What are the latest odds for the British Open, where can you watch the British Open 2021, and what are the best British Open 2021 predictions to bet on?
It’s that time of year again when we’re reminded that time is a flat circle and no matter how hard we try we always become our parents.
Watching golf on television is one of the most Dad things you can do, and once a guy hits a certain age he finds himself with a weekend tournament on in the background of whatever weekend activities are going on.
Evolution is a natural part of life, however, and today’s golf viewing is very different from what your dad probably did. Unless he was in with the neighborhood bookie, chances are he wasn’t as gambling as freely as today’s golf fans are.
With the British Open set to tee off this weekend, it’s time to channel your inner Dad and place some wagers that hopefully don’t leave you making a Mike Budenholzer grimace of panic.

British Open 2021 Prediction: Odds for the British Open
There will be a lot of temptation to take a Jon Rahm or a Jordan Spieth to play your luck this weekend. There’s nothing wrong with taking a betting-favorite to win the tournament, but it’s a lot more fun to make a few wagers on deep sleepers who could pay off big.
One of those guys is Lee Westwood, who sits with very tantalizing odds at +4000. He’s due for a major surge in one of these tournaments and visualizing Westood at least entering Sunday with a chance to win big on your bet doesn’t feel like a stretch from reality.
The safer “sleeper” play might be Justin Thomas — and “sleeper” is used very flexibly with him. He sits at +2000 which is still great value on a guy who has a proven track record of being atop the leaderboard in major tournaments.
