With the 2011 US Masters Tournament due to kick off at Augusta on Thursday (local time), Sportingbet is offering a free bonus bet on Australian players.
To participate, simply wager between $10 and $50 on the ‘Top Australian’ market, and Sportingbet will give you a free additional bet on that player in the outright winner market. At the time of writing, the available Australian player odds are as follows:
| Player | Top Australian | Overall Winner |
|---|---|---|
| Aaron Baddeley | 4.00 | 41.00 |
| Adam Scott | 4.50 | 67.00 |
| Geoff Ogilvy | 4.50 | 67.00 |
| Robert Allenby | 5.50 | 101.00 |
| Stuart Appleby | 7.00 | 101.00 |
| Jason Day | 7.00 | 101.00 |
Out of the non-Australian competitors, German golfer Martin Kaymer is my pick for the best value bet. Kaymer has been the No. 1 ranked golfer in the Official World Golf Rankings since 27 February 2011. He is currently the 5th favourite (depending on the bookmaker) with the following odds (subject to change):
- bet365 – 23.00
- Betfair – 25.00
- Centrebet – 19.00
- Luxbet – 21.00
- Readbet – 19.00
- Sportingbet – 21.00
- Sportsbet – 23.00
