1930 British Open Betting Odds

Pari-Mutual Card

(Bobby Jones Grand Slam)

         Now this is a cool piece that we "bet" you've never seen before.

        Offered here is an original 1930 Pari-mutual document containing the betting odds for the 1930 Open Championship. That's right, the original owner of this could have placed wagers on this historic golf tournament - and we certainly hope he bet on Bobby Jones!

        This Betting Odds list was produced by the South Wales Pari-Mutual Co. and was specifically produced for the U.S. market to place bets with the UK bookmaker. With the benefit of hindsight, Bobby Jones at 10-1 odds seems like a gift!

        When opened, this piece measures 7" x 9".
