Next week, the 2010 US Open gets underway and one leading bookmaker are refunding all losing bets if Andy Murray win the Men’s singles. Stan James, top bookmaker are offering new customers a £25 free bet when opening an account using bonus code MAXIMUMBONUS. On the US Open as a free bet, they are offering to refund all losing bets, should Murray win his first Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows.

Stan James’ Head of PR Charlie McCann said, “A beaten finalist in 2008 Murray comes into the tournament on a high having beaten both Nadal and Federer en route to the title in Toronto last week but we think once again he will fall short of that elusive first Grand Slam. Federer suggested he was peaking at the right time when winning in Cincinnati at the weekend and the five-time champion remains the one to beat and is our 11/5 favorite. Nadal has never won in New York and will be looking to land the only Grand Slam to have eluded the Spaniard and we think Murray will remain the bridesmaid for another year.”

On the US Open as a free bet, Stan James will refund all losing outright bets if British number one Andy Murray wins the title at Flushing Meadows.

The US Open is the last chance for Murray to win a Grand Slam event in 2010 and it is the final major of the year. Stan James aren’t expecting the Brit to win at Flushing Meadows, although the Brit is playing some great tennis recently.

Therefore, they will refund the stake as a free bet if a bet is placed on the US Open men’s outright market and Murray wins the tournament.
For this great offer, all you need to do is to place a bet on the men’s outright championship at the US Open. If Murray wins, then Stan James will refund your losing stake as a free bet. You can’t say fairer than that!

On both the PGA Tour and the European Tour, Ian Poulter, an English professional golfer who has established himself. To date, he has one win on the PGA Tour (which he joined in 2005) and nine wins on the European Tour (which he joined in 2000).

Poulter, sports betting blog favorite, will be playing for his first US major championship at the US Open at Pebble Beach, starting June 17 at the US Open.

A relatively new golfer on the PGA Tour, Poulter, has yet to win a US major championship. In 2008, when he finished second at the Open Championship, the closest he has come to winning one. He has played in six US Opens but has not fared very well. Most recently, at the 2010 Masters, he is coming off a 10th place finish.

Poulter played the first US Open in 2004. First US Open experience for Poulter was not great. He missed the halfway cut. Slightly better results were yielded the following year. He finished in a tie for 57th place.

In 2006 at Winged Foot, Poulter had his most successful US Open. For 12th place, he ended up in a tie, marking the only time Poulter has finished in the top 15 of the tournament.

Last year at Bethpage, came Poulter’s only other top 20 finish in the US Open. For 18th place, he finished in a tie. It came a year after he withdrew from the 2008 US Open.

In years past, although Poulter has not had substantial success at the US Open, he is the sixth-ranked golfer in the world who has gained valuable experience playing in the tournament.

From June 17 to June 20, Jim Furyk will go for his second career US Open championship at Pebble Beach. Furyk is currently the fifth-ranked golfer in the world and is coming off of a disappointing finish at the Master’s this past April in which he missed the half-way cut.

Furyk’s first major tournament came in 1994 at the US Open. He finished 28th overall. After not playing in the US Open the following year, Furyk finished in ties for fifth in both the 1996 and 1997 US Opens. Furyk’s fifth place finish at the 1996 US Open was his first notable finish in any major.

The next five US Opens were disappointments for PGA betting star, Furyk. From 1998 to 2001, his finishes got progressively worse and in 2002, he completely missed the half-way cut.

Furyk’s struggles at the US Open make his success at the 2003 US Open even more interesting. The tournament took place at Olympic Fields Country Club in Illinois and Furyk was masterful. He used final round scores of 67, 66, and 67 in the first three rounds to give him a dominant ten under par score going into the final round. In the final round, he slipped by the standards he had set in the first three rounds, shooting a 72. However, he had established enough distance between him and his competitors that it wasn’t a problem. His final eight under was good enough for his first major championship.
In 2006 and 2007, Furyk repeated as a second-place finisher at the US Open. He needed par on the 18th hole in the 2006 Open in order to force a playoff but ended up bogeying. He tied with Tiger Woods for second at the 2007 Open at plus six, one stroke behind tournament champion Ángel Cabrera.

Every year, the U.S. Open rolls around and sports fanatics everywhere are forced to pick a tournament favorite. The questions are: where do you stand when it comes to picking the athlete that you feel will come out victorious?

The number one pick, also the reigning champion for the past 5 years, is none other than Roger Federer. He has won 16 Grand Slam single titles, which is more than any other male player. So far this year, Federer has played in four tournaments, with a win at the Australian Open over Briton Andy Murray.

Giving Roger Federer a run for his money is Andy Murray. Murray was defeated by Federer earlier this year at the 2010 Australian Open. This defensive, counter-puncher is young, determined and, being recognized as “the first British man to reach more than one Grand Slam final in 72 years”, is going to come out swinging.

Rafael Nadal is no stranger to the game or to the U.S. Open. Being labeled as one of Federer’s top rivals, Nadal knows that he must come out and give it his all, which makes him a very big threat on the court.

Following closely behind Rafael Nadal is going to be Novak Djokovic. This Serbian native won the Australian Open back in 2008 and, for the first time ever, defended his title at the 2010 Dubai Tennis Championship after winning it in 2009.

And lastly, don’t forget about Andy Roddick. Coming in behind Federer in the U.S. Open for so many years, he is not going to go down easily. Although he did not win the Australian Open this year, he did pull of a victory over world #11, Fernando Gonzalez.

Some exciting tennis is promised to feature in the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Florida. The event that lasts until April 4 is expected to start on March 22. The Sony Ericsson Open is a unique tournament, as it features the world’s best male and female tennis players sharing the same venues simultaneously. Behind Grand Slams, without a doubt, it’s one of the most important tournaments.

As the top players visit the American hard courts for the spring season, the preview for the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open is definitely exciting. First of all, right after another major tournament, the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California this event will be played. The Indian Wells tournament will play a major role in the confidence and performance of the players as they enter the Sony Ericsson Open. Tennis Betting odds are always available.

Roger Federer and Serena Williams, the World’s number one players and the 2010 Australian Open champions, are expected to play the Sony Ericsson Open. To win the tournament, Federer and Williams are the hot favorites.

On the men’s side, from top players such as Novak Djokovic (#2) and Rafael Nadal (#4) Federer is expected to face some heavy competition. Andy Murray, the last year’s champion, enters the tournament ranked number 3 in the world. Murray has a great chance to defend his title in Miami despite losing to Federer in this year’s Australian Open final.

On the women’s side, a major contender for the title is Victoria Azarenka besides Serena Williams. As Azarenka beat Williams here in the final last year, the currently #7 ranked is the defending champion. Azarenka will remember her tough 3 set loss to Serena Williams at this year’s Australian Open, and will seek some revenge on the Miami hard courts. Many online sportsbooks offer sports betting odds on Tennis.
