golf
spread betting
types of golf spread bets:
tournament index
in this market we will predict how a golfer will perform
in relation to a selected number of his/her competitors
(usually 10).
it is important to note that 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.
within the index, points are awarded as follows:
1st = 50 points, 2nd = 30 points, 3rd = 20 points and 4th
= 10 points
leaderboard index
we will simply predict how well every player will perform
in the tournament.
the difference between this and the main tournament index
is that every player in the competition counts. the players
within the leaderboard index correspond with those leading
the tournament, so other players may be quoted as the tournament
progresses.
for a typical leaderboard index, points are awarded as
follows:
1st = 60 points, 2nd = 40 points, 3rd = 30 points 4th =
25 points, 5th = 20 points, 6th = 15 points, 7th = 10 points,
8th = 5 points
finishing positions
for this market we predict the position a golfer will finish
at the end of a tournament. we will quote a price for a
selection of golfers that will reflect how well we think
they will play. please note that this market differs from
many others we 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.
