Different Bet Types For Golf Tournaments

Matchup Betting Okay, in this type, the sportsbooks create a matchup between two players and whoever finishes higher in the grouping by the end of the match wins. Pretty simple. Of course, there is your standard moneyline on this. A plus for the underdog and a minus for the favorite. Here's an example:

Phil Mickelson +160 Tiger Woods -190 Just like your standard moneyline, a $100 bet on underdog Phil will yield $160 if he wins, and $190 bet on favorite Tiger will payout $100.

Betting to Win Here you have two ways to bet: a player to "win" or to "show." When you bet on a player to win, you simply place a bet on a player who will win the tournament. Sounds like a longshot? Don't worry, the odds usually gives you a good payout. A $100 wager on Phil might give you an $800 payout if he wins. If you bet on a player to show, all the golfer has to do is place anywhere from first to fourth or first to third (this may vary depending on the conditions listed in the sportsbooks) in the tournament rankings. This has less risk involved so the payout is much less. The books may give a three to one odds on this so a $100 bet on Tiger placing third will give you a $300 payout. That's not really bad if you think about it. If you need any kind of information on this article related topic click here: igkbet
