Golf fans who have followed the sport for years have an unparalleled opportunity to convert their expertise in the sport into excellent cash returns by placing bets at top 2008 US Masters Odds.
Bet on a winner:
With the vast majority of golf pundits predicting that 2008 will be the year that Tiger Woods makes golf history by claiming the first single-season grand slam of major titles, the world number one is an automatic bet for outright tournament winner.
2008 US Masters odds on Tiger Woods see him priced at 6/5 by the likes of top bookmaker William Hill. With betting markets backing Woods to wear the Green Jacket in 2008, only Phil Mickelson is rated as having what it takes to knock Woods out of the tournament, at odds of 11/1.
Tournament Matches:
While Tiger Woods seems like safe money for those placing 2008 US Masters bets, many will also invest in the tournament match betting markets for the 2008 US Masters. By creating hypothetical tournament match-ups between leading players, bookmakers give golf fans the opportunity compare the ability of two golfers and bet accordingly.
One of the most popular 2008 US Masters bets on tournament match ups is the one between WGC-CA Championship winner Geoff Ogilvy and former Masters champion Phil Mickelson. Analysts price Mickelson as 8/11 favourite to outscore Ogilvy in the course of the 2008 US Masters.
Those who believe that the bookmakers have made the wrong call can bet on an in-form Geoff Ogilvy at odds of 11/10 to outperform Mickelson at the 2008 US Masters.
Predicting a 3 Ball:
2008 US Masters fans looking for higher odds need look no further than the opportunities offered by 3 ball betting. Bookmakers match up three players for a single round of golf, leaving it up to punters to pick which of these players will prevail in a particular round of golf at the 2008 US Masters.
The 3 ball for the 10th of April between Zach Johnson, Geoff Ogilvy and Luke Donald sees Ogilvy priced as 11/8 favourite to score lowest in this round, with Zach Johnson priced at tempting 2/1 2008 US Masters odds to outperform his talented opponents.
