Open Golf betting guide with VCbet bookmaker

The Open Championship at St Andrews: Golf betting preview

The two most recent Open Golf Championships at St Andrews have produced a couple of 750/1 long shots (Ben Curtis & Todd Hamilton) but the pundits reckon there will be no shocks this time.

Historically the winner has typically been a huge star. Winners include Jack Nicklaus, Severiano Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, John Daly and, of course, Tiger Woods. This year could also go the way of a big name.

VCbet have reported heavy support for Woods (11/4), Davis Love (28/1), Garcia (20/1) and Adam Scott at 33/1 in their Open Golf betting. However we are going to take on all these worthy players with a player who is slightly out of favour with punters and that is Phil Mickleson (18/1 at VCbet).

He has a game made for this links course and he can produce the goods at the highest level. 18/1 looks an outstanding value golf bet.

One of Mickelson’s biggest problems has been his accuracy off the tee but at St Andrews there is plenty of space. The winner will putt and scramble the best. There aren’t many better at that than Mickelson. Remember, he was the 2004 Augusta champion.

Another short game wizard but at massive betting odds with VCbet is 80-1 outsider Olazabal. He can give a good account of himself and appeals as cracking each-way betting value.

Luke Donald has a big fan base but his game is not suited to a links course. He has failed to make a single Open cut. Take him on. If you find 7/2 or bigger about Donald missing the cut then have a wager.
