Golf Betting Tips & Rules
Tips:
Research and Preparation:
With golf betting you must be prepared to do some research and to prepare for each golf tournament well. If you want to place a golf bet then you need to know the statistics of your golf player, their history in the event and course, their current for betting wisely.
Follow your head not your heart:
Many times golf betting is made from the heart and not the head. An example of this may be backing your favorite golf player in The Open instead of backing the golf player most likely to win. I suggest that you should always have a sentimental golf bet, but for your larger golf bets place your bet on research and not on sentimentality.
Rules:
Betting on all Major Golfing Events
Straight money line betting as well as match-ups.
Betting right up until tee-off time
In head-to-head golf match-ups, both golfers must tee-off in order to have action. If one golf player misses the cut, his opponent is deemed the winner. If both players miss the cut the lower score wins. If both players have the same score, then all wagers are refunded.
To Win a Tournament
All golf bets are treated as "All In". All players quoted have action regardless if a player withdraws before the tournament begins and are settled as a loss.
In the event of a tie where 3 or more competitors are offered in one betting option, the payout will be divided by the number of players tied. For example 2 golf players tie for the Top USA player at the British Open will result in the normal payout given divided by 2.
If a tournament is shortened, after it has started, then all bets stand. Bets accepted after the end of a day’s play are void unless there is further play, which counts towards the result of the tournament (other than a playoff). Or the betting is specifically stated to be on the outcome of a playoff.
If a golf tournament is officially abandoned, all bets on the tournament are void, except options that have already been decided.
