I like Redeye have bought the " Tiger to win no majors " prop at - 120. As a matter of fact I bought it for Redeye and myself right here in Las Vegas at the Venetian/Palazzo. Should Tiger be favored to win the Masters ? I say no ! Why ? Simple .... He's changed his swing again .... He's lost his putting stroke..... He's in a slump that has lasted quite some time now. People seem to forget but Tiger was winless in the Majors for quite some time even before his problems started with his wife. His last Major victory was the 2008 U S Open which was in June of 2008. That was almost 3 years ago ! Tiger is not the same golfer that won 4 straight Majors. He is certainly one of the greatest golfers ever but right now He isn't playing like one of the greatest ever. We shall soon see but I love my wager and I will tell anyone what my wager is before it happens. If I lose the wager... everyone can say " I told you so " ! That's why they call it gambling. I just try to make wagers where I feel the odds are in my favor.
kermit16....first off i respect your capping. that said, tiger has changed his swing before and then won majors. yes, he has played like shit for awhile(for his lofty standards the public have given him, including myself). But, all these tourn leading up to the masters are tourn where these Big Guns, Tiger, Phil, westwood who is also playing like shit if you think tiger is playing like shit..they are all working on things leading up to their first major, which is really all tiger and Phil care about these days.
I dnt think the bet yall made is a dumb bet, at all. Its a great bet as a matter of fact, with what we have heard on ESPN and seen in these warmup tourn. My book has that bet for Tiger in the majors at....0 won $-200, 1 won at $+175, 2 won at +850, and 3 won at 4000, and grand slam at 10k.
I'm pretty confident that any other golfer would be at least $-400-$500 range to go a year without winning a major, and thats for the top ranked golfers in the world rankings. I dnt know that for a fact because my book only has the odds on majors for tiger so correct me if im wrong...
Anyways, all i'm saying to you and red eye is i understand yalls bet and i'd say its 50/50 you cash the ticket. According to jack nicklaus, this is the most important year for Tiger, if he intends to break his record. If tiger agrees with jack look out....he plays the toughest golf courses better than anyone because he can hit and see shots other people would never even think of, he can make par from places others would accept bogeys on, and whether you believe it or not, he can chip and putt on hard greens (augusta) better than anybody who has ever played golf before.
I'm not saying he wins cause he hasnt showed me anything for awhile and there is not value betting wise, but i dont think it would shock anybody if he does.
My picks on master all have value.
Sergio Garcia (long shot, but if he doesnt get frustrated he can play tough courses as good as anybody) $50 to win $3000
Bill Haas (put it in when he was playing well a month ago) 50 to win $3000
I will prob add one more eventually. Red eye, i dont post my picks on here so i'm not trying to get pple to believe my picks i could care less if you believe me. I have already stated i follow a few cappers on here that are way better than me. I dont claim to be awesome at picking games, but i'm pretty good at managing my small bankroll, lol. Anyways, this thread has gotten old to me. Good luck with yalls bet, but i hope it doesnt cash cause i'm a tiger homer
