Sports Betting Fans May Choose To Back Europe For Ryder Cup

Louis Oosthuizen secured his first major by winning the Open yesterday.

Following yesterday's (July 18th) finale of the Open championship at St Andrews, sports betting fans may be turning their attention to October's Ryder Cup.

The famous contest is due to be held at Celtic Manor in Wales, with bookmakers rating Europe as hot favourites to defeat their American counterparts.

Online gambling website visitors can visit 888sport.com, where they will be offered odds of 4/7 on Colin Montgomerie's men triumphing.

However, those who fancy a return to form for the likes of Tiger Woods could back the Americans at odds of 15/8.

A tie is of course a possibility - and would see America retain the trophy having won it on home soil two years ago - with this eventuality priced at 10/1.

South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen secured the Open yesterday by seven strokes ahead of England's Lee Westwood, with Rory McIlroy a further shot behind, in a surprise result that may have been good news for bookmakers.
