Hawaii’s biggest surfing competition is only a few days away, and now is the time to check out the Billabong Pipe Masters betting odds set by NetBet Sportsbook!
The Billabong Pipe Masters was first created in 1970 to pit the top 45 surfers in the world against each other in Oahu’s famous Banzai Pipeline. It is considered one of the best (and most dangerous) places to surf in the world.
On December 8th, the first heat of the Billabong Pipe Masters will begin, and right now, NetBet Sportsook is already giving their members the chance to bet on the winner. At the top of the betting lines is American John John Florence, who at just 24 years of age is already considered one of the best pipe surfers of his era. Florence’s odds to win the Pipe Masters are 4.15.
The second favorite to win the Pipe Masters is the even younger Gabriel Medina, a 22 year old Brazilian who recently took first place at the Fiji Pro. Medina is not nearly as experienced as some of his competition, but he is still a massive favorite, according to many online sportsbooks in Australia, with odds of 5.30.
Underdogs to keep an eye on
One of the true veterans of professional surfing will look to win his eighth Billabong Pipe Masters this year. Kelly Slater has been a professional since 1990, and since become the most decorated surfer of all time. His odds to win this year are 5.50.
Joel Parkinson is one of the best Australian surfers in history. Many analysts of the sport predict he could be a dark horse in this competition, despite his ripe age of 35 in a sport filled with young 20’s athletes. Parkinson is number fifth in the Billabong Pipe Masters betting odds, as NetBet Sportsbook lists him as a 18.00 underdog to get the win.
