With the 2011 British Open at Royal St George’s, Sandwich teeing off on Thursday, the online bookmakers are rolling out their golf betting promotions to grab attention. Here are a selection of some of the top 2011 British Open golf betting promotions around online at the moment. For more about the 2011 British Open, see our full preview here!
Unibet McIlroy Refund
If the young Northern Irishman, and star, wins The Open, then the highly rated online bookmaker will refund all losing pre-tournament outright winner bets. So that means you have a punt on the likes of main challengers Lee Westwood or Luke Donald, with a bit of insurance if McIlroy steps up to the plate again. McIlroy is leading the way in 2011 British Open golf betting at the moment, but there is a competitive field lining up behind him. Unibet offer a £20 Risk Free bet for new customers opening an account with them. Remember, this McIlroy Refund offer is for pre-tournament outright winner bets only.
William Hill Free Bet
The ever popular online bookmaker William Hill have taken a slightly different route for their 2011 British Open golf betting promotion. This is a time sensitive one as well, because when you place a bet before Midnight on Thursday, July 14th on the outright winner for 2011 British Open golf betting, if the player you back misses the cut then William Hill will give you a free bet. Your selection will need to miss the cut by up to 3 shots to qualify for the free bet, but is a decent bit of coverage nonetheless for your 2011 British Open golf betting. New Customers signing up for an account with William Hill can use the special promo code F25 to get a free £25 bet.
BetFair 2nd Place Cash Back
The online betting exchange are running a 2011 British Open golf betting promotion as well for this week’s action on the links of Royal St George’s. When you place a £25 single bet or more on an outright winner bet, if your selection finishes second (not to anyone in particular), then BetFair will give you half of your lost stake back. This is valid up to a return of £50 and will cushion the blow of a bit of heartbreak if your selection just misses out. New customers to BetFair can earn a welcome bonus based on the amount of points earned, which basically equates to the fact that the bigger you bet, the bigger your welcome bonus between £10 and £1000.
Coral McIlroy Magic
You back any golfer to win the 2011 British Open in golf betting, and if your backed selection finishes second to US Open winner Rory McIlroy, the online bookmaker will pay you out as a winner! This is a decent 2011 British Open Golf Betting promotion from Coral, who offer a £25 free bet for new customers opening an account with them.
Boylesports Place Market to 8 Places
The popular online bookie is offering 8 places in place betting for the 2011 British Open. The place market betting offers an alternative to outright betting, but of course the prices are not as attractive because of the extra coverage that it provides. For example, Rory McIlroy is 13/8 to place at Boylesports which doesn’t offer a lot, but does allow you to dip further down the market to people like Padraig Harrington for 8/1 because quarter odds will be paid out to eight places at Royal St George’s. This is the market just to use as a back up really to outright winner betting. Boylesports offer £40 in free bets for new customers registering an account. Simple make your first bet with a stake of £20 and received a free bet of £40!
