Tiger +1050 to win Masters

[TexansFan]

Hope McIlroy wins by 20 shots.

[TexansFan]

great value woods is going to win the tourney just so ya kno

Doubtful imo. Of course anything can happen in the next three days.

[PAYTON20]

Tiger -1. Only 6 back. Rory plays in afternoon conditions next 3 days, way harder. Rory will fade

[caseyking2]

I put 10 bucks on Tiger and Mickelson this morning. I think both have a great shot at taking this one

[DrunkHorseplayer]

fade him every tournament rest of his career

I've been doing just this ever since his car crash and will continue to do so until he wins; money in the bank.

[ByeShea]

LMAO @ Steroids giving you superhuman putting abilities.

Superhuman eyesight.

You two idiots probably don't even know where the nearest golf course is, much less play. I expect you to know nothing of the subject, but that keen eyesight helps incredibly much from 6-7 ft. and out.

One thing few dispute is that Tiger was on steroids. Dude was a twig and ended up looking like a linebacker - and displaying insane putting abilities (same way Bonds broke the mold hitting home runs).

Then shit goes down. In the news and before that behind closed doors.

One oft-repeated story is that the PGA wanted Tiger off steroids for good in the wake of his US Open win in '08. The muscles, the anger ... suspicions were already surfacing about his image vs. his real life.

Whether that's true or not is a matter of conjecture - but here is what I believe totally to be true:

• During the time that Tiger was on steroids he was not only the best putter in the PGA but putting like no one in history.

• He is no longer on steroids and his putting is ordinary.

First off if you meant steroids enhanced his eyesight which in turn helped him put better, you should have said that. Not that they gave him superhuman putting abilities. Second, I don't need to know where there's a golf course or do i need to play to know steroids do not enhance eyesight. There are some rumors where hgh could possibly do this, but nothing is proven.

[vincanity15]

lol @ tiger looked like he was on steroids, he needs to get his money back , u obv dont workout at all byeshea.

[Fed_42420]

Sadly I wouldn't even take those odds on him to make the cut. He has no chance at winning

[sonnyhowitzer]

he hasn't proven to be a champ.

[mattyend33]

Took Mickelson also...

[cankid]

took luke

[stevenash]

This is Rory's to lose.
Kid was light's out today, and he's made out of the right stuff, he won't fold if he's in the mix on Sunday.
Don't discount Goose either.

Tiger played like a wuss today, yeah I know he's -1, but every hold he played to par it, no guts, no glory.

Write that in English and we'll talk.

If anything Tiger's putting would have suffered if he was on the juice and this was the peak of his sexual escapades. Don't steroids cause your dick & balls to shrink? According to the women he was banging he didn't have that problem at all unlike Barry Bonds.

[ryanspeer2001]

What and how do they figure out the cut?

[Casperwaits]

He is done

[wtf]

should have waited one day

he is 16-1 now

he sucks, keep dreaming though

LOL. I really hope you're being sarcastic about steroids enhancing eyesight. If not you're quite possibly the greatest dipshit alive.

# 1 - In no way shape or form do steroids improve eyesight. *If* he was even in fact using anabolic steroids there is a way higher chance that his putting would have gotten worse. Putting is about reading greens, tempo, and a soft touch. Even in his book he talks about how he changed from a firm putter grip to barely applying pressure in 1999. Steroids would not make him apt to follow this technique.

# 2 - You really think the PGA was aware he was on steroids and rather than suspending him tried to persuade him to stop? Complete bullshit. A sport that prides itself on longstanding gentlemanly etiquette and prestigious skill is not about to piss that away on a dipshit that won a bunch of tournaments for a couple decades. There were great golfers before Tiger, there will be even better ones after he's gone.

# 3 - Do you realize how trivial his domestic issues were? It's just a classic case of a sports celebrity whose head got too big and he thought he could get away with trim on the side. Bitch got attached, he got sloppy, his wife found out and wanted to walk away. Almost anyone in his position would smash out a windshield and throw some shit around at the thought of dealing with that media circus that was sure to follow when the truth was released.

Now, on a betting note - Tiger is by no means done. He's gonna get aggressive tomorrow and make an impressive run. Watch interviews he's given over the past month. No way he claims he's still the best golfer in the world and doesn't back it up on the first of the 4 events he cares most about winning.

Tiger under 70.5 (-130) tomorrow. Take that shit to the bank.

[k1ko]

Tiger is in much better form this year then last year and he still placed 4th last year. That was after his long break and during all his problems. Say what you about his character. He is not a once in a generation talent, he's once in a century. I don't really blame you for betting on him. His talent is off the charts higher then everyone else so it wouldn't shock me too much if he won. I mean the guy broke 50 on 9 holes at the local course at the age of 3. I couldn't even run without falling at 3.

[kingdom]

16/1 is definitely worth a look

[caseyking2]

Where the Masters odds up at the SBR book? Just wondering and thanks

[stevenash]

Tiger is in much better form this year then last year and he still placed 4th last year.

Really?
He stunk up Dubai earlier, and Doral, a course he used to eat for breakfast in his 'roiding years, finished like 27th I think.

Tiger ain't winning no Masters playing for pars on the par 5's like a wuss.
Old Tiger would have gone for birds.

Tiger is going to turn it around because he cares? Got it.

Once again, on steroids - he regularly drained putts the way other PGA golfers could only drain them when they were at their hottest. Won all the tournaments, all the time.

Off steroids - I'll let Tiger explain yesterday's round: "Today was one of those days where I hit beautiful putts," he said. "I was hitting my lines and they just weren't going in. That's fine. It's not like I was pulling it or blocking it or something like that."

Sounds like a decent day for a pro golfer. He had a decent round. Maybe he'll have a decent finish. Maybe he'll get lucky and win.

Maybe is all he or his backers have. I wouldn't bet on it.

[TexansFan]

What and how do they figure out the cut?

It's 10 shots and all ties from the leader after 2 rounds.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

I agree, people are confusing the Old Tiger to who he is now. Hes the same guy who would win tournament after tournament but hes clearly not winning the same or golfing the same in that matter. Hes playing to conservative like you mentioned and it won't win you any tournament trying to par every hole. Even if he was 30/1..I still wouldn't take him. He'll be in contention but won't win unless he has an incredible next two days which I would say are highly unlikely.

[ByeShea]

Its english clown, some serious retards on here lol. And why is your avatar a pic of a dudes ass, that cant be a girl fk i hope not.

That's my ass. You can look, but you can't touch because I'm not gay.

[d2bets]

It's 10 shots and all ties from the leader after 2 rounds.

Seriously? So what if one guy goes nuts the first two rounds, shoots -16 and no one is within 10 strokes? Slaughter rule? No weekend? Can't be.

[TexansFan]

Seriously? So what if one guy goes nuts the first two rounds, shoots -16 and no one is within 10 strokes? Slaughter rule? No weekend? Can't be.

It says within 44 places of the lead or within 10 strokes. Left out the first part.

The Masters is the first acknowledged major golf championship of the year, and since 1940 has been played so that the final round is always on the second Sunday of April.

Because the Masters has a relatively small field compared to other golf tournaments, the competitors play in groups of three for the first 36 holes on the first two days.

After 36 holes have been played by all players, players are eliminated to reduce the field. To "make the cut", players must be either within 44 places of the lead (ties counting) or within 10 strokes of the leader's score. These rules have applied since the 1961 tournament; from 1957 to 1960 the best 40 scores and ties and those within 10 strokes of the leader made the cut. Before 1957, there was no 36-hole cut.[3]

[TexansFan]

Right now the leader sits at -7, if he finishes today and still sits at -7 the cut line would be +3.

[cloudagh]

Putting aside everything else, I would see this number as having value. Not for a large bet, but I think a poster above talked of putting $10 down. It probably warrants that much to $100 depending on your roll. Lets say he is in contention on sunday. Even within 3 shots, you would be happy to have the money down with that facing you.

[valaub04]

Right now the leader sits at -7, if he finishes today and still sits at -7 the cut line would be +3.

also if the cut was made right now there would be only 18 guys to MISS the cut. that will obviously change but the tournament committee HAS to be pulling for a more manageable number of players for the weekend.

Let me break it down for you, Shea. I'm a pharmacy student - maybe I should have pointed that out initially so that you can just admit that you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. Steroids, of any type essentially speed up the body's metabolism and it's ability to regenerate muscle fibers. So that means less down time in the gym between workouts for recovery, which means incredibly shortened time needed to add muscle mass. They also weaken the body's immune system when used chronically for long periods of time as well as cause a plethora of terrible health issues.

I know you said you're off the topic, but I feel like it's almost my duty to get you to see that just isn't true in any way whatsoever. Increasing your muscle tone in no way would ever make you a better putter. A 5 year old can putt a ball 90 ft. If you're going to draw conclusions about the possibilities of anyone using illicit substances for any purpose, you might want to at least make sure you know the facts. Or just hold a bag under your mouth to catch all the bullshit flowing out of it.


I think it was already mentioned earlier either in this thread or another - look at the way he's finished in Augusta the past 5 years since winning it in 2005.

2006 - T3
2007 - T2
2008 - 2
2009 - T6
2010 - T4

Show a record besides Phil's that's even close to comparable in Master's finishes in the same timespan. No? Then tell me a more reliable person to bet on blindly before the tournament starts. I don't care if Woods finished dead last in Dubai - Phil is coming off a win and he finished a stroke better than Tiger yesterday.

I'm not even a huge fan of his, it just pisses me off when people shit on professional athletes without any basis for argument.

[TexansFan]

also if the cut was made right now there would be only 18 guys to MISS the cut. that will obviously change but the tournament committee HAS to be pulling for a more manageable number of players for the weekend.

It usually works itself out after the second day, but any player who fits the criteria I listed will make the cut. When Tiger won in 2007 they only had 44 players left for the weekend.

I hear there's a chance for some rain this afternoon.
