Online Bookmakers favoring Tiger Woods
Mar 22, 2010
Tiger Woods is again in the news, and this time he is tipped on online operator’s sites to carry through and win the Masters in 2010. Not taking into account all the off course attention he attracted, Woods is still a big crowd favourite and could win the hearts back of the fans he let down by walking away with the famous Green Jacket at Augusta in 2010. The online bookies are having a field day and online bets are streaming in by the day.
Odds between 4-1 and 9-2 sets Tiger up as the favourite to walk away with the title. Ladbrokes as well as Bwin has Woods at 9-2 which says a lot of the man’s character and talent. And with easy online payment methods for Sportsbooks it simplifies the industry. As we know the sportsbook industry, odds can change in a second, and with Tiger as unpredictable as he is, the odds could even change to 2-1. He’s been out of the game for 5 months and iit would be a remarkable achievement if he can pull this off.
Expectations are set and some bookmakers and online operators expect that the weekend of the Masters could exceed any other sporting weekend in the history of Sportsbook betting. Not just gaming expectations will be beaten , tv audiences across the globe will also increase to see Tiger in action. To put things into perspective Tiger was set at 6-1 without audiences even knowing if he would play. It says a lot about the man but in a greater picture, it says a lot of what can be expected on the weekend of the great golfing championship.
