繁體中文Golf Betting Explained
Golf betting is dominated by large-field outright markets, which is why each-way bets are so common. This guide explains the main markets with hypothetical examples only.
- Golf fields are large, so winning outright is hard.
- It is a bet on which of three players in a single round's grouping scores lowest for that round.
- When players tie for a place, dead-heat rules split the stake and reduce the returns rather than paying full odds.
Outright winner
You back a player to win the tournament. Fields are large, so outright odds are long and the chance of any single player winning is small. See how betting odds work.
Each-way betting
Because fields are big, each-way is popular: half your stake on the win, half on a top finish (often top 5-8, set by the terms).
Matchups & 2/3-ball
Matchups pit two players against each other over a tournament; 2-ball and 3-ball markets cover a single round's grouping. These two-way and three-way bets are simpler than the outright.
Dead heat rules
Ties for a place are common in golf, so dead-heat rules frequently apply, splitting the stake and reducing returns. Read the each-way and dead-heat terms before betting.
