Open Championship Betting (Best Odds)

Gambling911.com believes the best Open Championship betting odds have come from Sportingbet.com, at least when comparing with their cousins across the big pond.

"I think you will find that Sportingbet.com on average pays about US$500 more than the US facing online sportsbooks with much of the field," observed Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor of Gambling911.com. 

The Open Championship has provided quite the traffic boost for Gambling911.com, especially when coupled with World Series of Poker coverage. 

"It's going to be a long night as we have our staff providing nonstop coverage of both Open Championship betting and the World Series of Poker main event," said O'Brien.

While the WSOP will conclude sometime around midnight Wednesday, the 2009 Open Championship kicks off Thursday morning. 

"Much of the betting will take place over the next few hours," O'Brien points out.

Tiger Woods was listed as the favorite at Sportingbet, paying 5/2 odds, a quarter or more better than most online bookmakers.

Defending Open Championship winner, two years straight, Padraig Harrington, would pay out US$3300 for every US$100 bet at Sportingbet.

The Open Championship is one of the United Kingdom's most bet on sporting events.

Sportingbet does not accept US citizens.   Those online sportsbooks that do accept US customers can be found here.
