In this Betiton online golf betting guide, we’ll explore the sport’s markets and most popular wager types.

Betiton Ireland Golf Betting Odds 

It’s important that you understand golf betting odds before you start wagering, but prices may be displayed differently and can vary widely in real-time.

This changes the way you calculate your potential returns and implied probability.

• Fractional Golf Odds

Using fractional odds is the traditional way of conveying price and value, while this method remains prevalent in the UK.

Fractional odds display two numbers separated by a slash, with the former revealing how much you can expect to win when you stake the latter.

For example, if you place a successful wager of €5 at odds of 10/1, you’ll bank a profit of €50 (while your original €5 stake will also be returned).

• Decimal Golf Odds

Here at Betiton Ireland, we use decimal odds, which utilise single digits to two decimal places.

These numbers display how much you’ll win for every €1 wagered, with decimal odds revealing your potential payout inclusive of the stake amount.

In this instance, successfully wagering €5 at odds of 5.00 will deliver a total return of €25, including winnings of €20.

• American Golf Odds

When betting on golf in the US marketplace, you may encounter ‘American’ or ‘moneyline’ odds.

These combine numerical values with either a plus or a minus sign, highlighting whether the player in question is an underdog or a favourite. If a player is priced with a plus sign, the accompanying number explains how much you’ll win for every €100 staked.

However, if you back a favourite with a minus sign, the number details how much you’ll have to stake to win €100.

Golf Betting Explained by Betiton Ireland

Before you can cultivate a successful golf betting system, it’s important to understand how odds can be used to ascribe an implied probability to a particular outcome.

This can help you to identify value in published odds and inform your stake amount, as you look to calculate each bet’s unique balance between risk and reward.

There’s even a formula for calculating implied probability when using decimal odds:

(1/ decimal odds) * 100 = implied probability

For example, if you want to back Team USA to win the 2023 Ryder Cup, you can take a value of 1 and divide this by the team’s average price of 2.10. The subsequent value should then be multiplied by 100, highlighting that the USA has a 47.61% chance of winning the 2023 Ryder Cup.

This is quite competitive in a contest with just three potential outcomes, and if you want to act on this or similar golf betting markets at Betiton, you’ll need to read and follow the process detailed below to get started:

🔴 U.S. Masters Betting

Masters golf betting is incredibly popular, while the tournament’s unique heritage and history arguably earmark it as the sport’s best major.

It also has the distinction of being the only major to be held at the same course every year (the Augusta National), having been inaugurated back in 1934.

The legendary Jack Nicklaus has won the most Masters titles (six), while Tiger Woods’ surprise victory in 2019 saw him land his fifth ‘green jacket’. The defending champion is Spaniard Jon Rahm.

⚪ The Open Championship Betting

The Open Championship is golf’s oldest major tournament, having been initiated back in 1860. It typically rotates between a select number of coastal links golf courses in the UK, with the 2024 iteration scheduled to take place at Royal Troon in Scotland (which has previously hosted the tournament nine times).

Jersey golfer Harry Vardon has won The Open Championship a record six times, while American Brian Harman is the current champion after winning his maiden crown earlier in 2023.

Interestingly, it’s often an unpredictable tournament that can make betting on the Golf Open Championship challenging.

🔴 Ryder Cup Betting

The Ryder Cup is a biennial men’s golf competition that’s contested by teams from Europe and the United States, while hosting duties usually alternate between these two regions.

The 2023 iteration will take place at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, with the US team looking to retain the title they won so convincingly at Whistling Straits in 2021.

The United States is also the dominant side historically, having won 27 of the 43 iterations that have been hosted since the competition’s inception in 1927.

⚪ The PGA Championship

The PGA Championship (which is often referred to as the USPGA Championship outside of North America) is another golf major that’s up front and centre of the golf betting zone. It’s typically hosted by a selection of courses located in the eastern regions of the US.

The 2023 iteration (which was won by Brooks Koepka) was held at the Oak Hill Country Club. US legends Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus have both won the USPGA Championship five times, while Tiger Woods has four titles to his name.

🔴 The US Open

The third golf major of the season, the US Open, is another incredibly popular tournament that was first held back in 1895.

Another stroke play competition, the US Open has been hosted at various courses and locations in North America over the years, with the 2023 iteration taking place at the picturesque Los Angeles Country Club in California.

Wyndham Clark won his maiden major here in June, while four players (Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus) have each won the US Open on four separate occasions.

• Finishing Positions Markets – You can also back specific golfers to finish in the top five, 10 or 20 at a particular tournament, depending on the size of the respective field.

• Hole-in-One – This is often presented as an even money (or yes/no) betting market, in which you’ll have to wager on whether a particular tournament will feature a coveted hole-in-one.
• Winning Score and Cut Line – These are both attractive over/under markets, which require you to estimate the winning score at the end of a tournament or the score that will see players cut after round two in a major.
• Betting Without – ‘Betting without’ enables you to eliminate top contenders from the field at a particular tournament, potentially creating a more lucrative back bet on one of the remaining competitors.

Golf Betting Tips by Betiton Ireland

We’ve also prepared some expert golf betting tips to help you navigate these wager types and markets.

• Study the Form Strategically – ‘Study the form’ is an incredibly generic piece of sports betting advice, so it’s important to identify the most insightful datasets when preparing your wagers. Outside of a player’s ranking and perceived ability, you should also appraise their recent form and past performance at a particular course, while also factoring in the real-time conditions and how they impact individuals.
• Bet on Majors – A key tenant of responsible bankroll management is ensuring that you wager your money as effectively as possible. This means carefully selecting the tournaments that you wager on, with golf’s four majors arguably offering access to the best and most diverse range of betting markets and highly competitive odds. You’ll also find much greater insights and datasets to help inform your bet selections.
• Avoid Betting on Experienced Players – When betting on majors or any PGA Tour competition, you’ll have to pick from large fields that are packed with highly talented players. Typically, it’s incredibly hard for young or inexperienced players to compete in such tournaments, unless they’re incredibly gifted and considered to be generational talents. So, avoid backing such players where possible, especially for the purposes of outright wagering.
