Anonymous Pro Survey: What the pros REALLY think

[manku]

Betting is supposed to reflect the whims of the public (bookies want 50/50 action in general)...TW is a little better than a 2/3 favorite, but per these players it should be at 1/4 or higher. Not sure if it means TW is a good bet or not, but it would seem so?

 

You would think the the book makers would want to set a line whereby the bets came in 50/50 and guarantee themselves the vig but that isn't the case. The books often gamble along with the public. The public bets a lot on Tiger so the books can keep his odds lower than the true odds knowing they will still get a lot of action on him. Betting on Tiger is a bad bet. I had Rose at +500 to win the BMW and he collapsed at the end.

 

You are correct that the books can give bad odds on Tiger and people will still bet him...however, in this case, what I'm saying (based on PGA pros opinions), the odds are way too good for Tiger. You can bet $175 to win $100, when in fact it would seem that it should be about $400 to win $100.
