I'm new to golf betting, however I've been looking at lines at the greek... For the Travelers tournament and just wondering if I'm looking at this correctly.

ODDS TO WIN THE TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP:
Kenny Perry +245
Hunter Mahan +1,215
David Toms +1,815
Boo Weekley +1,815
Paul Goydos +2,050
Brian Gay +3,050
Sergio Garcia +3,050
Anthony Kim +3,050

Ok, so I look at those odds and say to myself assume I only have $60 left in my betting account...

Kenny Perry: Bet $25 to win $61.25
Hunter Mahan: Bet $5 to win $60.75
David Toms: Bet $5 to win $90.75
Boo Weekley: Bet $5 to win $90.75
Paul Goydos: Bet $5 to win $102.50
Brian Gay: Bet $5 to win $152.50
Sergio Garcia: Bet $5 to win $152.50
Anthony Kim: Bet $5 to win $152.50


This is a can't lose? Am I mistaken?? Worst case Hunter Mahan wins in which case you'd only be up $5.75. but in every other situation you come out far ahead??


I must be missing something! Please let me hear your thoughts?

Ok now I have no clue but did you check to see that they have provided odds for all contestants?

If there are 50 contestants and they only provide odds for 10 obviously betting all 10 may return profit if one of the 10 wins

Field 1 to 5 is that what is missing from this equation?

I just looked on greek as well those are the only 8 available. but the field is much larger than 8. so if someone other than these 8 win, you lose it all.

there are probably 100 people that could still win this tournament
