Despite the recent dip in form of the World's number 1 following his well-publicised personal issues, the odds on Tiger Woods to win the US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits are as short as 8/1 in places. Extrabet are currently amongst the market leaders, however, with a win-only price of 12/1. Now that's not 24/1 I hear you shout! Well, that's where the new account offering from Extrabet comes in. Their new campaign (click here to register) offers an initial matched bet of up to £25 plus 2 further matched bets of £25 and £50 as you bet in the future. The first £25 matched bet is placed on your FIRST selection at the same price and stake so, in effect, your profit is doubled if your selection wins. So 12/1 becomes 24/1 instantly! Some examples of how this will return profit to you:
Stake £10 on Woods to win at 12/1, if he wins you get £240 winnings plus £10 stake back = £250
Stake £20 on Woods to win at 12/1, if he wins you get £480 winnings plus £20 stake back = £500
Stake Maximum £25 on Woods to win at 12/1, if he wins you get £600 winnings plus £25 stake back = £625
Remember, this is for new accounts only and the maximum matched bet is £25 (minimum £10) and must be your FIRST bet placed when opening your account. Full T&C's here - click the 'Find Out More' button when the homepage displays the £100 free bet deal. The numbers above are based on the current price of 12/1 as of 08:30BST 9.8.10 but naturally will change if the price on Woods changes - we'll endeavour to keep this page updated accordingly.
Naturally you can apply the same logic to any player if you don't fancy Woods - double the winnings on Phil Mickelson (currently 11/1 - so that doubles to 22/1) or the improving, well-suited Padraig Harrington (25/1 so that doubles to an incredible 50/1!) anyone?!

This is a cracking opportunity to get on the world number 1 at a price that may not be seen for an incredibly long time - plus having an Extrabet account is of great use anyway - we also use Extrabet for many of our top 5, 10 and 20 tips because they are the only bookmaker to pay out in full for ties - a real plus for any golf punter.
Extrabet offer a bit more than your average bookmaker, with spread betting and binary betting options available alongside standard fixed-odds betting. Another unique feature is the 'close bet' option where you can choose to close a bet before the end of an event whether it is in profit or loss - great in golf betting if you have a player who is performing well but likely to do a Garrigus! Gives you the option to lock in a profit, or mitigate losses, without needing to place any lay bets, provided the Extrabet market is open on that event (ie in-play or between rounds etc).
The Extrabet website is slick and easy to use; deposits and cash-outs are prompt and hassle-free. A very worthwhile addition to your portfolio of bookmaker accounts.
Good luck!
