🚫 Fades / Caution

• Rory McIlroy (+650): Missed cut 2 of last 4; Augusta “curse” still lingering

• Collin Morikawa (+1800): Lacks killer instinct; emotional collapse in 2024

• Justin Thomas (+2500): Missed last 2 Masters cuts; unreliable tee-to-green

• Max Homa: 5 straight missed cuts; Pat’s biggest fade

?"? Summary

Augusta National rewards:

• Elite ball striking

• Experience

• Clutch short game

Most sharp action seems to be fading Rory at short odds, waiting for better live odds on Scottie, and backing players with proven Augusta track records like Xander, Cam Smith, and Reed.

Bo and Pat both expect scoring in the -12 to -18 range, depending on firmness and wind.

What is Betting Against the Spread?

Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.

What is an Over/Under Bet?

Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.

What is a Moneyline Bet?

A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
