Betting Events for the week - part 1

Whilst betting on golf is not as popular as on other sports it does offer some great opportunities for punters willing to try something new. As such I'd like to present the Scottish Open as one golfing event that's coming up which makes for an excellent betting event. Furthermore it makes for a great warm-up before the start of The Open Championship which undoubtedly is the golf betting event of the year for UK punters.

On the flipside, even though Wimbledon has come to a close we have another opportunity for tennis bettors who want some more action with the Mercedes Cup, an ATP event, being played in Stuttgart this weekend.

Some resources for both events follow here:

Barclays Scottish Open (09.07-12.07)
- The official Barclays Scottish Open Site of course features a ton of information
- The PGA European Tour site also features a useful section on the event
- A great resource for punters is the Scottish Open Golf Betting Guide
- Here you can also find a short synopsis of The Scottish Open
- Be sure to read this Scottish Open Betting Preview
- For mainstream news coverage of the event I'd recommend the Guardian Golf News
- Lastly for live bookmaker odds comparisons see the Barclays Scottish Open Golf Betting Odds

Mercedes Cup Tennis Tournament (11.07-19.07)
- The official Mercedes Cup Site is a good starting point
- The ATP World Tour site of course also offers an overview of the event
- The Mercedes Cup Tennis Tournament site is an excellent resource for punters
- The UK Betting Guide also features a page on the Mercedes Cup
- For news the BBC Tennis News is always a good resource
- And for odds comparisons be sure to check out the Tennis Betting Odds Check

I'll be posting another betting event overview for the Irish Oaks later this week.
