And for those who aren't following the Masters, Tiger is currently one stroke off the lead, tied 6th place.
Update: Tiger won. Bettor wins big money.
Providing he didn't sell his ticket. Or lose it.

One Nevada bettor is going all in on the possibility of Tiger Woods winning this week's Masters. And by all in, we really mean all in—doing so in a way that would result in a record payday from one sportsbook. William Hill, the London-based casino conglomerate that operates 115 sports books in Nevada and others in states across the country, accepted a $85,000 bet on Tiger Woods to win the Masters at 14-1 from a customer in one of its Nevada books on Tuesday afternoon. We'll save you the math: The payout would be $1,190,000, which now accounts for the largest liability on a single wager in William Hill's U.S. history. When reached out on the phone on Tuesday evening, William Hill's Director of Trading Nick Bogdanovich said he thought the bettor—whom was likely a first-time customer at the book—had likely made a mistake when entering the wager.

(Reuters) - A Wisconsin man who bet $85,000 on Tiger Woods to win the Masters was handed a check for $1.275 million by bookmaker William Hill on Monday. A day after Woods came from behind to win his first major title in 11 years, a video circulating online showed James Adducci picking up his check at SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. The 39-year-old told Golf Digest that the 14-1 bet was his first sports wager. The stockbroker, who works from home, said he planned to spend the winnings on home improvements and paying off debts while investing the rest.

He can probably find somebody to buy that bet from him now

Tiger will crumble on Sunday, that's why he cried when he finished his round today.

And for those who understand statistics... front runners or close front runners don’t mean shite.

If he can afford to bet 85k on tiger then I’m thinking 1mil payout is nothing to him

Will bump when tiger finishes 100+.
Or when the guy wins a mill.

I was thinking Floyd Mayweather but he would have bet at least $100k.

The majority of Masters winners have come from the final 3 pairings.

85k is an interesting number. Why?

Because betting $86k would just be silly.
Posted on 4/13/19 at 12:07 am to tigerstripedjacket
Because $288 would have been two gross...

Does that mean that he could have risked $1.19 Million to win $85,000 if Tiger doesn't win?

Huh?

What a stupid bet.

What could he sell his ticket for? Double? And are they transferable?
