1 pitiful bettor correctly picked Cam Smith to win the Open. Just not the British Open

Have you ever placed a bet that you thought was a winner only to find out the bet you actually placed was slightly different? If not, you haven’t been betting long enough. Don’t worry, it’ll happen to you some day too — just maybe not to this extent.

Last Wednesday, a golf bettor put $75 on Cameron Smith to win the Open at +1998 odds – which Smith did on Sunday. The only problem is the bet was actually for the 2023 U.S. Open instead of the 2022 British Open.

Wrong year. Wrong major.
