Betting on tournament winners is the most popular form of betting among golf odds at betting companies as this is the simplest variant. You simply choose the participant you think will be the final winner. The players are ranked and the odds are set accordingly. But golf can be a rather strange sport in that the biggest favorite is far from always winning and it can be tricky to score correctly. Especially in the bigger tournaments. But with a little luck, you can land a good profit and it is also possible to spread your efforts. You can, for example, distribute X number of kronor as a percentage where you put the largest share on the player you think is the big favorite, and lower shares on some outsiders.
It is also possible, as in other sports, to place bets instead. Where the contestants only need to finish among the best and not necessarily win. Here, the odds are always lower compared to what they are on the same player to take home the entire competition, but the chance of a winning bet increases drastically. Similarly, betting companies have developed golf odds they call 2-ball or 3-ball. Here, they have simply selected two and three players, respectively, where you must choose which of these will go around for the best of the day. It will be a kind of duel, and the two and three selected do not even have to go on the track at the same time. One of them can start far ahead and the other far behind, but the excitement is no less for that. If one of the players has already completed his 18 holes, the second or third may have just started hitting the sixth hole, and it can be really exciting to follow. It adds a whole new dimension in a way, without any of the players you follow even having to place themselves on the podium in the end.
For odds closer to those you see in football and matches, there is a richer range than you might first think, but also more overall when it comes to scoring winners has variation. In some cases, it is possible to bet on what nationality the winner of the tournament will have. In other words, you do not have to be so specific and choose a single name, it is enough to dot the country the player comes from. That an American will win the US Open, or a Scot will win the British Open.
Live Golf betting
As with most sports today, you can play before a competition or on a player before he goes out on the court, and you can make bets in the middle of an ongoing game. If, for example, you have played 3-ball and the first player is out on hole 10 while the others are behind on other holes, then it is possible to bet on which of the three will succeed, say course 15, on the least number of strokes. If you know your golf and maybe even the course, it is very possible that a specific hole makes it especially for many players. And it is precisely this hole that it is believed that one of the three players will succeed best with. This increases the entertainment even more and creates new elements, compared to only playing on winners in a tournament and then having to wait until it is finished playing after several days.
