 Odds
to Win the 2008 US
MastersOdds to win the 2008 US Masters were available online at BetUS.com. Tiger Woods come into this US Masters as the huge underdog. Okay, that was a joke. But actually, he's a good value at near even odds. A $115 bet pays out $100 (plus you get your initial bet back if Tiger Woods were to win).

Phil Mickelson is the only one paying single digit odds and even he pays out nicely: $800 for every $100 bet. The 72nd staging of the first Major of the year gets under way at the Augusta National in Georgia, with leading players from around the world hoping to tame the notoriously difficult course and end the weekend with the Green Jacket. Tiger Woods offers great value considering he has already won the US Masters title four times. In terms of payout and potential to win, Phil Michelson would provide the ultimate economic stimulus package for gamblers during these tough times. Phil Mickelson can stop Tiger. Mickelson has won two of the last four Masters. Please Find Update Odds Available After Each Day Here Now That The Tournament Has Begun Some other picks from Mark Reason of the Calcutta Telegraph:
Geoff Ogilvy can
win. He had a couple
of ‘train wrecks’
last year and was
still in contention
for much of the
tournament. Mike
Weir and Zach
Johnson have shown
that non-bombers
with a great
wedge-game can
prevail at Augusta.
Padraig Harrington
left the course last
year saying: “I
walked away from
this tournament
knowing that I'm
capable of winning
the Masters.” Many
of the young Brits,
three of whom
finished in the top
10 last year, will
feel the same. Luke
Donald says: “I've
played well there
and contended a
couple of times and
there’s no reason
why come Sunday I
can’t tee it up
having a chance to
win.” Now if you really want to make a mint, go with a relatively obscure golfer like Drew Weaver who stands to pay a whopping $75,000 for every $100 bet. A $10 bet actually pays $750 on someone like Weaver. Last year, Drew Weaver became the first American to win the British Amateur golf tournament since 1979. So anything is possible. Betting on the US Masters has become quite popular in recent years, mainly because it is among the easiest sports to bet on with some of the highest payout potentials.
