Unless you\u2019re an avid fan, then golf probably won\u2019t spring straight to mind when you start betting on sports. Most people tend to start with a few plays on team sports such as Soccer<\/a>, Basketball<\/a> or American Football<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf is a unique sport, and therefore, it represents unique betting opportunities. In this article, we\u2019re going to look at why you might bet on golf, as well as look at golf betting systems and strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why bet on golf?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First things first. Let\u2019s look at why somebody might bet on golf<\/a>? After all, it\u2019s certainly not the first sport you think of when you think of sports betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you want to combine your love for golf with some sports betting action, or maybe you like sports betting<\/a> and are looking to bet on a different sport. Either way, golf can be a great sport to bet on, but why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What often attracts bettors to golf is the possibility of bagging a high-odds winner. Because so many players tee off in a golf tournament, whether it\u2019s on the PGA Tour, the LPGA Tour, the Korn Ferry Tour, or the European Tour, lots of players get down to business, which means that there are big odds on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even those who are considered favourites to win the tournament can often be bet at odds of 12.00 or 13.00. In the NFL<\/a> or the NBA<\/a>, strong favourites are often priced at odds such as 1.50 or even shorter, while a strong favourite in golf can be 8.00 or 9.00 in the betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that draws players to golf betting<\/a> is that there\u2019s plenty of time. In other words, a golf tournament takes a long time, so there\u2019s plenty of time for things to go right. By the same token, there\u2019s plenty of time for things to go wrong, but some bettors like the slow-burning nature of a golf bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a betting system?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Betting systems may seem confusing, and some can be, but the very nature of a betting system is quite simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A betting system is essentially a set of rules or categorizations that helps bettors to identify viable bets. Some systems are complicated, some are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you like to bet on soccer<\/a>, you may devise a system that identifies home teams to win bets or both teams to score bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using golf as an example, your system may be based on players who play well at certain courses. You could create a system whereby you bet on players who\u2019ve achieved certain finishes at a certain tournament a certain amount of times over the last five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people are put off by betting systems because they think devising a system is too serious an approach and that it takes the fun away. This is partly true, as betting systems are generally devised and used by serious bettors, but many bettors enjoy using systems, so it can be fun too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, if you want to try and profit from sports betting, especially golf betting, the betting systems can help. Don\u2019t shy away from them; learn about them and use them to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf betting systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s lot you can do with golf betting. There are lots of different markets to bet on and lots of different angles to take. This means that the possibilities in terms of golf betting systems are somewhat endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re new to golf betting, then you\u2019ll want to keep it simple, but that\u2019s OK because there are lots of simple rules you can put in place to define simple systems, some of which can be very profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To show what a golf betting system may look like, below are a couple of examples of simple golf betting system ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The player’s in-form system<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lots of golf bettors like to bet on golfers only when they\u2019ve hit form, which is far from the worst idea. The idea is that it\u2019s better to bet on golfers coming off the back of some positive efforts than to bet on golfers who\u2019ve been struggling in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of golf betting system can have various rules. For example, you could bet on golfers who\u2019ve finished inside the top five more than once in their last five tournaments. You could bet these golfers to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another variation here could be to bet on golfers who\u2019ve finished inside the top 25 in each of their last three events or three of their last five. The possibilities are endless, and there are plenty of golf betting systems that can be built around players being in hot form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course fit system<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another approach that golf bettors can take is to try and identify players who are good course fits. For example, if an upcoming tournament is at Pebble Beach<\/a>, look for players who\u2019ve played well at Pebble Beach before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make it as simplistic or as complicated as you like. You could choose to bet on golfers who\u2019ve had at least three top-five finishes in their last ten visits to Pebble Beach, for example, or look for players who\u2019ve consistently shot close to a winning score at Pebble Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for players that fit the course and have a proven track record will also help you to eliminate players. After all, if a player consistently plays poorly on a certain course, then you can probably rule them out. This approach can help to narrow down the possible betting options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf betting strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, golf betting is reasonably unique, so there are many things that you should be aware of that may not be relevant when betting on any other sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stand a chance of being successful as a golf bettor, which can be classified as making a profit in the long run, you need to employ some form of strategy, as all successful sports bettors do, no matter what sport or sports they bet on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When forming your golf betting strategy, you should always take into consideration the following things. They may seem small, but each and everyone can help the golf bettor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strokes gained<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, there\u2019s plenty of information to help the golf bettor, and the many strokes gained metrics are great tools to have. Understanding how players perform in relation to their peers in certain areas, such as strokes gained: putting or strokes gained, tee-to-green, can really help the golf bettor to make more informed decisions when it comes to placing wagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you\u2019re thinking of betting on a certain player, but then you realize that in their last five appearances at the venue where the upcoming event will be played, they\u2019ve performed terribly in terms of strokes gained: approach, and you know that strokes gained: approach has historically been an important metric at the venue, then you\u2019re likely to prevent yourself placing a poor bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding and harnessing strokes gained data is a key part of the modern-day golf bettor\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recency bias<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Understanding recency bias is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recency bias in betting presents golf bettors with some exciting alternative opportunities. If one or a few golfers are overbet because of their recent success, then there will be other players who probably should be lower in the betting than they actually are. Look for those players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patience, patience, and more patience<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Patience is HUGE in golf betting. Unfortunately, the nature of the sport means that, for the most part, golf betting is frustrating, but it can be incredibly rewarding, especially if you\u2019re patient. Fortunately, particularly if you\u2019re betting on players to win tournaments, when you do win, you\u2019re going to win big, at least in relation to the size of your stake. This means that you don\u2019t need to win often to make a profit in the long run, you just need to stay patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialize<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even with a sport like Golf, there\u2019s a lot to focus on, so narrow it down. If you want to be betting on top-tier action, then focus your attention on the PGA Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the PGA Tour, narrow it down even more. Maybe you\u2019ll choose to try and identify tournament winners, or perhaps you\u2019ll go for Top-10 bets each week. It\u2019s OK to do both too, but don\u2019t try to spread yourself thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know the players<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The more you study the game, the more bets you place, and the more that you delve into, you\u2019ll start to build up a profile for each player. From a playing and performance point of view, you\u2019ll know what they like, what they dislike, what their strengths are, what conditions they thrive under and on what type, of course, they play their best golf on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping on top of the stats and knowing how players perform in certain situations is a critical part of making sensible golf betting decisions, which is, of course, an integral part of any golf betting strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be put off by a sleeper.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

First off, what\u2019s a sleeper? In golf betting<\/a>, a sleeper is a player who hasn\u2019t won for a while but may do so again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleepers tend to go a long time without really featuring too high up on the leaderboard, but then they\u2019ll bounce back with a high finish or even a win because they suddenly have conditions to suit. If you come across a player who looks suited to a certain course\/tournament and has a positive history in the event\/on the course, from both strokes gained and final position point of view, then don\u2019t let the fact that they\u2019ve not done much recently put you off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
