Bettors can get 25-1 odds that Nordegren will receive more than half a billion dollars in a divorce settlement.
The odds drop to 6-4 for a settlement under US$100 million. William Hill is offering only 1-2 odds that she would get between $100 million and $500 million.
At odds of 25-1, people who bet $1 and win will get $25 plus the $1 stake back. At 6-4 odds, a $4 bet will get $10 in return.
Turf Accountant William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said the company had been taking bets on how many women would come forward as alleged mistresses, but Adams said that was being discontinued since it was too difficult to verify.

Now this from AP news: An American junior hockey team is under fire from animal rights activists for killing a bat that flew into its arena during a game.
Coach Jon Cooper of the Green Bay Gamblers in Wisconsin on Wednesday defended his decision to send three of his players to go after the bat with sticks in hand.
Tori Perry of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says the team should have tried to net the animal and release it.
But Cooper tells WLUK-TV his concern was protecting the players and the hundreds of fans in the arena from any threat of rabies.

General Motors Co. has started to repay the loans it received from the U.S. Government next week and in a separate move announced that it will wind down Saab after talks to sell the brand to Dutch car maker Spyker Cars collapsed, the company said Friday.
The future of the Saab brand in in critical doubt after Swedish and Dutch car maker backed out of talks to purchase the line from GM. (Saturn has already gone the way of the Dodo!)
"Despite the best efforts of all involved, it has become very clear that the due diligence required to complete this complex transaction could not be executed in a reasonable time," GM Europe president Nick Reilly said in a statement. "In order to maintain operations, Saab needed a quick resolution."
The company thanked the Swedish government and Dutch officials at Spyker for their diligent work in trying to hammer out a deal, but expressed regret that it must now begin the process of winding up the brand.
"We will now proceed with the wind down as quickly and fairly as possible," GM vice-president John Smith said Friday.
That's quite a Saab story!
