If last week was supposed to be the slowest betting week of the year, let’s just say those days are over. This week is a whole different story and with The Open, Tour de France Femmes, FIFA World Cup, Formula 1 etc, it’s time to get busy.
I’ve listed some of the hottest events taking place right now or coming up in the next few days. You will also find many of my favorite sports books where you can place your bets.
Let’s get this betting party going, shall we?
Get ready for The Open Championship
1) Golf – The Open Championship (July 20th – 23rd)
The Open Championship is one of the Golf Majors and a very popular one. All the best players in the world will be gathering at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club in England for a battle on a very challenging course this weekend.
Rory McIlroy won The Open back in 2014
Can He Do It Again?
If you remember, the last time the tournament was held at this particular course was all the way back in 2014, when Rory McIlroy beat out the rest of the competition to win it all. Clearly this is one of his favorite courses and surprise, surprise, Rory is the favorite to lift the trophy this weekend!

Team USA has done it before. Can they become World Champions again?
2) Football (Soccer) – FIFA Women’s World Cup (July 20th – August 20th)
Two islands far, far away are hosting this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup. Players from all corners of the world have made their way down to Australia and New Zealand and after having dealt with a very challenging jet lag, it’s time for kick off.
Anything Can Happen
As far as favorites and expectations go, it should come as no surprise that Team USA comes in under heavy pressure. Looking at the odds offered, England and Spain are expected to give them a run for their money. However, as round as the ball is, anything can happen in a tournament of this caliber.
Alex Morgan is the favorite to win the scoring title
Summer vs Winter Football
Something people and players take for granted in the World Cup is nice, warm weather. However, since it’s winter time down under, temperatures are expected to be around 14 degrees, making things a bit different.
What team can deal with the weather aspect the best?

The second edition of the rebirth of the Tour de France Femmes begins this Sunday. After a successful return last year, the race began on the legendary Champs-Élysées and Annemiek van Vleuten claimed both the yellow jersey and the overall title.
This year’s race 2023 will take the riders across a whole new area of France. How exciting!

Welcome to Hungary
4) Formula 1 Hungary GP Grand Prix (July 21st-23rd)
For all you speed freaks out there, it doesn’t get any better than Formula 1. This time the circus has found its way to Hungary for another Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen
Can Anyone Beat Max Verstappen?
The way Max Verstappen has been dominating the races makes him the clear favorite to cross the finish line before the competition. Can anyone get close enough to at least smell the fumes from his electrifying Red Bull car? I doubt it but nothing is guaranteed in this line of business.
