Tournament Index
Spread betting firm will predict how a golfer will perform in relation to a
selected number of his/her competitors (usually 10). Only these 10 players count
for the bet, as a result your player does not necessarily need to win the tournament
for your bet to win.
1st = 50 points, 2nd = 30 points, 3rd = 20 points and 4th = 10 points
Leaderboard Index
A prediction on how well a player will perform in the tournament.
The points are awarded on the following basis:
1st = 60 points
2nd = 40 points
3rd = 30 points
4th = 25 points
5th = 20 points
6th = 15 points
7th = 10 points
8th = 5 points
All other players will score 0 pts.
Live Index
During the final round of most televised tournaments firms will offer live prices
as the action unfolds. Therefore you have the opportunity to outwit their market
makers as each shot is hit. The scoring system awards points as follows:
1st = 25pts, 2nd = 10pts, All others = 5pts.
Finishing Positions
For this market the firms predict the position a golfer will finish at the
end of a tournament. They will quote a price for a selection of golfers that
will reflect how well they think they will play. Please note that this market
differs from many others on offer because you should Go High (Buy) if you want
your selection to do badly, and Go Low (Sell) if you expect him to do well.
The maximum finishing position is 50 which includes players who miss the cut,
therefore even if you player finishes 65th he will still be assigned as finishing
50th for the purposes of this bet.
Hotshots Index
This is a market based on the performance of nominated golfers. Unless stated
otherwise, 25 points will be allocated for a top ten finish (including ties)
with a 25-point bonus for winning the tournament.
72 Hole Match Bets
For this bet the sites will pick two golfers and predict who will finish
higher at the end of the tournament. The make-up is the number of shots that
one beats the other by. If either player misses the cut, both players’
halfway scores will be doubled. NB - For this bet it does not matter where the
golfers finish in the tournament, or how any other of the competitors perform.
18 Hole Match Bets
A large number of 18 hole match bets are offered on every day of most tournaments.
In a similar way to the 72 Hole Match Bets, Two players are picked from the
whole field and a prediction of which golfer will win over 18 holes is offered.
A player is awarded 10 points for winning plus 3 points for each shot he wins
by.
