80000 Bet On Tiger Woods
And the sportsbook isn’t too thrilled with it. Via USA TODAY Sports:
A bettor won nearly $1.2 million when Woods broke his 11-year majors drought with his fifth career win at the Masters. The person placed an $85,000 bet on Woods to win his 15th major at the William Hill locationinside SLS Las Vegas when the odds were 14-1 on April 9.
…Nick Bogdanovich, director of trading for William Hill U.S., told USA TODAY Sports that Woods’ win resulted in a loss of “seven figures” for the sportsbook.
“We got our tails kicked,” Bogdanovich said. “That’s just business. A guy drops money on the counter, we accept the wager, we pay and then we move on. Does it sting? Sure it stings, but it’s just part of the business. Tiger is Tiger. He’s the greatest golfer I’ve ever seen. Hopefully, we will get some new golf bettors out of it.”
Yup, it was a pretty awesome day for golf. And for whoever made that bet.
