RYDER CUP DAY THREE BETTING UPDATE: EUROPE POISED TO LIFT THE TROPHY
With the Europeans leading the Americans by a 9-6 margin, it the bookmakers have rapidly shifted the odds of the 2010 Ryder Cup in favour of team Europe as the likely victors.
As it currently stands, you can back Europe to lift the Ryder Cup at a slim 1.16 price tag with Ladbrokes while the USA is trading at a 4.5 price to pull off a nearly impossible result at this point.
Those looking for value will struggle trying to back the Europeans in any capacity so you will likely have to stray into the match handicap market.
You can back the Europeans to win on a (-4.0) handicap and you can lock in a solid 2.37 price on that one. USA (+4.0) is trading at 1.83 while the (-4.0) draw trades at 6.0.
The favoured correct score looks like Europe 15.5-12.5 at a 5.5 price tag while Europe 16.5-11.5 or Europe 16-12 both trade at 6.0 prices.
If the USA pulls off a victory it is favoured to be a 14.5-13.5 margin and you can back that at 13.0.
There is still more golf to be played and the Americans most certainly aren't completely out of it. As long as there are balls to be hit, this thing isn't done. The Americans will need to regroup and play error-free golf for the rest of the 2010 Ryder Cup if they're going to have any chance at this one.
