How to Bet on Golf

Why bet on Golf? Well the answer is very easy and simple - there is a lot of money to be made in golf betting.

Types of Betting

There are generally three different betting types a gambler can make for any given golf tournament. Bettors can wager on a particular golfer to win the event, wager that a golfer will place in the top three, or bet that a particular golfer finishes higher than another golfer.

A field bet is essentially a subset of picking a player across a tournament as the possible winner. This means looking to bet on players who are not likely to win a tournament.

The PGA golf odds will be anywhere from 2-1 up to 100-1 or more depending upon who the golfer is. Tiger Woods might be 2-1 while some unknown might be 100-1. If you happen to risk $100 on Woods and he wins at 2-1 then you win $200 plus your original $100 wager.

The last commonly placed bet in golf is head-to-head finish between two players. Here, a bettor doesn’t really care what place the golfer finishes in, as long as the golfer wagered on finishes higher than the other golfer.

A line for this type of bet will look something like:

Tiger Woods - 190 Steve Stricker + 150

Some of the top golf betting games are: Nassau, Round Robin, Sandies, Bingo Bango Bongo, Barkies, Wolf, Arnies, Aces and Deuces, Gruesome and Criers and Whiners.
