You gotta be crazy not to at least put a few bucks on Woods at 60-1

That's just way out of line.

There aren't 59 other golfers who have a better chance of winning

No, but that's not how the true odds are calculated.

I know but I think he wins this tourney more then once every 60 times.

When a legend gets embarrassed sometimes they rise up.
He got embarrassed last week like never before.

Look at it this way, if I were in a foursome with Tiger, Bubba, and Rory......taking me at 5-1 to have the best round of the four would not be value.........

Dont know, probably not though considering the form of all the golfers competing..........whatever the case, 60-1 is fairly close to the true odds.

I forget what the YES/NO odds were on him winning at various shops.......that would be one of the better indicators of what his true odds were of winning.

course will eat him up

Have to agree with this. You can't come to the US Open fighting a two way miss like was at Memorial. Maybe he figured something out in the last 10 days. If not, we'll see the Tiger trunk slam Friday evening.

Nothing in Tigers game presently suggests he can compete in a major at this time.. Factoring in that these fields are deeper...forget it, not happening.. He doesn't make the cut imo.. now that's where the value is..not making the cut -110

I'm thinking the odds should have been close to 80-1. Would love to see him play well though. Love him or hate him, he is good for golf.

No where near out of line except in Tigers favor. Actually...you would have to be crazy and fucking stupid to lay a penny on Woods.

Might as well light your cash on fire and make some smores.

I'd say opposite... you would have to be crazy to bet him at 60-1. If you think that has value, you clearly don't follow golf. The odds should be about 150-1 minimum.
