Golf Betting Betting on Golf is possible
because bookmakers give odds on players achieving certain targets during a
major tournament, one that is on a regular professional tour. They concentrate
on the two major tours, Europe and the US tour. There is also betting on the
Senior Tour (over 50s), WPGA Tour (womans) and sometimes one of the minor
tours. |

Types of Golf Bets There are many types
of golf bets from winning the tournament outright to anything a bookmaker can
think of. Here are the major types: |
Outright - Expressed as
O/R this is to win the whole tournament. |
72 Hole Match - This
shortened to 72H means simply a match between two players who are competing in
the tournament. The player with the lowest score after the finish is the
winner. |
Three Ball - Players
usually tee-off in groups of three known as three balls. This is betting on the
lowest 18 hole score of the three. Known as 3B. |
Two Ball - In the final
round of some tournaments players will tee-off in pairs. Same as above. Known
as 2B. |
Group - Bookmakers select
4,5 or 6 players to compare. Betting is on the lowest 4-round score from these
players only. |
Special Group - Often
bookmakers create a special market just for players from a particular country
or age group or something. There can be many players in this sort of
group. |

Bookmaker Accounts To place a bet online
or by telephone you must first have an account with the bookmaker. Online or
over the phone this will only take a few minutes and requires access of your
credit card or switch card. Residents or citizens of the U.S.A are generally
not accepted as customers because of U.S federal law prohibiting betting on the
internet. Most British based bookmakers are totally trustworthy as far as
credit card information. The larger bookmakers are trustworthy as far as
payment is concerned. To open an account online simply go to their website and
click on the Account Button. Check our Bookmaker guides. Once your account is
established you must transfer money into the Bookmaker Account inorder to place
a bet. Your winnings can be transfered straight back to the Card Account.
Telephone accounts will withdraw the money each time a bet is placed and sent
back afterwards. |

Following GGG Golf Bets GGG golf
recommendations state specific risk levels in units. To follow these guidelines
simply allow yourself a bankroll to gamble with and subdivide this into 200
units. Thus if you have £200 to gamble with, you are betting at £1
per unit. We cannot guarantee a profit but our results are posted for you to
check performance. Good luck. |

Bookmaker Rules Most of the bookmakers
have very similar rules concerning the settlement of golf bets. If you intend
to bet on golf it is advisable to aquaint yourself with them. There are a few
instances where rules differ from bookmaker to bookmaker but these are
generally when a player does not complete a round or the tournament. |
