I’ll admit I’m not a gambling man. That’s probably a good thing given my luck in general the few times I’ve bought a lottery ticket or I’ve wagered a few dollars with a friend on the outcome of a ballgame. That being said, I just received an unsolicited email from a European betting service with a number of interesting “prop” bets for the 2017 Masters starting this week. Some of them are for things I never would have even thought of, but I thought it would be fun to share. There were too many to fit in a tweet so I’m posting them here for you to enjoy. I’m not providing the name of the service who sent me the email and I am not endorsing these by posting them here; so if you are a gambler, do so at your own risk. Enjoy the Masters!
