Golf betting strategies

Golf rewards specialization. Each course favors a type of player: driving distance, iron accuracy, putting on different green types. A player's course history is a valuable indicator, with some golfers consistently performing well on the same layouts.

Each-way markets (Top 5/10/20) offer an excellent risk/reward ratio. Dutching across multiple players is a popular strategy to cover a group of favorites. Head-to-head bets eliminate the variance linked to the large number of participants.
