The Open Championship 2011 betting

Claret Jug: The Open Championship prize (credit: Wikipedia)
The season’s third Major, The Open Championship 2011, gets under way on Thursday and there are a number of online bookmakers for you to do your betting with.

The elite of the golfing world, including current world number one Luke Donald, will descend on Royal St George’s Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent for the tournament, and there are plenty of markets and promotions to cater for your Open Championship 2011 betting needs.

One of the biggest and most trusted bookmakers is Bet365. The firm offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers and is offering 1/4 odds on the top six each way. They also have the best price available on tournament favourite Rory McIlroy, who romped to victory at the US Open last month, and is fancied to secure his second Major title of 2011 at Royal St George’s.

SportingBet, who currently offer new customers an £25 bonus upon registration with bonus code MAXIMUMBONUS. The firm have some of the most competitive odds and are top price on the likes of Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Nick Watney, who are three of the golfers at the head of the Open Championship 2011 betting. They will pay 1/4 odds on the top five finishers each way on the tournament.

SkyBet, who are rewarding new customers with up to £35 in free bets, are also offering 1/4 odds on the top six each way, but what is notable from the bookmaker are some rather interesting specials. Will there be a left-handed winner? Will a first-round leader miss the cut? Will the likes of Martin Kaymer and Sergio Garcia sink a hole-in-one?

These three bookmakers are not the only ones offering special promotions on the Open Championship, and we have collated the “best of the rest” HERE.

Of course the bookies are offering odds on the outright winner's market in Open Championship betting, but there is much more than that for punters to sink their teeth with top-10 and top-20 markets available, as well as the nationality markets. The chances of a home-grown winner may have never been this good with the world’s top two, Donald and Lee Westwood, leading the charge for England. But it does not stop there with Paul Casey and Ian Poulter also contenders for the prize, meaning the Top Englishman market could be one to look at.

The First-round leader market could prove lucrative in Open Championship betting if one of the sport’s less heralded names gets off to a fast start. Although they did not lead the way after 18 holes last year, the likes of Andrew Coltart and Steven Tiley made superb starts and there is every chance that someone could go one better this time around and give us a surprise name at the summit heading into day two.

It is safe to say that there is plenty to choose from when doing your Open Championship 2011 betting, and the tournament winner may not be the only one celebrating on Sunday evening.
