The Tiger Conundrum for Masters Betting
by T.O. Whenham - 04/09/2008
Tiger Woods has made a mess of betting on golf. There is really no way around it. All you need to do to see that I'm right is to look at the odds for this week's Masters. Phil Mickelson is at 10/1 to win his third green jacket in five years. Vijay Singh, at 18/1, and Geoff Ogilvy at 20/1, are the only other players besides Woods under 25/1. Masters odds have Tiger at even money. Even freaking money. On the surface that is truly ridiculous, totally devoid of value, and impossible to deal with. There's just one problem, though - he may still be worth a play. Or at least he might be if you could consider this kind of potential payout on money that is tied up for four days appealing. That's why he has ruined golf betting - you can't really bet on him, but you can't really afford not to bet on him, either.

by T.O. Whenham - 04/09/2008
The NCAA Tournament just ended, so that means that the Masters is just around the corner at Augusta National. Let's not kid ourselves even for a second - this tournament is all about Tiger Woods. If he decides he really wants to win it, and we have been given no reason to believe he won't, then he is the overwhelming favorite to do so. He's at even money for Masters golf odds while his closest competitor, Phil Mickelson, is at 10/1, and Vijay Singh is the only other golfer under 20/1. If he doesn't do it for some reason, though, then there are the usual cast of characters who everyone will be talking about - Phil, Vijay, Adam Scott, Ernie, Padraig Harrington, Retief Goosen and the like.

Golf Handicapping Tips
by Josh Nagel - 01/24/2008
Golf handicapping can be daunting, even for seasoned bettors. Unlike handicapping team sports, where you can search for the little nuances and edges that one team might hold over another, in golf you're looking for the one guy who is going to beat everyone else in a given tournament, which easily consist of 100 opponents or more.
