Golf Odds and Lines

> Golf Betting Odds

With the advent of the FedEx Cup playoffs and the wrap-around season, golf is now a sport that you can bet on essentially year-round. Therefore, you should learn how to place golf bets, so that you're prepared when the sport starts to ramp up in April in time for the first major championship of the year, The Masters. Here are a few tips you need to know.

How To Pick A Winner?
Most of the tournaments on the PGA Tour or even the LPGA, European and Champions Tours, are held at the same course every year, so you can go back and look at which players fare the best at a certain place. Also, some players have a good skill set for a certain course, although the best are usually strong all-around players. Do they hit fairways consistently? How are they when it comes to putting? Do they need to scramble a lot? These are things you'll want to examine before placing your golf bets.

How Do The Odds Work?
When it comes to golf betting odds, there will usually be a list of players that are valued by moneyline betting, and the trick here is to look at the sign that comes before the number. Many of the players will have a positive sign in front of them, so for example, you might see a player rated at +600 to win a tournament. This means that you would win $600 off a $100 bet on that player; you don't have to bet $100 obviously, that is just a base number.

Then you might see some matchups involving two players and one would be an underdog with a positive sign, in which case, you would use the above formula. Then you would have the favorite, as shown by a negative sign, so a line like -150 means you would have to bet $150 to win $100.
