US Open golf betting can involve either wagering on US Open golf odds regarding which player will be the overall tournament winner, or wagering on US Open odds established for individual matchups throughout the tournament.
Neither form of US Open betting is necessarily better than the other, and many US Open betting fans actually wager on both types of US Open golf odds. However, the key to successful US Open golf betting is finding value in the different US Open odds and wagering accordingly.
US Open betting on the tournament’s overall winner is perhaps the most common form of US Open golf betting. One common mistake that US Open golf betting enthusiasts make when wagering on such US Open odds is that they simply wager on the golfer they believe has the best chance to win the tournament. In 2009, therefore, many gamblers will simply automatically place their wagers on Tiger Woods. Tiger certainly has a very reasonable chance of winning the tournament, but that alone does not ensure that his US Open odds offer value. If the US Open betting line for Tiger, or any other golfer for that matter, is set such that the payout is too low in comparison to his likelihood of winning the tournament, then it is better to avoid US Open betting on such a golfer. On the other hand, even if a golfer, such as Ben Curtis or Ross Fisher, has a fairly low likelihood of actually winning the US Open, if the US Open betting line is set high enough then wagering on such a player can be very wise. Also, because the payout can be so large for such US Open betting, many bettors will wager on more than one golfer, thereby increasing their chances of picking the champion.
US Open betting on matchups should involve a similar type of analysis. In other words, one will not always want to simply wager on the US Open odds for the better golfer of the pair. In many instances, the underdog golfer’s US Open golf betting lines will present better value, even if his probability of winning is less. Also, US Open betting enthusiasts must be careful to analyze the matchup lines objectively after having placed wagers on the US Open betting odds for the tournament champion. Sometimes, bettors will allow their previous wagers on the overall winner to influence their subsequent wagers on matchups, which obviously does not involve the unbiased evaluation of the US Open betting lines that is ideal.
