lessons than a 10 handicapper in a groove. I agree that pavin should win

Re: Ivey vs. Corey Pavin golf bet
[ QUOTE ]
Stink, You said you liked Ivey in the bet above. I said I'd take action. Even money. [/ QUOTE ] the only bet i offered on ivey was that he could break par in a 2-shot scramble, but that was when i thought he was a legit 15-handicap, which doesn't necessarily appear to be true. but since i did say that, i'll bet you $100 if we can set this up in some legit way.

[/ QUOTE ] I think a legit 15 is a severe longshot to break par in a 2-ball scramble. I'm a 14 and I tend to break 80 once or twice a year. I can say I would really need a great round to break par scrambling 2 balls. I certainly wouldn't bet on it in any given round. Too much chance for a high handicapper to take a big number or two and toss par right down the drain.

[/ QUOTE ] breaking 80 on a course of average difficulty is pretty much equivalent to breaking par on the course in question. and you do it playing straight up. imagine what you'd score scrambling.
