    BetOnline has a great Master's promotion for the Master's 2017

    Place a 10 dollar wager on the winner and have 5 chances to win 1000 dollars. I am not a golfing guru. Give me some feedback on two sleepers to win the Master's. I like Matt Kutcher for +6600. I will take one longshot and one favorite.

    It's not random if you don't pick the winner. If a long shot wins somebody will win something.

    Matsuyama has been preparing for the Masters for the past year. Worth $10 I guess...

    If you were going to bet on the winner of the Master's anyway the "great" is a bonus. Most would be happy just winning, which is already hard to do. I was going to bet the Master's anyway, this just gives a little extra with a win. We can all bet the Master's at any book, but I must admit that I am a contest freak.

    Tyrrell Hatton or Soren Kjeldsen. Most people have never heard of them. Hatton leads the tour in strokes gained putting and the Euros have an advantage in playing in shit weather.

    Pick the winner first and foremost. Then if only a few pick the winner(a longshot) then 5 of those will win an extra 1000 dollars. Of course if a favorite wins then there would be plenty of winners and a much lower chance to win the 1000 dollars because there are more winners overall.

    Those guys probably won't win anyway. 20-1 and 30-1 are basically the same. Just like 50-1 and 60-1. Probably won't win anyway but if you do you still win a lot of money

    You don't understand the stupidity of what you're saying?

    I bet 100 dollars to try to win 3000 and a book is giving me 20/1 odds instead of 30/1 and you think it doesn't matter.

    Sure thing? No bet is a sure thing. After all the years you've posted here, one would think you'd know that.

    Betonline fleeces squares on futures. Every sport they offer horrible futures. Even if they do give away 5,000, which we can't verify, they've made a hell of a lot more than that by shaving odds.

    No futures are in the bettors favor. Why are you stopping to name calling is beyond me. You act like it's a crime what odds a book offers on futures. 5dimes offers the best futures odds of any book yet they don't get ALL of the action. Books future odds are based on a books risk aversion. Betonline might not want to go broke if a Longshot wins to satisfy a critical few. 5dimes may call it a bad line if it hits. Of course I would take 30-1 over 20-1 if I were betting 100 dollars, but I'm not betting 100 dollars on a 20-1 or 30-1 Longshot. I bet 10 dollars on Matt Kuthcher at 66-1, could I have gotten 80-1 or 100-1 on Kuthcher at another book?? Probably. For a 10 dollar Longshot it wasn't worth the hassle looking for those odds. I don't fault a books odds for being risk averse for a promotion that will draw more Longshot wagers. This is ALL in fun for me to scoreboard watch the Masters, because I could care less who wins. If Kutcher is close Sunday I'll be watching, otherwise it's not that serious what odds were offered on a 10 Longshot promotion. I'm sure all the serious folks are playing at different books with the correct odds. I'm not one of them.

    Name calling? There was no name calling.

    Again, there's a big difference between 20/1 and 30/1.

    The odds they offered were atrocious and had tremendous hold.

    After a roughly March madness, I needed to have something carry me over until the NBA playoffs. I normally don't do golf, but this promo somehow caught my attention
