2005 British Open Betting Preview
17th June 2008, by
Centrebet offers 2005 British Open golf betting odds as part of its undying commitment to service its clients with the world's best online sports betting product. The brainchild of Colonel James Fairlie and the Earl of Eglinton, the British Open dates back to 1860 when Willie Park won a 36-hole event at Prestwick. Only eight golfers participated in the first British Open championship. Now many thousands of amateurs and professionals enter the oldest golf tournament of the lot, with 156 qualifying for the four rounds that attract a global television audience. The British Open is one of golf's four majors. The other three are the US Masters, US Open and US PGA Championship.
What Are The British Open Betting Options?
You do not have to pick the winner of the British Open to make money. Of course, Centrebet's British Open golf betting odds make it possible for you to bet on the golfer's name that the R&A's top silversmith engraves on the Claret Jug at the end of the competition, but there are many more options from which to choose. Betting on the lowest scorer in a two- or three-golfer playing group accounts is extremely popular and accounts for much of Centrebet's golf betting business.
Who Are The British Open Betting Favourites?
Golfers with imagination and the ability to control their golf ball in howling winds are ones to highlight on British Open betting lists. You can almost guarantee that British and Irish golfers grew up playing on coastal links, whereas sea breezes and savage bunkers scare the living daylights out of those who honed their skills on planned courses far from the coast. Someone who does well in British Open competitions is Jesper Parnevik. The Swedish eccentric thinks outside the box and is accurate in gusty conditions. He is one to consider at a working man's win price.
Centrebet also usually provides a comprehensive British Open betting form guide during the week before the Open, to assist punters to assess the form. Centrebet covers all the golf majors, offering US Open prices, US Masters betting odds, and US PGA Championship books.
