The 37th Ryder Cup gets underway next week and we will be carrying a huge range of bets. It is one of those classic confrotnations between Europe and America, this year at the Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Kentucky, with the United States looking to record their first tournament victory over Europe since 1999.
But you can have an early tester with a bet on anyone to score a hole in one - 7/2 says, 4/25 says no. What do you think?

Here we go! Saturday sees the real business of the Premier League back on the agenda with two classic confrontations. The £30million Dimitar Berbatov makes his debut for Manchester United at, of all places, Anfield against Liverpool. And if that is not enough the late kick off sees Chelsea travelling to Manchester City to face the Brazilian who eluded them in Robinho who cost a cool £32million paired with old boy Shaun Wright-Phillips. How will Big Phil Scolari respond? How will Mark Hughes line up his team?
The two managerless teams Newcastle and West Ham face promoted Hull and West Bromwich Albion respectively. Interesting stuff. Banana skins all round?

Yankee is one of those legendary complex bets that can magically work out like a royal flush in poker, but has a certain caution to it at the same time. The odds may be long but the stakes can be low. In reality it is four bets in 11 combinations. That is six doubles, four trebles and one accumulator for four correct results. Just pick four teams to win on the multiple bets column and the option appears underneath on the right hand column.
Wednesday’s World Cup qualifiers is a good example of how it can work. Say you fancy a bet on Russia, Azerbaijan, Northern Ireland and England all to win. If they all come up then £1 pays 26.50. But you can hedge your bets with a Yankee so an £11 bet pays £118.57. You win more money, but your risks is also contained. Or
Try a Home Countries Yankee - £11 pays a possible £876
