Record Golf Bet Wagered
An Irish golf punter has gambled £80,000 at 11/8 with William Hills on the Americans to beat Europe in the Ryder Cup golf tournament. This is the largest golf wager/bet on record.
The "record golf bet" will return £190,000 if the USA win, a profit of £110,000. Readabet.com reports William Hills have shortened the USA win odds to 11/10, moved Europe out to 10/11 favourites, with the draw at 9/1.
"For the first time the Ryder Cup could produce a bigger betting turnover than the Open Championship, we are anticipating that up to £25million will be gambled on what has become an absolutely huge event in the betting calendar" said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
