The US Open wagering is obviously unique but this season it will likely be extra unique as the 2010 edition of the US Open Golf Championships will be hosted at Pebble Beach. As any sports wagering fan that has ever bet on US Open odds appreciates, this event and this golf course have a very unique relationship. The truth is, if the US Open wagering contest were ever choose a permanent site rather than the traditional rotation between top courses, there's no doubt that Pebble Beach would be its site of choice.

The US Open wagering action holds a special place in the hearts and minds of all golf wagering enthusiasts. It is certainly the most tough of any of the Majors and in a lot of years the most tough design of any championship on the golf wagering calendar.

With its sweeping views of the rugged Pacific Coast line and its magnificent signature holes, this year Pebble Beach will be as beautiful and breathtaking as ever.

But do not be fooled by what you see. This is still the hardest course layout of the year, and this is still the US Open wagering contest. Besides being as tough as ever, Pebble Beach will play especially tough throughout the US Open wagering championship as the tee boxes are going to be moved back, pin placements extended and the players must cover 7,040 yards in 18 holes following the Arnold Palmer renovations.

As soon as you combine the opportunity for wind gust to spray balls everywhere and that kind of distance with a links style course layout there is rather little margin for error.

Certainly when you're referring to that kind of distance it favors the long ball hitters and all but takes the European-style competitors from the golf wagering hunt.

It's little wonder that Tiger Woods is the US Open odds favorite at 6:1. And it is also no shocker that community #2 Phil Mickelson is second in the US Open odds at roughly 7:1. These two men are part of an elite group that is both long enough off the tee and precise enough with their wedges to conquer the Pebble Beach course, as well as obviously being the best competitors on the planet.

Even so, the opportunity for catastrophe is so high that just a few poor shots could undo their US Open wagering championship hopes and that leaves a lot of space for a dark horse contender to emerge in this year's wagering.

The US Open this year will be hosted from June 17-20. It's the first time to be played at the lovely Pebble Beach Golf Links since 2000, however the 5th time that it will likely be hosted there. It's also going to be the first year to test a new guideline on grooves. Under the new rule, grooves in clubs must have less volume and more rounded edges in an effort to limit the amount of spin. The concept is to pressure the player to concentrate more on maintaining the ball in the fairway than driving it far. Whether or not this new guideline has any effect at all on the US Open is still to be seen.
