With the biggest golf betting online competition in the world going on right now, it’s the perfect chance to take a look at this year’s British Open sports gambling odds break down. As it’s every single player’s dream from the lowest golf tour all the way to the PGA Tour to win the British Open, the leading competitors in the world will be here in force, the same as with every British Open wagering tournament.



The Open Championship in 2010 is being put on from July 15th to the 18th.

There could not be a more fitting place to host the 150th British Open odds tournament, which is played this year at the birthplace of golf, Old St Andrews in Scotland. Nor could there be a better lineup of competitors challenging this year to hoist the Claret Jug when the golf wagering event is all said and done.

It’s actually no surprise heading the list of the 2010 British Open wagering odds to see World #1 Tiger Woods (5/1) at the top of the contenders list. He has won 3 British Open betting championships so far in his career –a couple of of them arriving at St Andrews- and has never lost a golf betting competition here as a pro. But that doesn’t change the reality that he hasn’t played well in the golf wagering events leading up this year’s British Open odds tournament, and he’s going through 1 of the greatest losing droughts of his career.

In the 1st round of this year’s Open, Woods was even for 8th place with a score of 5 under the par of 72. That is not lousy, but not fantastic for someone who is ranked number 1 in the world.

World #2 Phil Mickelson (16/1) is 2nd in the golf wagering odds. Lefty has never won a British Open wagering championship and in fact plays rather poorly at The Open. It will be crazy to bet on him this year. His greatest finish is third place in 2004. And in round 1, he finished with a score 1 above par, effectively putting him ten shots behind the leader of the Open so far, Rory McIlroy. With 9 below par, McIlroy concluded with the lowest score of the 1st round. It’d be nearly impossible for Mickelson to rebound from this.

Evened up with Mickelson in the odds is the hands down local favorite, young Rory McIlroy (16/1). Maybe there’s a great cause for that since he concluded the leader in the 1st round. Former victor Ernie Els has been performing well of late and comes in at 18/1 odds, as does the ever constant Lee Westwood. Next on the list is a very serious contender, Paddy Harrington (20/1), who hasn’t played well of late but having two of the past 3 British Open wagering championships always brings his A-game. Newly crowned US Open wagering victor and semi-local Graeme McDowell (25/1) is also someone to watch carefully as he’s as great as anyone in the windy, rainy North Atlantic weather.

And do not forget about someone who just could be the ultimate dark horse – two-time British Open wagering champ Long John Daly (125/1).
