Golf Betting - BMW PGA

By Chris Shillington on 20 May 2010 at 13:12

Golf betting continues to be one of the biggest growing sports at online bookmaker extrabet. With the BMW PGA starting at Wentworth on Friday and the US Open at Pebble Beach in a month there is plenty for golf punters to get their teeth into.

Betting on the PGA Championship has been furious this week with punters looking to take advantage of the array of changes at the world famous Wentworth course. Lee Westwood has been backed from 12/1 in to 10/1 at extrabet as well as Paul Casey in from 18/1 into 14/1. However the real shrewd money is on Martin Kaymer. The German has recently had a pin taken out of his troublesome foot and word inside the ropes is that he has played some sensational practise rounds in the last few days. extrabet have had to cut him from 20/1 into 16/1 and still the punters come.

Elsewhere extrabet are still the ONLY firm in the betting market to pay out in full on Ties for the Top 5, Top 10 and Top 20 markets.

Chris Shillington has been speaking with extrabet’s golf traders ...
“The boys tell me that they’ve rarely seen such heavy business on a Tuesday for a non-Major tournament. With all the new changes at Wentworth punters are hoping to leg one over on us this year!”
