How Do I Open an Online Betting Account for the Masters?

You can open an online betting account to wager on this year's Masters and anything else for that matter by visiting any one of the websites endorsed by Gambling911.com including one, Bookmaker.eu, that has been in business since 1986 (previously as a call center). 

What I Need to Begin

You will need to provide accurate information including an active email and current mailing address.  When requesting a payout, the betting site will need to know where to send the money, not to mention they need to know they are sending to the right person. 

Most online betting sites are based outside the United States in Costa Rica (catering mostly to the North and South American market) and Malta (catering primarily to the European market).  Rarely will you be asked for your social security number or tax ID (note that companies based in the United States often are requred to do so).  

Just as with your banking activities, create a secure password, write it down somewhere nobody else has access to and make sure to enter it when logging onto your online betting account.  NEVER provide your password when calling in.  They will ask for your USER NAME ONLY.

Once you are ready, it's time to set up the account.

Funding Your Account

You will be sending money that if yours on deposit to bet with.  The more you send, the higher the bonus.  Any bonus money offered can be obtained once you reach a required rollover (how many times over you wager your initial deposit).  A $500 deposit with a 10x rollover would require you to wager $500 X 10 or $5000 before claiming that free money.  This is easy enough to achieve if you are an avid sports bettor.

Funding your account can be done through a credit card, cash transfers, and - the most popular method today - cryptocurrency such as bitcoin.  These cryptocurrency accounts can be linked to an active bank account with bitcoin converted to your local currency.   1 bitcoin = 6,684.00 US Dollar but you don't need to be depositing $6684.  If you deposit US$300 through a cryptocurrency exchange, that US$300 will be converted into 0.045 bitcoin.  If you win US$300, the sportsbook will send you 0.045 bitcoin and it will be converted to that US$300 in approximately 45 minutes. 

Typically you only have to deposit a minimum of $50 with bets as low as $5.

Betting the Masters

You can wager on the ultimate winner, the top finisher in a specific region such as the United States, Asia and Europe and you can bet individual matchups.

Tiger Woods was listed at 12/1 odds to win.  This means Woods would pay out $1200 for every $100 bet or $120 for every $10 bet.

Sometimes odds are listed as such: +1200.  A $100 bet pays $1200.  If you see odds of +2000, a $100 bet pays $2000.  Take away a zero when betting $10.

Here are your odds to win the 2018 Masters:
