Is it patriotism or form that punters are using when placing their bets for the US Masters?
Either way, Aussies Adam Scott and Jason Day are attracting the most interest from punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au, with Scott not only the $10 favourite, but the best backed overall.
But it’s far from one way traffic, with Day the third best backed overall at $13, only behind Rory Mcilroy ($11).
Away from the top hopes, Zach Johnson has been well backed at $31, while after winning his way onto the tour, Matt Jones has also had some interest at long odds of $101.
And if punters want to make the US Masters an Aussie only affair, Sportsbet is also offering a top Aussie market where they can bet on which Australian will finished highest on the leaderboard.
Not surprisingly, Scott is the $1.83 favourite ahead of Day ($2.63), Leishman ($11) and Jones ($13).
“All the attention will be on Adam Scott and whether he can go back to back, but punters are thinking Jason Day has just as good of a chance. One punter got on Day when he was longer odds of $15 with a bet of $1,000. It could be a big weekend if he gets up,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
Giving even more value for punters, Sportsbet are paying out to the sixth place.
