Tiger Woods refund

It's not often you get two bets for the price of one. For example, take Reteif Goosen or Padraig Harrington. If Tiger wins, you get your money back. I'm not sure whether it's to attract more turnover on the field, or that the bookies are genuinely keen to back Tiger out of the Augusta race.

Note that somebody at sportsbet.com.au has a good sense of humour: Tiger is at $41 to be back at the clinic sometime during the tournament.


BOOKIE TO REFUND ALL BETS IF TIGER WINS THE MASTERS

Leading online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au will refund all bets placed on the outright winner of the 2010 US Masters if Tiger Woods wins.

“It’s fair to say Tiger’s preparation hasn’t been ideal and we’re happy to take him on this week, so much so that we’re prepared to refund bets on everyone else in the field if Tiger wins,” said Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane.

“Taking a stance against Tiger is normally folly for a bookmaker, but we see this as our chance to finally get one back on him.”

Sportsbet.com.au is also offering the best price available on Tiger to win the Masters, currently at $6, with some other bookmakers posting as little as $4 on a Tiger victory.

In novelty markets, Sportsbet.com.au is offering $3 on Tiger to score 16 or more birdies at Augusta, $15 on him leading from start to finish, and $41 on him re-entering the clinic during the tournament.

Note: In November last year, Sportsbet.com.au paid out early on Tiger Woods to win the Australian Masters after two rounds when he was three strokes ahead. Woods faltered in the third round to share the lead with two others, before he shot clear on the final day to win the tournament.
