2009 Golf Betting Online - Check out the Trends
Online golf betting has gathered momentum over the past few years. A few tournaments, such as US Masters, attract immense attention from sports gamblers from all over the globe. Taking off first among the four major championships in men’s professional golf, it sparks huge speculation among seasoned golf bettors.
There are a number of tournaments that take place over the year and all of them prove to be big draws for gamblers, not only because of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Zach Johnson, or Sergio Garcia. In recent years, low-profile players such as Argentina's Angel Cabrera have also been drawing the gamblers’ attention in a big way and that is one of the major trends of 2009 Golf Betting Online.
Tiger Woods remains the hot favorite of the season
An unmistakable 2009 Golf Betting Online trend that covers all the golf betting sports books is that Tiger Woods remains the undisputed favorite. At the recent US Masters, too, Tiger Woods commanded $150 for every $100 bet among the leading sports bookies. Some of them featured Tiger Woods betting props on how many Majors he will win in 2009, while four Majors were to pay $2000 for every $100 bet.
“A lot of people will place bets on Tiger (Woods) to win these events at short odds just because they consider his chances quite good,” Gambling911.com Senior Editor Payton O'Brien said.
It has been pointed out that for every $200 bet, a Tiger Woods win would pay $300. So far as things go in 2009 golf betting online, this has been considered quite a high return.
Beyond Tiger Woods
While an unmistakable keenness for Tiger Woods persists in 2009 golf betting online, gamblers are eager to put their money on the likes of Phil Mickelson too. He is reported to have the second shortest odds in the 2009 golf betting online season.
Betting on the non-listed golfers
Leading sports book SBG Global included in the 2009 golf betting online, the “field” option of golfers not listed. If they happen to win, these players would pay $800 for every $100. It was a trendsetting attempt on the part of SBG.
Betting on the British fairways
The British Open Golf Championship is creating quite a buzz in the circuits of 2009 golf betting online. Here the surprise factor is virtually non-existent, with Tiger Woods being the clear favorite and Padraig Harrington running a close second. Unlike US Masters, here the trend shows an unmistakable keenness for Sergio Garcia.
However Lee Westwood makes a good bet at the British championship; since his return to golf he has maintained his form consistently.
The 2009 US PGA Championship
The 2009 US PGA Championship will take place between August 10 and 16, 2009 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
The rivalry between Harrington and Garcia was the signature of the 2008 championship, and 2009 golf betting online trends suggest a wonderful battle among the finest golfers. Best bets would be on Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh, who are geared up for some fabulous shots on the greens.
Look out for 2009 golf betting online odds on the PGA Championship in the leading sports books. Do not underrate the PGA golf Championship among golf’s four major tournaments. It gives the same level of gambling opportunities as the US Masters, US Open and British Open earlier in the year.
A common 2009 golf betting online speculation is whether Colin Montgomerie can make it to the top or Adam Scott could finish in the top five. How would things be if there is a third-round three-ball between Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh and Tiger Woods? Keep guessing as the gamblers around the globe are doing.
Who makes it big in 2009 PGA tours is still unknown and that adds to the fun and thrill of betting. So don’t forget to bet on your favorite golfer and sign up for 2009 golf betting online.
