Bookmakers cannot split the USA and Europe in the Ryder Cup betting with both teams around the even money mark but Paddypower have taken the brave and potentially dangerous step of offering the same odds about both Europe and the USA at 21/10. The quote about Europe is the best on offer in the industry, with the Irish bookmaker beating all its rivals, including the exchanges. The next best available price on Europe winning the tournament, which gets under way at Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday is 10/11 with Bet365 and William Hill but Paddypower are fully expecting a flood of money to come for the European's at such a standout price over the next few days as the countdown to play nears. The tournament begins at 8:05 local time (13:05 BST) on Friday 19th September.

The European team will be bidding for their fourth consecutive Ryder Cup victory, with the last US triumph coming back in 1999. The European players have shown the best form in tour competition this year, with Padraig Harrington inparticular dominating the majors since Tiger Woods called an early end to his season through injury. Many Golf critics say Tiger isn't a great team player but his absence is sure to be a blow for the US. However, the USA cannot be written off, having only ever lost three times, out of 18 time of asking, when the Ryder Cup has been played on home soil.
Bookmakers are already predicting that the 2008 Ryder Cup will beat all previous betting records for the competiton, especially with both teams neck and neck in the odds. Europe will be sure to get plenty of support from punters on this side of the Atlantic, with Paddypower's current odds liekly to domainte the lions share of business. However, shrewder punters may well see some value in backing the USA at very appealing odds in what is a two horse race. Ladbrokes go the best price about the USA winning the trophy for the first time in nine years at odds of 5/4.
There are a wealth of other betting opportunities available on the Ryder Cup including odds on all the individual mathces as well as top players from each team, correct score, highest score, hole inones and many more. Betting In Play is also expected to attract plenty of interest over the three days as the odds will surely change hole by hole and match by match.
