I love the Masters. I used to not really like watching golf, but DFS and sports betting has built my interest. The Masters has this special feel and I enjoy everything about it. I will fire too many bets. I will play too many DFS lineups. I will not care either way. I will enjoy the ride. We do have plenty of odds boosts offered by the books. Some are solid and you should be opting into and using. On the other hand, some are not great and priced where they should be.
I am firing on several players this weekend. Adam Scott has been in contention a bunch this season, but played his way out of it on Sundays. Collin Morikawa has won two majors and this is his third shot at Augusta. Willy Z does not have a win, but finished second here last year. Like most people, if he puts well anything can happen. Robert McIntyre played very well in his debut last year. He is a lefty and as you know, lefties play very well here. I would love a final pairing of any of these four on Sunday.
My Wagers
Adam Scott 60/1 FD (Now 55/1)
Morikawa 22/1 FD
Will Z 35/1 DK
Robert McIntyre 125/1 (Fox)
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!
Masters Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Winners Insurance If your bet finishes top-10 but does not win you get your wager refunded with a max of $25 (FD) It makes sense to opt in and wager $25 if Fan Duel has the best number on whomever you like.
Smith/Lowry/Home/Macintyre to all make the cut +200 (DK)
Smith is -700.
Homa is -215.
Macintyre is -215.
Lowry is -430.
This should pay +202 or so. This is not much of a boost at all. Pass for me.
Add +300 to anyone golfer’s odds to win the Masters (DK)
While I would use this if you are making only one wager. It is obviously more significant on one of the favorites or close to it. I will be using it on Morikawa.
DK has added Tiger insurance. If you bet Tiger to win and he withdrawals, you get a refund.
Bryson to finish top 10 +450 (DK)
Bryson is +320 on other books to finish top 10. I love him. Yet, he is hurt and not playing well. Please forgive me Bryson. Pass.
Daily Profit boost 18% (DK)
You can always wait for the first shot then make a wager on the event, boosted by 18%.
Tiger Woods to finish top 40 +100 (Fox Bet)
Tiger is -200 to finish top 40 on other websites. You get a -200 wager at +100. I am in.
Rahm/DJ/JT to all finish top 20 includes ties +300 (Fox Bet)
Rahm is -220.
JT is -170.
DJ is -135.
This should pay around +302. This is not a boost at all. Pass. I think the books are trying to trick you into betting these things that they sometimes do not allow to be parlayed.
