The bettor who won $1.2 million when Tiger Woods won the Masters is shooting to get a bigger score . And he’s betting Tiger can flip his $100,000 wager into $10 million.
James Adducci (envisioned ) placed a $100,000 stake on Woods to acquire the 2019 Grand Slam in 100-1 odds. Adducci flew out of his home in LaCrosse, Wisconsin to set the wager at SLS casino in Las Vegas, where William Hill US confirmed the bet at its sportsbook. That is the exact same casino and sportsbook at which Adduccti cashed in $1.2 million on his very first sports wager on Woods.
“[William Hill] told me it’s a bet that has never been seen before.” Adducci advised Golf Digest. “To make $1 million is a step. To make $10 million is jumping to a different level.”
CAN TIGER DEFY THE ODDS?
Adducci’s wager on Woods is not best, and he could have gotten more odds than 100-1 had he shopped around or requested the bet to other sportsbooks such as Caesars. However, Adducci stayed with William Hill US, and explained why he went ahead with another major bet on Tiger to capture all four majors and complete the 2019 Grand Slam.
“Tiger has history winning at Bethpage, and he won at Pebble, by the largest margin ever,” Adducci explained. “This is a really unique situation. That’s the way I am considering it. We know that with every triumph, the energy level will soon get amped up. His match gets raised… he is the definition of excelling under pressure. That is how my mind works.”
Woods winning the Grand Slam at a calendar year could be historic for both him and the bettor, Adducci.
Just three golfers — Koepka, Spieth, and McIlroy — have won two majors in precisely the exact same calendar year because 2010. Nobody has won three in the same year because Tiger in 2000, and no player has won the modern age Grand Slam in reference to the Masters, US Open, The Open Championship, and PGA Championship.
