The bettor who won $1.2 million when Tiger Woods won the Masters is shooting for a larger score . And he is betting Tiger can flip his $100,000 bet into $10 million.
James Adducci (envisioned ) put a $100,000 stake on Woods to acquire the 2019 Grand Slam at 100-1 odds. Adducci flew out of his home in LaCrosse, Wisconsin to set the bet at SLS casino at Las Vegas, where William Hill US affirmed the wager at its sportsbook. That is the exact same casino and sportsbook at which Adduccti cashed in $1.2 million on his first sports bet on Woods.
“[William Hill] told me it is a bet that has never been seen before.” Adducci advised Golf Digest. “To earn $1 million is a step. To make $10 million is leaping to a new level.”
CAN TIGER DEFY THE ODDS?
Adducci’s bet on Woods isn’t best, and he could have gotten longer odds than 100-1 had he shopped around or asked the bet to other sportsbooks like Caesars. But Adducci stayed with William Hill US, and explained why he moved forward with another big bet on Tiger to catch all four majors and complete that the 2019 Grand Slam.
“Tiger has been winning at Bethpage, and he won at Pebble, from the biggest margin in history,” Adducci explained. “This is a very distinctive circumstance. That is how I am considering it. We know that with every triumph, the energy level will get amped up. His game gets elevated… he is the definition of progressing under pressure. That’s how my brain works.”
Woods winning the Grand Slam in a calendar year could be historical for him and the bettor, Adducci.
Just three golfers — Koepka, Spieth, and McIlroy — have won two majors in precisely the same calendar year since 2010. No one has won three in the same year because Tiger in 2000, and no player has ever won the modern era Grand Slam in reference to the Masters, US Open, The Open Championship, and PGA Championship.
