Tiger Woods will go on and beat Jack Nickolaus record of 18 major victories based on his performance in the US Open Monday. Woods shot an even par round of 71 before winning in sudden death at the 91st hole of a weekend spent struggling around the golf course and through his golf swing. To achieve this feat shows that Tiger is almost indefatigable. Next year the US Open returns to Bethpage and in 2010 Pebble Beach, the home of Tiger's first 2 dominant US Open Wins. Further, the British Open in 2010 will also be at St Andrews where Tiger is undefeated at 2 attempts. Then there is 2 trips to the Masters and the PGA. It appears unlikely Woods will make this years British Open with some much needed R&R on the knee with the British Open in only 5 weeks. Throw in 3 PGA's and I believe Tiger will reach 19 majors before the end of 2010.
The current bet of the week is to take Sweden on betfair at $44 to win Euro 2008. Sweden need only a draw to get into the last 8 and are paying $1.55 to achieve at least this result. Russia meanwhile can only qualify if they win (Paying $2.40) yet are at $46 for the overall tournament. This indicates nominal odds should Sweden win of $28 which is unlikely to be available if that occurs. My advice therefore is to back Sweden at $46, lay the $1.54-$1.57 on Sweden qualifying for the same amount (offsetting all risk) and then lay-off the bet on the $44 at what should be much lower odds of around $21 rather than the nominal $28 if Sweden does win.
