I’m not a big golf fan - not even really a follower but something relaxing watching it on TV I found in past late at night so thought I might have a few fun bets.
Just wondered who on here likes golf and will be betting on The Masters?
Who are your fancies - I also noticed a few offers out there -
Betway (min £/€/$5 - max £/€/$20) on your first outright bet on a player to win (or the win part of e/w bets) they will pay you out as a winner if your man is leading end of the first round.
I also noticed Coral and Sky are paying down to 10th on e/w bets (1/5 odds) - though using OddsChecker there odds are worse than most other books so guess ya paying for those extra places in reduced prices.
Also the books that are paying 1/4 odds on each way places the best ones only seem to go down to 6 spots e/w (and they are Unibet and 888Sport).
Best place to see all these prices and offers and make a comparison is as usual OddsChecker (they don’t host every sports books prices but carry about 20 of them):
I went a bit mad - don’t even follow golf really but done over £110 in bets - so defo interested to watch this event now.
I found it hard to know whether it’s better to go for best odds or lesser odds but with sportsbooks that pay down further places in the e/w market.
Some books pay e/w 1/4 odds others 1/5 odds - again some pay e/w to 4,5,6,7,8 or 10 places.
I ended up going for the bigger e/w places but the only 2 books I found going to 10 places e/w were Corals and SkyBet - however both of them are only paying 1/5 odds e/w and generally were much skinner on their prices compared to elsewhere.
For instance Thomas Pieters who you went for I also did but only got 50’s with SkyBet - could and still can get 70’s elsewhere but not in e/w markets paying down to 10th place.
Any way here’s the prices I got (e/w terms) and Bookies I went with:
JASON DAY - 16/1 - £20 e/w (SkyBet / 10 places - 1/5 odds) = £40
Being new to golf betting I didn’t really understand about the dead-heat rules in e/w spots but found a good guide on SkyBet so thought I’d share a link 9in case anyone else needs to know or wants to bone up how it affects the e/w pay-outs)
Rory sadly had a meltdown - gonna be well down when I work this out - will post in a few days how much when I work it out exactly - no desire to right now been a bad weekend betting all around (even the footie didn’t go as I predicted).
On to next week…
Edit I finally worked out my Masters damage and -£68.65 down (would of been worse if Rory hadn’t of placed)!
