Where could you bet on a Bridge event on the internet?

Thanks for help

Looks like it might be worth it to bet there... The inverse odds sum of the EC is just 1.229, not bad for a 35-way bet. Their predicted winner:

Italy: 55.0%
Poland: 9.5%
Norway: 7.4%
Sweden: 4.5%
Netherlands: 4.1%
France: 2.7%
Russia: 2.7%
Ireland: 2.4%
Other: 11.8%

Anyway Salokin, you would probably do best to check the tournament regulations about betting on an event you are participating in...

The Italians will almost certainly win it, but they aren't value. The Dutch have 3 very strong pairs and are probably the best value bet IMO.
