Betting the Ryder Cup is different.
Two different betting strategies can be successful in typical golf tournaments. We can "bet with our hearts," whether it be a favorite player or a long-shot underdog. Or we can "bet with our brains," picking a winner based on a combination of player/course analysis and historical trends. They're two different bets, but should either win, the payout far exceeds the buy-in.
There's no such opportunity in the Ryder Cup. It's the United States or it's Europe.
So while my heart tells me one thing, here's what my brains tells me.
