Paul Casey, Padraig Harrington Pay Big Heading Into US Masters ... - Gambling911.com

England's Paul Casey and Padraig Harrington offered outstanding odds heading into the US Masters Final Round on Sunday. Casey, who stood the best shot of winning the jacket being only four down from the lead, would pay out $750 for every $100 bet at Sportingbet.

Harrington, who won last year's British Open, was within striking distance, holding onto the number 10 position. He would pay out $8000 for every $100 bet.

Ireland's largest bookmaker, Paddy Power, reported its biggest losses of the year thanks to the Harrington bets.
