HOW TO PLACE A GOLF SPREAD BET

To place a bet, look at the Spreadex prediction or spread on the market in question. If you think the outcome will be higher than our price, then you would buy on the spread. If you think the outcome will be lower than our price, then you would sell on the spread.

The more right you are the more you can win, but the opposite is the case if you get it wrong, as you may lose more than your initial stake.

See below for more detailed descriptions of the golf betting markets offered.

GOLF SPREAD BETTING ‘BUY’ EXAMPLE

It’s the PGA Championship, and you have an inkling that Player A is going to do well, so take a look at Spreadex’s Leaderboard Index spread betting market. That is where 1st place receives 80 points, 2nd place 40, 3rd place 30, 4th place 25, 5th place 20, 6th place 15, 7th place 10 and 8th place 5.

Spreadex is offering a Player A Leaderboard Index spread of 10-13, so you buy £5 at 13. Player A has a solid showing, and finishes in 3rd place, leaving you with a profit of £85 ((30 – 13) x £5).

Even if Player A didn’t do as well, and finished in 5th place, you would still make a profit of £35 ((20 – 13) x £5).

However, if they finished outside the top 8, you would end up incurring a loss of £65 ((0 – 13) x £5).

GOLF SPREAD BETTING ‘SELL’ EXAMPLE

It’s the Masters, and you think the favourite’s chances are overrated, so take a look at Spreadex’s Leaderboard Index spread betting market.

Spreadex is offering a Player A Leaderboard Index spread of 11-14, so you sell £5 at 11. Player A flops hard, and finishes outside the top 8, leaving you with a profit of £55 ((11 – 0) x £5).

Even if Player A did place, and came in 8th, you would still end up with profit of £30 ((11 – 5) x £5).

But if Player A actually had a strong tournament, and finished in 3rd, you would incur a loss of £95 ((11 – 30) x £5).

In-play golf betting

10-3 Supremacy: Bet on the difference in shots between two named players over one round of a tournament with the spread based on the winner receiving 10 points, plus a further 3 points per shot won by.

10-3 Matchplay Supremacy: Bet on the difference in shots between two named players over one round of a matchplay tournament with the spread based on the winner receiving 10 points, plus a further 3 points per holes won by.

Live Index: Spread predicting how well a golfer will do in a particular tournament based on: 25 points if the player wins the tournament, 10 for second place and 5 for third. Our spreads are updated after each hole allowing you to open and close bets throughout the action.

Finishing position bets

On this market you can bet on where a named golfer will finish in a particular tournament, either with no limit on the highest finishing position a player can achieve or with a set maximum make-up on the highest finishing position a player can achieve.

For an example of how this works, Spreadex may quote a player’s Finishing Position spread as 41-44. If you think a player will finish better than 41st, then you would sell on the Spreadex quote. However, if you think the player will finish worse than 44th, then you would buy on the Spreadex quote.

Note that Dead Heat rules apply, so two players tied for 21st would both make-up at 21.5 ((21+22) /2).

Match bets

72-hole Match Bets: Bet on how two players will perform against each other over 72 holes of a tournament. Spreadex may make a prediction that Player A will beat Player B by 0.5-2 shots over 72 holes.

If Player A ends the tournament six under par and Player B ends one over par, the market will make-up at 7. However, if Player B ends four under par and Player A ends one under par, the market will make-up at -3.

10-3 Match Bets: Bet on how one named player will perform compared to another named player with the spread based on 10 points awarded to the player with eventual lowest score, plus a further three points per hole won by.

Index-based golf bets

Leaderboard: Bet on how a player will perform during a tournament with the spread based on: 80 points if the player finishes first, 40 for second place, 30 for third, 25 for fourth, 20 for fifth, 15 for sixth, 10 for seventh and 5 for eighth.

Hotshots: How many points a named group of golfers will score in a particular tournament depending upon their combined performance, with the spread based on: 25 points per named player finishing in the top 10 plus a 50 point bonus if any of the named players wins the tournament.

Super 10 Index: How many points any individual golfer from a named group of 10 players will score depending upon their finishing position in that group with their spread based on: 50 points if the player finishes first out of the named players, 30 for 2nd, 20 for 3rd, 10 for 4th.
