Odds for who will win the Masters

These days everyone is strapped for cash. We all are looking for ways to pick up just a bit more to help pay the bills. And with the upcoming Masters ready to start on April 8th, many are trying the friendly local betting pool to try to do it with.

But for those with a serious interest in trying to win along with their favorite duffer, there are serious odds out there. I was able to get the exact odds on the Masters from bookmaker expert Mickey Richardson, CEO of Bookmaker.com and his team.

Here are the standings:

TIGER WOODS
+350
PHIL MICKELSON
+750
PADRAIG HARRINGTON
+1400
ERNIE ELS
+1600
STEVE STRICKER
+1600
LEE WESTWOOD
+2200
PAUL CASEY
+2250
RETIEF GOOSEN
+2500
GEOFF OGILVY
+2500
JIM FURYK
+2500
RORY MCILROY
+2800
VIJAY SINGH
+3000
CAMILO VILLEGAS
+2500
DUSTIN JOHNSON
+3300
MARTIN KAYMER
+3300
IAN POULTER
+2800
HUNTER MAHAN
+3300
ANTHONY KIM
+4000
ZACH JOHNSON
+4000
SERGIO GARCIA
+4000
ROSS FISHER
+4500
HENRIK STENSON
+4500
ANGEL CABRERA
+4200
SEAN OHAIR
+5000
NICK WATNEY
+5000
JUSTIN ROSE
+6000
LUKE DONALD
+6000
CHARL SCHWARTZEL
+5000
ROBERT KARLSSON
+6000
MIKE WEIR
+6000
ADAM SCOTT
+6600
TIM CLARK
+6000
STEWART CINK
+6000
KJ CHOI
+6000
ROBERT ALLENBY
+6600
THE FIELD (ALL OTHER PLAYERS)
+175

What the numbers mean is that the lower the score the lower the amount you would win. Or in other words, Tiger Woods remains the favorite (outside the feild) and Robert Allenby is a crazy longshot.

This should help the pros and the amatuers who will have a bit more than just their pride in their favorite player on the line during the Masters.

I think that Tiger will do it again. Not just because he is that damn good but because he has a point to prove. That all the media hype and attention have nothing to do with his ability.

if he does, watch out. he will stomp all over the PGA just like he did after going pro. And all the sponsors will be back with more cash than ever.

But who do you think will win?
