A Tradition Like No Other

Monday, April 5th, 2010

The Master’s?  Well, kind of.  The 2010 Master’s marks the return of Tiger Woods to golf.  Much speculation surrounds his performance (on the course you perverts) and just where he may finish up.  Current Vegas odds have Tiger a 9/2  favorite to win it all.  Phil is next at 5/1.  Want to bet the field against Tiger?  That comes off as 3/2 (per vegasinsider.com).  But those are the norm.  It just wouldn’t be a WUF post without some of the, um, more interesting odds.

There are many golf-related odds on Tiger, such as what his first round score will be, whether or not he’ll make the cut and if he cards an ace.  BOOOORRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGGG.  How about 3/2 odds that his wife will use a wood the next time she smashes the windows to his vehicle?  Or 6/1 odds that she’s going to join the LPGA based on the awesome golf swing she exhibited in smashing said windows?

Then there’s the money-line bets.  Those are bets where you get either more (signified by the + sign) or less (the – sign) for a wager.  He is at -400 for wearing that Buddhist bracelet during a round.  Don’t like that?  How about even money if Elin shows up?  +400 if Tiger happens to mention Sandra Bullock.  And one of my favorites: +200 if any of his mistresses shows up.  For those who aren’t as adventurous there’s the ordinary -1200 to make the cut; -250 for par up to +600 for eagle on the first hole, and many more.

If one digs deep enough, there are odds for whether or not he gets in a fight with a fan and if he goes off on somebody after he’s addressed the ball.  It appears that there is nothing off limits to odds-makers.  I’m sure that after some extensive research I could find something related to him shooting a porn with one of his mistresses.  Why not?  There’s a line of +145 if one mistress, Rachel Uchitel, poses for Playboy by the end of this year.

So sit back, line up the beer pong and enjoy what is becoming a very intriguing Master’s.  Oh yeah, there are others entered in this event as well.  Will Phil garner another jacket?  How about Jim Furyk finally becoming that elite golfer?  Can Ernie Els add this storied championship to an already fantastic early season?  Tune in to find out, and keep those betting tickets close by.
