Golf


General:

1. If the start of a round is delayed, or if play during a round is suspended, all pending wagers will remain valid for 48 hours. If the postponement lasts more than 48 hours, all pending wagers will be canceled and the monies refunded.
2. Wagers on a golfer who does not play in the tournament are graded as No Action, and all monies refunded.
3. A golfer is deemed to have played once he or she has teed off. In the event of a player withdrawing after having teed off, wagers on that player will be lost.
4. Wagers will be settled using the official tournament and match results (including final match correct score and individual match betting). This includes a match which finishes early, either by agreement of the players or because of injury.

Outright Betting (Tournament Winner):

1. The "Field" includes all players not offered by name.
2. All outright bets are settled on the player winning the trophy. The result of play-offs is taken into account.
3. If a tournament does not go the specified number of completed holes (usually 72) and is shortened by the tournament officials, the leader at the end of the number of holes specified by the officials will be the winner, unless there is no further play or only part of a round completed after a bet has been placed, in which case that bet will be canceled.
4. In the event that two or more golfers are tied for the lead at the end of regulation play, a sudden death playoff is normally used to determine the winner of the tournament. In this case, the winner of the playoff is the winner for betting purposes. All other golfers in the playoff will be graded as second-place finishers.
5. In the event of a tie for a finishing position, the tied position will count; for example, if five players tie for eighth place, all five will be considered to have finished eighth.
6. In some tournaments, tournament officials may have the individuals play a specified number of playoff holes to determine the tournament winner. In this case, the golfer with the lowest score after completing the specified number of holes will be declared the winner, and all other golfers in the playoff will be graded as second-place finishers.

Golf Matchups:

1. In head-to-head matchups, both golfers must tee off in order to have action.
2. Players are paired for betting purposes only. The player with the lower score over the entire tournament is the matchup winner.
3. Settlement will be on the player achieving the highest placing at the end of the tournament. If the number of rounds played is reduced, as in the case of bad weather, bets stand providing that a tournament winner is declared.
4. If one player misses the cut, the other player is deemed the winner. If both players miss the cut, the lowest score after the cut has been made will determine the winner.
5. If a player is disqualified or withdraws after starting, either prior to the completion of two rounds or after both players have made the cut, the other player is deemed the winner.
6. If a player is disqualified during either the 3rd or 4th rounds, when the other player in the match bet has already missed the cut, the disqualified player will be considered the winner.

To Miss/Make The Cut:

For some tournaments we may offer prices for players to make the cut (take part in the final rounds), or miss the cut (fail to qualify for the final rounds).
18 Hole Wagering:

The winner will be the player with the lowest score over 18 holes. If scores are level after 18 holes, all wagers will be canceled. Play-offs do not count.
Finishing Position of a Named Player:

In the event of a tie for a finishing position, the tied position will count, eg. a tie with 5 other players for 8th place will count as a finishing position of 8.
Individual Player's Round Score:

All bets will be canceled if the player does not complete the round.
Selected Player's Score At the Next Hole :

All bets will be canceled if the player does not complete the nominated hole. Settlement of bets is determined when the player leaves the green.
Group Betting:

1. The winner will be the player with the lowest score at the end of the tournament (or after the cut if all players miss the cut), playoff included.
2. In the event of a tie, the winner will be the player with the lowest score for the final round. If a tie still exists the stake money on a player is divided by the number of players involved in the tie. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake, with the remainder of the stake money being lost.
3. If a player does not tee off all bets on that group will be void and monies refunded.

Golf Three-Way Matchups (Three-Balls):

1. Wagers on three-way golf matchups, known as "three-balls", will be decided by the lowest score after one full round of play. A full round is complete when 18 holes have been completed.
2. If a player who has started withdraws before completing 18 holes he is deemed a loser regardless of the score. A player has started once he tees off on the first hole. If any player withdraws before starting, all bets on all players in his group are canceled.
3. In the event of starting groups being rearranged, bets will be settled on the original groups.
4. Breaking Ties:
   
   In case of a tie for the low score in three-ball matches, we use the European dead heat rule:
   • If two golfers tie for the best score, a bet on either of these golfers will be settled and paid as follows: Half the bet (lay amount) is paid off at the quoted price, and half the bet loses. A bet on the golfer who finishes last is a losing bet.
   • If all three golfers tie for the best score, a bet on any of these golfers will be settled and paid as follows: One-third of the bet (lay amount) is paid off at the quoted price, and two-thirds of the bet loses.

Top Points Scorer:

In the event of a tie the stake money on a player is divided by the number of players involved in the tie. The full odds are then paid to the divided stake, with the remainder of the stake money being lost.
