It will truly be interesting to see of the bookmakers have this right. But remember, it ain't really about who is actually going to win but how they are going to keep from losing a lot of $$$ or winning the same.


Here's an explanation from good, ole Wiki


In gambling, the odds on display do not represent the true chances (as imagined by the bookmaker) that the event will or will not occur, but are the amount that the bookmaker will pay out on a winning bet, together with the required stake. For instance, if the bookmaker offers odds of 4:6 against a certain horse winning a race, this means that he'll accept a $6 stake in return for a payoff of $4, plus return of the stake, if the horse wins. If the horse loses, the bookmaker keeps the stake. In formulating the odds to display the bookmaker will have included a profit margin which effectively means that the payout to a successful bettor is less than that represented by the true chance of the event occurring.


So, here's a few:


Phil Mickelson -160

Jordan Spieth -160

Rickie Fowler +105

Sergio Garcia Even

Tiger Woods +140
