Golf
Golf is an outdoor sport where mentality determines the outcome, so it's easy to aim for a long shot.
There are probably few other outdoor sports where such a quiet battle unfolds. The sight of the entire audience falling silent when a player stands in front of the ball is something you don't see in other sports.
Golf is a sport where players compete to see who can get the ball into the hole with the fewest number of strokes. The shots taken in a tense atmosphere where even a single mistake is not allowed are so intense that you can't help but take your breath away, even when watching through the TV. Even though it requires such concentration, the tournament lasts for four days and covers 72 holes, so you can see the mental strength of the top players.
When the Masters Tournament is held in the United States every April, top players gather and attract particular attention. The United States is the birthplace of golf and it is of course very popular, but golf is also popular in the UK, and the US Open and the British Open are tournaments that many fans pay attention to. Bookmakers also offer a wide range of betting options, so you can enjoy quiet but heated bets.
Main types of golf betting
There are many types of betting in golf, so here are some of them.
- Tournament winner (outright bet)
- This is a simple bet to predict which player will win the tournament. Predict the best golf player.
The conditions are simple and easy to understand, but since there are many players participating, the odds tend to be high and it is difficult to get it right. - Top 5, Top 10 finish
- Predict whether the target player will finish in the top places. Will they finish within the top 5 or within the top 10?
This bet has a higher chance of winning than predicting the exact winner, but of course the odds are lower. - Head to Head (H2H) bet
- Two players are targeted, and you predict which one will perform better in the tournament.
There are too many players in a tournament to keep track of all the players, but if you narrow down the comparison like with this bet, it is easy to look up the player's data, so it is easy to make predictions and is recommended for beginners. - Hole-by-hole bets (live bets)
- This applies to all events that occur on a hole.
For example, "Will the next shot be on the green?" or "Will the long putt be successful?" are all predictions that occur during a tournament, so you can enjoy a large number of bets.
A golf round is usually 18 holes. In tournaments, it is a long battle that lasts for a total of 72 holes over four days, so live bets that can be placed in real time are very popular. - Special bets (exotic bets)
- This is a bet that applies to rare cases such as "Will a hole-in-one be made?", and is in a sense a dream bet.
Many of the odds are high enough to make you dream, and it feels like a bet that seeks romance in gambling.
Tips for increasing your winning rate with golf bookmakers
In sports betting, data-oriented betting can increase your winning rate more than betting that relies on luck. Important information in golf is the player's natural ability and concentration. And the weather. Golf balls are significantly affected by rain and wind. This information is so important that the wind direction and wind strength are displayed on the screen even during TV broadcasts. Rain affects putting on the green.
The course on which the tournament is held is also important. Don't miss information such as terrain that is prone to wind, or many slopes that make it easy for the ball to roll, and by combining this with the players' performance, you can increase your winning rate.
