Bookmakers Report Ryder Cup Betting on US Team Odds

Bookmakers report immediate betting placed on the US Ryder Cup team odds after captain, Paul Azinger named his four wildcard picks. The picks contained one surprise in the form of Chad Campbell, he will join the other three, Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan and JB Holmes at the Valhalla golf club in Kentucky in 2 weeks time.

The bookies have reported plenty of money for the American team even before the full team was announced, this was due to the belief that European Captain, Nick Faldo has sabotaged his team's chances by the inclusion of Ian Poulter. With both teams now named and in the open, they can get on with the highly pressurised Ryder Cup event. It has become one of the most avidly followed sporting events on the planet, with many people suggesting that it is even bigger than the Olympics.

Azinger seemed very relaxed when making the announcement, he did not make any predictions, but was clearly relishing the prospect of leading the Americans in their efforts to regain the coveted trophy. The Americans have lost the last three matches and will not want to lose a fourth. The betting has the Europeans as 5/6 odds on favourites, while the Americans are 6/5 against. A 14-14 tie is a 9/1 shot.
