A group of American fans watch the 2022 Open by winning basketball bets
Beliveau's group of college friends has seven members who have played together for nearly 20 years and organize a celebration trip every year. This year, they hope to get a lifetime experience by watching the 150th match between the Royal and Ancient Open at the Old Course of St Andrews Club-which is believed to be the origin of golf. Beliveau, who loves golf and goes to school, has been planning with his friends since late last year.
However, it is expected that the trip will be very expensive, with air tickets, prize tickets and accommodation costing thousands of dollars per person.
Believo also loves basketball and is a "life and death fan" of Golden State Warriors. And depending on the form, Believeau believes the home team has the ability to win the NBA title in 2021-2022, so he discussed the stakes with friends and tried his luck by the way to make money in Scotland. The group agreed.
Since sports betting is not yet legal in Minnesota, Believo and three team members had to travel to Iowa to bet.
"Every counter we go to puts money in," Beliveau said on Golf.com on July 16. Initially, the Warriors won the NBA at odds of 1-10. After half a season, the team was in good shape, so the score dropped to 1-6. But Beliveau's team doubled its investment to a total of $6,000, eventually earning $30,000 when the Warriors beat the Boston Celtics in the final.
Entering St Andrews, they rented the house for $18,000 via the Airbnb platform. Cross the street from your residence to No.18 Green Hole. From this place, the Beliveau team can see the stars in hole one, just as they saw Rory McIlroy in the third round. "I think the accommodation is worth the money, so it is convenient to see, so I don't need to go to the public toilet." Another team member expressed satisfaction.
The Beliveau team also bet McIlroy would win The Open 2022 to earn money to watch the Ole Miss Rebels rugby team play next month.
However, McIlroy only ranked third, and Cup Claret Jug and $2.5 million were handed over to Cameron Smith at the end of the competition in Leon Lai Ming on July 18th, Hanoi time.
