Bodog, the online leader in sports gambling , has introduced plenty of betting lines for head-to-head play between major players entered in this 2008 British Open at Royal Birkdale . Attempting to find a winner among 100-plus players can often be difficult, however; wagering on one specific golfer to best another can be plenty of fun, especially if you have more than “the average” persons knowledge of the PGA and European tours.
Some folks feel the luster is gone from the 2008 event due to the absence of World No. 1 player Tiger Woods combined with the question mark hanging over 2007 champ Padraig Harrington over a sprained wrist. So if you don’t know who to throw your money on then make a head to head bet.
[pictured: Phil Mickelson vs. Lee Westwood is a "hot bet" in Head-to-Head British Open wagering]
The match-up between Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood appears to be a hot bet. Mickelson has struggled in the Open over the years and failed to qualify in 2007. Westwood is a gambler favorite right now following his third place finish in last month’s US Open at Torrey Pines.
