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 an official 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.
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.
-Settlement of bets is determined when the player leaves the green.
Breaking Ties:
-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.
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.
