2008 Ryder Cup Golf Betting

The Ryder Cup has become a huge betting Tournament over the last few years, made so by the innovations of the Bookmakers, who allow 'backers' to bet on almost any aspect of the competition.

The most popular bet of course is to bet on the outright winning Team, but those who choose to, can bet on the winning score. The last two Matches for instance have ended with exactly the same score 18.5 pts to 9.5 pts in favour of the European Ryder Cup Team.

Bets on individual matches are also very popular and can provide rich pickings. It will be worthwhile for backers to look at the individual Ryder Cup results of the individual the players and see who have been winners in the past and who are likely to be winners again here.

An accumulator bet would be great fun too for the final days singles. Having a bet on the outcome of all 12 matches will make viewing considerably more exciting and might even make it profitable.

The American Ryder Cup Team should have the advantage, as they are the home side and in theory know the course far better than the Europeans.They will also be desperate to win having not held the trophy this century yet.

Another available bet is to select the player who hits the winning shot or which player gets the lowest score. There will also be fun bets available for scoring a 'Hole in One'.

Most Bookmakers will be offering in-playing odds too, so the more discerning golf fan can bet on the outcome having had a look at who is playing well. This is an excellent way of making a few pounds.
